You and your dog can both enjoy national blueberry month. Blueberries contain powerful antioxidants and vitamins that can benefit you both.

Swim a Lap Day is good for you and your dog’s health. And, it’s a fun day, too!
Summer has arrived. It’s time to enjoy all that summer has to offer, including plenty of time in and around the pool. What better way to enjoy the early days of summer, than by taking a lap or two (or three) around the pool.
It’s likely to be sunny and hot today. Find a few friends and swim a couple laps in the pool. Then, let the pool party begin!

A simple fun treat for you and your dog are frozen banana slices. All you need to do is place parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Cut 1 medium banana into 1/4 inch slices. Place slices on cookie sheet.
Put the cookie sheet in freezer for 2 to 3 hours. I like to place a small dollop of peanut butter on top and sever to the furkids. Yeah and one for me.

Ice Cream, you scream we all bark or meow for ice cream! Lets face it we like to think our furkids deserve the saI lean more towards no.me treats we give ourselves. Many online articles say that a lick or to is just fine, but not a whole bowl of their own.
Many dogs and cats are lactose intolerant and that small ice cream cup can be big potty trouble later. If you most share (because those sad eyes are to irresistible), for the first time give them a small scoop and see how they react. Also be...

One of our favorite Facebook pages is The Rolling Dog Project. Founded by Jerry West in 2010. The Rolling Dog Project’s goal is to provide people who cannot afford a wheelchair for their disabled pets one free of charge.
He started building them after when one of his dogs became paralyzed from cancer. Mr. West will also help you with advice and information to build your own cart (Building a Wheelchair).
He refuse to accept payment from dog owners but he will accept donations from non- recipients, of gift cards to the stores he buys his building supplies from, like Home Depot gift cards. Click here to send Donatations

Who doesn’t love getting a hug? Well maybe your cat, instead of putting kitty in an uncomfortable snuggle consider other ways to interact with her and show her some appreciation on Hug Your Cat Day! Show kitty some love by brushing and petting her. Many cats love to be brushed and a good scratch on the back near the tail or under the chin are often favorite spots. Wand toys with feathers, cat nip, etc. can be entertaining for both of you. Some cats even like to play fetch with a favorite toy.
If you kitty loves a good cuddle, go for it...

Spring is all about making a fresh start. Rituals to clear out the old and make room for the new as winter weather fades away. It’s important to recognize the potential toxic effects household cleaning products may have on our pets.
Our cats, dogs and other companion animals live in a shared environment with us and are exposed toxic substances we use inside and outside our homes. Residues from cleaning products can end up in their skin, coat, eyes, nose, and throat.
Ingestion of or contact with cleaning products can cause a variety of clinical signs in pets, including:
Sneezing
Coughing
Nasal and ocular (eye) discharge
Ptyalism (salivation)
Emesis (vomiting)
Diarrhea
Anorexia...

I am sure that you have read on the internet that ice water can cause bloating or stomach spasms in your dog. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.
According to Dr. Tina Wismer, medical director at the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center, the information is false.
“This is not true,” said Dr. Wismer. “Dogs do not bloat from drinking ice water on hot days… They can be given as treats or put in the water bowl. Some behaviorists even recommend freezing toys or treats in ice for dogs to chew on.”
Bloat is most commonly seen in deep-chested large-breed dogs, Wismer...

If you participated in yesterday’s No Sock Day, you might need to also celebrate Lost Sock Memorial Day.
The day recognizes your drawer full of unmatched socks. Each unmatched sock represents a missing sock. We never throw away our unmatched socks. After all, it may show up someday.
On Lost Sock Memorial Day, we suggest you spend a little time (as little as possible) searching for those missing socks. Then, by all means, get on with your life.
We encourage you to use this special day, to face the fact those sock are gone forever, and recycle the unmatched one as a pet...
