True or false: Dogs get sweaty feet.
(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!) | | | Hiking Helped This Overweight Dog Get Healthy
Berkeley's elderly owner passed away, and she was returned to the shelter. This four-year-old dog was sad and overweight. She was adopted, and her new owner started hiking with her. On the first hike, she tired very quickly and didn't seem to really enjoy the outdoors. Her first few weeks were tough, and she struggled to eat or get comfortable at her new home.
On the third hiking trip, Berkeley really seemed to come to life. She began to explore and sniff everything. Playing in mud puddles and getting more curious to explore, her new owner could tell she had fallen in love with hiking.
She was camping and taking longer hikes by the second year at the new home. She was healthier than ever and discovered a love for water and swimming. Berkeley is healthy and lean now and has the best personality.

Good nutrition plays a pivotal role in the overall health and well-being of our canine companions. Providing dogs with a balanced and wholesome diet not only supports their physical growth and development but also bolsters their immune system, enhances their energy levels, and promotes a shiny coat and healthy skin.
A well-balanced diet tailored to their specific breed, size, age, and activity level can help prevent various health issues, such as obesity, digestive problems, and joint disorders. Additionally, maintaining a nutritious diet contributes to their longevity and ensures they lead a vibrant and active life, fostering a strong bond between dogs and their owners through shared moments of play and exercise.

Many dogs suffer from anxiety in some form. They might have separation, environmental, social, or other general anxiety. It's important to know the signs your dog gives out when they are uncomfortable so you can remove or comfort them.
Eight signs that your dog may be anxious: - Panting. Dogs pant often, but if they seem to be panting for no reason, it could be anxiety.
- Pacing. Dogs pace like humans when they are worried.
- Barking. There are many reasons for barking, but it's usually to get your attention.
- Whining. This is one of the most dependable signs that their emotions are heightened.
- Shaking. Dogs may shake when they are cold or scared.
- Defecating. Even house-trained dogs may go to the bathroom when feeling anxious.
- Aggression. Dogs may act out if they feel threatened or scared.
- Chewing. Anxious dogs may chew up shoes or other items if they are anxious.
