Dental health is important all year round, but February is National Dental Awareness Month. Visit pawquarterly.com and find out ways to keep your pet's teeth clean. Sometimes it is as easy as diet!

One of the biggest myths out there is that our pets need to eat dry kibble to keep their teeth clean. Aside from crunchy things NOT keeping teeth clean, our cats and dogs don't really chew their food when they eat. Their mouths are designed to rip and swallow, not chew.

Looking for something to do indoors in these frigid temperatures. Have some fun burning some mental energy with your dog with a few of these brain games!

Brain games are a great way to provide mental stimulation, encourage curiosity, develop problem-solving skills, and build confidence. They challenge your dog mentally, and are just as exhausting as any physical exercise you do.

With holiday celebrations ramping up we could all benefit from brushing up on our impulse control skills. In the article published in the Fall edition of PQ Emily talks about how we can harness our dog's instincts in positive ways through different outlets and enrichment activities.

They don’t naturally stay still, recall, ignore distractions, focu...
