How to save money on dentals (and keep your pet healthier)
Lets’ talk about at-home dental care. We spent the first couple months of this year performing dentals done to get your pet’s mouth clean and get them back to square one.

Xylitol toxicity in dogs – a “natural” killer
Xylitol is a natural sugar substitute and it’s used in a lot of human products. The problem, though, is that this substance is extremely toxic to dogs. It became a big problem when we started finding it in substances like peanut butter because we use peanut butter all the time to give to dogs as a reward or to hide a pill. This is a great example of how a natural substance can be safe for humans, but is not always safe for our pets. So remember, just because it’s natural, doesn’t mean it’s safe.
