Follow instructions carefully and keep your pet away from fertilized areas to keep them happy and healthy!

Is your furry friend showing signs of fear, anxiety, or stress?
🐾 It’s important to understand the different ways in which dogs display their emotions. Besides the obvious signs like shaking or hiding, dogs may also use self-soothing motions, such as yawning or scratching, to alleviate nervous energy. They may also exhibit displacement behaviors like sniffing or running in circles.
Anxious or fearful dog traits include wide eyes, ears back, avoiding eye contact, trembling, and even a frantically wagging tail. Stay tuned for more tips on how to help your anxious dog.
