I finally took Ada to Ooh Lala Pet Spaw in Hampton! They're a mobile groomer, so Renee will also come to you!

Ada came out super soft and looking fantastic! After she potentially had a bad experience elsewhere, my priority for today was not pushing it if she was uncomfortable. It was so nice not having to worry about her while in Renee's care!

The prices are reasonable, especially for such a high quality grooming experience! Highly recommend!

Happy National Great Dane Day! 🎉

We'll take any excuse to celebrate the goofiest, happiest, most handsome, biggest baby, aka Brisket 😍

Danes aren't for everyone, but everyone should definitely try to experience the breed! Good luck keeping a straight face with all of their antics! 😂

He's a gentle giant, especially as he ages and matures!

Would you own a Great Dane?

I've mentioned rotating proteins before, but why?

For one, it helps had a little variety for our pups! Most people don't enjoy the same food every day, so why would our dogs?!

I think it can also help reduce sensitivities like upset stomach, since they're used to different proteins!

Different proteins have different benefits! Beef is high in zinc and iron, fish brings omegas to the table, while chicken is lean and easy to digest!

Every dog is different! I primarily look at the calories when rotating. I like this fish formula, as it's only a few calories different than the fish! Which means their daily amount can stay the same 🙌

Do you rotate proteins for your dog?

We don't typically feed canned food as part of our dogs's daily diets. We primarily feed it supplementary with enrichment! However, our canned food usage has gone up since the arrival of our newest addition!
Meet Miss Dolly Parton! She is around 5weeks old and will be available for adoption through in January!
She's currently getting an assortment of goodies including soaked puppy kibble and canned food. Mixed with either puppy milk replacement or goat milk 🥛
If you'd like to donate towards her care, we have the BARC site listed in our link tree (link in bio). Thank you for helping us help pups like Dolly and Willie!
