advocacy
Welcome to the Advocacy section, where we cheer on the everyday habits that help our pets live their best (and fluffiest) lives. Here, we talk about why leashes keep adventures safe, how good manners make your dog everyone’s favorite neighbor, and why proper care — think good food, regular exercise, and the occasional nail trim bribery — matters more than you’d think. A little effort goes a long way toward a happier, healthier sidekick.
