Ava and Dottie were groomed today! Spending time with a careful, qualified groomer provides life skills that transfer to the vet's office, a walk at a pet shop, and brushing time at home. The Shore has some great resources, including a mobile groomer and Fear Free Groomers. 🥰

Happy August! Many of us boat or swim with our dogs on the Shore. Here's an article about life jackets for dogs that might provide some insight.
Keep in mind, this is a commercial site and although ESD doesn't specifically endorse these products, we do generally advocate safety first for our dogs.

Learn why all dogs are recommended to wear a life jacket when being in or by the water.

This is a cool article about how amazing dogs are and one more way they use their super sniffers to make our lives better.

Maple is part of the team at MSU’s Pollinator Performance Center doing critical pollinator research and education. A retired police K-9, she uses her super sense of smell to detect bacteria in bee colonies to help prevent disease from spreading.

Currently, beekeepers must manually inspect colonies for disease, but dogs like Maple can identify disease much faster, which could make a big impact on the industry.

This project is one of many occurring at the Pollinator Performance Center. Operating since 2021, the center allows MSU to be at the forefront of honeybee and other pollinator research.
