🦎 Fun Fact Friday! 🌞

Did you know that bearded dragons wave their arms to communicate? 👋

These friendly reptiles use gentle arm waves to say things like “I’m not a threat” or to show submission, it’s their version of a polite hello! 🦎

But that’s not all! Bearded dragons can also:
🌡️ Change color slightly to help regulate body temperature
🍽️ Store fat in their tails for energy
😴 Sleep while standing on their hind legs!

They’re full of personality and make amazing companions when cared for properly. 💛

🦷 Did you know?
By age 3, most dogs and cats show signs of periodontal (gum) disease?! One of the most common yet preventable conditions we see in veterinary medicine.

Periodontal disease doesn’t just cause bad breath. It can lead to pain, tooth loss, and even affect the heart, liver, and kidneys if bacteria spread through the bloodstream.

🐶🐱 What you can do:
✅ Brush your pet’s teeth regularly
✅ Schedule annual dental checkups and cleanings
✅ Offer approved dental chews or diets
✅ Watch for signs like bad breath, drooling, or difficulty eating

Your pet’s smile deserves just as much care as your own! 🦷💙

🐾 How Pets Boost Our Mental Health

It’s no secret pets make our hearts happier and our minds healthier. 🐶🐱

From wagging tails to gentle purrs, our furry friends have an incredible ability to lift our spirits and ease our stress. Here’s how they help:

💚 Reduce stress & anxiety: Spending time with pets can lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and increase serotonin, our “feel-good” hormone!
💚 Combat loneliness: Pets offer unconditional love and companionship, helping us feel connected even on the hardest days.
💚 Encourage movement & routine: Walks, feeding times, and playtime keep us active and grounded.
💚 Boost mood & social connection: Pets spark joy and they often help us connect with others in the

Take a moment today to give your pet some extra love, they’re doing wonders for your mental health, too. 💚

🐾✨ Fun Fact Friday! ✨🐾

Did you know Dachshunds were originally bred in Germany to hunt badger?! Their long backs and short legs made them perfect for digging into burrows! 🦡

But that unique body shape also makes them more prone to back problems like intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). One simple way to help protect their spines? Use a harness instead of a collar on walks. Harnesses reduce strain on the neck and back, keeping those little long bodies healthier for longer.

So next time you clip on the leash, think harness = happier, healthier dachshund! 🐶

🚶‍♂️ It’s Walk Your Dog Week!

Daily walks aren’t just good exercise! They keep your dog’s heart, joints, and mind healthy. Plus, it’s a great way to bond (and burn off a little extra puppy energy!).

Tips for safe & happy walks:
✔ Use a sturdy leash and well fitted collar or harness
✔ Bring fresh water for longer strolls
✔ Watch for hot pavement or cold weather paw risks
✔ Keep vaccinations and parasite prevention up-to-date

We love our coffee just as much as you do but remember, caffeine is toxic to pets. Dogs and cats who sneak a sip of coffee, tea, or energy drinks can experience:
✔ Restlessness or pacing

Enjoy your coffee and keep tails wagging by keeping mugs out of paw’s reach! 🐾
