Keeping Your Pets Safe During the Holidays: Food Issues

Holidays are filled with excitement and interesting smells for our pets, but it is up to us to make sure the fun doesn’t turn into danger. For example, things that are yummy to us, like chocolate, grapes/raisins,and avocado, can make our pets sick or worse.

The ASPCA has put together a handy list of foods to avoid: ASPCA: People Foods to Avoid Feeding Your Pets.

Oh. and keep a close eye on your guests - adults and kids may “feel bad” for your pet and slip them a little treat, not knowing the damage they could cause!

Keeping Your Pets Safe During the Holidays: Thanksgiving

Bailey Turned 10 Years Old!

Several years ago, when we were just figuring out just how sick the pupster is, we weren’t sure we’d ever reach this milestone. But, thanks to a team of experts that include her amazing vet and dedicated dog walkers, here she is, letting me know that 1 hour of pool fun was not long enough and that as Birthday Girl what she says goes…

Bailey loves her pool time!

Bailey loves her pool time!

New Jersey is one of 11 states that have designated March 13 as K9 Veterans Day.

About 80 people and more than a dozen dogs attended Bergen County’s first-ever K9 Veterans Day to honor the dogs and their handlers. What a great idea!

February is Responsible Pet Owners Month!

Get tips and info about Responsible Pet Owners Month:How to Participate in Responsible Pet Owner Month Another thing to consider - tracking your dog’s health! If your pet is healthy, documenting what’s normal will help you and your vet clearly identify when things take a bad turn. If your dog has health issues, tracking will help you better manage his/her care! Check out for an easy, online tracking tool that you can use from your browser, Android, or iOS device (iPad, iPhone, etc.). Oh, and did I mention that it’s free?

Don't forget, February Is National Pet Dental Health Month!

For us, the winning combo was a flavored dog toothpaste that Bailey loves (don’t use human toothpaste, it’s not safe for pets!), and the finger toothbrush (see below).

This is our fav!

These are handy too!
