Stop procrastinating. Get your pet microchipped. 🐶🐱📍

If your pet isn't microchipped yet, consider this your reminder to finally put it on the calendar.

Collars can break. Tags can fall off. Pets can slip through doors, escape yards, or get frightened and run. A microchip provides a permanent form of identification that can help reunite you if your pet ever becomes lost.

Already microchipped? Great! But your job isn't quite done. Make sure the chip is registered and your contact information is current. A microchip with an outdated phone number isn't nearly as helpful. It’s one of those little pet-care tasks that’s easy to keep saying, “I’ll do it later.”

Make "later" today. 💗🐾

Ask your veterinarian about microchipping at your pet’s next appointment, or schedule one if you've been putting it off!

Let’s bust three common pet grooming myths. 🐶🐱🛁

MYTH #1: Grooming is only necessary for dogs that need haircuts.

Nope! Even short-haired dogs benefit from regular brushing, nail trims, ear care, and bathing when needed. Grooming is about much more than a fresh haircut.

MYTH #2: Only dirty pets need grooming.

Grooming isn’t just about getting clean. Regular grooming can help prevent mats, keep nails at a comfortable length, remove loose fur, and give you an opportunity to notice changes in your pet’s skin, coat, paws, ears, or body.

MYTH #3: Cats don’t need grooming.

Cats may be talented self-groomers, but that doesn’t mean they never need help! Brushing can remove loose fur and help prevent mats, while some cats may also need occasional nail trims or additional coat care, especially seniors, long-haired cats, or cats who have difficulty grooming themselves.
Good grooming isn’t just about looking cute. It’s part of helping pets stay comfortable and cared for. 💗🐾

Although looking ridiculously cute afterward certainly doesn’t hurt! 😉

Your dog walker sends you an update: “Great walk today! We passed two dogs, waited nicely at the corner, and had a relaxing stroll around the neighborhood.”

Meanwhile, you’re thinking: Are we talking about the same dog? 😅

If your dog seems calmer, listens better, or walks more politely for their professional dog walker than they do for you, don’t take it personally. It’s actually pretty common.

Dogs develop different relationships, expectations, and routines with different people. If you’ve ever wondered, Why does my dog behave better for the dog walker than for me? We have a blog for you. Click the link in our first comment to check it out. 🔗🐾

October 14 is Pet Obesity Awareness Day. 🐶🐱🐾

A few extra pounds might not seem like a big deal, but maintaining a healthy weight is an important part of supporting your pet’s overall health, mobility, and quality of life.

And weight management isn’t just about feeding less. It’s about looking at the whole picture: nutrition, treats, exercise, age, health, lifestyle, and your individual pet’s needs.

For dogs, regular walks can be an important piece of that puzzle. They provide consistent movement while also offering enrichment, sniffing, and an opportunity to get out and explore.

Not sure whether your pet is at a healthy weight? Skip the guessing and talk with your veterinarian about their ideal body condition and an appropriate nutrition and exercise plan.

Healthy doesn’t have one shape or one number on the scale. The goal is helping your individual pet feel and function at their best. 💗🐾

No matter how long we get with them, it’s never enough. 💗🐾

We can have years of walks, couch cuddles, silly routines, favorite treats, muddy paw prints, and ordinary days that we don’t realize are extraordinary until later.

And somehow, we’ll always wish we had just a little more time.

One more walk.
One more car ride.
One more morning waking up with them beside us.
One more chance to scratch that favorite spot and tell them how loved they are.

Our pets may only be part of our lives for a chapter, but the love they give us stays long after that chapter ends.

So take the picture. Go for the walk. Give the extra cuddle. Let them sniff a little longer.

There will never be enough time with them, so make the time you have count. 💗🐶🐱

October is Pet Wellness Month! 💗🐾

Wellness isn’t just about vet visits, nutrition, and exercise. Sometimes it’s the little things, like keeping those nails trimmed. ✂️🐶

Overgrown nails can make walking uncomfortable and can affect how a dog stands and moves. Long nails are also more likely to snag, split, or break, turning a routine grooming task into a painful problem.

Regular nail care helps:

🐾 Keep paws comfortable
🐾 Support normal movement and posture
🐾 Reduce the risk of painful breaks or snags
🐾 Give you a chance to regularly check paws and nails for changes

And if your pet hates nail trims? Don’t force a stressful wrestling match just to get it done. Talk with your veterinarian, groomer, or qualified trainer about ways to make nail care safer and more comfortable through gradual, positive experiences. If you feel comfortable, try this nail trim hack and let us know how it goes! 💗🐾

HOW MANY PET PHOTOS DO YOU HAVE ON YOUR PHONE?! 📱🐶🐱

And perhaps more importantly...

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY?! 😂

📸 Sleeping? Photo.
📸 Sitting weird? Photo.
📸 Cute paws? Photo.
📸 Doing the same thing they did yesterday? Obviously, another photo.
📸 Blurry picture where you can barely tell it’s your pet? Keep it forever.

And somehow, deleting any of them feels completely unreasonable because this one is different.

We’ll go first: working in pet care means our camera rolls are basically 90% pets and 10% everything else. 💗🐾

Now check your phone and confess below: How many pet photos are currently living in your camera roll? 👇

You come home from work, unlock the door, and there’s your dog, tail wagging and thrilled to see you...

Everything looks fine. But how do you know what happened during the eight or nine hours before you walked through the door?

Some dogs genuinely handle time alone well. Others may experience boredom, stress, anxiety, or simply struggle with going an entire workday without a bathroom break or activity.

Since your dog can’t exactly send you a midday status report, you have to look for clues. In our blog, we share 5 ways to tell if your dog did well home alone while you were at work. Check it out at the link in the first comment. 🔗🐾

The best way to assess your dog’s state of mind while home alone is to use a security or pet camera. Today, cameras are very affordable and can be placed in the room or rooms where your dog stays while you’re away.
