Good Boy Dog Beer
Houston bar owners have launched a line of non-alcoholic beer for dogs, containing vitamins and minerals to supplement their regular food. No word on whether or not there’s a green variety for this weekend, but I suppose you could just add food coloring?

Treat Ball Game
We often recommend keeping your dog mentally stimulated during the day if you are away from home. It keeps the dog from engaging in boredom behaviors like chewing, digging, and excessive barking. Here’s an innovative idea to make him or her think about where the next meal is coming from.
Put a few pieces of kibble or treats in some, but not all, of the sections of a muffin tin, then cover every section with a tennis ball. The dog must remove the balls to find the food. S/he can then play with the balls after eating.
Also good for dogs who eat too fast.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
