🐾National Pet Wellness Month

🧡 What Is National Pet Wellness Month?

Each October, National Pet Wellness Month reminds pet parents everywhere to slow down and focus on the overall wellbeing of their furry family members. From shiny coats to calm minds, wellness is about more than routine baths or vet visits — it’s about the connection and care that make dogs feel safe, loved, and thriving.

At Scrappy to the Rescue®, our mission is simple: to nurture that connection through premium, botanical-powered grooming products that care for your dog’s coat, skin, and soul — while giving back to rescues that save lives every day.

🌿 Why Wellness Matters for Dogs

A dog’s wellbeing depends on balance — between physical health, emotional happiness, and environmental comfort. Just like humans, dogs need regular care to keep their skin healthy, coats glossy, joints flexible, and minds stimulated.

✨ Daily Habits for a Happier Pup

Wellness extends beyond the tub. Try these Scrappy-approved rituals throughout National Pet Wellness Month and beyond:

Brush Regularly – Brushing distributes natural oils, stimulates circulation, and keeps tangles away.

Hydrate Generously – Fresh water aids skin elasticity and overall metabolism.

Feed for Shine – Omega-3-rich foods and supplements keep coats glossy and joints strong.

Play Every Day – Mental stimulation reduces stress and builds confidence.

Routine Vet Visits – Preventive care saves pain (and cost) later.

Positive Touch – Massage your dog’s back, ears, or paws — it deepens your bond and helps spot issues early.

Scrappy himself (our rescue-turned-CEO!) is proof that love transforms everything. He went from scared and scruffy to confident and glowing — the perfect example of where happy tails begin®.

🌍 Caring With Purpose

At Scrappy to the Rescue®, wellness extends beyond individual dogs. We donate 20 % of profits to rescue organisations that provide second chances for pups still waiting for their forever homes.
