Ultimutt Dog Care

Laughing Matter If you have a feeling your dog is smiling at you, it could be that he or she is ready for some fun.
According to a recent study of dogs at play, researchers observed a distinctive rapid panting behavior that appeared to be the equivalent of laughter in dog language. The pant was used to communicate pleasure and evoked playfulness in other dogs. The next time you play a lively game of fetch with your pup, listen closely. The panting you hear may actually be a hearty laugh.

It has been another fun week at Ultimutt! We started the week with our third in this series of training class. This class is made up of everyone's Christmas puppies, so it is both fun and challenging! But, their owners are very proud that they are learning the basic commands.
This week also kicked off our Cutest Dog Photo Contest and we've already received several entries. Check out our website to see all these cute dogs. The judges are going to have a rough time choosing! To enter your dog's photo, email Brook at Brook.Lang@ultimuttdogcare.com. The winner will receive a free spa day at Ultimutt including a day of doggie daycare (if fixed and up-to-date on shots), bath, nails, and bandanna or hair bow of choice. The owner will win an Ultimutt overnight tote bag for their dog.
Maggie and Rudy have made friends and have enjoyed playing together. Mary's mother's dog, Girlfriend, visited and made fast friends with Junior. With this weather and the weather to come we have made sure our Ultimutt's are tired when they go home! We have thrown the tennis balls for hours and they have really enjoyed chasing it.
We have a fantastic puppy who is about 15 weeks old and will probably end up weighing about 40 pounds. This puppy has had a traumatic start in her life, and is looking for a loving home. She is a good puppy and has lots of love to give. However, she will do best in a home that will allow her to be an "inside dog." She gets along great the other dogs so "brothers" and "sisters" already in the home would be a bonus.
