Let's talk about the benefits of puzzle toys and fun feeders for your pup!

🧠 Mental Stimulation: Dogs need mental exercise just like they need physical exercise. Puzzle toys challenge their brains, keeping them sharp and engaged.

⏳ Slower Eating: Fun feeders slow down meal times, reducing the risk of bloating and improving digestion.

🏅 Behavioral Improvement: Boredom can lead to destructive behavior. Keep your dog entertained and reduce unwanted behaviors with engaging toys.

💪 Physical Exercise: Many puzzle toys require movement, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.

🌟 Anxiety Relief: Puzzle toys can help reduce anxiety by keeping your dog's mind busy and providing a sense of accomplishment. They can be a great way to soothe nervous pups and create a calm, happy environment.

Give your furry friend the gift of fun, mental challenge, and stress relief with puzzle toys and fun feeders! 🐶✨

Summer is here, and while we all love soaking up the sun, it’s important to remember that our furry friends can be more sensitive to the heat. Here are some tips to keep your dog cool and safe during the hot months:

1. Hydration is Key: Always ensure your dog has access to fresh, clean water. Consider adding ice cubes to their water bowl to keep it extra cool.

2. Avoid Midday Walks: Walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening when the temperatures are cooler. Hot pavement can burn their paws, so always check the ground with your hand before heading out.

3. Shade and Shelter: Provide plenty of shade for your dog if they’re spending time outside. A shaded area or an umbrella can make a big difference.

4. Cool Treats: Offer frozen treats or toys to help your dog cool down. You can even make your own dog-friendly popsicles!

5. Watch for Signs of Heatstroke: Look out for excessive panting, drooling, weakness, or confusion. If you suspect heatstroke, move your dog to a cool area immediately and contact us.

6. Never Leave Your Dog in the Car: Even with the windows cracked, cars can heat up quickly and become deadly.

Remember, our pups rely on us to keep them safe and comfortable. Let’s make this summer a fun and safe one for everyone! 🐶 🐾

Happy Father's Day to all the hard working dads from our family at Blue Lake Animal Hospital!
