Paws For Thought
“Your dog doesn’t need you to be perfect. They just need you to be there - with a kind voice, a gentle hand, and a little time.”
Kibble Upgrade
Small Changes, Big Benefits
Adding simple, wholesome toppings is an easy way to boost nutrition - and your dog will thank you with tail wags. Try a splash of Jaffee’s bone broth for hydration and joint support, or crack a fresh egg 🥚 over their bowl a few times a week to add natural vitamins and amino acids. A spoonful of plain Greek yogurt or kefir can introduce gut friendly probiotics for better digestion.
Just make sure these fresh extras stay under 25% of their total daily calories to maintain a balanced diet.

Big Dog Station
Dive In With Your Pup
Big Dog Station in Oakland Park is a laid-back, dog-loving neighborhood bar where pups are always welcome. It’s a true local favorite with dive-bar charm, friendly bartenders, plenty of TVs for the game, and a steady lineup of 🎸 live music, themed nights, and Music Bingo that keep things lively all week long.
The menu hits all the comfort food cravings, from juicy burgers 🍔 and crispy tots to wings, buffalo tacos, and stacked 🥪 sandwiches. Open from morning to late night, it’s the kind of spot where you can swing by after a walk with your dog or settle in for a relaxed evening with good food, cold drinks, and even better company - whether they bark or not.

🤔 Interesting Fact
Your Dog Is Not A Food Critic
Dogs have a world-class nose… but a pretty lousy sense of taste. With only about 1,700 taste buds (compared to our 9,000!), your pup isn’t exactly a refined food critic. Their powerful sniffer plays a much bigger role in what they decide to eat.
If it gives off an interesting scent - whether it’s a piece of steak or a sweaty gym sock - chances are, they’ll give it a nibble. That’s why dogs are known for eating just about anything, from sandwich crusts to things they really shouldn’t. To them, if it smells good, it is good.
