January is Walk Your Dog Month, and it’s the perfect time to brush up on cold-weather safety.�Before heading out, always check the wind chill—it can make temperatures feel much colder for your dog’s paws, ears, and nose.�Short, frequent walks + proper gear = a safer winter adventure.

If pets had New Year’s resolutions, we’re pretty sure they’d look like this:
🐶 I will only bark at important things… like leaves.
🐱 I promise to sit on fewer laptops… maybe.
🐰 I will stop pretending the vacuum is my mortal enemy.
🐾 I will absolutely, definitely, totally not eat things I find on the floor.

Your turn!
What resolution would YOUR pet make for 2026? 😂👇

Finish this sentence:
“In 2026, my pet promises to…”
We’ll go first: …finally let the vet check their teeth without giving the stink eye. 😼
