Hello Yogi-dog family,
With June 12th marking the beginning of Animal Rights Awareness Week, we’re encouraging our pawsome Yogi-dog family to get educated on the importance of animal rights. According to PetPedia.co, more than 100 million animals suffer abuse nationally every year. The Animal Rights Awareness Week campaign focuses on advocating for the maltreatment of all animals and awareness of animal use for research and testing. In 1991, In Defense of Animals founded the week to educate animal lovers on the proper care and protection of our furry companions and their habitats. Here at Yogi-dog, we have a deep appreciation for animals daily, but this week we have an extra excuse to spend more time advocating for our pawsome friends! We are excited to celebrate this PAW-some week, and below are some ways you can support this movement! 1). Determine if the animal products you currently use are natural and safe for your companion- just like our Yogi-dog flavors! 2). Support spaying, neutering, conservation, and preservation efforts in your area and around the globe. 3). Volunteer at a local shelter and always consider adoption. Did you know many local pet retailers partner with local resources to host on-site adoptions? Yogi-dog is excited to celebrate this week with you, and thank you for your incredible support! We’d love to see what you and your pet(s) are doing! Post a picture of how you’re celebrating Animal Rights Awareness Week, or share your canine companion enjoying Yogi-dog as a daily food topper or healthy treat right off the spoon! Use #AnimalRightsAwarenessWeek and tag us @yogidogyogurt for a chance for your snapshot to be posted on our page! If you have any comments or suggestions, email us at dee@yogi-dog.com!

Hello Yogi- Dog family,
If you're looking for a way to support and show love to all the furry friends out there, we have the perfect excuse to do so! On April 30th our Yogi-dog family has the opportunity to celebrate National Adopt a Shelter Pup day! This day was created to help raise awareness about all the dogs that are stuck in the shelter system. According to the ASPCA there are approximately 6.3 million dogs and cats that enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year! These pets want nothing more than to be adopted into a loving home and it is crucial that we use our voice to help accelerate the adoptions and slow down the amount of fur babies entering shelters! How can we celebrate National Adopt a Pet Day? Visit a local shelter Most shelters will allow you to stop in to visit all the pets that are currently staying there. There is nothing more exciting to a pup than seeing a new friendly face ready to greet them! Some of these pets have had difficult backgrounds and the more social interaction they get, the more likely they are to be comfortable around people which will result in a faster adoption! Warning: It will be nearly impossible not to fall in love with at least one if not all of these fur babies so get ready to have your heart strings pulled! Donate to a Shelter Since a lot of shelters are nonprofits/ run by volunteers, donating is an amazing way to make sure the shelter is providing all of the things these pets need! They can never have enough blankets, dog beds, toys, treats, food etc..! Post adoptable pets on social media There is no better way to get the word out there about adoptable pets than social media! Whether you took some pics from your visit or found pictures online, posting to your social media accounts could find these pups the perfect PAWrent! You never know who is looking for a furry friend and just one post could find a shelter pup a FURever home! Adopt a Pet! If you or someone you know is looking for a furry addition to their family always consider adoption first! There are so many amazing pets in shelters all over the U.S.! Helping find a FURever home for these pets is life changing to them and the bond shared between an owner and their adopted pet is irreplaceable! Visiting shelter websites, social media pages or in person will help find you the perfect fit for your family! Yogi-Dog is excited to celebrate this holiday with you! Post a pic of how you decide to celebrate National Adopt A Shelter Pup day and tag us along with using the hashtag #Adoptashelterpupday for a chance to be posted on our page! If you have a comment or suggestions, email us! Dee@yogi-dog.com. Hello Yogi- Dog family,
Did you know both humans and dogs experience a release in oxytocin levels when engaging in physical affection? According to the National Library of Medicine, positive social interaction between animals and their owners surge these hormone levels for both parties, increasing emotional state. The “love” or “cuddle” hormone that PAW-rents experience when petting their pup is the same hormone that’s amplified when engaging in connection between parent and child (which makes sense because we see our fur-babies as one of our own)! As gratifying as this is for us, our pets benefit from this as well! Every day seems like National Hug Your Dog Day for our Yogi-dog family but on April 10th we have an extra excuse to spend even more time cuddling our beloved furry friends! National Hug Your Dog day is a unique day to not only treat our pups but to celebrate all the unconditional love that our dogs give us! These tail-waggers see no fault or flaw in us and never fail to show us how important we are to them- even on our bad days! Dogs have the ability to perform tasks that humans aren't capable of. How PAW-some! These tasks include, but are not limited to, emotional support, service and assistant work, the ability to sniff out danger for our safety and more. Dogs also provide companionship, encourage physical activity, reduce anxiety, and so many other amazing things that we should never take for granted! Yogi-dog is excited to celebrate this PAW-some howl-iday and we are looking forward to seeing how you decide to celebrate with your pups! Post a pic with you and your pup cuddling, enjoying the day together or indulging in Yogi-dog's delicious flavors! Share a pup with your cup! Trust us, you’ll think it is a paw-some treat too!

