The weather is changing! Perfect weather to go on longer walks🎉! Harnesses are a great idea for your dogs when walking! Ever wonder if it was fitting your pet properly? Here are a few things you should be checking!
- Is the size correct? The harness should not be too loose or too tight! You can check this by making sure you can easily slip a two fingers underneath without struggle but not a full fist!
- Is it pinching ? make sure the neck area is not cutting into their neck or is easy for them to slip out from!
- Proper placement? Make sure you have the harness sitting proper on the body by making sure you aren’t having any gapping on the main body of the harness and that it’s sitting far back!
A harness that fits well and doesn’t impact your pets mobility will encourage them to walk more and for longer!
We have a wide variety of different harnesses for your dogs! Come ask us for assistance with fitting!!
Fresh food has sooooo many benefits for your pet! Even if it seems daunting going full fresh even adding in as little as 20% into their diet can have so many awesome benefits for your pets! Better dental health, reduced allergies, reduced pickyness and weight management just to name a few. Today we will be focusing on weight management! When your pet eats primarily a processed food such a kibble, they tend to lack digestive enzymes in their diet which can help break down their food. Most kibbles as well are higher in carb content which is a harder macronutrient for your pets to break down being mainly carnivores. Fresh meats, fruits add veggies have naturally occurring probiotics and digestive enzymes! Adding these into your pets diet will have a huge benefit on their digestive process. These fresh counterparts are also way lower in carbohydrates compared to a processed kibble therefore they can help keep the pesky weight off! Some options for adding in fresh food can be raw, freeze dried, toppers and more! Stop in and let us show you all of the simple fresh foods we carry to kick start your pets weight management goals!

How is raw food beneficial for your pets oral/dental health? Raw food in many ways is good for your animals dental health, one of the reasons being that raw food contains enzymes that help to break down the plaque and bacteria on your pets teeth! the enzymes inside a raw food diet that break down /scrape away the tartar actually result as if your dogs teeth have been flossed, with clean gums! Another benefit of raw regarding dental health would be that raw diets are completely natural, so there are no synthetic ingredients included, for example (no sugars/starchs) which actually are a cause of plaque buildup and bad bacteria! Raw food is also very rich in minerals! Such as calcium and phosphorus. Calcium is good for your pets dental health as it prevents tartar from turning into hard plaque. Phosphorus is also a great mineral to notice, as it keeps the teeth very strong and healthy, while also preventing plaque buildup on the teeth! Raw diets also contains a high amount of “good bacteria” preventing tartar and plaque on your pets teeth. Even ground raw diets prevent dental plaque, as the meat contains natural enzymes and does not stick to the pets teeth vs. A diet that is higher in starch or sugars.
