Paws For Thought
“For your dog, that walk means everything. Leave the phone behind and soak it in together.”
Got The Itch?
Omega-3s To The Rescue
Dry, flaky skin got your pup scratching? Try adding plain sardines (in water, no salt) to their meals a few times a week. They’re packed with omega-3s 🐟 to nourish skin and coat - and best of all, they’re super affordable at most grocery stores!
Combine this with regular brushing 🪮 and a moisturizing dog-safe shampoo for a happier, itch-free dog.

🤔 Interesting Fact
How The Big Screen Is Influencing Dog Adoptions
Since the new Superman film hit theaters, Google searches for “adopt a dog near me” increased by 513% after the movie’s premiere weekend, according to Google Trends.
Interest in related terms also surged, with “rescue dog adoption near me” up 163% and “adopt a schnauzer” jumping 299%.
The surge is all thanks to Krypto, Superman’s devoted rescue pup, who stole hearts on screen. While Krypto is fully CGI, he was inspired by director James Gunn’s real-life rescue dog, Ozu - which makes the character’s impact even more heartfelt.
