Paws For Thought
“No matter how little money or how few possessions you own, having a dog makes you rich.”

Bow Wow Ween
Did You Miss It?

The City of Pembroke Pines had a tail-wagging good time at the 12th Annual Bow Wow Ween!

Watch as 🐕 furry friends strut their stuff in adorable costumes 🎃 at Craig Rupp K-9 Dog Park. Catch all the fun moments in the 📽️ event video!

Gut Health Boost
Easy To Find Probiotic-Packed Options

Looking to give your dog's gut health a natural boost? Here are some easy, probiotic-packed options you can find anywhere.

Plain Yogurt (unsweetened and unflavored): A spoonful mixed 🥄 in their meal is a great way to introduce live cultures like Lactobacillus (healthy bacteria) into their diet.

Kefir: This fermented milk drink 🥛 is loaded with probiotics and can support digestion - just be sure to start with small amounts.

Fermented Vegetables: Small servings of veggies like carrots 🥕 or beets can also provide natural probiotics for your pup.

Add these to their diet gradually, and they’ll be barking with a happy belly in no time!

World Record Giant
Imagine The Food Bill!

Zorba, an Old English Mastiff from London in the 1980s, was a true giant of the dog world. He set a remarkable record, measuring a jaw-dropping 8 feet 3 inches from nose to tail 🐾 and standing 37 inches tall at the shoulder. Zorba’s size was nothing short of legendary, earning him the title of the world's largest dog.

Can you even imagine the size of his food bills? This massive pup surely had an appetite 🍖 as impressive as his size!
