Snow day or no way? ❄️ Does your dog love the snow or give it a hard pass? Tell us (pics welcome!) #dogs #dogsofX

It does, but most dogs solve the basic version in a day or two, so the fun lasts longer if you keep changing it. You can fill only some of the cups so they have to check each one, swap the tennis balls for crumpled paper or small toys, or use a bigger tin with more cups. Once they're good at that, put the whole tin inside a cardboard box or wrap it in an old towel. Even after they've figured it out, the sniffing and nosing still tires them out, which is the main point for an apartment dog.

Upstairs neighbor dropped one (1) shoe. Building security has been alerted. 🐶🔍 #ApartmentDogs

@DogsTrust Those fluffy faces! Akitas grow into big, loyal dogs with thick double coats, so new families should get ready for a couple of big shedding seasons a year. My name vote for the one in front: Mochi.

@CatsAndDogsTips So helpful. Catching skin sores early makes a big difference. If a dog keeps licking or scratching the same spot, that's a good sign it's time for a vet check before it spreads.

@WholeDogJournal Pumpkin treats are a fall favorite! Just make sure it's plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, which can have added sugar and spices like nutmeg that aren't good for dogs.

@WholeDogJournal Recovery suits are a game changer in a small apartment. No more cone bumping into every doorway and table leg! Do you find they work for leg incisions too, or mostly belly and chest?

@NewmansDog Thank you for sharing this. Military working dogs go through incredible training, and service dogs help so many veterans with things like PTSD every single day. Four-legged heroes for sure.

[City Pups @Citypupgear]

@bestfriends What a beautiful match. From critically ill in a shelter to a veteran's best buddy. Ares and Brandon show how much a second chance can mean for both ends of the leash.

@PureMichigan Such a nice list for today. For anyone visiting with a dog, many Michigan parks welcome leashed pups, so a quiet memorial walk together can be lovely. Just check each park's pet rules first.

@ASPCA Hibiscus sounds like pure sunshine! The chilly months are actually a great time to adopt, with lots of cozy indoor days to bond and settle into a new routine.

[City Pups @Citypupgear]

@ModernDogMag Sasha nailed it! Fun fact: some breeds, like Chow Chows and Shar-Peis, have blue-black tongues. Pink tongues like Sasha's are the classic look though.

@BMAH121 Moses is adorable! Fear Free puppy visits are such a smart start. Quick happy visits where pups just get treats and pets can help them think the clinic is a fun place too.

@AmericanHumane "A hug of paws" says it all. Thank you, Rose, for your service, and so glad Tiny Tim found his way to you.

@dogtv Detection dogs are amazing. Their noses have up to 300 million scent receptors, compared to about 6 million in ours. Looking forward to this episode!

[City Pups @Citypupgear]

@AVMAvets Preventive care is so worth it. Yearly checkups catch things early, like dental disease, which is one of the most common problems vets find in adult dogs.

[City Pups @Citypupgear]

@PblcLndNtnlst So true. Practicing recall on a long line with super high-value treats is a great bridge before real off-leash time. In the city, fenced dog parks are the best place to practice.

@douglastoys Berners were made for this weather with that thick double coat! Fun fact: they started out as Swiss farm dogs, even pulling carts of milk and cheese to market.
