Sadie’s pest control service. No qualifications. Unmatched enthusiasm 😂🍂

According to her mom, she thinks she can take on every bug. Today’s suspect appears to be a leaf, but Sadie isn’t taking chances.

Our funny Dogtales continue with this little weirdo, whom we fully support. 🐾

What harmless thing does your dog take VERY seriously? 👇

“Dooooo you wanna…” 👀

Ruby and Riley would like you to finish that sentence. Preferably with a walk, a cruise or a sweet.

Certain phrases get their little heads wobbling, and honestly? We’d struggle to resist saying them again.

What words get an instant reaction from your dog—even when you thought you said them quietly? 👇

PUPPY ESSENTIALS | LESS IS MORE!

Bringing home a new puppy? Before you fill your shopping cart with every cute toy, fancy bed and puppy accessory, remember that a happy puppy doesn’t need a house full of things! 🐶

It’s not about how much you buy, but how thoughtfully you prepare.

A comfortable place to rest, a few appropriate toys, safe walking equipment and the basics for everyday care are more than enough to get started.

What matters most can’t be bought: patience, consistency, routine and time spent building a relationship with your puppy.💚

Keep it simple. Focus on what your puppy actually needs, and add to your collection as they grow.

After all, the best investment you’ll make isn’t in puppy supplies — it’s in raising a confident, happy and well-adjusted companion.

TICK SEASON IS HERE! 🕷️

With the warmer weather, ticks are becoming more active, and it’s important to keep our dogs protected!

🐕 A few simple precautions:
✔️ Stay up to date with tick preventatives.
✔️ Check your dog after walks, especially around the ears, neck, paws and belly.
✔️ Keep grass and overgrown areas trimmed.
✔️ If you find a tick, remove it carefully with a tick-removal tool or fine-tipped tweezers.

🚨 Know the signs of biliary:
Lethargy, loss of appetite, fever, pale gums, weakness or dark urine.

Biliary can progress quickly, so if you notice any of these symptoms, seek veterinary attention immediately.

A quick tick check can go a long way in keeping your dog safe!💚

"My sausage dog won’t stop barking at guests.” That tells us what the dog is doing—but not why.

Is the barking driven by alarm, fear, excitement, frustration or a need for distance?

Does it begin at the gate, stop when the guest sits down, then restart when they move?

This case stays open because barking isn’t a diagnosis. Before trying to stop the noise, we need to understand the pattern around it.

The barking is loud. The clues are quieter. 🐾

You get a dog for companionship. Suddenly you’re doing unplanned cardio in public 😂🏃‍♀️

She bolted. Her human followed. We can safely say only one of them thought this was a fun activity.

This month’s funny Dogtales continue with a reminder that behind every runaway dog is an owner hoping nobody they know is watching. 🐾

Has your dog ever made you run for your dignity? Tell us the story. 👇

Some dogs have an inside voice. This one has a public address system😂📢

Everyone needs to be greeted. Everything needs commentary. And yes, the whole room needs to hear it.

October’s funny Dogtales continue with a little lady who apparently has a lot to say🐾
