Dogs use body language to communicate. While all dogs are different, a relaxed dog will often:⁣ ⁣ 🐶 Have a neutral, wagging tail⁣ 🐶 Have soft eyes ⁣ 🐶 Cock their head in an interested way if you talk to them ⁣ This usually means they are happy to interact with you!

Want to bring out your cat's most playful side? 😼 Try rotating their toys on a regular basis so they're always playing with a ‘new’ toy. Keep things fresh and exciting for your cat by storing all toys out of sight when they’re not being played with. 🐾
