Healthy AND cheap treats for your pet!
Hey all! I wanted to spread the word about some great healthy treats you can get at any grocery store without breaking the bank. I buy a package of carrots (99 cents at Walmart, also available at any grocery store with a produce section. My dogs love carrots! They also love apple slices…another healthy idea! Instead of paying more money to get possibly unhealthy rewards/treats for your loved one, you can try feeding carrots, apples and cucumbers as an alternative! You will be surprised with the results! Its definitely worth a try. Happy treating!
Its hot out there!
Lets not forget, the hotter it gets, the more important water is for both you and your pet. Making sure your pet is hydrated if you are leaving the pet outside during these 100 degree days is imperative. Leaving two dishes full of water is better than coming home to a sick dehydrated pet. If you want to take your pet on a walk, I recommend doing so in the early hours before it gets too hot. And if you do take your pet on a walk, make sure you bring a portable water bowl (easily $5 at any pet store) and a bottled water so that you both stay hydrated and healthy! Its not even May yet, so lets make sure that we are prepared for the hot days!
Rainy weather blues…
Hey Doggersizers! I know that we have rain pretty much every day this week, so I thought of a few fun ways to get exercise in with your pet so they don’t drive you crazy! Although everyone’s house is different, I am hoping that at least one tip can help you out during this winter weather!
Got a garage? Great! As long as you have a good amount of room in your garage (a space where your car would be for example) You can play a small game of catch with your pet in your garage. All you need is a little wiggle room, and a little luck, and in no time you and your pet will be wrestling around and burning energy in no time! If you are training your pet, you can even work on your commands there as well. If your freezing out there, you would be surprised how much help a small space heater can lend.
Got stairs? And, hopefully for you, kids?!? Chasing your pet up and down those stairs a few times will have you both pretty tired. If your lucky, you can make it a game with your kids and your dog, to keep the energy burning with those who need it!
As I said, hopefully you have a garage or a dog run area that can be of use for you and your pet. Sometimes its hard on both the owner and the pet, because pets need more constant, consistant exercise. So try to help your pet out- chances are you will end up having more fun than you imagined!

Lets Adopt!
Hey ya’ll! Its time! Its time to really start thinking about taking the plunge and adopting a pet! With our community going through such a huge economic decline, we all know that houses are being foreclosed on and that pets are being left behind. This post goes out there to those people who aren’t necessarily looking for a puppy, and have a big back yard and are open to older pets! Please, please, adopt before going to a breeder! There are so many avenues you can go through to adopt a local pet, such as the pound, the spca, and local rescue groups! If you are interested, please contact me and I will give you any details that you need! Foreclosed pets are pets too!!!!
