Valley fever changes how they move.
Whether the disease attacks the lungs or the joints, it affects your dog’s mobility — and it’s even harder on dogs already struggling with mobility.

We’re hosting a free, expert-led event on July 13 to help. Learn how Valley Fever affects movement—and how to respond.

We are all sad to hear about the passing of K9 Raven of the Tucson Police Department and Tucson Police K9. We were honored to work with Raven to provide a custom cart for Raven after he was injured in the line of duty in October 2023. His drive and desire were on display every time we met. To watch him work in the cart with Sam was amazing. I can only imagine what a great team they were in the field. Run free, Raven.

The Fourth of July can be overwhelming for dogs, especially those with mobility challenges, anxiety, or sensory sensitivity.

This holiday, give your dog the gift of calm:
-Create a quiet, safe space indoors
-Skip the fireworks displays
-Stay close, offer comfort, and keep their routine steady

Celebrating THE HOLIDAY can still mean keeping things low-key, for their sake.

Dogs with mobility issues may not move toward their water bowl as often—or may struggle with positioning. Make hydration easy: keep fresh water nearby, elevate the bowl if needed, and monitor intake on hot days.

Small adjustments = big comfort.

Some timely information on Heat Stress in dogs from one of my favorite dog writers, Patricia McConnell, Ph.D.

I would be excited about lessons tomorrow with the GOAT sheepdog trainer/handler Scott Glen, but the fact is it’s so hot and humid I know that Skip will only be able to work for very short periods of time. Like just a few minutes. I also just a pulled him from a new trial I […]
