Welcome to Bay Woof, October 2026
Healthy, Woofy, and Wise!
Our dogs’ wellness is the product of all sorts of things, just as it is for us humans. Good nutrition, cognitive enrichment, exercise, hanging out with running buddies – all these are part of an ideal plan for health and happiness, which, in your dog’s view, should also include an abundance of treats, pats, and tummy rubs, of course.
This month’s Bay Woof explores a variety of health-related topics including raw feeding, canine mental health, prepping for calmer vet visits, and understanding your dog’s need for sociability. As usual, the issue is packed with other useful tips and just plain fun stuff. Don’t miss Ren Volpe’s piece on the pros and cons of teaching your pup to potty on command. Or this month’s Nose for News item on the brand new Girl Scout cookies for dogs.
Meanwhile, we hope you and your pup are staying safe and happy this October. Among other things, that means no chocolate Halloween candy (and yes, we see you begging - it’s still a no).
Here’s to your health and plenty of fall frolics!
