🐶🎉 Today the team at Healthy Pets of Houk Road is celebrating National Mutt Day! Mixed-breed dogs, or mutts, bring so much joy, love, and uniqueness into our lives, and today is all about celebrating them!

Here are just a few paw-some reasons to fall in love with mutts and mixed-breed dogs: 🐾💖

✨ 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆: Mutts tend to live longer, with many reaching 18-20 years of age!
✨ 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀: No two mutts are alike! They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, making each one truly special.
✨ 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Mutts are typically more affordable to adopt and make wonderful, loyal companions.

Did you know that the holiday season can lead to weight gain for our furry friends? 🐶🐱

Us humans may not be the only ones at risk of putting on a little holiday weight! With all the treats and delicious meals, it’s easy for pets to indulge a little too much! 🍗🎁

To help your pets stay healthy and active, here are some fun ideas:

𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲: Engage in interactive play with toys or games that keep them moving. Tug-of-war and fetch are great ways to burn off energy! 🐾
𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀: Make it a family affair and take your pet on a daily walk. Exploring new paths or parks can be exciting for both of you! 🚶‍♂️🌳
𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀: Consider enrolling in a training or agility class for some structured fun and exercise! 🐾💪
𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀: Be mindful of holiday treats and stick to pet-safe snacks in moderation. Ask us for some healthy alternatives! 🍎
