It’s International Dog Day today! Share a photo of your dog with us and let us know how you are celebrating the day.
Featuring Furryornot gang members Taco, Pickles, Cooper, Lili, Caitlin, Baker, and Radar. But we love all of our dog pals!!
Today is Black Cat Appreciation Day so we are celebrating by featuring some of the gang members we know and love. Inja is a great jumper, loves to run laps, and has the best fangs. Wendy is a fun playful cat who loves chasing toys down the stairs and leaping onto the cat tree, after dinner. Coco is a very sweet fluffball who enjoys attention and being told how cute they are. Cole is a great host and always greets me upon arrival, he enjoys dinnertime and his catio. Max enjoys flopping over and swimming a bit on the floor or counter, he also enjoys dinner. Do you love black cats too? Let us know in the comments. Or better yet share a photo of your black cat for us to see and gush over.
It’s National Relaxation Day and since Ziggy is an expert relaxer we have a few ideas on how to help your pet relax! It’s also National Check the Chip Day so another way to relax is to take care of important tasks like making sure your pet’s microchip info is registered and up to date. Then you can relax with your pet knowing they are protected if lost. How are you going to relax today? What do you do to help your pet relax? Let us know in the comments or better yet show us a photo of your pet relaxing!
Today is National Book Lovers Day. One of my favourite series is the Wheel of Time so I would get the hardcopy as soon as I could as each new book came out. This is me and Hal doing a re-read. It is also a nice size for a cat to sit on. Do you have a favourite book series? Do you enjoy reading with your pet? Let us know in the comments and share a picture of you reading with your pets.
August 8th is World Cat Day. And, though we believe that every day is Cat Day here with the Furryornot gang we won't pass up a chance to celebrate! We would love to see photos of your cats so please share so we can all enjoy how adorable they are.
Another example of why dogs are awesome. Do you play music for your dog? Clyde was not a fan of the clarinet…but I tried. (:
It's National Mutt Day so let's celebrate the wonderful Furryornot Gang members with some a mixed heritage. Share a photo of your beloved mutt in the comments along with what your dog’s mix is (or best guess). We love seeing the gang!
My beloved mutt was Clyde, my heart dog. I will love him forever! He was a German Shepherd, lab, and poofy mystery mix.
Perhaps some new reading companions for you and your family?
It's Pet Hydration Awareness Month so we have compiled some helpful information about how much your pet should drink, tips for getting your pet to drink more, and signs of dehydration. The amount your pet needs to drink depends on their size, diet, and activity level. Check out our latest blog post for more details and links to cool online tools to determine how much your pet needs to drink each day.
Our latest blog post is out and is all about hydration. July is National Pet Hydration Awareness Month. Did you know there is a calculator for dog water intake? And there is one for cats too! Check it out to learn more.
July is National Pet Hydration Awareness Month. How much water your dog needs will depend on their size, what they eat, and their activity level.

It's National Hot Dog Month in July and today is Hot Dog Day. Apparently people love hot dogs, as do I. Do you love hot dogs too? What condiments do you like with your hot dog? Have you ever dressed your dog up as a hot dog? Let us know in the comments!
ps: I am a mustard person. Ziggy would likely add peanut butter.
It’s National Kitten Day so here are a few tips if you are considering getting a kitten. Just like human babies and puppies kittens need some extra attention and care to grow into a happy and healthy adult cat. Most experts recommend creating a safe zone for your kitten with all the basics (their carrier, a bed, food and water, litter box, scratchers, etc). This is a place they can retreat to if scared or tired and use when you are out at work. Get food designed for the extra nutrition kittens need to grow. And kitten proof your home so that they can’t get hurt, chew on things, or get into any trouble when you are not supervising them. And consider adopting from a local cat rescue, they have lots of adorable kittens that need a home. If you have any kitten tips to share please leave them in the comments.

Foster needed for this adorable senior. Please share.
FOSTER NEEDED ASAP ❤️
Our darling senior Sunset is in need of a new foster family to help her decompress and complete her 30 day foster hold. Sunset is amazing with people and while we haven't dog tested her outside the shelter, we suspect she could live with a super chill male. No cats for this girl.
Sunset has showed some anxiety when left alone and we think it's just part of her experiencing so much change in the last week - we are looking for a foster who is home more often than not. Sunset can be a bit sensitive to loud noises and would be happiest in a quieter environment.
If you think Sunset would be a good match for you, please visit our website hugabull.com and fill out a foster application. Questions can be directed to [email protected] and will not be answered in the comments. Thank you!

