Retractable leashes may seem convenient, but they come with risks! 😱
⚠️ Potential dangers include:
❌ Lack of control – Sudden lunges can lead to injury
❌ Rope burn – The thin cord can cause serious cuts
❌ Snapback injuries – If the leash breaks, it can whip back dangerously
A standard 4-6 ft leash offers more control and safety for both you and your pet. Have questions? Ask us about leash training tips! 🐾

😟 Understanding Anxiety in Pets
Does your pet seem restless, hide during storms, or act out when left alone? Anxiety is common in dogs and cats, but it doesn’t have to rule their lives.

• Excessive barking, whining, or meowing
• Destructive behavior (chewing furniture, scratching)
• Hiding or trembling
• Changes in appetite

Solutions can range from environmental changes to calming supplements or medications. Our team can help create a plan that works for your pet.
