We don't all have the same challenges.👈
We also have unique dogs with their own quirks, likes and dislikes.

Crates and their use can be tricky.
I appreciate this may spark a discussion (and healthy debate is always encouraged).

IF you are considering using one....it shouldn't feel like restricted confinement.
It can absolutely take weeks or months.
If it is a choice you would like to make, they must be introduced kindly and positively.

If you can do that, you’ve just helped your dog discover a place they truly love to go.
A place of calm and quiet.
The best place to have a chew on a favourite toy.

If you don't like them and don't want to use them.....absolutely ok too.
A rug, bed or mat may be just the place for you dog.

Whichever way you go...a sense of security and peace is the aim.

Good to know!

Irrigation ditches start flowing soon-usually around May 1st and we always see an increase of dogs needing our care for vomiting and diarrhea the first week or so the ditches start flowing. PLEASE keep dogs out of the ditch water the first 7-10 days.

These fruit are SAFE to feed your dog. Just remember to peel the skin and remove the pits, seeds, and rinds!
