Get ready to roll up your sleeves and give your furry friend's house some much-needed TLC because July is officially Dog House Repair Month! This month-long holiday was created to remind pet owners to check and maintain their dog's shelter, ensuring it provides a safe and comfortable living space for our loyal companions. It's the perfect time to spruce up their little home with new toys, decorations, and maybe even add some extra insulation for those hot summer days. Let's show our love for our four-legged friends by making sure they have the best place to call their own.
