What Are Your Thoughts

On occasion we will get a request or question asking if the disposable diaper wraps come in any other color.

I have been asking the same thing of our manufacturers over the years but as you can see, all disposable diapers for the dogs have been available in "white" only.

Many pet owners don't really mind as long as the diaper wraps do the job they were intended to do. However, we do provide the cloth cover wraps for those who want to cover them up when they take their dog on an outing.

But for those who have dark colored dogs, say black or brown, if we could get them in a dark color (and we may not have a choice as to what that color may be) do you think the market and pet owners would support this possibility? Please give us your opinion.

Keeping Senior Dogs Active and Healthy

As dogs get older, their care requirements change. They may need different food, supplements, and even special assistive devices. Check out these budget-friendly tips so you can keep your pet happy and healthy well into their senior years.

Shop Around for Pet Supplies

Stock up on a few supplies to help your aging pup. For example, older dogs are more sensitive to cold temperatures. With a heated dog bed, a sweater, and extra blankets, you can keep them comfortable. You may also want to pick up some dog supplements — essential fatty acids, glucosamine with chondroitin sulfate, and probiotics. You can find most of these supplies for affordable prices at stores like Walmart. Just be sure to grab a Walmart promo code before shopping online so you can get cash back on your purchase and save even more!

Let Them Explore

Many owners think their older dogs should avoid exercising too much. Llack of physical activity can actually exacerbate age-related decline and contribute to reduced muscle mass, stiff joints, and heart weakness.

Find Affordable Veterinarians

Book a wellness exam every six months so your vet can catch health problems before they get serious. Your vet will assess your dog’s overall health, checking for arthritis, tumors, signs of pain, and any other irregularities.

You can also save money by shopping around for your pet’s prescriptions. Compare prices at different vet clinics and check out reputable online prescription sites .

LET'S PAWS AND TALK!

LET'S PAWS AND TALK!

Much inspiration comes when seeing the first signs of Spring. Robins feasting in the yard and fussing at one another. The buds giving way to new leaves on the trees and beautifully sculptured flowers peer up from all around places. Bees beginning to pollinate with the fresh smell of green grass, fruit trees and planted gardens. As the snow melts, the sound of running creek beds rise and water the lands. Yes Spring is one of my favorite times of the year! But...

Spring means more than just pleasant smells and pretty flowers. Along comes the heavy downpours and flood waters, hail storms and tornadoes. I am reminded by my GSP Emma that the forecast is about to change as she trembles and hunts for a safe hideout until the thunderstorms pass us by. She can sense the really bad ones coming and has been known to lay on top of me; to shelter my body just in case. Let's not forget their deep feelings but praise them for their sensitivities! What's Spring like in your area?

Winter Weather and Your Dog

Winter Weather and Your dog

Winter weather can be as dangerous for our small dogs as it can be for us. Ensure that your dog stays safe and healthy.

Your first stop to get ready for colder weather with your dog should be the vet’s office. They can make sure your petite four-legged buddy hasn’t acquired any new health issues, or can help you plan for cold weather effects on current health conditions.

Frostbite and hypothermia are real concerns for dogs when outside for too long. Watch for signs of shivering, weak pulse, shallow breathing, or lethargy. Signs of frostbite include discolored skin, blisters, or swelling. If you notice any of these signs or any other issues, get your dog inside right away and get treatment if symptoms worsen.

Wipe your dog down or wash off his legs after walks. Chemicals, salt, and de-icers can stick to your dog’s paws, legs, and belly and can be ingested if your dog decides to clean himself.

It's also not a good idea to leave your dog in the car when you go out. The car’s temperature can drop rapidly in cold weather and pose a danger to your dog, just as the car can overheat in the summer.

At home , give your dog some comfortable bed/ blanket options to be able to regulate himself when warm or cold. They fluctuate between being warm and cool just like we do. If you use a pet sitter while you’re on vacation, be sure to instruct them accordingly.

During the winter season, try to limit bathing your dog. Washing can increase dryness and itchiness on your dog’s skin and can turn into irritating rashes. When you do wash them, use a moisturizing wash and rinse and make sure your dog is completely dry before venturing outside.

Your dog’s paws will be more prone to cracking and bleeding during cold weather. Rubbing a paw protectant such as petroleum jelly on paw pads before and after walks can cut back on irritation.

Keep your home humidified to make up for the colder, drier air of winter. This could make your dog more comfortable and lessen dry skin problems.

Preparing for the cold weather and taking steps to keep your dog safe, will ensure a healthy, happy winter season for your best friend.

The Gift of Acupuncture

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 15:19:32 GMT

The Gift of Acupuncture...

