Let’s hear it for the real MVPs of our recent goody bags: Farm to Pet Healthy Pet Treats 🐾🙌

​We stuffed every single goody bag with their amazing single-ingredient treats, and let me tell you—they were an absolute, undeniable hit across the board. Zero fluff, 100% wholesome crunch, and zero hesitation from any of the dogs who got their paws on them! 🦴✨

​If you’re looking for a clean, single-ingredient snack that dogs go wild for (and that you can feel 100% good about feeding), definitely check them out!

​From spooky costumes and slatmill runs to some well-deserved "pawdicures," it was an unforgettable weekend for our canine community. It’s safe to say these dogs worked hard and partied harder! 💪💅✨

Halloween weekend may be over, but the energy on the slatmill is still rolling! 🐾⚡️

​We had an absolute blast at the Howlin' Halloween Bash seeing so many incredible dogs step up, lock in, and test out their strides. From powerhouse working breeds to spirited first-timers, every single pup brought their A-game to the mill.

​Check out this lineup of champions! 💪🔥

A huge thank you to our friends at The Distracted Dog for hosting such a great event 💙💛

Happy Howl-o-Ween, everyone! 🐾🎃

​We had an absolute blast seeing all of your amazing pups today at the Howlin' Halloween Bash in Peoria Heights! We are so endlessly grateful to be part of such a wonderful, welcoming dog community. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hi!

​While Halloween is a blast for us, all the costumes, decorations, and constant ringing at the door can make it a downright spooky experience for our furry best friends. Since veterinary care and canine wellness are close to my heart, I want to share a few crucial AVMA pet safety tips to keep our hounds safe and sound tonight:

🍬Watch the Treats: Never feed your pets Halloween candy. Ingestion of raisins or candy containing chocolate or xylitol can cause severe poisoning.

🚫Prevent Intestinal Blockages: Keep glow sticks, decorations, candy wrappers, and parts of costumes out of paw's reach.

🐿Keep Kids & Critters Calm: A continuous parade of strangers in spooky costumes and constant door-opening can cause major stress and give pets an opportunity to escape. Give your pet a quiet, safe, secure hiding place inside away from the activity.

🔥Decor & Flame Safety: Keep lit candles, jack-o'-lanterns, and other decorations well out of reach to prevent burns or accidental fires.
​ID Your Pets: Make sure your dog is properly identified with a registered microchip, collar, and ID tag just in case they slip out.

🎭 Costume Check: If your dog is dressed up, make sure their costume fits properly, has no chewable/choking hazards, and doesn’t hinder their sight, hearing, breathing, mouth movement, or ability to walk.

​In case of an emergency or animal-related toxicity, keep the ASPCA Poison Control hotline handy at 1-888-426-4435, or reach out to your veterinarian!

​Now, show us those spooky photos 👻🐶🦇

High-drive dogs don’t just have energy—they have an operating system looking for a ✨️ purpose ✨️ ​Channeling that intensity early on changes everything:

​🎯 Physical Health: Controlled, high-output conditioning builds bulletproof muscle and protects joints before wear-and-tear sets in.

​🧠 Mental Resilience: A dog with a productive outlet learns emotional regulation, focus under arousal, and how to actually settle.

​🔋 Trainability: Trying to train a dog whose brain is vibrating at a million miles an hour is nearly impossible. An exhausted, satisfied dog is a responsive dog.

​So, how do we give them that "job" safely?
​Enter the slatmill. 🔥

​Unlike forced road running or high-impact fetch, a non-motorized slatmill puts the dog completely in the driver's seat. They control the pace, driving an incredible cardiovascular and muscle workout entirely by their own volition. It satisfies that deep craving for "work" down to their bones.

​When you give a high-drive dog a structured job, you aren't just managing behavior—you're unlocking their best potential 🐾

Even our Co-CEO needs a minute to tune in! 🐾

​Even with regular and routine access to the slatmill, it's totally normal for dogs to take a little time to really focus and find their rhythm—no matter how experienced they are. Some pups dive right in, others need a little extra encouragement and high-value treats, and every dog's process looks a little different.

​So what's Daisy’s secret weapon? No complex motivation needed here—she just needs the sound of a sweet squeaker ball to get her wheels moving in full gear! 🥎🐕

She's our zero-to-sixty girl ✨️✨️

Pippa crushed her second slatmill session today! ⚡️ High-drive pups thrive with focused, self-paced movement—and a steady trot is the ultimate way to get those wiggles out.

​Bonus: a tired dog equals a little extra calm for the humans at home! 🐾
