*Chandler Bing*
Chandler Bing is a 1-year-old Tibetan Spaniel mix who weighs in at 11lbs. He’s the true definition of a lap dog as he mostly wants to just cuddle in your lap and take naps! He enjoys walking with his humans & wherever his humans are where he is. He’s potty trained and at night likes to sleep with his humans. Chandler Bing does phenomenal with humans of all ages and stages, but he’d prefer a family who is home to give him his cuddles or to go exploring the world together. He would do great with another playful pup his size. He will need regular grooming. Adoption fee is $225.00

Classical music can help lower anxiety and stress levels in our pups. Other research showed that harp music can as well.

The latest study was done in a grooming environment:

"Grooming procedures are often stressful for dogs due to exposure to loud noises, unfamiliar individuals, and the absence of their owners. This study aimed to assess whether classical music could reduce stress-related behaviours in dogs during grooming. Fifteen companion dogs of various breeds, aged 2 to 8 years, were observed during three grooming sessions: a control session without music, and two experimental sessions featuring classical piano compositions–Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and Chopin’s Nocturne. Music was played at 75 dB to mask ambient salon noise. Stress-related behaviours were rated on a 5-point scale during bathing, drying, clipping, and nail trimming. Results showed that all dogs, but especially males, exhibited significantly calmer behaviour in the music conditions. Female dogs showed similar trends, though differences were not statistically significant between stages. These findings suggest that classical music is a simple, effective, non-invasive enrichment method that can enhance dog welfare in grooming environments."

Striving to Keep NM Pets Thriving

Long Leash On Life is a health food and supply store for dogs and cats. Our mission is to improve the quality of cats' and dogs' lives through proper nutrition, positive training and a lifetime of meaningful enrichment, with a special focus on local rescue pets.

We are dedicated to helping pet parents do the absolute best they can to enhance their pets’ overall well-being. Our products are carefully selected based on meeting our high standards as well as their performance. We also pride ourselves in specialized customer service, where both you and your pets are genuinely treated like a part of our family.

Community support has always been another priority for Long Leash On Life. Throughout our fourteen years in business, we have supported many fine animal welfare organizations, such as Animal Humane New Mexico, Paws and Stripes, and Albuquerque Animal Welfare, to name a few.

Perhaps the most rewarding recipients are those in greatest need; the small local rescue groups and rural shelters. Our 2017-2019 donations of pet food tallied well over 400,000 pounds given to nearly 50 animal welfare organizations. This allowed many of these dedicated groups to afford spay and neuter costs, which helps control pet overpopulation, and ultimately reduces pet euthanasia in our Land of Enchantment.
