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. 💛🐾

When the air turns smoky, the safest place for your pets is inside with you. 💛
Wildfire smoke isn't just hard on us — it's rough on our furry friends too. Their lungs are smaller and more sensitive, so smoky air can quickly lead to breathing trouble, irritation, and stress. Dogs, cats, and small pets all feel it.
Here's how to keep your crew safe when the air quality drops:
🏡 Keep pets indoors as much as possible
🚫 Skip walks during heavy smoke — a short potty break is plenty
💧 Keep fresh water available to soothe their airways
👀 Watch for signs of distress: coughing, wheezing, excessive panting, or low energy
If your pet shows any of these symptoms, call your vet right away. When in doubt, cozy up indoors and wait for cleaner air. ☁️

Thanks for posting this. My dogs are definitely lethargic and have intuitively limited the time they spend outdoors.
