Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Are you feeling lucky, pup? St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow, and while the true history of this holiday involves less leprechauns and more patron sainthood, there is no shortage of fun to be had with your pet!

Here are a few wee things to keep in mind.?;)

·??????The shamrock plant is toxic to dogs, so be careful if your celebrations include very realistic decor.

·??????Everyone knows it’s bad luck not to wear green on St. Patty’s Day, and that includes your pet! Accessorize with these shamrock print collars and bandanas or check out this guinea pig leprechaun costume for peak cuteness!

·??????While many St. Patrick's Day festivities are canceled or modified due to Covid, that doesn’t have to stop the fun! Find a pet-friendly Irish pub and celebrate with friends over a socially distanced pint.
