One thing I've learned as a lifelong cat owner who got a dog a year ago is that not all toys are equal.

It's like squares and rectangles:

All dogs will play with cat toys but not all cats will play with dog toys.

And i have a big dog, a nearly 40 kg german shepperd that has a lot of running room, with constant zoomies! I'm talking wands, mice, lasers... She plays with it all, and she has her own dog toys too.

So when in doubt, you really don't need to worry about immidiately buying 50 different dog toys for your pupper, hell, mine played with an old towel as a puppy just fine for the first weeks,

Pets should not be causing you constant anxiety, and if they do, cats are probably the chillest option out there. Or, atleast, any cats that aren't orange.

Sharing your food with your dog may feel like an act of love, but it’s important to know the risks. Many common ingredients in human food, like garlic, onions, and artificial sweeteners such as xylitol, are toxic to dogs. Even foods that appear harmless, like cooked chicken or seasoned meat, can lead to upset stomachs or long-term health issues, such as obesity or pancreatitis. Table scraps and salty snacks might also increase the risk of heart problems or shorten their lifespan. Instead of sharing your food, opt for dog-safe treats that are specially made for their needs. By being mindful of their diet, you’ll ensure a happy and healthy companion for years to come! 🐾💕 FOLLOW DOE MORE!!!!

If I had a dog, I would name him Achilles and teach him to heel.

PSA: This is how you hold a leash.

It is called the "thumb lock". You put your thumb into the loop and wrap your fingers around it. The leash exits at your pinkie finger.

This is the leash hold recommended by hand surgeons who have to try to fixed wrenched fingers and broken wrists.

The more the dog pulls, the tighter your thumb is pushed into your fist, so it cannot wrench your fingers backwards.

But if you need to let go for emergency reasons, as soon as you open your hands the leash will slip right off your thumb easily.

It feels weird at first but you'll get used to it. Keep your hand close to your waist, too, please!! An outstretched arm is a lever the dog can use to pull you over.
