Always working with this guy. Commands with hand signals and no words other than correction. He’s got it! I sometimes slip. 🐕‍🦺. Such a brilliant creature ❤️

It’s 4/20… so let’s have a real talk about your dog.

I’m all for adults making their own choices. But your dog didn’t sign up for that lifestyle.

Every year, I see an increase in calls on April 20th from panicked pet parents because their dog got into marijuana—edibles, joints, oils, you name it. And here’s the truth:

THC and dogs do NOT mix.

Dogs are far more sensitive to THC than humans. What might feel “mild” to you can cause serious symptoms in your dog, like:
• Disorientation
• Loss of coordination
• Vomiting
• Tremors
• Incontinence
• Extreme lethargy or agitation

And edibles? Even worse. Now you’re adding chocolate, xylitol, or other toxic ingredients into the mix.

Let’s clear something up:
CBD is not the same as THC.

High-quality, THC-free CBD (used responsibly and under guidance) can sometimes support anxiety, pain, or inflammation in dogs.

But tossing your dog a bite of your brownie or letting them “chill with you”? That’s not bonding… that’s negligence.

There is no safe “recreational dose” of THC for dogs.

So today, if you’re celebrating:
• Keep all products completely out of reach
• Don’t leave things unattended (dogs are opportunists)
• Educate guests who may not know better
• Call your vet immediately if you suspect exposure

Your dog trusts you to make safe choices for them.

Let’s keep it that way.
