Seasonal Must-Knows!
Being a Conscious Companion is a role that we encourage all animal guardians to embrace, 365 days a year. Whether it's the 4th of July, Hanukkah, Halloween, Christmas, New Year's Eve, or any other festivity in between, we need to be prepared, aware, and compassionate towards our animal companions, and their individual needs. Below are a few free resources to help you do just that! We strive for Good Vibes year round!
