Who is sharing Erin's Home?

A couple of very adorable little pups-
‍

★Klaus
(chi/goblin/CA stray energy)

★Kingsley
(7-ish, chi/corgi/angelic creature)

What treats are your pets munching on at the moment?

For her sensitive pup, Klaus:
‍
Anything fishy—cod skins, Baltic sprats, and minnows are all in regular rotation.
‍
A great source of Omega-3's DHA & EPA which are all great anti-inflamit
‍
For her angel babe, Kingsley:
‍
The gnarlier, the better—think bones, feathers, or fur.
‍
Favorite for both: Rawternative Air Dried—perfect as a training treat or travel food. Plus, Totoniks Venison Blood toppers for an extra boost of nutrient variety.

What surprising product or item do you find yourself reaching for again and again?

CBD! It’s been a go-to for mild pain, anxiety, and inflammation (a combo we know well at home). It also comes in treats or tinctures, so it’s easy to find what works best for each pet.

And then there are my West Paw Toppls—collected in every color and size. They’re hands-down the ultimate enrichment food toy.

What do you find yourself recommending again and again?

Joint support—for any animal, at any age. Ideally before issues pop up, but still incredibly helpful after. Keeping pets comfortable and easing pain is always a win.

‍Also, comfortable, ergonomic harnesses such as the BlueK9 Balance Harness, that allow proper mobility. It can take a couple of fittings to find the perfect match for each dog, but once you do—it’s absolutely worth it!
