Hypoallergenic Breeds, Let's talk about it

-

  It is Christmas time, this can be a wonderful time where families are welcoming new pets into their home! I will always advocate for rescuing, but I do also understand wanting that Golden Retriever that you have always seen and is at the top of every review site ranking them the top family dog. Regardless of where your new family member comes from, some folks have allergies, and THAT is what this article is about, as I have seen unfortunately, too many times where folks adopt a new furbaby or purchases a "hypoallergenic" breed, only to succumb to allergies anyway and have to find a new home for their family member.   This one may be a tough pill to swallow, and I'm not here to upset anyone, but I am going to state this right away ......... There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. Please don't feel attacked or throw stones at me or wait for me to head to my car to come get me after the store closes lol. This is just hard to hear in the store because its a myth...

Why we chose to remove Farmina from our shelves

  I won't sugar coat it and I wont take your entire day to talk about this. Here are the key reasons why we have chosen to remove Farmina from the store.  Unannounced Recipe Changes: We and all other retailers in the United States began receiving bags with stickers over the ingredients on the bag with new ingredients.

If we didn't look further and just trusted a company that has focused on quality up until now, we wouldn't have caught what was changed. Instead of using fresh chicken for example, they began using cheaper products like dehydrated chicken. That isn't so bad in and of ...

Grooming and Frustration in Providing the Best Care Possible

  Everyone gets frustrated every once in a while. It is an unfortunate risk we take waking up every morning 🤣. The last thing that we want here at Paw of the Family is to be one of the causes of that frustration. In a service driven industry, no matter how hard we try, sometimes it is unavoidable. We do our absolute best to deliver the best customer service we can with every interaction, but sometimes, even with the best customer service, frustrations can arise from prices, booked schedules, missed appointments and associated charges, to having to shave a matted pup, to being unable to groom a pup when it is in the best interest of the dog. I want to talk about these, so that it can perhaps provide a lens into this side of the business. Each of these issues could be their own blog posts and perhaps they will in the future, but at least for now, I want to touch on these at least in a synopsis and without making the post too much to read. First , I want to discuss price. We are not ...
