🐶🐱 Good oral health is essential for your furry friend's overall well-being!

To prevent dental problems and expensive surgeries, start taking care of their teeth at home. Brush their teeth daily with special toothpaste and consider using VOHC-approved dental products.

And don't forget about dental diet food to prevent plaque and tartar buildup!

It may seem counterintuitive, but teaching your dog to bark on command can actually help them learn to be quiet.

Speak up — Start by finding a trigger that makes your dog bark naturally. It could be a knock on the door, the doorbell ringing, or even someone saying “Speak.” When your dog barks, reward them with praise and a treat.

Quiet down — Once your dog understands the “Speak” command, introduce a cue for “Quiet,” such as “Enough” or a hand signal. Reward your dog with a treat when they stop barking after you give the cue.

Practice makes perfect — Practice the “Speak” and “Quiet” commands together until your dog can bark and then stop on command. This will help them understand when it’s appropriate to bark and when they should be quiet, giving you more control over their behavior.

🌿🐱 It's important to be aware of which plants can be harmful to your furry friends.

👀 Other common garden plants that can be harmful to pets include Nightshades, Datura, Poppy, Oleander, and Foxglove.

🚫 Protect your pets by preventing access to harmful plants and keeping them safe and healthy.

🐭🐾 Pet owners, be aware of the dangers of rodenticides!

🚫 These products are highly toxic to domestic animals and can cause internal bleeding in cats and dogs if ingested. Most rodenticides work by inhibiting the rodent’s ability to clot blood, but they can also harm pets.

👀 Look out for symptoms such as lethargy and pale gums and contact your veterinarian immediately if you suspect your pet has ingested rat or mouse poison.

💊 This situation is highly treatable if caught early, so be proactive to protect your furry friends.🙏
