  Hey guys, DuDu here! πŸ‘‹ Welcome back to the blog. Grab a coffee, because we need to talk about something painful. And I mean literally painful for your pup, and emotionally painful for your wallet. πŸ’Έ I still get tears in my eyes when I think about it. It was 2010. I had just bought these super limited-edition high-tops. I loved those shoes more than my car. I left them by the front door—big mistake. I came back 10 minutes later, and saw... snow? No. It was white foam padding. Everywhere. 😱 There sat Max, looking so proud. One shoe was completely shredded. I felt the anger rising like a volcano! πŸŒ‹ But then... he tilted his head and gave me those "I love you, Dad" eyes. πŸ₯Ί RIP to my sneakers. But that day, I learned a huge lesson about teething. 🦈 Why is my puppy acting like a Land Shark? First off, take a deep breath. Your dog isn't "bad."

  Guys, please listen to me! 🚫 I almost lost my boy Max last week, and I’m still shaking just thinking about it. I was sitting on the couch, enjoying a bowl of fruit salad, when one tiny green grape rolled off the plate.

I felt this cold pit in my stomach. With trembling hands, I called my vet. The result? Three hours in the ER and a terrifying $400 bill.

Hey guys! DuDu here. 🐾 I seriously thought my dog, Max , was broken yesterday. We came back from a long hike, and I walked into the living room to find him sleeping in a position that looked… painful. πŸ₯¨ He was twisted up, legs everywhere, but snoring like a chainsaw.

Hey guys, Dudu here. πŸ‘‹ I’ve been a dog parent for over 15 years, and I’ve seen a lot of things. But today, I need to get serious with you.
