🎉🐾Happy National Slobber Appreciation Day🐶💦

Today we celebrate the sweet, slobbery moments our furry canine friends share with us! It is a day dedicated to spreading awareness to dog breeds that drool! 🐾

Did you know...?
🐾Drooling is a reflex, not a behavior so dogs can't help it
🐾Dogs may drool to help cool them down
🐾Excessive drooling can be a sign of heat stroke or underlying issue, so it's best to take precaution if you notice anything unusual

Share a photo of your pup in action, and let’s embrace the drool!

🎃Happy Howl-O-Ween from the BVC Family!🎃

Let’s make sure our furry friends are safe tonight! Be sure to keep an eye on decorations and any potential hazards like small objects they could swallow. And don’t forget to create a safe space for them away from the noise of trick-or-treaters.

Remember, chocolate and xylitol sweetened candies can be highly toxic to pets. Keep the ASPCA Poison Control number handy: 888-426-4435.

Wishing you a safe and spooktacular day!👻
