Share Your Pooch!

👋 Meet Toby from Wilton Manors. This sleek, stylish pup was sent in by our friend Jeff - and we're guessing there's some Italian Greyhound in the mix! With those long legs and alert ears, Toby looks ready to strut any runway… or maybe just race to the treat jar.

👋 Say hello to J’adore! This 3-month-old heartthrob is as sweet as he is stylish. He loves shopping for new toys, making friends with both cats and dogs, and stealing hearts wherever he goes. With a big personality and a face made for the camera, J’adore is the perfect boy!

Raw Vibrance
Nope, This Isn’t An Ad!

If you're like me and feed your dog a raw 🥩 or homemade diet, you've probably wondered if they’re getting everything they need. I had the same concern, which is why I started adding Dr. Harvey’s Raw Vibrance to my dogs’ meals.

It’s an easy way to cover the bases without overthinking 🤔 it. Plus, since you mix it with warm water, it adds a bit of hydration to their meal too - always a bonus. I still get to feed them fresh food, but now I feel better knowing they’re not missing out on important nutrients.

Do your own research 🔎 and look up Dr. Harvey’s brand ratings - they have a solid reputation and great reviews.

Although it’s made for raw or home-cooked meals, plenty of dog parents who feed kibble also use it as a topper or nutrient 💪 boost.
