Considering when to spay or neuter your pet? The best time is before they go into their first heat! 🫣

Waiting until your pet is in heat to get them spayed or neutered can be more expensive, and you may even have to wait until they are out of heat to get the procedure done.

Did you know that in many places, a retractable leash could be considered a violation of “leash laws”?

A dog is only considered to be under control if the leash is a fixed length. In other words, you have full control over the dog and are close to them at all times. A retractable leash, by its very design, extends the distance between you and your dog, making it much harder to keep them under control.

What are your thoughts on retractable leashes? Should they be banned? Share your opinion below!

Ready to get to the bottom of Tennessee’s animal laws? 🐾 In this episode of The Bark, we’re cutting through the noise to discuss what’s really happening in our state—and what it means for you and your pets.

We’re joined by special guest, local attorney Jessica Schultz, who helps us unpack everything from the rights of a citizen dealing with irresponsible pet owners to the true meaning of responsible pet ownership. We’ll explore the law, where it protects us, and where it falls short. Plus, we’ll give you actionable steps to make a real difference in your community.

Listen now to Episode 10 of The Bark: A Pet Podcast Unleashed, and empower yourself with the knowledge to create change.
