The fall season can be such a fun time. The weather gets cooler, the leaves change colors, everything pumpkin spiced comes out in stores -- and most importantly, there’s Halloween candy. Between the chocolates, the candy corn, the caramel apples, and the Pillsbury sugar cookies it’s almost impossible to “eat healthy” during this time.

Imagine what it must be like if you were on a specialized diet and felt as if you couldn’t join in on any of the fun! Now we know how dogs must feel on the daily when we get to eat candy, but they can’t. If only they understood it’s because we love them, we don’t let them eat foods that are bad for them.

Since we do love our pups, we may have to restrict what they eat sometimes and put them on a specialized diet that caters to their needs. If this is the case for you and your dog and you want to make sure that your dog still enjoys his dinner time, then here are some tips for you!

From romping and chomping to some good old fashion fetching, dog toys are a blast for pets and pet owners too! However, finding the right toy for your pup can be ruff!

For our furry friends, toys are not just fun and games. Dogs need mental stimulation to stay fit, healthy, and happy. Toys help fight boredom, provide comfort, and can even prevent your angel puppy from developing destructive behaviors.

So, whether you've got a new puppy joining the family or just looking to surprise your longtime companion, here are some tips on choosing the perfect toys for your pup.

Let’s face it: No matter how much you love your furry friend, it can’t always be fun and games with them. Well, maybe it can, but you’ll probably find yourself at one time or another wishing your dog had better manners.

Training can be hard, especially when your fur baby stares at you with those sad puppy dog eyes. When that happens, be careful not to fold like a lawn chair because most dogs are a quick study when it comes to knowing which of their behaviors earn rewards. 

Being a pet parent is pawsome! One of the many benefits of having a fur baby is they’re a great way to meet new people and make friends. Pets are the perfect ice-breaker.

From their friendly faces to their funny habits and mischievous antics, furry friends lighten the mood and provide common ground with fellow animal lovers. Here are 5 ways you can get involved with pet owners in your community. 

Of course, we love all fur babies, but Frenchies hold a special place in our hearts -- hence the name Frenchie Bulldog. You may be surprised to learn our sweet squishy-faced pups are not really French -- well, not in origin at least. From bullfighters to lap warmers and beyond, here is how this adorable little bowling ball of a dog came to charm the world!

So you’re having a baby. Congratulations!

Now it’s time to prepare for, well, your family’s world to be turned upside down -- that includes your dog’s world too. These changes can be disorienting, stressful, and -- in the words of our furry friends -- RUFF for your pet. Luckily there are some things you can do to make the transition a smooth one. 

Itchy eyes, ignoring food, looking sad and tired -- we all know what you're thinking when your pup looks like this: "Is it time to take my dog to the vet?"

Typically, dogs don’t show clear signs of them feeling sick or in pain. This is a trait that served their wild ancestors well in helping them to hide sickness from predators, but it does pose a challenge for pet parents. The last thing you want is for your dog to get seriously sick because you did not recognize the warning signs! Here are some ways you can determine whether or not you should take your dog to the vet. 

We're back with our August charity, and we've got a great one for you, Frenchie family -- or should we say "FARMily"?!

To date, Maddie and her "farmily" have rehabbed and rehomed more than 200 animals, including a rotation of foster puppies, a baby cow named Eric, and several llamas.
