Surf Dog 2026 was a Roaring Success!
Sep 23, 2026 · original
Thousands of people showed up to Del Mar Dog Beach to watch over 60 dogs take to the waves as part of Helen Woodward Animal Center’s 21st annual Surf Dog Surf-a-Thon. The annual contest saw pups of all shapes, sizes, and ages take to the water and show off their special bond with their human. Unfortunately, due to rough waves caused by Tropical Storm Norbert, the contest had to conclude early, with the Best in Surf being decided by point tally rather than one final 10 minute surfing heat. Despite the somewhat anticlimactic ending, spectators and PAWticipants alike both reported having an incredible time down at Del Mar Dog Beach. This year’s Surf Dog Surf-a-Thon saw several special contestants take the waves. Rusty an 11 year old miniature pinscher made his triumphant return to competitive dog surfing after suffering one of the worst year’s a dog could face. He struggled with cancer for
How to Tell if Your Pet Has Allergies
Sep 22, 2026 · original
How to Tell if Your Pet Has Allergies A dog that won’t stop scratching, a cat that’s suddenly overgrooming, watery eyes that show up every spring… allergy symptoms are common but easy to mistake for something else. Pets can develop allergies just like people do, and symptoms often show up on the skin, in the ears or through digestive changes rather than sneezing. This article will cover common signs of allergies in dogs and cats, what typically triggers them, how veterinarians diagnose and treat allergies, and when it’s time to schedule a visit. Why Pets Develop Allergies A pet’s immune system can overreact to substances that are normally harmless, triggering inflammation and irritation. The main categories of pet allergies are: Environmental or seasonal allergies (pollen, mold, dust) Flea allergy dermatitis Food allergies Contact allergies (reactions to a specific material or product) A

Why Microchipping Your Dog or Cat is Important
Aug 21, 2026 · original
Why Microchipping Your Dog or Cat is Important Accidents happen: a gate left open, a spooked dog during fireworks, a cat that slips outside, this is why microchipping your pet is so important. Microchipping your pet is one of the most reliable ways to reunite a lost pet with its owner, especially when a collar or tag is lost, removed, or never worn. In this blog, we will cover how microchips work, whether microchipping is safe, the process for dogs and cats, and what owners need to do after the chip is placed to keep it useful. What Is a Pet Microchip and How Does It Work? A pet microchip is a small, rice-grain-sized device implanted just under a pet’s skin that stores a unique ID number. A handheld scanner reads the number, which is then matched to the owner’s contact information in a pet recovery database. A microchip is not a GPS device and cannot track a pet’s location in real time.
