Real Talk 🗣️Sometimes I get overwhelmed with all of the reels and social media posts that tell me I need to be doing x, y and z to give my dog the best life (things like enrichment activities, exercises for joint longevity, daily brushing/ oral care and even taking your dogs on big adventures) and it can make me feel like a below average dog mom- like I am not doing enough for my dogs- which can be really overwhelming and cause a lot of guilt. So incase you’ve missed a few walks lately or haven’t had as much time as you’d like to dedicate to your pooch, just know that doesn’t make you a bad parent and they love you and the life you give them unconditionally 🤍
