🐕 paws up... your bark is here

Hey, it’s time for another round of Broward Bark - the newsletter that sheds more joy than your dog sheds fur!

Today’s Highlights:

Paws For Thought

“A dog's love teaches us that the smallest moments - a nuzzle, a wag, a glance - often carry the biggest meaning.”

Whisker Watch
Simple Fix For Picky Eaters

Some pups get fussy at mealtime because their whiskers brush against the sides of deep bowls. A simple fix is using a wide, shallow dish - it makes eating more comfortable and stress‑free for sensitive dogs. While this issue is more common in cats, it can happen with dogs too.

Pup Picks

👉 Doggy Dream Tunes - I put together a little bedtime song for my dogs - think spa day sounds, but with more snoring and paw twitches. 🎶 They actually seem to enjoy it. Give it a listen… if your pup needs lullabies to settle down at night, this might do the trick!

Let me know what your dog thinks! Subscribe to my YouTube channel!

👉 Tootsie Roll Store - Did you know the Tootsie Roll brand makes dog toys? 🍭 Yep! The Blow Pop Plush & Rope Dog Toy looks just like the classic lollipop - complete with a squeaky plush top and a durable rope stick for chewing, tugging, and fetching.

It even comes in candy-inspired scents like apple, cherry, grape, and watermelon to keep pups playing longer. Sweet fun for dogs of all sizes! Fetch more candy‑themed goodies in the store.
