Care notes from House of Paws
Every dog is an individual, but breed gives us a starting point for understanding what your dog needs. We see dogs from every group at our Nanuet home and tailor care to each one. If you're researching a breed and wondering whether it's a fit for your family, ask us — we're happy to share what we've seen.
