✨ Bonus Day Recap — Royal Canin 2025 ✨
It’s no secret this show makes me emotional.
Every single year, before the chaos even begins, I take a quiet lap around the convention center… just to take it all in. The lights, the energy, the best dogs in the country. And somewhere inside me, that little girl who just wanted to help people and animals gets very, very soft.
Because somehow… this became my life.
And this community became my family.
Today—Bonus Day— aka the day before official Day 1 of showing-was the perfect reminder of why we do what we do. My team showed up with so much heart, skill, and joy. Watching Dr. Morgan step into adjusting dogs after three years of training with me… surreal. My entire staff? Absolute rockstars. I’m so proud of every single one of them.
And then you showed up.
Our Farmhouse Fam.
My cheeks literally hurt from how much I smiled today. Seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, watching your dogs melt into the table or dance their way into our booth… it filled me up in a way I can’t explain.
Thank you for trusting us with your dogs, your people, your bodies, your energy—and ultimately, your performance.
You do have options, and it means the world that you choose us to help keep you in the ribbons.
Here’s to another unforgettable week at the largest dog show in America.
Here’s to healing, connection, joy… and the community that made all of this possible.
-Dr. Jillian
