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 🩵

🐶 Brushing your dog should always be done after

🐶 Brushing your dog should always be done after their coat is clean - avoid brushing a dirty coat! ❌

🫧 A quick wash every two weeks, followed by a brushing, is usually enough if your pooch is groomed regularly. ✅ Longer coats may need more frequent brushing.

Recommended Tools for Different Coat Types:
🐾 Short-haired breeds – Curry brush
🐾 Long-haired breeds – Slicker brush & fine-toothed comb
🐾 Wire coat – Carding tool (for experienced users), slicker brush & fine-toothed comb
🐾 Double coat – Slicker brush, fine-toothed comb & rake (for experienced users)

These are just a few essential tools for different coat types! Have questions? Drop them in the comments, and Tanya, professional groomer @poochesuniversity will be happy to help! ✂️🐶
