Essential Item for Pet Parents with a Pool

This is an item that we wish had been available back when we had a house with an in-ground swiming pool! It's a Scamper Ramp, and it is a floating ramp that you secure to one side (or at one end) of the pool, and teach them where it is and how to use it by swimming with them. If your four-legged kid happens to fall into the pool, even while you are there, they can swim to it and use it to pull themselves back out again, without having to worry if they are too short to traverse the built in steps (a real concern for our short-stature babies!) Now in our case, we were in the pool swimming at the time and were able to lift him out, but our little Anakin never wanted to get near the water again. Don't wait until it's too late, it's better to have one and never need it, than the other way around!

Highly Recommended Suppliment

As far as we are concerned, Solid Gold Seameal is an essential part of your dog's healthy diet. Added to his/her diet (sprinkled on their food each day) it boosts the vitamin content and overall wellness factor of your four legged family member through the roof! Seameal derives its name from the major components that it is made from: seaweed, kelp and other sea vegitation that are packed with vitamins and minerals. Do yourself and your pet a favor and pick them up some today. We recently saw this in a local pet food superstore, and we were flabbergasted at the price that they were charging: $32 for 1 pound!! Make sure you shop around to get a good price.

This is the contract that goes with every one of our babies, click on the image to read it more easily. We give a four year Genetic Guarantee, which, simply stated, guarantees that your new family member will be free of any genetic defect that will shorten his/her life, and if one is discovered within four years we will replace your puppy at the time of your choosing (immediately, or sometime in the future.) This DOES NOT mean that we will come and take your baby away from you, and thrust a new one into your hands, it just means that you are entitled to a replacement (so-to-speak) at the time of your choosing.

Required Reading for the Pet Lover

Teresa and I would like to devote this post to recommending (HIGHLY!) a book that we feel that every one of our extended family (i.e. anyone who has one of our babies) should read. It is "Food Pets Die For: The Shocking Truth About Pet Food" by Ann Martin. You can get it through the link in this post. This book will tell you, in detail, why you NEVER want to feed your pet anything made by Iams or Purina, OR that has Meat By-Product, Meat Meal, Bone Meal or Animal Fat listed in the ingredients. Do yourself, and your beloved family member a favor and get this book!
