Why does my dog…

Why does my dog chase their tail?

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Turns out, walks aren’t just a treat for dogs. They’re essential. Recent numbers show that 30–70% of dog owners walk their pups regularly, while about 40% admit they fall short. Those who do stick with it average nine walks a week, or about 11 full days a year on the move!

It’s proof that even if life gets hectic, people still want to make sure their four-legged friends get the activity they need.

And here’s the uplifting part: walking your dog is good for you, too. Owners are 34% more likely to meet their own exercise goals just by grabbing the leash. A simple walk around the block can make both tails and spirits seem a little higher.

Meet Zuma, Jerry’s devoted blue bay German Shepherd and full-time service dog. Whether it’s a lake, a pond, or a calm shoreline, his favorite seat is right in the water, soaking in the moment.

Always by Jerry’s side, Zuma is family in every sense of the word. Thanks to Jerry for sharing this beautiful bond. Want your dog featured next? Send us a photo and a few fun facts. We’d love to share their story!

Crisp fall weather makes the trails hard to resist, and many of us love bringing our dogs along. But keeping them safe takes a little extra planning.

First, match the trail to your dog’s ability. A senior pup or a smaller breed may not handle steep or rocky terrain as easily as a younger, active dog. Shady paths and water access are always a plus. Don’t forget a collapsible water bowl. Hydration is key on long treks!

Leashes are a must, no matter how well-trained your dog is. Wildlife, other hikers, or just a good scent can quickly distract them. If you hike often, a GPS tracker with lights or sound alerts can offer extra peace of mind.

When the hike is over, give your dog a quick once-over for ticks. Paired with flea and tick prevention, this simple step helps keep them healthy long after the trail ends.

Getting paid is good. Getting paid early is even better. When you deposit paychecks into Cash App, you can make that a regular thing.

As soon as we get your paycheck, it’s ready for you—up to 2 days earlier than many banks. You’re in control of what happens next—choose a percentage of your paycheck to save, invest, or even buy bitcoin.* And with no monthly fees, your money stays yours.

Plus, you can relax knowing your money is protected by 24/7 fraud prevention and real-time activity alerts.

Speed up payday.
