Car safety features are designed for humans, not animals, so there's a real risk for dogs to get serious injuries without the proper protection. Using a dog harness can help to minimize force along the neck in the event of a sudden change of speed. Keeping your dog safely harnessed also prevents them from possibly causing an accident if they get curious and distract you while driving. Always attach on the dog's body.

13 Dogs Who Can't Resist Digging in the Mud If there's one thing dogs love more than treats or a good snuggle session, it's making a mess.

Keep those pets safe!

It’s foxtail season!
These dangerous weeds when dried out can embed within your pets coat, skin, ear canals, gums, nose, and eyes with their barb like cluster of spikes. This could lead to abscesses, infections, and even potentially death as they work their way through the soft tissue of your pets.
Always brush your pets coat out thoroughly to remove any foxtails that are stuck in the fur. Check in between the webbing of their toes, armpits, chest, and stomach. Inspect your backyard for any foxtails and remove them.
If you suspect your pet has an embedded foxtail seek veterinarian care for removal.
