OH HEY.

We didn't see you there...

...we were just showing our large friend here how clean our teefers are after celebrating Pet Dental Health Month, but more on that laters on the menjay. We've got some very important business to discuss with you first: 

ST. PATRICK - THE PATRON SAINT OF PATS

known for leaving no dog unpatted. On the 17th of March we honor him along with good bois and gurls everywhere with an entire day dedicated to pats. We recommend getting lots of practice in before the big day. In other very important (& way more exciting) news

Dirty mouth?
Dirty mouth?

Periodontal disease is the most common dental condition in dogs. By the time your pup is 3 years old, they will likely have some early evidence of periodontal disease, which will only worsen with age if preventive measures aren’t taken. Periodontal disease doesn’t just affect your pet’s mouth. Other health problems found in association with periodontal disease include liver, kidney, and heart muscle changes. The treatment of periodontal disease involves a thorough dental cleaning and radiographs may be needed to determine the severity of the disease.

 PSST! Don't forget, C.C. breaks down how to brush your dog's teeth over on WDU YOUTUBE.

What We're Binge [Drinking] This Month

THIS BUD'S FOR YOU🍺
(NOT for Buddy)


Why we ❤️ it:

During this oh holiest month of celebratory drinking holidays we're giving you some floofy cocktail recipes to try for yourself. While these drinks are certainly more fun when shared with friends, please only share them with your human cohorts... these dogtails are not Fido-friendly.

🍹 THE REGAL BEAGLE
  • 1.5 oz vodka
  • 2 lime wedges
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 5 oz grapefruit juice
  • Splash dry white wine

Muddle lime with honey and add ice. Pour vodka and grapefruit juice over the top and add a splash of wine. Stir a bit. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
 

🍹 THE COLORADO BULLDOG
  • 1.25 oz Vodka
  • .75 oz Kahlúa
  • 1/4 c whole milk or half-and-half
  • Splash of Coca-Cola

Mix vodka, Kahlua, and milk one at a time in an old-fashioned glass 2/3 full of cubed ice. Top with a splash of coke. Serve this dog cocktail with Stir-Stick.

🍹 THE PINK POODLE
  • 1.5 oz. vanilla vodka
  • Splash of Grenadine syrup
  • 7-Up® soda

Pour the vanilla vodka and a splash of grenadine over ice and then fill the rest of the glass with 7-up. Top with a cherry for the finale.
 

🍹 BICHON FRISE COCKTAIL
  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1 oz. St-Germain elderflower liqueur
  • 2 oz. ruby red grapefruit juice
  • 1 lemon wedge
