Just like us, dogs have their own preferences when it comes to play. Your pup might love a good game of chase or wrestling with friends, while another dog may be happier exploring, playing with a smaller group, or getting some one-on-one attention.

Understanding how your dog likes to play helps us get a better sense of what they enjoy and where they’re most comfortable.

🎓 Training Tip Tuesday: Practice a strong “leave it.”

Fall walks mean plenty of things for your dog to sniff and investigate, including a few things you’d rather they leave alone, like acorns, mushrooms, or dropped food.

Practice “leave it” at home first with something that’s easy for your dog to ignore. When they leave it alone and look back to you, reward them.

Fall brings plenty of seasonal favorites, and there are a few your dog can enjoy, too. 🎃🍎

Plain pumpkin, apple slices, cooked sweet potato, and green beans can all make tasty fall treats for your pup when served plain and in moderation.

Remember to remove apple seeds and cores and skip added sugar, butter, spices, and seasonings.

What’s your pup’s favorite fall treat?

Have you tried a snuffle mat with your dog?

A snuffle mat turns treats or kibble into a game by encouraging your dog to use their nose to find each piece. Scatter a few treats throughout the mat, tuck some into harder-to-find spots, and let your pup sniff them out at their own pace.

You might be surprised how much they enjoy the hunt.

Noticing more fur around the house lately?

As the seasons change, some dogs may shed more as their coats adjust to cooler weather. Regular brushing can help remove loose fur, prevent tangles, and keep their skin and coat healthy.

If your pup’s coat could use a little extra attention, we can help.

It’s almost Howl-O-Ween! 🎃🐾

Planning to bring your pup along for trick-or-treating? Costumes, candy, doorbells, decorations, and lots of people can make Halloween a lot for a dog to take in.

Here are five tips to keep in mind:

🐾 Make sure their costume is comfortable and doesn’t restrict movement
🐾 Check that ID tags and contact information are up to date
🐾 Bring dog-friendly treats and keep Halloween candy out of reach
🐾 Be mindful of decorations, noises, and other things that may startle your pup
