🥛 Contrary to what's been depicted in Disney movies and cartoons for decades, adult cats shouldn't drink cow's milk! As cats mature, they stop producing the lactase enzyme needed to break down lactose, so consuming milk can lead to gastrointestinal distress. (Raw goat milk is a great, nutrient-rich option for cats that is more easily digestible).

The best training is lead with compassion 💕

Let's talk omega 3 for dogs and cats! Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial in our pets' diet because their bodies cannot produce enough on their own.

Our first group class filled up quick! I had a request for morning classes - so let's give it a try!

All non-reactive dogs are welcome! I run my classes a little differently - where we work at each dogs level, if that's settling, basic obedience, more advanced obedience, or whatever your specific dog needs a little work on! Along with learning all the ins and outs of dogs brains AND most importantly - learning to love the dog in front of you for all their "Ruff" moments🥰

Spots are limited to 6 dogs! Your spot must be paid in full in order to reserve your spot! Sign up here - https://averygemk9.hbportal.co/public/6988c400469350003bf38634

NOW OFFERING GROOMING & RED LIGHT SERVICES!!!

We are SO excited to add this as an option for you and your fur friend! Grooming services and Red Light reservations are to be booked online to reserve your spot! www.averygemk9.com

Our groomer is currently enrolled in school to become a certified groomer. She will be available for these discounted services until she completes her certification! At that time - we will adjust the schedule and pricing to reflect a more consistent flow moving forward.

We hope to provide a therapeutic and calming atmosphere to help all dogs feel more comfortable. Our Red Light Therapy is an amazing addition for dogs who could use a little more of a therapeutic and relaxation vibe. *RLT is not intended to prevent, cure or reverse any underlying health conditions and speaking with your vet before using is encouraged.

FYI: Feeding your pet raw food is no more risky than preparing raw meat for your human family's dinner! 🥩 Raw pet food should be handled with the same safety measures as preparing raw meat for your own consumption, such as washing your hands before and after handling and keeping the food at safe temperatures.

Not switching up your pet's diet can impact their health 😱 Rotating between different proteins or at least adding a variety of foods in as treats or toppers is crucial for stronger digestion, immunity, and more!

Can dogs eat pork? 🐖 While the ham on our dinner table should never be fed to our pets, pet foods that utilize high-quality pork as a protein source are a great choice for several reasons. Plus, pork is highly palatable and is usually loved by both dogs and picky cats!
