If you're looking for the best chew toys for dogs, consider nylon, hard rubber, or consult a veterinarian for additional guidance.

Nylon is one of the most popular materials for chew toys because it's durable and tough on your dog's teeth. It's also easy to clean!

Hard rubber is another great option for chew toys because it provides a good texture that helps to keep your dog's teeth clean by scraping away plaque and tartar buildup.

If you can't find any chew toys made from either of these materials at your local pet store or online, it might be time to visit a veterinarian. They can help you figure out what your dog likes best when it comes to chewing habits so that you can buy them something they'll love (and actually use)!

Did you know that puppies and kittens are also great for your mental health? A study found that just looking at pictures of puppies or kittens can help reduce stress levels by up to 68%. So if you need a pick me up today, get a little endorphin boost with this cute picture of a puppy!

Did you know that not all chew toys are safe for dogs? It's true!

Here's what you need to know:

1. Chew toys made of soft material—like rubber, foam, or plastic—can cause a dog's teeth to become brittle and break.

2. Fiberfill stuffing is a choking hazard, as it can get stuck in your dog's throat or intestines.

3. Batteries can cause burns if they come in contact with your dog's mouth or gums.

4. Squeaker toys can have sharp edges or small parts that can become lodged in your dog's throat or intestines if ingested.

5. Metal chews can cause internal damage if chewed on long enough (this includes bones).

6. String toys can get tangled around your dog's paws or neck and lead to injury if not monitored closely during playtime (you should always supervise your pup when he's playing with these kinds of toys!).

7. Rope toys can be dangerous because they can easily become wrapped around your dog's neck as it runs around the yard playing fetch with you—this could lead to strangulation if left unchecked

You might be looking for some new years resolutions to help your furry friends!

If so, here are some tips for all of you looking to start off the year with a fresh attitude and renewed passion for pet ownership.

1. Ensure all your pets are up-to-date on their vaccinations.

2. Get your pet spayed or neutered; it will make them more content and less likely to spray indoors or run away.

3. Don't forget about their dental care! Brush your pet's teeth once or twice a week with a soft-bristled toothbrush (for cats and kittens) or finger toothbrush (for dogs).

We know that chewing is a natural behavior for dogs. It helps them exercise their gums, can relieve stress, and is just plain fun!

But did you know that chewing on something too hard for your dog to chew on can be really harmful?

If you've ever bought a chew toy for your pup, you probably noticed that there are a few different categories of toys. Some are soft, some are hard, and some are somewhere in between. You might have also noticed that the packages usually tell you what type of chew toy they are: "Soft," "Medium," or "Hard."

What does this mean? Well, it's pretty simple: the harder something is, the more likely it is to chip teeth and injure your dog's mouth. And if you're buying a toy specifically for teething puppies (like puppies who aren't quite old enough to have adult teeth), then you'll want to stick with soft or medium-hard toys.

Dried animal parts can also cause pets problems when chewed. Deer antlers, pig ears, and cow hooves can splinter and injure pets’ mouths. Pig ears have also been associated with Salmonella outbreaks. Save your pet from injury, and look for other options.

Did you know there’s a formula to calculate how much food your pet should eat? 🐾

Use this simple equation to determine how many calories your pet needs*:

● Divide your pet’s weight (in pounds) by 2.2.
● Multiply this number by 30.
● Add 70!

For example, you’ll find a 10-pound pet needs just over 200 calories per day.

This formula works similarly for dogs and cats. Share this with your fellow pet parents to spread the word!

*Consult with a Veterinarian for alternate dietary recommendations.

What motivates your pet more: food or attention?

Pets are family. As they grow older, it’s important to give them even more love and care (& healthy treats!).

But what happens when they get sick? The American Veterinary Medical Association found that about half of dogs over 10 years old will likely develop cancer.

If this happens, some treatments can be prescribed based on your pet’s needs, intensity, and stage of their condition.

By knowing the signs now, you can help protect them in the future. If you missed them, check out our recent social media posts to learn common signs of cancer and what you can do.

Pro pet parent tip: When giving your fur friend some much-deserved belly rubs, check for any lumps, sores, or scabs.

While it may sound scary, knowing the signs of cancer can help you catch problems early and give your pet the best care possible.

Not all bumps indicate cancer — allergies, cysts, and even benign tumors can pop up. But with our help, you can find peace and make a plan to ensure your pet is taken care of.

