When it comes to giving your dog medication, it can sometimes be a challenge. Here are some tips to make the process easier:

💊 Pill Pockets: Use commercial pill pockets or make your own by wrapping the pill in a small amount of soft cheese, peanut butter, or canned dog food. This disguises the taste and smell of the pill, making it more enticing for your dog.

💊 Hide in Food: Place the pill inside a small piece of your dog's favorite food, such as a meatball, piece of cheese, or slice of banana. Be sure to give them additional pieces without pills to avoid suspicion.

💊 Crush and Mix: Crush the pill into a powder and mix it with a small amount of wet food or broth. This method works well for dogs who are picky eaters or have difficulty swallowing pills whole.

With the weather that we've been having it's important to have a plan in place for if we are met with severe weather. 🐾 🌪️

Preparing your pet for severe weather is crucial to ensure their safety and well-being. Start by creating an emergency kit with essentials like food, water, medications, and comfort items. Identify a safe haven in your home away from windows where your pet can take shelter during storms.

Keep your pet's identification updated with current ID tags and microchip information. Practice evacuation drills to familiarize your pet with carriers and evacuation routes. Stay informed by monitoring weather forecasts and alerts for any severe weather events in your area.

Let's work together to keep our furry friends safe and prepared! 🐶💨
