We know how happy our dogs make us…it’s important to make sure we keep them happy and smiling too! We’ve compiled a few simple ways that you can boost your dog’s happiness.
One way is to rotate the toys. Keep 3/4 of the toys stashed away in a closet so each week you can pull out some new toys and put the ones your pup has been using back in the hiding spot. Variety is the spice of life, you like trying new restaurants, and your dog likes having some different toys to play with each week.
Another great way is to mix it up on your daily walk. There are so many great spots to walk throughout Phoenix and Arcadia that it can be very easy to mix up your walk, go the opposite way that you normally do, or even drive to a little different neighborhood. All the new smells and scenery can really stimulate your dog and make them happy.
There’s some more tips like these here. Enjoy and keep on smiling!

DOGS NEED SUNSCREEN TOO!
HAVE FUN IN THE SUN WITH YOUR BEST BUDDY THIS SUMMER!
Dogs, especially those with short or white fur, can get sunburn and skin cancer just like you can. Close those shades if your dog is home alone all day, and apply sunscreen to sensitive areas, such as the thin skin on the ears.
** For a terrific Sunscreen for Fido, check out: www.vkrpets.com and www.Pawposse.com:)

Is Your Dog Itchy?
4 Simple Things You Can Do to Help Your Dog’s Itchy-Scratching:
1) Only feed your dog food that contains ingredients that help to promote healthy skin: *avocado,* flax-seed, & *Fish-Oil.
2). Give your Dog frequent baths with a shampoo that promotes healthy skin/coat. Bathing with the right shampoo will help to reduce the pollen and dust that your dog gets in his fur, and will help to soothe his skin at the same time.
3). Give your Dog a Fish Oil Supplement daily
4). When you have done all 3 of the above, and your Poor Pooch keeps on scratching, use Benadryl (the human kind): 1-2mg/lb. of your dog’s body weight.
