🍓🐶 Snack time, but make it dog-friendly! 💙

Fruits can be a fun, refreshing treat for your pup when served safely and in moderation. Just remember to wash them, remove any unsafe seeds, pits, or rinds, and cut them into bite-sized pieces!

🚨 Important reminder: Grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs and should always be avoided.

Save this post for your next trip to the fruit bowl, and share it with a fellow pet parent! 🐾

🏕️🐾 Camping season is calling! Before you pack the treats and hit the trails, make sure your four-legged adventure buddy is ready too.

🐶 Keep pets leashed or securely contained
💧 Bring plenty of fresh water
🦟 Stay up to date on flea, tick & heartworm prevention (ask about our current promo!!)
🌵 Watch for wildlife, plants, and other outdoor hazards
🩹 Pack a pet-friendly first aid kit
☀️ Keep an eye on the temperature and know when it’s time for a break

A little preparation goes a long way toward keeping your adventure fun, safe, and tail-wagging! 💙

The temps are finally beginning to drop, which means it’s time to get back outside! 🍂🐾

Cooler weather is perfect for longer walks, hikes, backyard adventures, and all the sniffing your pup can handle. But remember, even when it feels cooler to us, pets can still overdo it. Start slow, watch their energy levels, and give them plenty of water and breaks along the way.

Keep in mind that the Phoenix valley still fluctuates a lot so it’s always smart to schock the weather before planning exercise activities!

Here’s to more adventures with our favorite four-legged friends! 💙🐶

Did you know that pets, even the tiniest of ones, can suffer from allergies, too? If your dog starts to sneeze whenever he or she is outside or your cat has a reaction to a new food, it may be because of an emerging allergy.

Look at those cuties! 🐶🐕 Having new puppies in the house is fun, but it is *hard work*! Start off potty training successfully by designating a space outside for them to go, and reward them every time they do.

Gorgeous cats like Maru here need a little extra TLC because of their unique look! Weekly baths are required to remove excess oils from their skin, just be sure to dry them off completely to keep them cozy and warm.
