Exercise isn't one-size-fits-all for dogs! 🏃🐾 While puppies are bursting with energy and curiosity, senior dogs often prefer a more relaxed pace, enjoying calm walks and cozy naps.

While all dogs need daily exercise throughout their lives, understanding these differences helps tailor your dog's activities to their individual health needs.

☀️Hello sunshine!

If you're feeling the heat, your pets sure are, too! Provide shade and water and limit outdoor time during peak heat.

Never leave your pet alone in a parked car (even with the windows partially open). Avoid walking them when the sun is at its brightest; early mornings or evenings are best!

Thank you to our Hambright families that joined us this week to remember and celebrate the lives of our four-legged companions who have passed within the year. We understand this time of year can be difficult and are honored to join with you and others who may be feeling the same.

If you sent in your photo but could not attend the event, here is our slideshow for your viewing.

"...Your cuddles were always the best
But now you reached a state of eternal rest
Not having you around anymore
Will definitely leave a scar
And I don’t know where you are
But I will forever love you from afar"

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
