Should you ever doubt your pup’s love of cat food, just watch what they do around the litter box.

May 30th is Memorial Day, which means that a lot of folks reading this probably already have plans to attend (or host) a party in the very near future. Before you drag your grill out of your garage or decide which stars-and-stripes shirt to wear to the company picnic, though, let’s take a moment to talk about safety; more specifically, safety for dogs.
