In most cases, skipping a poo or two isn’t a big deal. However, canine constipation is no joke, and it can happen to any dog.

“Breeding French Bulldogs should be illegal.”I’ve seen this statement countless times on social media and in various news articles over the last few years.

Are you looking for a shelf-stable, highly nutritious alternative to kibble? Air-dried dog food is growing in popularity for many pup parents who want to give their furry friends a flavorful, not-bone-dry dining option. It’s often less expensive than fresh meals but still packs premium ingredients into minimally (but safely) processed dog chow.

Owners of large dogs with thick and long fur have a hard time finding a shock collar that’s effective. Why? All that extra hair.
