| | Pet Pantries Help Dog Parents in Need | Did you know that, just like there are food banks for people, there are also food pantries specifically for pets? Pet pantries provide an incredible resource for families who may need help feeding their pets, especially when the cost of pet food can add up on top of life's many expenses. Whether you might need a hand someday or know a fellow dog parent who could use support, pet pantries are worth knowing about, sharing, and supporting. | What Is a Pet Pantry? | Pet pantries are often run by animal welfare organizations and give out free or low-cost pet food and supplies to pet parents in need. Many animal shelters, rescues, and adoption centers host pet food banks, but individual advocates sometimes organize them as well. Some communities even hold pop-up pet food programs. | According to Best Friends Animal Society, financial difficulty is the third most common reason for pet surrenders. Thankfully, in recent years, awareness of the need for pet food banks has grown, and more are being opened. Pet food banks don't just make a difference for individual pet parents—they're also helping more pets stay in their homes. | Ways to Help | Supporting pet food banks is easy, and there are many ways to do it! Start by finding a pet food bank in your area, then decide how you'd like to get involved: donating money (covers the ongoing expenses), donating supplies (more food means more families can be helped!), or volunteering your time (every role, from distributing food to handling office tasks, is important). | If your area doesn't have a pet food bank, starting one is always an option! Partnering with local rescues is a great first step, and nearby pet-loving businesses or grocery stores may be open to donating supplies. | How amazing it is that, with community support, we can help more dogs stay where they belong—at home with their families. Do you have a pet pantry near you? What's your experience with them? We'd love to hear your stories! |

| | | Transform Your Dog's Meals | What's in your dog's kibble? Traditional kibble is often fried at high temperatures that zap out the nutrients your pup needs.

| | | | | | | | How Does Your Pup Say They're Sorry? | I don't know about you, but one of my dogs seems to find himself in trouble a lot—he probably owes me a whole week's worth of apologies! He's lucky he's cute; it never takes me long to forgive his long, sad face. While dogs can't say "I'm sorry" with words, they have their own adorable ways of expressing remorse, usually right after their mischief-making. Our sweet pups, despite their naughty moments, genuinely want to please us and see us happy. Let's explore the cute ways our pups apologize! | Puppy Eyes: Dogs will give their best "puppy eyes" to show remorse. Puppy eyes are a classic for a reason; they're hard to stay angry at. | Giving a Paw: Offering their paw can be a sweet way for your dog to make amends. And when you're prompted to grab their furry paw, it's a heartwarming reminder that they're your fur baby and that whatever they did, they didn't mean to upset you. | Hiding in a Corner or Avoiding Eye Contact: Sometimes they retreat to a quiet spot or avoid eye contact, feeling a bit guilty. | Nuzzling or Leaning Against You: This is your pup's way of seeking comfort and forgiveness. These pups need reassurance that you still love them – and I think a lot of us humans can relate to that! | Droopy Ears: Those sad, droopy ears are another classic sign that your pup feels remorse. They're so guilty, they can't even muster up the courage to perk up those adorable ears. Now that's sad—but how do they still look so cute while doing it? | Tucking Their Tail: This is when they know they've done something wrong. | What's your pup's way of saying sorry? We'd love to hear all about their sweet, silly ways! |
