Happy National Mutt Day! 🐾❤️

Today we’re celebrating all the amazing mixed-breed dogs who fill our lives with love, laughter, and plenty of goofy moments. This is Miss Scout, one of the precious mutts (and a sweet senior girl 💗) that we get to visit weekly.

Got a mutt at home? We’d LOVE to see them!

📸 Drop your favorite photo of your mixed-breed best friend in the comments and tell us their name! If you know their breed mix, we’d love to hear it…and if not, take your best guess! 😄

Whether they’re 2 breeds or 22, every mutt deserves to be celebrated today. ❤️

Happy National Mutt Day from all of us at Mary Puppins! 🐾

🦟 Wellness Wednesday 🦟

Tiny bugs can cause big problems for our pets, and us too!

Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes aren’t just annoying—they can spread disease and lead to serious health issues.

Here are a few simple ways to help protect your furry family members:

🦟 Mosquitoes can spread heartworms through the bite of an infected mosquito so be sure that your pet gets a heartworm preventive regularly year round.

🕷️ Ticks can transmit diseases and often hide between your pet’s toes, around the ears, and under collars.

🪳 Fleas can cause itchy skin, allergic reactions, and even spread tapeworms.

Here in North Georgia, these pests can be active year-round, so it’s important to:
✔ Keep your pet on your veterinarian’s recommended year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
✔ Check your pet for ticks after walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures.
✔ Contact your veterinarian if you notice excessive scratching, embedded ticks, or signs of illness after a bite.

💙 Bonus Tip: We love pawTree Flea & Tick Spray for extra outdoor protection before walks, hikes, or backyard playtime. It’s made with essential oils to help repel fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. We use it as an added layer of protection on our pets.

A few minutes of prevention today can help keep your pet healthy all year long. ❤️🐾

🐾 Wellness Wednesday: Healthy for You Doesn’t Always Mean Safe for Your Pet

I almost didn’t have a Wellness Wednesday topic this week…until Percy chose one for me!

The other day, I was taking cherries out of a bowl to put them through my cherry pitter. One slipped out of my hand and hit the floor. Before I could even bend down to pick it up, Percy had already grabbed it—and bit into the pit.

He spent the next 36 hours sick, and it was very scary

It reminded me just how quickly something as simple as a dropped piece of fruit can become a serious situation for our pets.

Many fruits and vegetables we enjoy can be dangerous for our pets. Some are harmful to both dogs and cats, while others are especially dangerous for dogs.

🍒 Cherries – The pits, stems, and leaves contain compounds that can release cyanide when chewed. The pits can also be a choking hazard or cause an intestinal blockage.

🍇 Grapes & Raisins – Can cause sudden kidney failure in dogs. While the effects in cats aren’t as well understood, it’s safest to contact your veterinarian right away if either species eats them.

🧅 Onions, Garlic, Chives & Leeks – Toxic to both dogs and cats and can damage red blood cells, leading to anemia.

🥑 Avocados – The pit is a choking and blockage hazard, and the fruit may cause stomach upset in some pets.

🍑 Peach, Plum & Apricot Pits – Like cherry pits, they can release cyanide when chewed and may also cause an intestinal blockage.

🌽 Corn Cobs – Can become lodged in a dog’s intestines and often require emergency surgery to remove.

❤️ The biggest lesson I learned? Even when we’re paying attention, our pets can be faster than we are. From now on, my cherries and cherry pitter will stay in the sink on top of paper towels instead of on the counter. It’s a simple change that gives me peace of mind and helps keep Percy safe.

If your pet ever eats something questionable, don’t wait for symptoms to appear. Contact your veterinarian right away. You can also call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 (a consultation fee may apply).

Thankfully, Percy is feeling much better now, and I hope sharing our experience helps another family avoid the same scare.

💬 Has your pet ever grabbed something they weren’t supposed to? We’d love to hear your story in the comments. You might help another pet parent avoid the same situation!

Here’s one for this week’s Friday Furry Funnies! 😂 Has your pet done anything funny this week??

🔥🐾 Wellness Wednesday | June 15th is National Pet Fire Safety Day

This week’s Wellness Wednesday is especially close to my heart.

Years ago, a friend lost all seven of her Dobermans in a house fire. It changed her life forever, and she has never been able to bring another dog into her home. 💔

I share her story not to frighten anyone, but because it reminds us how quickly life can change—and how important it is to be prepared.

Many people don’t realize that pets can accidentally start house fires by turning stove k***s, knocking over candles, or chewing electrical cords. Fortunately, there are simple steps we can take to help protect the furry members of our families.

🔥 Help Prevent Fires

• Cover or remove accessible stove k***s.
• Never leave candles, fireplaces, or other open flames unattended.
• Secure loose or damaged electrical cords.

🚒 Help First Responders Help Your Pets

• Place pet rescue decals on every exterior door so firefighters know pets are inside. They are available from places like Home Depot and of course, Amazon, inexpensively.
• Keep the information updated whenever you number or types of pets change.

🦮 Be Ready to Leave Quickly

• Keep leashes where you can reach them quickly. (I keep mine beside my bed.)
• Keep carriers assembled and easy to grab—not tucked away in storage.

🏷️ Make Sure Your Pets Can Find Their Way Home

• Check that every pet’s ID tag is current and easy to read.
• Verify your microchip registration has your current phone number, address, and emergency contact.

📋 Have a Pet Emergency Plan

• Know your pets’ favorite hiding places. Frightened pets often hide instead of coming when called.
• Keep a digital pet profile with recent photos, medications, veterinarian information, and microchip numbers.
• Decide who will be responsible for each pet during an emergency.
• If you’re away from home during the day, consider leaving a trusted neighbor or family member with emergency contact information and a spare key. Make sure they know how many pets are in your home, where they usually hide, and where leashes and carriers are kept.

Most importantly: Once you’re safely outside, never go back into a burning home. Tell firefighters immediately how many pets are inside and where they’re most likely to be found.

❤️ We all hope we’ll never need these plans—but taking a few minutes today could save the life of someone who depends on you.

📄 Coming soon! I’m creating a FREE printable Pet Emergency Profile and Emergency Planning Kit that you’ll be able to download to help keep all of your pets’ important information in one place. Stay tuned!

Because they’re family. ❤️

🐾 Team Tuesday 🐾

We’re already getting excited about the Humane Society lock-in coming up this September!

The last time I participated, the event was called “Locked Up for Good,” which is exactly what it sounds like: participants spend the day “locked up “ with an adoptable dog while raising “bail” money to support the Humane Society.

I’ve participated before, and it’s such a fun and meaningful way to spend time with shelter dogs while helping raise funds for animals in adoption at the Humane Society.

This year, I invited the Mary Puppins team to join me, and we already have two team members interested in getting locked up for good with me. 🐶❤️

Our team bail goal is set at $400 now, and we’d love your support when fundraising opens!

If you’d like to participate too, I’ll share the registration link below. The more people raising bail for the animals, the better!

These are pictures from a previous Humane Society lock-in. My “crime” was giving away belly rubs, and yes, I absolutely cried when my kennel buddy was adopted in the group photo 🥰