We all know the adage "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" and we're here to tell you that this is far from true! When you first got your pet, you more than likely spent a lot of time training them and teaching them basic commands. Now that your pet is older, training might be far from the first thing on your mind. Pets, particularly dogs, are happier when they are mentally and physically active! One-on-one training provides exactly that in addition to getting the attention they may be craving. Specifically when using positive reinforcement methods! Positive reinforcement is when rewards come when you do something correctly, even though you may not know what you’re supposed to do. No punishments are ever handed out. There are many benefits of using positive reinforcement training methods for pets, including: ❤️ Reduction in fear and stress of pets 🧡 A strengthened bond between pet and owner 💛 Faster learning of new behaviors 💚 Ability to teach unnatural behaviors 💙 Ability to teach complex behaviors 💜 Children can safely use this method (training involving punishment can be dangerous)

Petting, scratching, and cuddling your pet could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep as mediation! Today is #nationalcuddleupday ! Share your cuddly photos with us! 🥰

Have you ever noticed your pup's nose turn from its usual dark color to more of a pink or brown color? Guess what that's called!? Snow nose! aka Winter Nose ❄️ Snow nose most commonly affects Siberian Huskies, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and Bernese Mountain Dogs. This condition is completely cosmetic! However, if your dog's nose gets smoother and smoother or raw with sores, you should definitely make a veterinary appointment.

The thought of holiday food makes our mouths water! Yours too? Guess what? Your pet's mouth is watering, as well! As tempting as it may be to share your amazing spread with your pets--beware of the following foods that are particularly dangerous for your fur-babies! ❗Chocolate ❗Pumpkin Pie ❗Corn Cobs ❗Gravy ❗Turkey Bones

💛 Did you know that owning a pet improves your cardiovascular health? 💛 The CDC and NIH found that pet owners display decreased blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, which can all minimize their risk of a heart attack. 💛 Furthermore, those who have already experienced a heart attack tend to have better recovery rates if they own a dog or a cat!

1 in 4 dogs will develop cancer in their lifetime. 50% of dogs over the age of 10 will develop cancer. Those are some staggering statistics! The best thing you can do for your pet is to keep them healthy and recognize the warning signs of cancer: ❗️ Unusual or fast-growing lumps or bumps ❗️ Unresolved vomiting or diarrhea ❗️ Unexplained or unresolved pain or limping ❗️ Unexplained bleeding or discharge from the nose or in urine or stool ❗️ Difficulty performing basic functions like eating, drinking, swallowing, breathing, urinating, or defecating. ❗️ Foul mouth odor ❗️ Swollen lymph nodes ❗️ Sores that do not resolve or heal ❗️ Weight loss or loss of appetite ❗️ Lethargic with no interest in usual activities Although all of these symptoms can be linked with a variety of other conditions, they can all be linked to various cancerous conditions in your pet and should be examined.

Don't forget about preventatives! Your indoor cat still needs flea and tick prevention, even if your dog is on it! Your dog ventures out into the wilderness and is naturally at a higher risk for attracting fleas and ticks. But, even your indoor pets can host these parasites! You and your dog can easily carry home fleas and ticks that will go looking for another suitable host and potentially find a nice home on your indoor cat! To keep everyone safe, administer year-round flea and tick prevention to each pet.

How often do you think you *should* bathe your dog vs. how often are you *actually* bathing your dog? The answer to this question is not as straightforward as you'd think! Here are some things to consider: 1. 🧼 Coat Type: Believe it or not, hairless dog breeds are quite care-intensive and may require weekly baths! On the other side, long-coated breeds may need bathing weekly to every 4-6 weeks depending on how well their coat is cared for in between bathing. Be careful not to over bathe, however. Overbathing can strip natural oils from the skin. 2. 🧼 Health: If your pup suffers from certain health conditions, your groomer or veterinarian may recommend medicated shampoo for your dog. For healthy pets, a grooming regimen is still important to maintain healthy skin and a healthy coat! Thorough coat brushing and combing and conditioning are integral to your dog's health, as well! 3. 🧼 Lifestyle: If your pup has an active lifestyle playing in oceans, lakes, hunting in muddy waters, etc, more baths may be required--regardless of breed.

An estimated 1 in 300 adult dogs and 1 in 230 cats in the US have diabetes 😩. Pets with diabetes cannot produce or utilize insulin properly, preventing the conversion of food to energy.

If you've ever wondered what sets dogs and cats apart, look no further. I know you're likely well aware of the glaring differences between dogs and cats. But both of them can very easily contribute positively to your family unit. Individually or even together! Did you know? Cats & dogs can both be trained! Yep, it's true. Cats can be trained just like dogs can with a bit of patience and positive reinforcement. Cats and dogs both need love and care. Alright, maybe you already knew that. But, cats are often considered easier to look after because they are much more independent and need much less input from their owners. However, cats still need lots of love, care, and affection. Just like dogs! Lastly, cats and dogs can both be a part of the family. Despite their differences, they can live happily with each other in your home given they've been given a proper introduction. Let us know how accurate is this video when it comes to the personality of your dog and/or cat!
