A healthy mouth is a huge part of your pet's overall health, and caring for their teeth is one of the best things you can do for their long-term well-being. A consistent dental care routine can help prevent painful issues like gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.
Here are three ways to care for your pet's oral hygiene:
🪥🦷 Dental Chews: High-quality dental chews can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup as your pet chews. They're a fun and easy way to keep their teeth clean between brushings.
🪥🦷 Dental Supplements: Adding a water additive or a powder supplement to their food can help fight bacteria and freshen their breath from the inside out.
🪥🦷 Professional Care: Our groomers can book your pet for a professional teeth brushing, which can make a huge difference in their overall oral hygiene.
By making dental care a priority, you're not just giving them a fresh smile—you're supporting their total health!

It's Pet Wellness Month! 🐾 A healthy diet is the cornerstone of your pet's well-being, and providing them with a species-appropriate diet, like raw food, can make all the difference. Raw food and healthy treats are a great way to ensure your pet is getting the ancestral nutrition their body is designed for.
Here are three health benefits of a raw food diet:
🦴 Improved Digestion: Raw food contains natural enzymes that help your pet's digestive system work more efficiently, leading to better nutrient absorption.
🦴 Healthier Skin and Coat: The rich, natural nutrients in raw food can lead to a shinier coat, healthier skin, and a reduction in chronic skin issues.
🦴 Stronger Immune System: A healthy gut and a nutrient-dense diet can strengthen your pet's immune system, helping them better fight off illness and disease.
If you're interested in learning more about raw food, talk to our team! We can help you find the right products to give your pet the best nutrition possible."

October 8th is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day. Pet obesity is a growing concern that can lead to many health issues, but getting your pet on track is simple!
Here are three key things to focus on to help your furry friend maintain a healthy weight:
🌟 Portion Control: Follow the feeding guidelines on your pet's food bag, or ask your vet for a recommendation. Overfeeding is the most common cause of weight gain.
🌟 Healthy Snacks: Treats should make up no more than 10% of your pet's daily calorie intake. Choose high-quality, low-calorie treats to reward them.

🌟 Regular Exercise: Make sure your pet is getting enough daily activity. This could be a walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or a fun new puzzle toy to keep them moving.
If you have questions about your pet's weight, don't hesitate to ask our team for advice. We can help you find the right food and treats to keep them happy and healthy! 🐾

Ready to get outside? 🍂 It's National Walk Your Dog Week, and we're celebrating by taking advantage of these beautiful autumn days with our best friends! Getting out and exploring is a great way to bond with your pup, and we want to help you make sure you're prepared.
Here are a few best practices for a great walk:
Hydration is key: Always bring a portable water bottle and a travel bowl for your pup, especially on longer walks.
Safety first: Double-check that their harness and leash are secure, and bring a small first-aid kit for any unexpected scrapes.
Be prepared for anything: Always have a few extra p**p bags on hand—you never know when you'll need them!
The right gear: Bring a jacket for yourself and a sweater for your short-haired pup for those chilly autumn mornings.
