Pet of the Month
We love your pets, so we’re showcasing them.
- Cheyenne
For July, meet Cheyenne, our newest Pet of the Month — and a total superstar in every way. 💛
Cheyenne and her owner, Eryn, love going swimming and traveling together. Ask anyone who knows her and they’ll tell you: she doesn’t just enjoy swimming… she lives for it. Yes, yes, YES!
🎾 Favorite Toy: A tennis ball — or honestly any ball she can chase.
🍖 Favorite Treat: Dehydrated lamb lung fillets (a pro athlete needs her fuel).
🛏️ Favorite Place to Sleep: Eryn’s bed, of course.
🏅 Special Talents: Catching balls mid‑air, swimming like a champ, and competing in Confirmation, NASDA, and Fast CAT.
🤪 Quirky Behavior: The moment she sees a ball, she becomes hilariously laser‑focused. Game on.
Cheyenne brings joy, energy, and heart to everything she does — and we’re so excited to celebrate her this month. 💛🐾

💧🐾 July is Pet Hydration Awareness Month! 🐾💧
Did you know that proper hydration is essential for your pet's overall health and well-being? Just like us, pets need plenty of fresh water to stay healthy, especially during the warm summer months! ☀️🐶🐱
Here are a few ways to help keep your furry friends hydrated:
💦 Provide fresh, clean water daily
🥣 Wash water bowls regularly to keep them appealing
🏡 Place multiple water stations around your home
🧊 Add ice cubes to water bowls for a refreshing treat
🍉 Offer pet-safe water-rich treats (ask us for recommendations!)
🚶 Bring water along on walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures
Signs of dehydration can include:
⚠️ Dry or sticky gums
⚠️ Excessive panting
⚠️ Lethargy
⚠️ Loss of appetite
⚠️ Sunken eyes
If you notice any signs of dehydration, contact your veterinarian right away. 📞🐾
Let's help our pets stay cool, comfortable, and hydrated all summer long! ☀️💙
