Paws For Thought
“Life is short. Say yes to the walk. Let them cuddle with you on the couch. Take a break for belly rubs. Treasure every moment.”

For over 34 years, the Walk for the Animals has been the Humane Society of Broward County's largest annual fundraiser, helping thousands of animals each year. Your donation supports veterinary care, food, shelter, and more for every animal they serve.

Please consider donating or joining the Broward Bark team to show your support!

Our Fans
(send dogs pics only - no nudes)

🐶 Meet Stormy, the fluffball of perfection with a coat so stunning it deserves its own spotlight! Seriously, this pup's fur looks like it was handcrafted by the doggo gods themselves!

🐕 The Parkland Farmer's Market was a hit for Sinenna, the 5-month-old American Bulldog mix with a gorgeous brindle coat! She's great with dogs, cats, and kids – all this sweet girl wants is a cozy lap and endless love!

Share your pup’s 📸 photo with me! Reply to this email with a picture, and I'll do my best to feature it in an upcoming newsletter or on social media.

Amazon Addict
My Last 3 Orders:

👉 Virbac C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews - These helps keep teeth clean 🪥 and freshen breath, even on days when brushing isn't possible.

👉 No Tangle Double Leash - I ignored all those viral TikToks for months... but turns out, it actually works! 🤔 Who would've thought?

👉 Anti Ant Pet Bowl - We got this for our cat actually…. after ants 🐜 would attack her wet food nightly… this thing works!

Green Bananas
A Pup-Approved Snack

Yes! Green bananas can be a healthy, low-sugar snack for your 🐶 pup. They're packed with fiber to aid digestion, plus potassium, magnesium, and vitamins B6 & C for overall wellness. The resistant starch even supports gut health! Just remember to peel them and serve in small portions - too much fiber can lead to tummy 💩 troubles.

Green vs. Yellow Bananas – What's the Difference? Green bananas have less sugar and more fiber, making them great for gut health, while yellow bananas are sweeter with less fiber - better for an occasional treat. Both can be healthy for pups when served in moderation!
