💖🐾 Valentine's Day Dog Safety Tips 🐾💖

While you’re celebrating with chocolates and flowers, keep your pup’s safety in mind! 🌹🍫

❌ Chocolate is toxic to dogs and can lead to serious health issues. Make sure to keep those sweet treats out of reach! ❌ Certain flowers like lilies, tulips, and daffodils can be harmful to dogs. Stick to pet-safe plants for your Valentine’s Day decor. 🌸

Let’s keep our pups safe while we show them all the love they deserve this Valentine’s Day! At Bark Avenue, we’re committed to your pup's safety with Dog Safety & Positive Reinforcement Training. All of our staff are dog CPR and First Aid certified, and positive reinforcement is the only training method we use
