Hippocrates, the father of medicine, is quoted as saying, “bad digestion is at the root of all evil” and “death sits in the bowels.” What Hippocrates likely meant was that the GI tract, or “gut”, is responsible for much more than digesting food; it plays a vital role in creating and sustaining health.

Yay! Summer! We might love the warm temperatures, but keep in mind that the ground may be much hotter than the air! This can seriously hurt our fur-babies feet.

Tips on Paw Protection:
*walk your pup on grass or in meadow areas.
*walk early in the morning or later in the evening, when sidewalks have cooled.
*you can check ground temp with touch for 7 seconds, if its to hot for you, it's definitely too hot for them.
*get doggie footwear, we carry an assortment of sizes, and it prevents goatheads and other sharp debris from entering your doggies paws.
*get a doggie stroller, provides shade and easy transport to cooler places to play.
