It can be hard to know what exactly to look for on a pet food label- and we're here to help!
1️⃣ The very first thing to look for is the life stage and species the food is intended for.
2️⃣ Next, be on the lookout for label claims. There are regulations that control the wording used on pet food labels, and what may seem like a small difference in phrasing can reflect a big difference in the content of the food.
3️⃣ Check the item's Food Safety Regulations. A balanced and nutritious diet is an important part of your pet’s overall health and well-being. By understanding the pet food label and by following feeding guidelines, you are giving your pet a great foundation for a healthy life.
For more information on these steps and how to successfully read a pet food's label, visit https://vetmed.illinois.edu/pet-health-columns/pet-food-label/.

Daily ☀️ reminder!
Taking your 🐕 pup out for time in the sun each day is a great way to make sure they're getting enough Vitamin D! Dogs absorb Vitamin D just like humans do- and it's super important for their overall health!
Dogs need vitamin D to help absorb and regulate calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D also helps the kidneys to conserve calcium.
If you don't have time to get your dog outside for some fun in the sun, we can help! Call us now at 📞 202-643-6344!

Welcome to another Humpday Helper! Today we talk about how we take care of your cats in 6 easy steps: Step 1: Welcome! Cats are always curious, some may come out to say "Hi!" some may hide under a couch. We come in slowly and announce ourselves so they are prepared😺😸😽 Step 2: Feeding and Watering. We refill the water bowl EVERY visit. We also follow your feeding instructions, no matter how much there is to do. We wouldn't want your kitty to miss a meal💧💧💧🍵🍵🍵 Step 3: Cleaning the Litterbox. We clean the litterbox EVERY visit. We want to make sure your cat has a fresh box to use when you're not home. (Toilets are not an option unfortunately) Step 4: Play Time! This is my favorite time with a cat. We want your cat to stay active and play, even if they won't come from out from under that couch Step 5: Loving Time! Another one of our favorites. Some cats miss their hoomans so much and just want to love and love. Some are just the most loving no matter who is there. Some may not want this and we respect their space😻 Step 6: Nap Time! Finally, we want your cat to be so happy and content by the time we leave they just want to nap. Nap times are for dreaming of mice to chase 😺🐭 Make sure you call us today or visit us at MetroMuttsdc.com for a Meet and Greet tomorrow! We're here for you cat visits 365 days a year #catsittingforyou @catsittingsteps #wewanttoloveyourcatswhileyouregone

Welcome to our first Humpday Helper! Today’s topic is getting your dog ready for snow and ice. As you can see, Twinkie is not a fan of the boots. Watch her lick her lips and stomp around to show she is unhappy. Well wait until she is outside! She is much more unhappy walking on that cold ice or rough salt. How do you get your dog ready for the ice and snow? Here’s a few tips from the Metro Mutts Team: Reward them! Have plenty of treats ready. *Go Slow! Do one paw at a time. Don’t force their tiny little paws into the boots. *Practice! Let them walk around the house a bit. Play with them. Let them feel normal. *Reward again! Give them more treats for doing so great. Repeat as needed! *Be Careful! When you go outside make sure to take it slower than usual. Your dog may not love you or the boots but they will thank you when they are not hurting on the ice or salt. After that first time they’ll wanna play outside for hours! What additional tips do you have for getting your dog ready for snow and ice?
What, are you saying you don’t balance on the banister for bath time? #jasminetheacrobat #caturday
