Pet of the Month
We love your pets, so we’re showcasing them.
- Ito
🎉 Meet Ito — a sweet, silly boy who loves long walks, squeaky toys, and keeping his mom on her toes! We’re thrilled to celebrate this lovable and hilarious pup as our October Pet of the Month!
🚶 Favorite Thing to Do Together: Going for long walks — especially when it’s not too hot!
🏊 Swimming: Absolutely not! Ito prefers to keep his paws firmly on dry land. 😂
🎾 Favorite Toy: His favorite yellow squeaky ball!
🛏️ Favorite Place to Sleep: Mom’s bed or the couch. Because why choose just one?
🦴 Favorite Treat: Anything his mom is eating. Obviously. 😉
🐾 Tricks & Special Talents: Ito can shake hands like a gentleman, but his true superpower is getting something he shouldn’t eat into his mouth in less than 0.0005 seconds. Lightning‑fast mischief!
😂 Quirky & Funny Behavior: Ito loves to bring you a toy… but the moment you reach for it, he spins around and presents his wiggle bootie instead — because what he really wanted was a booty rub!
❤️ Congratulations, Ito! We’re so happy to celebrate this sweet, squeaky‑ball‑loving, wiggle‑bootie boy as our Pet of the Month!

🐾 Tips for Reducing Your Pet's Weight
• Measure meals accurately instead of free-feeding. Even small extra portions can add up over time.
• Choose healthy treats wisely. Treats should make up no more than 10% of your pet's daily calories. Consider healthy alternatives like green beans, carrots, or veterinarian-approved low-calorie treats.
• Increase daily exercise.
Dogs: More walks, fetch, hiking, swimming, or interactive play.
Cats: Feather toys, laser pointers, food puzzles, and climbing activities can help keep them moving.
• Avoid table scraps. Human food is often high in calories and can contribute to unhealthy weight gain.
• Use food puzzles and slow feeders. These can help pets eat more slowly and stay mentally stimulated.
• Schedule regular weigh-ins. Tracking progress helps ensure weight loss is happening safely and steadily.
• Talk to your veterinarian. Underlying medical conditions can contribute to weight gain, and your veterinary team can recommend an appropriate diet and weight-loss plan.
❤️ Remember: Healthy weight loss takes time. A gradual, consistent approach is safer and more successful than rapid weight loss, helping your pet live a longer, healthier, and happier life. 🐾 ... See MoreSee Less
