Happy National Dog Day!

Here at Spilman Dentistry, we love our dogs! Dogs are always ready to share their unconditional love with their humans. We’re so grateful for our pups, and that’s why we’re excited to celebrate National Dog Day! 

Meet Dr. Spilman’s two little dogs, Buddy (14) and Baxter (13). Dr. Spilman never thought that his family would be able to have a dog due to his wife Heather‘s allergies and her asthma.  Fortunately, after a little time spent searching, they finally found two poodles that were completely hypoallergenic, and of course, Dr. Spilman and Heather fell completely in love and have been ever since. 

Life with Buddy and Baxter is pretty special! It doesn’t matter how hard the day was because when Dr. Spilman and Heather finally get home they are instantly greeted by two wagging tails and are cheered up! Nothing’s better than just relaxing and watching some TV with Buddy and Baxter by their side. Though sometimes they are a little mischievous. Baxter loves dirty socks and will search through all of the laundry baskets until he finds them! 

For Baxter and Buddy, every day is National Dog Day at Dr. Spilman’s house. They are both so spoiled. 

If you are considering introducing a dog into your family, Dr. Spilman has some advice for you to consider. He suggests thinking about your current lifestyle and if you truly have the time and energy it takes to fully commit to being a pet owner. If you’re not ready to spend a lot of time taking care of your new friend then you are doing the dog a disservice. That being said, there are multiple upsides to having a dog in your life! A really good dog can go from being just a pet to an actual member of the family! 

We hope all the dog lovers out there have a great National Dog Day!
