Five weeks old and full of charm! 🐾
Chris and Katie Luberoff’s Winnie x Loki puppies are growing fast—and somehow getting cuter by the day.

These little ones are officially all spoken for, and we couldn’t be more excited for the lucky families waiting to meet them soon!

We’re also excited to share that we’re whelping another litter for one of our clients—due on September 11! So if you’re still looking for a puppy, we’ve got more on the way. Please feel free to reach out!

🚨 This vet has been changing the game for 20 years… and we’re finally getting the full tour! 🚨

When a case is simple? We trust him.
When it’s anything but? We really trust him.

For two decades, Dr. Allman has been our go-to — not just because he’s a great vet, but because he thinks outside the box. He chooses a more natural approach whenever possible, sets the bar higher than anyone else we’ve seen, and still manages to keep costs lower than most.

This December, we’ve been invited to see his brand-new hospital — and it’s packed with incredible new equipment and innovative treatments he can’t wait to share.

Check it out right here!!

VROC in Austin, Texas, offers advanced pet orthopedic & spine surgery with board-certified surgeons, state-of-the-art tech, and rehab center.

Step Away from the Clippers

It might seem like shaving a long-haired dog is the best way to help them stay cool in the summer — but it’s actually the opposite.

Dogs like Golden Retrievers, Border Collies, Pyrenees, and other double-coated breeds rely on their coat for temperature regulation. Their fur acts as insulation in the winter and as protection from heat and sunburn in the summer.

When you shave or trim too short, you remove that natural barrier. This can make it harder for them to cool themselves, expose them to harmful UV rays, and even damage how their coat grows back.

Instead of clipping, help your dog beat the heat with:
• Regular brushing to remove dead undercoat
• Plenty of shade and fresh water
• Avoiding strenuous activity during peak heat

Your dog’s coat is built for a purpose — trust nature’s design.

These sweet boys have found their forever homes! Thanks everyone!!

Forever homed! 💙💙

Hi there 👋 It’s us — the Blue Boys! 💙 (Royal Blue & Light Blue)

All our brothers and sisters from the Kaizen x Sha litter have already found their families… and now it’s just us, waiting for our turn.

We’re 7 weeks old, have already splashed in the water, met some birds, and gotten all our vaccines. We come with a 26-month health guarantee (fancy words for “we’re healthy & ready for life’s adventures”).

We don’t care if our forever home is in the field, on the couch, or both — as long as it’s with someone who will love us forever. 🐾

Could you help us find them? Maybe they’re your friends, your neighbors… or maybe they’re you.

📍 $1,800 each — Let’s make this the week we get to go home.
