September 2025 Archive: Real Tips for Dog Lovers

Welcome to the September roundup from Guardian of All Wagging Tails. In the past month we tackled three hot topics that keep pet owners up at night. Whether you’re bringing home a new puppy, trying to calm a lonely dog, or just curious about cat food brands, we’ve got clear answers you can use right away.

Getting a Puppy: What No One Tells You

Our "What No One Tells You About Getting a Puppy" post pulls back the curtain on the messy first 30 days. You’ll learn the hidden costs – from vet visits to extra toys – and why sleep will be a luxury. We break down a realistic daily schedule, give tips for house‑training without drama, and outline a simple 30‑day plan that keeps both you and the pup sane. Think of it as a cheat sheet for new owners who want to avoid common pitfalls.

Leaving the TV On for Dogs: Does It Work?

If you’ve ever wondered whether a TV can soothe a dog left alone, our latest article gives the straight‑up answer. We looked at research that compares TV noise to music, and we list the types of shows that actually help (slow‑moving nature scenes, soft‑spoken narration). You’ll also find volume recommendations and the situations where the TV won’t make a dent – like severe separation anxiety that needs professional help.

Purina vs. Fancy Feast: Same Parent Company?

Cat owners asked, we answered: Are Purina and Fancy Feast owned by the same company? The short answer is yes – both sit under Nestlé Purina’s umbrella. We trace the history of each brand, explain why the ownership matters for ingredient sourcing, and what it means for your cat’s diet. Knowing the corporate link helps you compare nutrition labels and decide if you want to stick with one brand or mix it up.

Each of these posts aims to give you practical, no‑fluff advice you can try today. Got a puppy at home? Start with the 30‑day plan to set realistic expectations. Leaving your dog alone? Test a calming TV channel for a few hours and watch their reaction. Curious about cat food labels? Check the ingredient list and see how Nestlé Purina’s standards apply.

We update our archive regularly, so come back each month for fresh insights. Got a question that wasn’t covered? Drop us a comment or send a note – we love hearing from fellow pet fans. Until next time, keep those tails wagging and those paws healthy!
