Join the PawliBar Community Conversation

PawliBar has been getting so much love and support from all of you, and I can’t thank you enough. 

But we want to give back in our own way, too. After caring for over 2,000 dogs at our partner shelter, we’ve learned countless lessons about health, behavior, and daily care.

We’re not veterinarians, and we’ll never claim to be. But there are so many little challenges in raising a dog — the ones you might not run to the vet for — where our shelter experience might actually help.

I recently came across a Reddit post where someone confessed, “I don’t like my dog anymore, and I feel guilty.” The whole thread was filled with people struggling with behavior, bonding, or costly health surprises.

Reading that struck me deeply, because we’ve seen so much of it first-hand at the shelter. Many rescues arrive carrying stress and trauma. They bark more, pace more, struggle to settle, or eat in ways that upset their stomachs. Even after adoption, it can be tough for families to understand what their new dog is going through.

But with patience, routine, and a few simple care strategies, we’ve watched dogs transform.

That’s why we want to start sharing more of these insights, right here on our blog and through our WhatsApp newsletter. 

And most importantly — we’d love to hear from you. What questions or struggles are you facing with your own dog? Drop them in the comments below, and we’ll do our best to answer based on what we’ve learned from our shelter journey.

Thank you again for being part of this community. Together, we can make life healthier and happier for every pup.
