Who is Bishop?! For those that have been greeted by him... who is Bishop and why is he always with me?!
Bishop is service trained to help me with tasks, here is one example of him helping out. There are many more things he is responsible for, and each day we work together to hone in on the skills even more.
Bishop also works with me when we teach pet cpr/first aid classes and is a favorite when we help with peer support with First Responders
He has a lot of jobs, but loves working. Typically shop time is rest time (as he snuggles in the small bed) 😊 You can follow more on Bishop on our Human & Animal Emergency Lifeline Preparedness page or Instagram.
What is H.E.L.P.? Here I explain what HELP is, see link in comments
If it's fall, it's pumpkin season! In addition to being a great fall decoration, pumpkin contains a lot of micronutrients and fiber which are good for your dog's digestion.
Add one to four tablespoons per meal to your dog's diet. If in doubt about quantity, start with less. Always consult with your veterinarian if you have questions.
As a certified Science Dog educator on canine nutrition, Kate can help you determine the best diet for your furry family member. Call today to schedule your one hour food consultation ($35).

Temperatures are heating up so it's more important than ever to make sure your pet always has access to fresh water.
Every time you reach for a cool drink yourself, get into the habit of checking the quality and quantity in your pet's water bowl, too.

Do you have an anxious dog?
New healing therapies are being used with a lot of success today and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy is one of them. Known as PEMF, it’s been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration to treat certain bone fractures, plantar facilities, edema, and arthritis in humans.
Our pets can benefit from PEMF, too, and now it’s available at Balanced Paws. This non-invasive, painless therapy can be used to treat osteoarthritis, speed wound healing, and treat anxiety. If you think your pet would benefit from PEMF, visit our website for more information or give us a call to schedule a session.

Temperatures are rising! Your dog might be more comfortable with a summer cut, but he likely doesn't need a close shave. Your dog's coat has a natural cooling system which acts like insulation against the heat as well as the cold. If you're in doubt, just ask us! We'll be happy to recommend the best haircut for your dog this time of year.
