Woof woof! With the holidays right around the corner, it's more important than ever to think big, shop small, and support local!

When you shop at a small local business, you are supporting your own community, and that's the coolest thing ever, if I do say so myself!

And if you're only kinda local, you can still shop online with confidence - we've got alternate shipping solutions in place, and your orders will be packaged and delivered with the same amount of care you know and love from us here at Bob the Dog!

Hello from Bob's Ma! Bob said it was okay that I handled today's post and shared a story with you... he's such a good boy...

Overall, Bob is a super chill dog - but the one thing that takes him down is fireworks... and as you know, we are quickly moving into the season with LOTS of those.

Back in 2018, we were introduced to CBD as a possible solution to help Bob through Halloween, so we decided to give it a try. We started him on it about a week before the big day, as it needs a bit of time to build in the system.

I'll be honest - in the first few days, I didn't notice much of a difference and I was a little disappointed. But after maybe 4-5 days, I noticed his reaction was changing to the whistles and pops. He seemed... less bothered.

By the time we got to Halloween proper and things really got crazy, he was still sitting with us in the living room - looking worried and keeping close, but not shaking, panting or trying to burrow into the deepest darkest depths of my closet. Unbelievable and a major success in our books. We were thrilled.

For the next couple of years, we mainly used it around Halloween and New Year's and were always happy with the results.

Once he turned 6 (I don't know why that was the magic number for me) I decided to start using it every day. I wanted to get ahead of any problems that come with a bit bigger of a dog as they get older, mainly around arthritis and mobility. Because CBD helps both things - it calms the central nervous system (anxiety) and reduces inflammation in the body (arthritis).

Bob turned 10 this year (what??) and recently I've seen him jump on tables (bad dog!), hop a fence to get a raccoon (really bad dog!) and race around like your basic hooligan (good boy!). When people meet him, they comment on how fantastic he looks and are shocked at his age. I say he got it from his mama... 🥰

And this is why I don't get to post very often - Bob says I go on too long and that I'm too cheeky... 😉

Bottom line is that if you've got a pup who's sensitive to the upcoming festivities, we really can't recommend CBD enough.

If you've got questions, we're happy to help!
