Friday Book Feature 📚🐾 Nabi’s Way Home i

Friday Book Feature 📚🐾

Nabi’s Way Home is a heartwarming story about a brave young pup from Jordan who had to endure many hardships and overcome many obstacles. 🐕

The book recounts Nabi’s emotional journey growing up alone on the streets of Amman before finding her forever home in Toronto.
🇯🇴✈️🇨🇦

Along the way, you’ll fall in love with her quirky personality and see the incredible impact she’s had on her family and community. 💜

At its core, this story is about resilience, hope, and finding the light—even in the darkest moments—all through the eyes of a one-eyed dog with a miraculous journey. 🐶✨

Find Nabi’s Way Home on Amazon or at your local bookstore.

As dogs age, their grooming needs change. Senior p

As dogs age, their grooming needs change. Senior pups often need extra time, gentler handling, and more frequent appointments to stay comfortable and healthy.

🐶 What you can do:

✔️ Be patient and follow your groomer’s guidance—they know how to make the experience safe and stress-free.

✔️ Expect longer or assisted sessions, especially if your pup has mobility issues.

✔️ Keep up with a regular grooming schedule to manage age-related issues like increased shedding, skin dryness, tear stains, or urinary leaks.

Your senior dog deserves a little extra TLC—and staying on top of grooming helps them feel their best! 💜

Tip by Tanya, professional groomer and owner of @poochesnpals (Mississauga) and @thedoghouseinoakville (Oakville). Book your appointment today - your pooch is in great hands! 🐕🐩🐾✂️

Have you ever felt like your cat was trying to tell you something—but you just couldn’t figure out what? 🤔🐈🐈‍⬛

You’re not alone! Many cat parents wish their feline friends could talk, especially when something feels off.

Cats communicate through body language, vocalizations, and behaviour—you just have to know what to look for. 👀🐱

Dive into our latest blog to learn how to spot signs of happiness, sadness, anxiety, overstimulation, and fear—and how to respond in each situation. ✅🐾

Ever wonder why your dog’s digestion matters so

Ever wonder why your dog’s digestion matters so much - even when they seem perfectly fine? 🤔💭

Gut health is about more than just avoiding tummy troubles—it’s the foundation for your dog’s energy, immunity, and long-term vitality. 🐕🐩🐾

One simple way to support their gut? Supplements. But choosing the right one can be confusing.
Should you go with probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes… or all three?

In our latest blog, we break down what each of these natural ingredients are, and how they work together to help your pup thrive from the inside out. ✅

☀️Muchacho’s story begins under the warm sun

☀️Muchacho’s story begins under the warm sun of Cabo, where he was rescued by Acre Animal Rescue. Despite his rocky start, Muchacho’s spirit remained unbreakable—his big heart and even bigger personality made him an instant favorite. 💙

🇨🇦 ✈️ After traveling thousands of miles, Muchacho found his forever home in Toronto, trading sandy beaches for snowy sidewalks.
Now, he spends his days soaking up belly rubs, going on adventures, and charming everyone he meets with his playful energy and soulful eyes.

Muchacho is more than just a rescue—he’s a reminder that second chances can lead to the most beautiful beginnings. 💕🐾🐕

Follow his journey and see how this Cabo pup is living his best life, one tail wag at a time! @cabomuchacho 🩵
