Spring is in full swing, and we're all eager to refresh our homes and gardens! But as you're dusting off those shelves and bringing in fresh blooms, remember that some of those beautiful plants can pose serious dangers to our four-legged family members.

While you're spring cleaning and decorating, take a moment to check your houseplants against our toxic plant guide in the graphic. Even the most well-trained pups can get curious about new greenery!

Your dog's safety is always worth the extra minute it takes to verify what's coming into your home. After all, we want everyone in the family to enjoy this beautiful season safely!

🐾 FLEA & TICK SEASON ALERT! 🐾

Warmer weather means our furry friends need extra protection! These tiny pests aren't just annoying, they can transmit serious diseases and cause uncomfortable skin conditions for your beloved companions.

Remember:

✨WizCon 2025: A Celebration of Growth, Connection & Impact✨

We just wrapped up an incredible few days in Tampa for our annual owner's conference, and we’re still feeling the energy! From powerful keynotes to hands-on workshops, this year’s conference was all about growth, connection, and leveling up as business owners.

💡 We reset our culture.
📈 We embraced new tech & AI.
🎭 We celebrated at our Masquerade Gala & Annual Awards.
🐾 And most importantly, we gave back.

The biggest highlight? Together, we raised over $2,500 for Suncoast Animal League—a no-kill rescue that’s changing lives through adoption, therapy dog programs, and critical medical care. ❤️

This event reminded us why we do what we do. The Dog Wizard is more than just a brand—it’s a family dedicated to making a difference. 🚀

📸 Swipe through for some of our favorite moments!

If you’re ready to be part of something bigger—whether as a business owner, team member, or trainer—let’s make 2025 our best year yet!