Hello Yogi-dogs Parents and Pups!
Happy Thanksgiving! This year, we are incredibly thankful for our amazing Yogi-Dog Family! We are also grateful for our adorable dogs! The best part of Thanksgiving is spending it with our loved ones and, of course, the food! During the holidays, it might be tempting to feed your pets leftovers, but we’re here to remind you not to fall for the puppy dog eyes! Since we treat our dogs like family, we know you do as well. Unfortunately, because most Thanksgiving foods are seasoned, they can be dangerous for dogs. Instead of treating your pets to unsafe leftovers, you can treat them to Yogi-Dog Yogurt instead. You can even add an extra scoop of Yogi-Dog to show your pup how thankful you are for them! Available in three pawsome flavors, Original, Peanut Butter Cream, and Cheddar cheese, Yogi-Dog is a delicious and safe snack for your pup to enjoy on the holidays! We’d love to see pictures of you and your pup enjoying Thanksgiving together! Share photos to Dee@yogi-dog.com to be featured on our page!
Hello Yogi-dog family!
It has been a little while since our Yogi-dog fest but the PAW-some stories keep rolling in! One of the most important missions of Yogi-dog, aligned with providing a healthy food topper and treat right off the spoon for dogs, is supporting and giving back to our local animal shelters. At Yogi-dog fest, we had a total of 5 animal rescues on site- 3 of which brought adoptables! We are SO happy to announce that some lucky pups found their FUR-ever families at Yogi-dog fest! Our rescue partners for the event were: Rescue Dogs Rock NYC, Jersey Shore Animal Center, Jersey Girls Animal Rescue, Fund A Bull, Rescue Ridge, and Pitties & Pals! We are happy to say that there were pups that got adopted onsite from Rescue Dog Rock NYC and we would LOVE to share their happy ending stories with you! Two brothers, York and Abbott, are Feist mixes that were rescued from a kill shelter in Georgia. At just 6 weeks old, they were dumped there by their owner with all their siblings and momma. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC headed down south to rescue this family before it was too late for them! Their mom, Lane, and all their other siblings were adopted; York and Abbott were the last of the family looking for their forever homes. When the duo made it to Yogi-dog fest they were a HIT! It is no wonder that these fur-babies were adopted on the spot! Sharing some paw-some photos above of the boys after they found their fur-ever homes! Are you looking to expand your fur-family this HOWL-iday season? Please email: Dee@yogi-dog.com for a FULL list of the dogs that attended our event that are still available for adoption!  Hello Yogi-dog Moms, Dads & Canines!
We LOVE any excuse to celebrate our pups- especially on the dog inspired HOWL-idays! The month of November is National Senior Pet Month! Shelters and rescues across the country hope that their senior adoptables will find their fur-ever homes this month. Together, let's spread the word and help older pets find homes together! While this month is dedicated to helping older pets find loving forever homes, it is also important to spoil our senior pets at home as well! Treat your senior pup to their favorite flavor of Yogi-dog yogurt or try out a paw-some new dog treat recipe from our website! Share a picture of your senior pets enjoying their favorite Yogi-dog inspired treat with us to be featured on our page! Submit pictures to Dee@yogi-dog.com or send them via our social media pages! Hello Yogi-dog Moms, Dads & Canines!