After waking up one morning from a completely normal active dog to one that was totally paralyzed in both hind quarters from no apparent reason, was a total shock. X-rays didn't reveal anything conclusive but shell shock with back surgery from 3-5k and possibly reaching up to 10k+ with no guarantees was horrible news. Plus the fact that she was 13 yrs old and may never walk again.

Heartbroken, we took our little Suki home and began to look for alternative answers. After just one treatment of acupuncture and electrical stimulation, we have hope! Sophie is able to walk again (almost immediately) can manage a small step and is still weak in her right hind foot but on her good days she prances and has very high spirits. Our biggest problem is getting her to slow down so she doesn't trip herself while working on her therapy exercises.

Don't ever give up!

Dakota The Red Heeler - Series 1

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 15:11:37 GMT

Meet Dakota!

Our beautiful Red Heeler, also known as Australian Cattle Dog. They are bred for their working ability. There are two colors of Heelers, Red and Blue. They work behind the herd to keep it moving forward. They are incredibly agile and fast and very good at their job. They may nip the heels of the cow if need be, hence the Heeler part of her name. I will tell you that Dakota is a city girl and has never worked with cows. Really, the only herding she has done is to push me to the pantry where her food is kept. Yes, my heel has been nipped a couple of times. Patience is not a virtue when it comes to food.

Dakota enjoys her daily walks, playing ball, and being at home where she can protect her family. She is very devoted and a great girl.

Dakota's Homecoming

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 14:56:31 GMT

Dakota's Homecoming

When Dakota was brought home, she was familiarized with her new surroundings. She did the usual stiffing and smelling and gladly went to into her new yard. My husband, working from home, watched her for a moment or two and went to his office. Shortly after he sat down he heard Dakota bark. She was at the back door. Now, mind you this is not the door she went out to get to the yard. My husband let her in, took her back to the yard, looked for and open gate, a hole that she might have dug, but nothing. Puzzled he went back into the house and watched Dakota from the window. It did not take long for him to see how she had escaped.

She jumped, put her front paws on the top railing of the 5' wooden fence and began to climb and pull herself up until she had all four paws on the railing and jumped. She came to the same door.

Dakota did not know what was on the other side of the fence, so she had no idea where or what she was jumping into. All she knew was she wanted to be in the house with her new family.

Red Heelers First Walk

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 14:53:53 GMT

Dakota's Daily Walks

As the family and Dakota settled in, my husband would take her for walks. There was a hiking trail close to the house, that they frequented.

Jack walked Dakota on the trail several times always on the leash, stopping at certain spots to rest and give Dakota a drink of water and a treat.

The next walk on the trail Jack decided to let Dakota run. He took the leash off and away she went. When he caught up with her, she was waiting for him at one of the spots they had stopped at previously. What a good girl!

He discovered she was not necessarily waiting on him, but the treat. He gave her the treat and away she went to the next stop.

Dakota stopped getting the treats on those walks, and doesn't get them after walks now. However, treats are a big deal.

Little Cash and Mom Going Shopping

Little Cahs and Mom Going Shopping

It is always an exciting day when Dad takes Mom and tiny little Cash on an outing, especially when it comes to meeting new people. Cash has never turned down an opportunity for a by-passer to stop and tell him how adorable he looks while sharing a warm pat or scratch behind the ear.

Now if they have a treat for him that's the icing on the cake - or as the little guy would say, "gravy on the bone"! However, a lick or two of frozen doggie yogurt works too.

Dakota & Bear

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 14:38:32 GMT

Dakota & Bear - Becoming Friends

Dakota got a new friend about 7 years ago. His name is Bear and he is a Maltese.

When the dogs first met Dakota was nice to Bear. Knowing that Dakota didn't play well with others, this was a surprise. They now tolerate each other.

Dakota misses Bear when he goes for grooming appointments, and greets him when he gets home. Other than this display of affection, Dakota doesn't have much to do with Bear.

When it comes to barking they work as a team. We call Bear the instigator and Dakota the intimidator. It takes a little while to get the barking stopped because one or the other doesn't know why they are barking.

We have some cross words between the two. It usually happens when they want to go out. Dakota gets excited (more barking) and will run over Bear. He let's her know about it. At night when we are all winding down, Bear may get to close to Dakota and she will growl at him. Bear just walks away.

Dakota is the alpha dog in our little family. It's a position she handles well...Sometimes.

FDA Alerts Pet Owners about Potentially Toxic Levels of Vitamin D in Several Dry Pet Foods

https://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/uc...

As a multiple pet owner, each are my closest and most loyal members of our family. I'm sure most, if not all, of my followers feel the same way. We don't want, need, or approve of what is being added in our Pet Food or Human Food chain and it's past time for somethings to change! It is absolutely gut wrenching to have to say "farewell" to any of our beloved pets for whatever the reason.

Please, please check out your dog food and CALL the manufacturer of your dog's food if you need further answers!
