Paws Down…Tails Up

Turing Over A New Leaf

By Rod McCann

The holidays are in our rear-view mirror which means the brand spanking new year is upon us. It’s a clean slate and anything and everything is on the table. Foot traffic, as well as paw traffic has gone from a scream to a whisper through living rooms throughout the city. So, why not start 2023 off right, by giving a whole lotta love to your furriest friends. From seasonal snacks and suds and tasty treats, we’ve got it all, and as we said, anything and everything is on the table!

Have those holiday leftovers left your dog feeling yuk? Then start the new year off right and try Jiminy’s, an insect protein treat that is not only a super food for dogs, but also a great prebiotic, because it feeds the healthy bacteria already found in your dog’s gut. Info: jiminys.com
