Fun New Whimzee’s Stix Shapes – a new love of “brushing”!
Introduce a new love of “brushing” with the fun shape of the WHIMZEES Stix Dental Dog Treats. Totally edible and easily digestible, these vegetarian and all-natural treats help to freshen breath and reduce buildup on your dog’s teeth. They’re free of gluten so it’s a great solution for dogs with sensitivities, and they’re made with natural ingredients that have vitamins and antioxidants.

Fun fact! A dog’s nose print is as unique as a human fingerprint, making it a reliable method for identification.

Why Microchip Your Pet? Did you know 1 in 3 pets go missing in their lifetime? Chip Your Pet Month at Kimvet
This month at Kimvet, we celebrate Pet Microchipping Month. Why is it so important to microchip your furry companion? Microchipping is a simple and quick procedure that can make the difference between life and death for your pet. A microchip, which is the size of a grain of rice, is inserted under your animal’s skin and contains a unique identification number that can be scanned. This means that if your pet gets lost, any veterinarian or animal shelter can scan the chip and access your contact information, making it easier for them to return home. Additionally, in many places, microchipping is a legal requirement, and it is an effective way to prove ownership of your pet. So, if you haven’t done it yet, come to Kimvet and make sure your four-legged friend is protected!

How to Stuff a Kong for Maximum Enjoyment For Your Dog
To maximize your dog’s enjoyment when stuffing a Kong, start by selecting a variety of tasty fillings that cater to your pet’s preferences. Consider using a mix of soft foods like peanut butter or yogurt, combined with dry kibble or treats for added texture. For an extra challenge, freeze the stuffed Kong overnight, which will not only prolong the fun but also keep your dog engaged as they work to get to the delicious rewards inside. Experiment with different combinations to keep things exciting and ensure your furry friend looks forward to their Kong time.
Nutrition Guide For Dogs, Based On Your Pet’s Size
When it comes to feeding dogs, their size plays a crucial role in determining their nutritional needs. Small breeds, such as Chihuahuas and Pomeranians, typically require a diet that is higher in calories and protein relative to their body weight, as they have faster metabolisms and need more energy to sustain their activity levels.
