Paws For Thought

“A leash may guide, a bark may warn, but it’s the silent stare of a dog that teaches us trust is earned.”

 🎃 Hey friends! Hope to see you at the Bow Wow Ween event tomorrow (Saturday). Check out the details below - and be sure to stop by my tent. I’ll have freebies and plenty of fun costumes for your pets ($5-$10 only).

Paw Health
Cold Tail?

Ever notice your dog’s tail 🐕 suddenly droop after a big swim or an active day? It might be “cold tail” (also known as limber tail). This temporary condition leaves the tail sore and limp, making wagging difficult. The good news - it usually clears up with a few days of rest. 😴 To help prevent it, avoid overexertion in cold water and keep an eye on your pup’s tail after long play sessions.
