![[ad] Big news! We recently found out when Perry's real birthday is... May 1st! We got him as a rescue 3 years ago and we used his adoption date as his bday (Jan 17th), but we recently scanned his microchip at the vet and it came back with his actual bday. For some reason, this makes me very excited, and now this spoiled pup will get TWO birthday celebrations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Part of that is finding another gift... Well, Popular Perry over here was gifted these delish, hemp-infused treats (+ nifty bandana!) from @apawthecarypets! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They help with anxiety and pain so I figured we would try them out. Perry is an anxious dog (from his rough upbringing) and suffers from severe environmental allergies during spring/summer - his skin gets quite inflamed and painful at times, even on his medication. Perry loves these treats and will walk around sniffing for them when he wants one (up high on the kitchen table). He can be picky, so that says a lot. I hope they help his skin discomfort a bit and if not, well, they're a tasty bday treat anyway. Happy early birthday, Per-Bear!
