Interesting way to protect your dog or maybe your cat if you live in predator country. I just saw their Shark Tank presentation. What do you think?

Designed to Protect Are you concerned for the safety of your dog? It's a dangerous world where coyotes, aggressive dogs, and even birds of prey can injure or kill your small dog in the blink of an eye. We know because it happened to us, and that's why we developed our patented CoyoteVest. Its purpos...

Super 1x, short zoom class on dental issues and your pets!!! Register now! Small donation requested for this great organization! Birchbark helps get veterinary care for those who cannot afford it! And offers these wonderful educational zoom meetings, starting with 2022's first, mentioned here.

So, does your pet’s adoring shower of kisses each morning remind you that everything about her is just the sweetest? Everything, that is, but her breath?

Stinky pet breath may be the most obvious sign of dental disease, but your nose is not the only thing at risk. Maintaining your dog or cat's oral health is critical for their overall well-being and comfort.

I know this can be either a very joyful or a very challenging day today, depending on circumstances. Hoping that this brings some of the joy your way. And to really truly experience this season, perhaps check to see if a neighbor's pet could use a walk or a little extra attention? Or perhaps you have some time to volunteer at your local shelter or rescue or at their benefit shop? Doesn't have to be today, but something to consider for the near future? Meanwhile, enjoy this little video❤🐕🐾🐈💝

Hi there! My name is Rudolph. My nose may not be red, but it sure is shiny and wet! I was a stray in Monterey when the SPCA rescued me. I'm just a 3-month-old puppy, so you will need to teach me all about how to be a good Siberian Husky when I grow up. I can't wait to go home with you and tell you how much I love you. I might be little, but I have a big heart. I hope you can spend some time getting to know me today!
