Paws For Thought

"Dogs don't check their phones when you're talking to them, don't multitask during a walk, and never pretend to listen while thinking about something else. They've mastered the art of being completely present."

Paw Care
Why Wipe Your Dog’s Paw

Regularly wiping your dog’s paws with a damp cloth after walks can do wonders - not just to keep your floors clean, but to protect your dog’s health. Paw pads 🐾 can pick up all sorts of harmful substances like lawn pesticides, other dogs’ waste that can contain bacteria or parasites, or tiny glass shards.

Cleaning 🫧 their paws helps prevent irritation, infections, and accidental ingestion of toxins 💀 when they lick their feet later.

Make a gentle habit of wiping their paws after every 🐕‍🦺 walk - in the city or at the park - and your pup’s paws - and overall health - will thank you.
