Paws For Thought
"A dog’s love is a quiet promise - no matter how the world changes, their loyalty, joy, and trust in you will always remain the same."

Do me a solid… follow Broward Bark on Instagram.

Sole Mates
Why Does Your Dog Sit on Your Feet?

Ever wonder why your dog loves to park itself right on your 🦶 toes? While it can be endearing - and occasionally inconvenient - this behavior is your dog's way of staying close and protective. By sitting on your feet, they're maintaining physical contact, which helps them sense your emotions and surroundings while offering both 🥰 comfort and security.

So, the next time your pup 🐕 makes your feet their favorite seat, know it's their way of saying, "I've got you."

3 Weird Things for Dogs

👉 Bacon-Flavored Paste - If your pup turns their nose up at medicine, this bacon-flavored pill paste is a game-changer. It wraps around pills, powders, and even liquid drops, masking them with a flavor dogs can’t resist. Bonus: It also comes in peanut butter and other tasty options!

👉 Donut Recovery Collar - Forget the dreaded cone of shame - this sprinkle-covered donut collar lets your pup recover with dignity (and a touch of flair). It’s comfy, less obstructive, and way cuter. Because healing should come with sprinkles!

👉 Snuffle Mat - Sniff, Snack & Stay Busy! This snuffle mat makes mealtime a fun foraging game while keeping pups entertained. Looks fun - I’m getting one for my own pack!
