“The guard dog was incorruptible; the police dog dependable; the messenger dog reliable. The human watchman might be bought, not so the dog. The soldier sentinel might fall asleep, never the dog. The battlefield runner might fail … but not the dog, to his last breath, would follow the line of duty.”

Despite the cartoons, cats are in fact lactose intolerant. Though some can handle a lick of cream, it’s best to avoid letting them get into your coffee or ice cream or any of the sort to avoid gastrointestinal distress. A greenie is a great alternative and they even come in catnip!

You’d be surprised how they get into some of these things! Always a good idea to keep medications and snacks in high or locked cupboards or cabinets so our especially sneaky and clever dogs don’t get ahold of them. And of course, locked sheds or bins for your fertilizers and rodenticides. Just in case!

Sneak peak for March’s Poison Awareness Month!
Xylitol is also often found in peanut butters so remember to check the ingredients to keep your furry friends safe!

As independent as cat’s can be, they do really love their humans! A little extra atention and the right toys can help with behavior and bring you closer together.

Bonus: You can use a soft toothbrush for your pups, but those are often too big for your cat. Instead! There are these little finger tooth brushes that work much better for cats and small dogs! You can find them in the same place as dog tooth brushes 🙂
And Greenies are always fun!

Along with the onligatory no-chocolate reminder, these can be pretty dangerous too! Let’s stick to treats during prep- little bits of carrots or green beans. Maybe save an extra special bit of chicken to boil, unseasoned, for your best buddy for a holiday treat!

Very exciting news!

, Here’s some news that will make even the Grinch’s heart grow bigger! SF based Loyal, a canine longevity startup, has been given approval to procced to large clinical trial with a prescription drug that could extend the lifespan of large breed dogs. Based on early studies, the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine has found a reasonable expectation of effectiveness for the drug, codenamed LOY-001. And we LOYVE it! While the results and final FDA approval are years off, this is something to bark about. We’ll keep you posted as progresses through the process. For now, let’s hear it for the big dogs and remember to love up our pups of all sizes!
