I’ve always enjoyed summer BBQs, but I used to question whether there was anything from the grill my dog could safely share

I used to wonder if apples were actually a healthy treat for dogs, so I looked into it before giving them to my own pup. What I discovered surprised me a bit.

I’ll admit, I didn’t think much about blood pressure when it came to my dog at first. It always felt like something that applied more to people than pets. But after a routine vet visit where it was checked, I realized how closely healthy blood pressure is tied to a dog’s overall well-being.

I’ll be honest before I really started paying attention to my dog’s health, I had no idea what TPR even meant. Temperature, pulse, and respiration sounded like something only vets needed to worry about. It wasn’t until I noticed small changes in my dog’s behavior that I realized how much those basic numbers could say about his overall well-being.

I used to think hypothermia in dogs showed up in obvious, dramatic ways violent shivering or sudden collapse. It wasn’t until I experienced it firsthand that I realized how subtle the earliest signs can be. On a cold walk, my dog began moving more slowly, falling behind, and lifting his paws as if the chill was bothering him more than usual.
