From celebrities' pampered pets to the safety of feeding bananas to your furry friend, this article covers everything you need to know about dogs!

Dogs have taken the spotlight in Hollywood, with celebrities showcasing their pampered pooches hobnobbing with the elite. From hanging out with the Kardashians to mingling with the royals, these nepo dogs are living their best lives this summer. But amidst the glitz and glam, experts remind pet owners about the importance of moderation when it comes to feeding dogs bananas as an occasional treat. While bananas are generally safe, it's crucial to offer them in small pieces and not as a regular part of their diet.

Wondering about other fruits that are safe for your furry companion? Experts emphasize the need to be cautious, as some fruits can be toxic to dogs. Bananas, however, fall in the safe category, providing a healthy snack option when given in moderation. As the debate over fruit safety rages on, pet owners can refer to guides like this one to ensure their pup's well-being.

In a bid to address overcrowding concerns, ACCT Philly has launched the "Foster Frenzy" program, incentivizing foster families with support kits to care for animals in need. This initiative not only aids in alleviating shelter overcrowding but also gives animals a chance for a temporary home before finding their forever families. Meanwhile, as households welcome new babies, the impact on family dogs is a topic of interest for experts. Dr. Jessica Oliva highlights the scarcity of research on how the transition to parenthood affects the attachment between families and their canine companions.

For dog lovers seeking artistic inspiration, the "Dog Days of Summer" exhibition offers a heartwarming display of artwork dedicated to man's best friend. Featuring portraits created between 1915 and the present, the exhibition captures the timeless bond between humans and dogs through various artistic styles.

Did you know that bananas can provide a healthy snack alternative for dogs in moderation? Also, fostering programs like "Foster Frenzy" play a vital role in helping shelter animals find temporary homes. Consider supporting such initiatives in your community for a paw-sitive impact on furry friends in need!