You are invited!!! Our sweet boy, Kyle, has been with us now for 365 days. And while we adore him, a year in an animal shelter is just too long. So we're throwing him a "Pity Pawty" in hopes of getting more eyes on this gorgeous husky!
Join us on June 26th at 12:30pm when we take to Facebook live at the LAPS shelter to recognize Kyle and all the other animals here. There will be party favours, and party snacks and even games! So be sure to tune in at 12:30pm on Wednesday to help us celebrate Kyle and find him a much deserved forever home!
It’s officially summer and the hot weather can really take a toll on our pets. When it’s hot, please leave your pets at home while doing errands. It is always 10 degrees hotter in your vehicle than it is outside after just 10 minutes, and after 20 minutes can almost double. Parking in the shade and leaving the window open a crack is just not enough. Please also watch closely for signs of heat stroke.
Early signs of heatstroke in pet animals
Panting, this can progress to distressed or noisy breathing as the heatstroke worsens.
Restlessness or agitation, pacing, seeking shade or water.
Drooling.
Red gums or tongue.
Increased heart rate.
Vomiting or diarrhoea.
If you notice any of these symptoms please get your pet into a cool place and provide water. If it persists please see a veterinarian.
Check out our latest blog post for Adopt a Cat month, featuring some local cat rescues. And sorry for the 'purrlease', I can't help myself with the puns.
Adopting a cat is a great way to help these rescues, help the cats, and help ourselves.
If you have food you can donate please do! If you have some but can't make the drive out send me a message. If I can round up a few donations I can drop it off altogether.
LAPS is very short on cat food! We are asking for anyone who is able to donate wet and dry cat food to our food bank. It is very empty and we have already had to turn away three people today. 😢
If you have the time and resources, please drop the food items off at the shelter at 26220 56th Avenue. As usual, it is greatly appreciated to help us support the animals in our community! 💚🐾💚
In honour of Pet Appreciation Week, we wanted to have a Peanut Butter Cookie Day. We all know Ziggy loves his peanut butter, but it is a huge favourite of most of the Furryornot Gang. Here is an amazing, and easy homemade peanut butter dog cookie recipe your furry friend will love. 🥰
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cup hot water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, raise oven rack slightly above the middle of the oven.
Mix all ingredients together. Batter will be thick and sticky. (I use my stand mixer)
Grease 2 or 3 cookie sheets, and put a half cup of wheat flour into a small bowl to use in next steps.
Using flour on your hands if necessary, roll batter into 1" balls. Place 2" apart on cookie sheets.
Dip a fork into flour and push down on each ball twice to make an "x" and flatten each ball to 1.5" or 2" across.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Cookies will be hard.
Cool completely on wire rack and store in airtight container for up to two weeks.
You may wish to crush the cookies and make "sprinkles" out of them using a zipper storage bag and the flat side of a meat mallet; keep these in the fridge in a covered container for up to two weeks.
This will make 6 dozen 🍪 😊

It’s Garden Week.🤓
For a great dog friendly plant and natural shader, consider adding sunflowers to your yard or balcony. These are a beautiful and bright addition to your garden and also produce rich bird seed for our local bird population in the autumn. 🐕 🦜
Another great plant to consider for your furry felines is cat grass. Cat grass, is packed with antioxidants, chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that promote cat health, plus fiber to support digestion. They will love grazing and keep themselves occupied for hours. 🐈
And for a nostalgic and cost effective pollinator you can consider wildflower mixes. Bees prefer blue, purple, and yellow flowers, and sweet fragrances. They see ultraviolet colors – found on the flowers such as buttercups and black-eyed Susans. Golden currant, serviceberry, and chokecherry flower early in May and June and attract bumble bees and mason bees. 🐝
Happy Gardening.😊

It’s important to include your pets in any emergency plans you make for your household. They are totally dependent on you for their safety and well-being. June is Pet Preparedness Month and the American Red Cross has steps you can follow to make an emergency plan for your animals. CREATE A PET EMERGENCY PLAN Know a safe place to take your pets. Know which hotels and motels along your evacuation route will accept pets in an emergency. Call ahead for reservations if you know you may need to evacuate. Ask if no-pet policies could be waived in an emergency. PET EMERGENCY KIT Place the following items in a sturdy, easy-to-carry container: Sturdy leashes, harnesses and/or carriers to transport pets safely and ensure that they can’t escape. Food, drinking water, bowls, cat litter/pan and a manual can opener if your pet eats canned food. Medications and copies of medical records stored in a waterproof container. A first aid kit. Current photos of you with your pet(s) in case they get lost. Since many pets look alike, this will help to eliminate mistaken identity and confusion. Information on feeding schedules, medical conditions, behavior problems, and the name and number of your veterinarian in case you have to foster or board your pets. Pet beds and toys, if easily transportable.

Just like humans, dogs experience anxiety. While unpleasant, it is a normal and also healthy emotion. Dog anxiety can affect all breeds, but may affect each individual dog differently. Although it is something that all dogs experience from time to time, if disproportionate levels of anxiety are left unchecked, a dog can develop an anxiety disorder. If left untreated, dog anxiety can lead to behavioral and other issues. Here is a great article from the American Kennel Club with excellent tips on what causes pet anxiety, and the best ways to manage it. https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/treating-dog-anxiety/ ALT Text- this image shows a black and white pitbull pulling on his leash which is a common symptom of dog anxiety.
