Hello and welcome to the third edition of Paw Quarterly, a publication about, and dedicated entirely to, our tail wagging life-mates, dogs. The snow has finally cleared and we’re into that sweet spot before the sweltering and dry “dog days of summer” overwhelm us. The dog parks are greening up and the mosquitos aren’t yet bad enough to make every trip outside a grueling ordeal. For dog people like us, these are the true dog days of summer, perfect for getting out and spending some quality time with our furry besties.
It’s also time for us at PQ to shift our focus to the more summery, outdoor aspects of dog ownership and friendship. In this issue you’ll find great articles and tips on summer safety tips, cat grooming, disc sports, and training equipment. And that’s not all. We’ve also got information on adding raw food to your dog’s diet, how to read canine body language, motivation and drive, and an amazing and very personal article about living with and learning from, a reactive dog.
