🐾 Training doesn’t have to be tricky (get it?)! While we associate learning manners with puppies, any age is a good age to learn something new.

Training also can help with anxiety and it’s a great way to engage and bond with your pup!

Check out our tips on when and how to choose a trainer for your pet & share this post with friends who have a pet that could use some help!

😼Hi. It’s me. Your cat. I have heard that the dogs are trying to better themselves this year with some resolutions.

Well, I can beat that! I will resolve to:

1. Knock fewer things off the counter. (No promises.)
2. Tolerate the dog…on Tuesdays.
3. Sharpen claws only on the scratching post. (In theory.)
4. Drink more water—maybe from an actual bowl.
5. Graciously allow you to believe you are in charge.

#1 - Bundle them up-especially if they are lower to the ground
#2 - Protect your pet from deicing chemicals by wiping them down after walks
#3 - Moisturize their skin by brushing regularly
#4 - Stay away from frozen bodies of water to prevent them from falling through cracked ice
#5 - Keep antifreeze out of your pet’s reach and immediately wipe up any spills
#6 - Do not leave your pet unattended in a vehicle or outside

Is ‘living my best life’ at the top of your pet’s 2026 resolution list? 🐶🐱

One of the biggest factors in feeling good—moving easier, playing longer, staying comfortable—is a healthy weight. And you’re not alone if this is something you’re working on with your pet: more than half of dogs and cats are overweight.

The good news? Small changes can make a big difference!

Let’s kick off the New Year helping our pets feel their best—inside and out.

What’s one healthy habit you’re focusing on this year for your pet? 👇

🗒️Hi. It’s me. Your dog. I’ve been thinking about how I can be the bestest version of myself in 2026. This year I resolve to:

1. Not bark at the mail carrier…every single day.
2. Share the couch (but not the blanket).
3. Let you sleep in…at least once a month
4. Try to be brave for my next nail trim.
5. Stop pretending I don’t hear “bath time.”

What would your pet’s New Year’s resolution be? 🐶🐱
