Is #ThrowbackThursday still a thing? Well, it is now! This was the first photo ever posted of @dayna.biz on our Facebook Page, back in August 2012. 😮 Dayna launched Dayna’s Pet Services in July 2012 and this was her first professional photo for the company. She was a solo operation for much of that first year, but as the reputation grew, so did the team, with her first hires soon to follow. ❤️ Rest in Peace to the beloved Taco, who lived a long, happy, and healthy life to 19 years old in February 2025. He is surely missed.

📷: The Great Benny Bully’s Sack Race of 2018 at Wiener-Paw-Looza Ottawa! This is one of our favourite pictures of all time.
