🐾 2026 GRAH Pet Photo Contest Winners! 🐾

A huge congratulations to our Top 5 Dog and Top 5 Cat winners of the 2026 GRAH Pet Photo Contest! 🎉 We loved seeing all of your amazing pets!

Thank you to everyone who submitted photos, voted, and helped make this year’s contest so much fun. We received so many wonderful entries, and we wish we could use all the pictures!

Be sure to join us in congratulating our winners in the comments! We can’t wait to do it all again next year. 🐶🐱🐾

As flowers bloom, so do risks for our pets, with plenty of opportunity for them to breathe in particles, scratch an eye, poke a paw, or even get snagged by a branch or thorn, all of which could potentially lead to infections.

Infections can be sneaky subtle—If your pet is not acting right and you are not sure what it is, get them checked! Like with most conditions, the sooner we treat an infection, the better your pet will feel.

Round 2 voting has ENDED! Winners will be posted Monday!

🍔 A burger… made their way 🐾
Today is National Hamburger Day, but your pet doesn’t need the drive-thru version to feel included.

In fact, many classic burger ingredients—like onions, garlic, and heavy seasoning—can upset their stomach (or worse). The good news? You can still treat them—just a little differently. Think:
🥩 Plain, lean protein
🥕 Pet-safe veggies
🚫 No added salt, spices, or toppings

Because the best treats aren’t the ones we share…they’re the ones we choose with them in mind. ❤️
If you’re ever unsure what’s safe, we’re always here to help!

🤩Does your pet resemble a certain celebrity or character? Maybe a green one with pointy ears, that wears a robe, and eats frogs? 🙃 ​

​Share their picture and tell us who their doppelgänger is!

🐾 Round 2 Voting has ENDED! 🐾
