🐾 Portion Control: Why Breed & Weight Matter!

Did you know that your dog’s breed and weight play a big role in how many treats they should have during training? 🍖 Giving the right amount keeps training fun and your pup healthy!

🐶 Small breeds or dogs under 20 lbs need fewer, smaller treats to avoid extra calories.

🐕 Medium to large breeds can handle a bit more, but balance is key for every size.

⭐ Always check treat packaging for portion guidance and adjust based on your dog’s weight and activity level.

💡 Remember, treats are rewards—not meals! Too many can lead to weight gain, even for active pups.

Start practicing mindful portions today and watch your dog thrive with every training session!

Save this post for your next training day, and share with a fellow dog lover who wants the best for their pup!

🐾 Use positive training for trust and safety.
🐾 Walks and play keep minds sharp!
🐾 Safe spaces help dogs feel secure.

Share these tips to help more pups thrive!

🍯 Natural Remedies for Common Dog Issues

Mother Nature provides powerful solutions for everyday dog health concerns.

At Pawsrus, we integrate natural remedies alongside veterinary care to support our rescue dogs' healing journeys.

Here are 4 safe, natural remedies to try at home:

🥥 Coconut Oil: Supports skin health, soothes dry patches, and aids digestion (start with small amounts)

🍯 Raw Honey: Natural antibacterial properties help with minor wounds and coughs (local honey is best)

🌿 Chamomile Tea: Calms anxious dogs and soothes upset stomachs (cooled, in small amounts)

🧊 Aloe Vera: Relieves itchy skin and minor burns (use pet-safe, gel-only products)

⚠️ Important: Always consult your vet before introducing new remedies, especially if your dog has existing health conditions or takes medications.

What natural remedies have worked for your pup? Share your experience in the comments!
