Feed them the way you love them.

It comes from the love in my dog's eyes.”

For the love of a dog❤️

Dearest dog guardians. Another collar tragedy has happened…2 young dogs let out to play with their collars on. Yes, horribly and sadly one of the dogs jaw hooked on the collar of the other and the girl dog passed away. She was only a year and a half old and the love of her family’s life. I beg you, please do not let your dogs out to play with their collars on. This Is not an isolated incident. I have heard this too many times. My deepest condolences to this heartbroken family.

POV…
While it may be very convenient to order food and supplements from the comfort of your home (even necessary at times), please consider supporting a small business first. Give the shop owner an opportunity to suggest a food or product that may be equally if not better suited to your pet’s needs. Please be patient. A small shop is not Amazon, Chewy or Walmart. It is a business built with blood, sweat and tears. A business that solely relies on local neighbors, such as yourself to simply survive. The more folks turn to the internet to shop, the less you will see of the mom and pop stores, until we vanish from sight. And to those who reliably support small businesses such as The Healthy Hound, you are so incredibly appreciated and valued. If you have been away from the store for awhile or joined that subscription online, I personally invite you back. You are missed. Let’s work together to keep the small business community strong.

For the love of dogs

I sometimes wonder why dogs are so good to us.
We don’t deserve it, not really. We’re flawed, selfish creatures, stumbling through life, yet there they are, offering us something pure, something real.
They love us without conditions, without asking for anything in return, just happy to be by our side. Maybe it’s because they see something in us we can’t see in ourselves, a goodness we’ve forgotten or buried under layers .
They don’t care about our mistakes, our shortcomings they just see the person who feeds them, who takes them for walks, who sits quietly beside them in the dark. And somehow, they make us better, just by being there. They remind us that there’s still something worth loving in this messy, chaotic world. Dogs don’t hold grudges, they don’t judge—they just give.
And maybe that’s the lesson we’re too blind to learn: that being good isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up, day after day, with a heart wide open, no matter how many times it gets bruised.

Dogs come into our lives,
choosing to accompany us
for a brief period during our
journey here on earth.
Throughout their time spent
by our sides, they bring
Immeasurable happiness,
demonstrate deep loyalty
and give unconditional love.
You are never lonely in their company
and their dedication knows no bounds.
They leave paw prints on our hearts,
a legacy of bright memories
And we are forever grateful
for having known them..

When your dog is your soulmate, it feels like they’ve seen the depths of who you are and decided to love you anyway, flaws and all. There’s no pretense with them. They don’t care if you’ve had a bad day, if you’re broken, or if you’re lost. They just stay. Not because they have to, but because, for some reason, their soul fits with yours in a way that makes everything feel a little lighter.

It’s not about them reading your mind or sensing your moods like it’s some magical connection. It’s more raw than that. It’s in the moments where you feel like you’ve got nothing left to give, and yet, somehow, they bring out the part of you that still cares. It’s in their eyes, how they look at you like you’re the only thing that matters. There’s no pretending with them—no need to put up walls or hold back emotions. With them, you’re exactly who you are, and that’s enough.

And it’s more than just love—it’s the way they make you see yourself differently, the way they pull you out of places you didn’t even know you were stuck in. The bond is stronger than anything life throws at you because it’s rooted in something so simple and pure. They don’t just support you—they remind you, in the most basic, honest way, that you’re worth being loved. And when the world feels cold or distant, they’re the one soul you can count on, no matter what.
