TDS Wellness Tip Of The Week!🦴🩺💛
A balanced diet is key to your dog’s health. 🐕

Things to consider:
🐾Age, Size, and Breed: Choose a formula tailored to your dog's age and size for balanced nutrition.
🐾Ingredients: Prioritize whole proteins like chicken, beef, or fish as the first ingredient, and avoid fillers like corn, soy, or wheat.
🐾Understand Your Dog’s Needs: For allergies or sensitivities, try limited-ingredient or grain-free diets, and consult your vet for guidance.
🐾Stay Hydrated with Wet or Dry Food: Wet food aids hydration, while dry kibble supports dental health—mixing them offers both benefits.

Always consult with your vet when making changes to your dog’s diet—they can provide the best guidance tailored to your pup’s unique needs! 🧡

For your dog's dietary needs check out your TDS retail selection at your next visit!

SEE THE CAPTION FOR HIS INCREDIBLE JOURNEY⬇️

"Hi. My name is Ernie. My family has a lot of names for me - Big Ern, Ernie the Bernie, and Ernest. Apparently, I was born with a detached retina in one eye...honestly...I have no idea what that means...All I remember is that I could only ever see out of my right eye.

After a year, I had developed glaucoma and the doctor said I had to get my eye removed. Which is good because all that eye was doing for me was causing me headaches and swelling! I didn't really like that. My mom and dad were so worried to send me into surgery not knowing how I felt, but I did my best to be brave for them. When it was all over my mom and dad were there to pick me up. I was so excited to see them I came bounding out of the doctors office toward them...they knew that they helped me and I was fine!

Turns out life is pretty much the same with one eye. Getting the zoomies in our local park in northern Seattle is the best. Going to dog parks with my friends is still my favorite. Peanut butter kongs are still spectacular. And being lazy on the couch with my parents is better than ever. Happy International Blind Dog Day!" 🦮 ❤️ 💛

At The Dog Stop®️, we believe that every dog should be welcomed regardless of breed, age, size and even if they have special needs such as blindness like Ernie. We’re dedicated to accommodating their unique requirements to ensure they have an fun and safe experience!!
