How do our hairiest friends spend their summers? They’re splashing in the pool, munching on yogurt berry pupsicles and showing off their most festive 4th of July outfits! Thank you to all of our readers for sharing your puppy’s photos with us. We’ve shared them on our Dogster social media pages – check out our #dogsterdogs in action! This summer, I’m working with my puppies on their comfort level around water. We are progressing ! Emmy and I are graduating this weekend from the pool and are heading out for a little paddleboarding adventure on the lake near our house. Emmy has always hated getting wet, so she’s come a long way.
Something to think about this month: How will you keep your dogs calm during the 4th of July fireworks? Many dogs become anxious and afraid of loud, unpredictable noises. Here are some tips to calm your dog, which will also make your party happier. We wish all our puppy friends a happy 4th of July!
