Carolina Dog Times 
          The Information You Need About the Dogs You Love

 

 

We all think that our dogs are one in a million - and we're right! So, remember to treat your dog as you would want to be treated - with loving kindness and thoughtfulness. Pay attention to what your dog is eating, whether he's at a healthy weight, if his ears are clean and nails are clipped, if he's getting walked daily and receiving all the care needed to promote a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

 

This edition of the Carolina Dog Times is devoted to you and your one-in-a-million! 

 

So, enjoy the fabulous fall days ahead with your special pups. There's so much to do together! Read about fun, dog-friendly places to go together in Fall Into Your Hushpuppies! and for those of you who missed our last Graduate Learn & Walk - you're in for another opportunity to participate again! Check out the date of the next one and take a look at some cool pics from last month's event.

 

Woof!
