THEY’RE HERE! 🎉🐶 After months of testing and tweaking, Vailes K-9 Academy dog treats are officially live!

Three flavors, all made with human-grade ingredients — oat flour, olive oil, real fruit, and honey. No fillers, no junk. Just real food that smells so good you might question who they’re really for 😂

🐾 Sweet Potato & Honey 🐾 Strawberry Banana 🐾 Blueberry & Peanut Butter

Break ‘em in half for training rewards, or give the whole thing as a snack. Either way, your dog wins.

$12 a bag or 3 for $30 — order at vailesk9academy.net/treats

I started these treats because so many of the dogs I train have food allergies. One of my regulars is even allergic to chicken, and a lot of store-bought treats are sketchy. The front of the bag will say ‘beef,’ but when you read the ingredients, there’s still chicken byproduct hiding in there, and my clients’ dogs can’t afford that.

Instead of using meat, we use fruits and veggies that are actually good for your dog. Strawberries help with the teeth, blueberries are packed with antioxidants to support their immune system, peanut butter adds protein, bananas bring the potassium, and sweet potatoes add natural fiber and are gentle on most dogs’ stomachs.

Now I get to share them with your dogs too. That means everything to me. 💛

FUN FACT FRIDAY:

With a heat spike expected in the metropolitan area next week, it's important to protect our pets' paws. To test pavement temperature, gently touch it with the back of your hand for 10 seconds. If it feels too hot or causes a burn, it's likely unsafe for your dog’s paws. Remember, as air temperatures rise, so does the heat of asphalt. Also, keep in mind that high temperatures increase the risk of heat stroke.

Early Warning Signs:

Heavy panting: Breathing is fast and loud, even when resting.

Discolored gums: Gums and tongue turn bright red, purple, or very pale.

Thick drool: Saliva becomes sticky, thick, or ropey.

Weakness: Your dog seems very tired, slows down, or refuses to move.

Severe Symptoms

Stomach upset: Vomiting or diarrhea, which may contain blood.

Confusion: Your dog acts dizzy, stumbles, or cannot walk straight.

Fast heartbeat: The pulse races or feels irregular.

Collapse: Your dog falls over, faints, or becomes unresponsive.

Seizures: Full-body tremors, fitting, or coma.

If you see these signs, cool your dog down with water and visit an emergency vet immediately.
