As the holiday season approaches, it’s the perfect time for family gatherings, festive meals, and tasty treats! 🥧🍗 But let’s keep in mind that some of our favorite Thanksgiving foods can be harmful to our pets.

Sadie has main character energy, and we are loving it! 🐩 If you have a dog with long or wiry hair, getting regular trims can keep its coat shiny and healthy. Don't forget to brush him or her often as well to prevent mats from forming.
