😏OK..NOW WHAT? (your Q & A)
When Your Dog Locks Eyes. Here's What They’re Saying.

“What are they thinking, you wonder?” Dogs stare (as do we😲). Maybe you think you’ve got them all worked out. Well, just in case, here are 8 reasons behind those meaningful gazes. Mark off the ones you know:

• Your pup could be confused as dogs & humans communicate through nonverbal cues for better understanding, you may be doing something they haven’t noticed before.

• They may be seeking extra attention or interaction through their silent stares.

• Staring can be a loving gesture used by dogs to show affection towards you

• Is it walkies time. They may want something & are trying to understand your intentions.

• It could indicate curiosity, trying to read your body language or a playful mood.

• Are you eating? Your pup could be begging for food. This one’s hard to miss.

• If the stare appears aggressive, it's crucial to be mindful of body language & give your pup space. If this persists it is important to address the behavior & if necessary seek professional advice.

• Constant staring from an older dog could be a sign of Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome, requiring a vet check and investment in a mental enrichment routine.

Just about every gaze is a unique bonding communication between you & your loyal pup.

Scratching the Surface on Seasonal Dog Allergies.

With the changes of seasons you’re dog may start scratching more than usual. That could be seasonal allergies acting up.

Just like us, dogs can struggle with itchiness during season changes due to allergens like pollen & mold. But, there are ways to help your pup find relief.

From soothing shampoos & wipes to allergy shots & new medications, there are plenty of options to ease your dog's discomfort.

Keep an eye out for common allergy signs like excessive scratching, red skin, paw licking, and respiratory issues. It’s less common, but they can even get a runny nose..

If you suspect seasonal allergies, consider trying out home remedies like apple cider vinegar or coconut oil to provide some relief.

It's essential to address your dog's itching early on to prevent any further discomfort or skin infections. Don't let those allergies get your pup down & help them enjoy every season itch-free! 🌼

🧸Keeping Your Dog’s Toys Fresh & Safe.

Are your dog's toys starting to look grubby or a little worse for wear? Then it's time to give them a good clean to keep your pup safe & healthy.

Here are some quick tips to help you with this:

• Regular Cleaning in Hot Water: Ensure your dog's toys are free from germs & bacteria by washing them frequently.

• Types of Toys: Different toys require different cleaning methods. From plush toys to rubber chew toys, each material needs special care. Some can go in the washing machine, for others it’s the sink. When buying new toys it helps to make a note of the cleaning instructions or store the tags somewhere handy.

• Cleaning Tips: For sinks, hand washing with mild soap, using dog-safe detergents (subject to cleaning instructions). For washing machines match the material to the settings as you would with any clothing. Making a routine of this can help maintain a hygienic play environment.

• Safety First: Always check for any signs of damage on the toys & throw away any broken pieces to prevent accidents. Discard the toy altogether if it is cracked or worn to the extent that a piece could break off & be swallowed, or be a choking hazard.

By putting these simple practices into place, you can make sure your pup's playtime remains safe & enjoyable, keeping those tails wagging & those toys squeaky clean.

PAWSE TO REMEMBER

Household product safety: Read labels on household cleaning & other products to ensure they are safe for use around dogs & do a house member reminder chat to check that they are safely locked away, or well out of reach inside and outside your home.

🐶FACT or FLUFF??...Answer. FLUFF

Common, yes. Completely normal, no. Your dog will never have minty-fresh breath but it should not be unbearable & severe bad breath is an indicator of health issues so keep those teeth clean. Dental issues are one of the most overlooked problems dogs have.
