True or False?

Dogs are able to detect earthquakes before they happen.

If your dog gets restless during storms or licks at dry paws, you might’ve come across something called CBD salve. But what exactly is it, and how is it used?

CBD salve is a topical balm made with cannabidiol, a natural, non-intoxicating compound found in hemp. It’s designed to be applied directly to your dog’s skin, not ingested. Most formulas include other dog-safe ingredients like coconut oil, beeswax, or essential oils to help the salve glide on smoothly.

Think of it as a gentle, soothing rub. Just scoop a small amount and apply it to dry paw pads, itchy skin, or around stiff joints. Many pet parents like using it after walks or at bedtime as a calming ritual. And since it’s used externally, it can be a great choice for dogs who aren’t fans of pills.

Overall, CBD salves offer an easy way to help your dog feel a little more at ease. And for many pet parents and their pups, it can even double as a bonding experience.

At CBD Dog Health, they believe in using nature to support your pet’s wellness. That’s why they created full-spectrum hemp extract salves — made with plant-based ingredients to help maintain healthy skin and soothe everyday irritations.

Great for:

• Itchy or dry skin

• Seasonal skin discomfort

• Rough paws or noses

• General skin support

And yes - they’re lick-safe!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This is great for any minor scrape or dryness. I love how quickly it made a difference.” - Debbie G.

There’s something special about an older dog—the knowing eyes, the gentle nudge for a belly rub, the way they always seem to understand. As our pups grow grey around the muzzle, they may need a little extra help to stay comfortable. Luckily, small changes go a long way.

Start with the simple stuff: a supportive bed or a soft mat in the tub to help with bath-time balance. If your dog’s joints are stiff, raising their food and water bowls can make mealtime feel better. Some pet parents also explore options like CBD oil to help ease joint pain and stiffness, but be sure to always check with your vet first. Even a nightlight can ease the way for pups with fading vision.

Slower days don’t have to mean boring ones. Try puzzle toys, short stroller rides, or new scents in the yard to keep their mind active. They may not be as active as they used to be, but their need for connection and love never fades.

Growing older is part of the journey, and with a little thoughtfulness, we can help our dogs feel safe, supported, and deeply loved in every season of life.

Some dogs lose their homes late in life, just when they need comfort most. But at Citizen Canine Rescue in Chicago, grey muzzles aren’t overlooked. They’re the whole mission.

Founders Karina Reyes and Miriam Gardner-Ryan started the rescue after seeing too many older dogs passed by for puppies. Now, each senior pup they take in is placed with a loving foster until a permanent home is found. Some only stay a few weeks. Others longer. All are treated like family.

Ellie and Obie, the founders’ own senior companions, showed them the magic in mellow walks, soulful eyes, and quiet companionship. That bond inspired a question: What if more people gave senior dogs a chance?

Turns out, older dogs aren’t hard to love. They just need someone to look past the years and see the heart still shining through.

From little barks to big impact, here’s what’s trending:

🤔 True or False: True (Sort of). While it’s not proven that dogs can predict earthquakes in the way some might think, many dogs are believed to sense changes in the environment that occur before an earthquake hits.
