In the past few years, dog DNA testing has become very popular. It is common for people to adopt mixed breed dogs without knowing exactly which breeds comprise their new furry family member. Doggy DNA tests give people the ability to simply send in a sample of their dog’s DNA and have it tested by a lab. How cool is that?! A great canine DNA test kit on the market is the Mars Veterinary Wisdom Panel® 3.0. It is currently the most comprehensive at-home DNA test on the market, and you can get one at a discount this year at the Holiday Pet Festival!
A Pet Parent’s Guide to Thanksgiving Food for Dogs
Can you believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner?! It feels like we just got through the holidays. I’m definitely not complaining – time sure does fly when you’re having fun!

My Day at the County Animal Shelter – MCACC
The “pound” is a depressing place. I cry every time I go. And that’s no joke. Seeing terrified, sick animals behind chain link doors never gets easier to deal with. Especially seeing senior dogs look up at you as you walk by…ugh. You can’t help but wonder if they are going to spend their last days on earth alone in a kennel. But these are all of the reasons I go to Maricopa County Animal Care & Control. If someone doesn’t help and speak for these animals, who will?
How to Help Animal Shelters in the Cold Months
In Arizona, it just started getting cold. It’s hitting as low as 37° at night, and the coldest day we’ve seen was 59°. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be around 80° but it’s still really cold at night. That being said, we’re a WARM state! I know a majority of the country is already experiencing snow. During this time, animal shelters are overloaded. Some are super cold, with concrete floors for the dogs to lay on. So how can you help your local shelter during this busy, cold time?
The Dog I Saved, but Couldn’t Save.
The famous saying “you can’t save them all” in animal rescue really rings true tonight. Nothing is worse than wanting to so badly save a dog and you just can’t ultimately save them.
I belong to a lot of lost & found pet groups on Facebook. When I was scrolling through my feed, I saw a picture that caught my eye. It was a very sad looking dog, with electrical wire around her neck. She was found on a street corner, tied to a lamp post with the wire. Like, really?
