PupCulture - Issue #2 Christmas in July

Skincare Routines, Cheeseburgers, & Giving back

Hey there!

We’re back for week two, and let’s just say… it’s been a moisturizing, burger-filled, big-hearted kind of week.

Winston’s been deep in his skincare era (his skin is as dramatic as his personality), Charlie tried his first cheeseburger (life-changing), and we’re celebrating Christmas in July by giving back — with a special donation of our favorite Earth Rated goodies to North Shore Animal League America.

Let’s get into it 🧊
– Winston & Charlie

🧴 Winston’s Skincare Secrets

Wrinkles are cute — unless they get crusty. That’s why Winston is proud to unveil his glow-up routine.

🧼 Step 1: Start with a gentle face wipe to cleanse and moisturize.
🐽 Step 2: Apply Squishface nose balm to soothe dry, cracked snouts. (Winston calls it his “nose job in a tube.”)
🌿 Step 3: Finish with a daily mist to freshen things up. Our current fave: Pride + Groom’s “The Scent.” It smells like fancy brunch and belly rubs.

💅 Skincare isn’t just for humans — Winston says he’s glowing from the folds out.

🍔 Charlie’s Cheeseburger Awakening

This month, Charlie tried his first-ever cheeseburger. He’s never been the same!


🐾 Patty: soulfully savored like it was his last meal.
🧀 Cheese tax: paid.

We kept it plain and pup-safe — no onions, no sauces, no bun. And yes, he now expects a burger every Friday.

🍞 Want to add a bun? Here’s a simple dog-friendly recipe:
🥚🥚 2 egg whites, blended — then baked at 325°F for 15 minutes.

🎄 Christmas in July: Giving Back with Earth Rated 🎁

While most pups are dreaming of turkey scraps and snowy walks, we’re bringing the holiday spirit early this year. As part of our Christmas in July tradition, Winston and Charlie are helping spread some cheer — and some seriously great poop bags — to pups in need. 🐾

This week, we’re donating a bundle of Earth Rated products to our local animal shelter. Because every dog deserves clean walks, fresh wipes, and a whole lot of love — no matter the season.

💚 If you're looking for a way to give back this summer, consider donating supplies to your local shelter.

💬 Ask Winston & Charlie

Q: “How often should I clean my Frenchie’s wrinkles?”
A: Winston says daily. Charlie says “what wrinkles?”
But seriously — once a day is ideal if your pup has deep folds, and always use a gentle, dog-safe wipe.

🛍️ Pawtners Corner - Products that we love and use

 🐾 Winston’s Pick: Tavo Shell Swaying Lounger: This is not your average dog bed. The Tavo Shell is part lounge chair, part luxury retreat — and Winston’s new favorite spot to judge squirrels in style. With a sleek, modern design and orthopedic memory foam, it checks the boxes for both form and function. (Plus, it looks better than most human furniture.)

📸 So many of you have commented or DMed us about this chair on Instagram — so we figured it was time to give you the scoop.

💬 Winston says: “It cradles my buns just right.”

Until next time…

Thanks for spending part of your day with us — we hope it brought a smile (or at least a snort).

Whether you’re pampering your pup’s wrinkles, sharing a cheeseburger moment, or giving back this season, we’re wagging our tails for you. 💚
