Booooooooooo! Scared ya?

Well, we’re pretty sure we didn’t scare you. But, when the air is turning crisp, the leaves are starting to fall, and you can hear a light howl when the wind blows – ooooooooooooook, that’s scary! And, you know what that means… it’s almost time for Halloween!!!…

What is a fun way to celebrate the arrival of Fall with your pooch?

Journeying on long dog walk with fresh autumn air sounds like the perfect activity to us... so much so that we sponsored a free, fun pet activity last weekend in Downtown Los Angeles at the Autumn Lights LA multimedia art extravaganza. Dogs and their humans were invited to participate in a glow-in-the-dark GLO DOG Pet Parade as led by…

Supplementing your pet's diet can be relatively simple in practice, and  highly effective for their optimal health, for…
