True or False?

Dogs don’t get cold because of their fur.

We all love sharing snacks with our dogs, but some human foods can do more harm than good. Even small amounts of certain ingredients can cause serious health issues, so it’s worth knowing what to keep out of reach.

Chocolate, caffeine, grapes, onions, and xylitol (a common sugar substitute) top the danger list. These can lead to anything from vomiting to heart problems or, in severe cases, organ failure.

Nuts, raw dough, and fatty foods can also upset your dog’s stomach or even cause pancreatitis. And while dairy might seem harmless, many dogs are lactose intolerant, which can lead to digestive issues.

You don’t need to panic, just stay mindful. Stick to dog-safe snacks like carrots, blueberries, or plain cooked chicken.

Every dog parent knows the fear—your pup gets into something they shouldn’t. Chocolate, human medications, or even THC can all cause serious poisoning, and until now, there hasn’t been much you could do at home.

That’s why veterinarians created ReadyRESCUE™, the first-of-its-kind emergency tool for accidental pet poisonings. Using clean, easy-to-give activated carbon spheres, ReadyRESCUE™ rapidly binds toxins in the stomach and intestines, helping limit absorption into the bloodstream.

The result? You buy life-saving time on the way to the vet. Developed by veterinary specialists, ReadyRESCUE™ isn’t a replacement for care but a critical first step—like a fire extinguisher for your dog’s health.

Don’t wait for an emergency to wish you had it on hand.

Meet today’s dog of the day, Charley! This wide-eyed wonder is a 5-year-old Pomsky from Portland, Oregon, where she lives her best life surrounded by fall leaves and string cheese.

Charley isn’t the biggest fan of camping, but give her a tiny tent and she’s all in. When she’s not cozying up outdoors, she’s the star of her agility class or keeping an eye out for her favorite people: firemen.

Thanks for sharing Charley with us, Lori! Want to see your dog featured next? Send us a photo, their name, and a few fun facts.

Thanksgiving is one of the best days of the year for sharing food, but not everything on the table is safe for your dog. The good news? You can still make your pup part of the feast with a few simple swaps and some planning ahead.

Dogs can safely enjoy plain turkey (without skin or bones), sweet potatoes, green beans, pumpkin, and squash. Just make sure they’re cooked simply, with no salt, butter, or spices. Even a spoonful of plain cranberries is fine, as long as it’s not the sugary sauce kind.

Skip dishes like stuffing, gravy, pie, and anything with onions, garlic, or xylitol, which can be harmful. If you’re cooking, set a few ingredients aside before seasoning so your dog can join the celebration safely. After all, Thanksgiving is about family, and that definitely includes the furry ones under the table.
