🐕 What's barking this weekend?

Hey, Father's Day is coming up, so here's a bark-out to every dog dad, human dad, and guy who somehow became the official pooper scooper.

Today’s Highlights:

Paws For Thought
“Dogs might not solve your problems, but they’ll make you forget them for a while with their goofy grins.”

Pup Hack
Emergency Pet Card

Here is a simple idea most pet parents don’t think about. Keep an emergency pet card in your wallet that says you have pets at home, along with your dog's name, feeding notes, medication info, and an emergency contact.

If something ever happens while you are away from home, this small card can help make sure someone knows your pup needs care. You can find ready-made emergency pet cards on Amazon, or make your own and keep it with your ID.
