Discover Dog-Friendly Port Washington: Parks, Restaurants, and More

Port Washington is a small town with a lot to recommend it.

Where to adopt a dog on Long Island

At Dan’ Pet Care, we love the “adopt, don’t shop” movement for many reasons. For one thing, around 1.5 million shelter animals are killed every year in the US. Adoption is great for dogs because it keeps them out of shelters and off streets, and gives them a chance to enjoy a loving home.

If your dog isn’t food-driven, what to use for training rewards?

Most dogs will do just about anything to get their paws on a treat. However, if your dog doesn’t seem interested in treats as a reward, you might be struggling to train them. Dan’s Pet Care trainers have occasionally met dogs who don’t really care about food-based rewards.

Why is my dog eating Grass? Should I be worried?

At Dan’s Pet Care, we’ve met lots of Long Island and Brooklyn dogs who like to chow down on grass. Often, owners are unsure whether they should worry about this habit. Should they visit the vet or try to stop their dog? Or should they just chalk it up to normal dog behavior?
