Paws For Thought

“Dogs are like potato chips - it’s almost impossible to have just one. Each one adds a little more joy, a little more love, and a lot more paw prints to your life.”

Paw Health
The Banana Peel Trick

Here’s a quirky tip you might not know: the inside of a banana peel 🍌 can help soothe mild skin irritations on your pup, such as bug bites or small itchy spots. The peel’s natural oils and compounds have anti-inflammatory properties that may calm itching and reduce redness.

Just rub the inside of the peel gently on the area for a few seconds. It’s not a replacement for proper vet care, but it’s a simple natural trick 🪄 worth remembering for those little annoyances.
