Our society is changing: our eternal relations are no longer close to us or perhaps the urban lifestyle or the work demands interferes with our ability to establish close interactions and connections. It appears as our dogs have started filling the emotional voids that the modern lifestyle has left in our lives and personal relationships. Our pet dogs seem to be our family members now, and there are many instances when we treat our dogs more socially than anyone else. One such instance is where we want to treat them as part of our house. And the first step is building a pretty DIY dog house because they also deserve a special place to call their own.

How to build a dog house? Here are the steps to follow
The following facts must be kept in mind while planning a DIY dog house.
Plan for a dog house
The dog house always has a floor that must be high enough from the ground level to prevent the entering of water on rainy days. Raising it will also isolate it from the cold ground in the winter and from the hot surface in burning summer to keep pets safe. The size we are going to illustrate here is just average and you can change it by a slight variation in the measurements. It should be large enough to allow the free movement of the dog at the same time it must be small enough so that the dog can heat it with his natural-body heat. Choose the option of average.
1) Cut the wood pieces based on your design
Cut the 2-by-4 pieces of wood-based on design i.e., either you want a square or rectangular boundary.
2) Frame the base
Screw these pieces together to get the basic frame.
3) Sheath the base
Cut the 3/4 –inch pressure-treated plywood to size and screw it to the frame to create the foundation floor.
4) Create side wall frames
Cut the 2-by-2 pieces of wood according to the measured dimensions and attach them to the initial build frame to create left and right walls.
5) Frame the front and back walls
Cut the 2-by 2 size of the wood and attach them to the 2-inch deck screws, keep your dog’s size in mind while building the front door. Ideally, the dog house opening should be 2 to 4 inches wider than your dog’s size. Similarly, calculate the width of the shoulder to adjust the height of the door.
6) Attach the framing walls
Fasten the walls together but be careful while attaching the walls: each wall should extend out of the frame to avoid the lack of support by the walls.
7) Building the roof frame
Cut the wood slides each 2-by-2 inch and mount the roof framing to the already build frame.
8) Install the slides
Use the ½ plywood material or any other material that you would like to use. Fasten all the slides with the frame by screwing them tightly. Similarly, attach the top roof slide with a size of 1-2. It should be slightly larger than the frame itself so that 2-3 inches stick out of the frame boundary.
9) Attach the trimming
Trim function is to normalize all the spacing, it automatically stripes the space at the start and end of a given string and level just one space inside a string. By trimming your build structure, you would be able to recover all the empty spaces. According to the size, you have to use 1-by3 inches trim boards.
10) Create the side door opening
Cut out a 24-inch-by-33-inch rectangular slide as a door. Remove the bottom frame pieces and any extra material from the edges to allow the free door to slide freely. Drill a small hole or attach a small piece of wood as a door handle, to make it easy to open the door.
11) Attach the door
Now attach the door slide to the door opening. For linking the door to the dog house use screws with a piano hinge. Bolt the nuts inside the hinge to allow the door to move back and forth. For additional protection, consider adding a weatherproof sheet to keep it safe from the rain or hot weather.
12) Attach the roof grossing
Attach the gross lining to the roof for better weatherproofing. You can consider using rubber roofing, apply it to the plywood by using constructive adhesive. Use the silicone sealant to fill any gaps along the edges to prevent the entry of water which will cause leakage and dampness. Attach the artificial grass to the roof by using exterior construction adhesive. Attaching the roof gross will have the following benefits
- Improve stormwater management and reduce urban heat by improving resistant quality.
- It will insulate the house while improving the efficiency of mechanical equipment’s
- Reduce the greenhouse gas emission
- It will extend the roof life
13) Build the ramp base: optional
Cut the ¾ inch left ramp out of the plywood and ½ inch for the side attached to the house. Attach both these sides with screws and adhesive to ensure extra strength. You can add framing for additional support. Cover this ramp with artificial grass to give it a realistic look.
14) Add some colors
For some fun, you can paint the house to add some colors to your fury’s life. You can either select matte or gloss paint. It does not matter if you use any kind of paint, but it should be weather resistant and waterproof, as the house will be continuously exposed to outdoor severe conditions. You can further customize it by adding various graphics or designs to it.
Additional Things You must consider for a DIY Dog house are:
Now you have assembled your pet’s house, don’t forget to add some items to ensure comfort.
- Keep it hydrated
Don’t forget to ensure the water availability for your furry friend. Consider adding a fountain or splash pad so that your dog stays hydrated.
- Add an awning
Consider adding an awning to your pet’s house that will act as a stylish barrier to protect the house from the burning rays of sun, heat, and cold. It will absorb the heat in winter and will keep the heat away thus making the house ideal for any season.
- Create a dog park
Creating a small dog park outside his house won’t be a bad idea if you have enough space. You can do dog agility, scavenger hunt, or the dog run to make a fun place for your pet. This will allow your pets to have some playtime together.
- Supervise the playtime
Be mind’s full of the pet’s activity, make sure to monitor the condition of the house at regular intervals. Keep an eye on the condition, it is broken or damaged from somewhere, or keep on locating any kind of leakage, as these factors make your pet susceptible to fell ill.
Benefits of a DIY dog house: your dog’s person place
House is a place where you can recharge yourself. The same goes for your buddy. A dedicated space for your dog will let him relax, sleep, play, and eat. Just like humans, dogs also feel tired and any change in their schedule or routine can cause them to stress out. Confined space for them will help them to rest at their convenience, which will be beneficial for your pet’s health.
A DIY dog house will be a source of pet enrichment which in return is beneficial for the mental, physical and emotional stimulation of your pet. You can add some toys to your pet’s house to make them feel more personal. Meanwhile, learning how to build a dog house will be an addition to your skills, and will help you to build a strong bond with your best friend.
How to insulate the dog house?
You can insulate your pet’s house by using a different kind of protective material depending upon the conditions. You can use the fiberglass or the reflective foil to reflect the burning rays of the sun thus keeping it at moderate temperature. Bubble wrap and polystyrene are used to insulate it to prevent the release of heat out of the house thus keeping it warm. Other insulations include carpet or wood or you can add carpet over the wood to keep the floor warm.
How to build a large dog house?
The procedure explained above is a guide to building a dog house for the dog of an average house. But you can either make it small or large depending upon the size of your pet. For building a large dog house, we need to build the frame wood greater than 2-by-2 size, and slides should also be large. The remaining process is the same, so you just have to adjust the measurements.
How to build a dog house with a porch?
A porch is a covered shelter projecting in the front of the entrance of a building. The remaining procedure is the same as described above, you just have to add the portion of the porch. For this cut down the wood ply pieces 2-y-2 size to create a square frame and fix it in the front of the entrance by using the screws. Now add the wood slide a slight larger over this frame to create the platform. Now to support the roof of the porch cut down the wood ply piece of the same size and attach them to the floor slide through the screws. Attach the floor slide to the frame legs and fix it, your porch is ready.
How to build a dog run on the side of the house?
For building the dog run, first, you have to select a suitable fence to mark the boundary. You can select wood, plastic, or even metal fence. After fixing the fence, you have to select the material of the ground, either grass or just the mud for the digging dogs. You can either keep the run without the roof, or you can add the roof if you want.
How to build a dog house out of pallets?
Pallet boards have a pleasant aged appearance and are either available in the wood or plastic material. You can select what you want. As the pallets already arrive in the form of slides which are made by joining the individual pieces of wood together. You just have to cut the slides according to the measurements and you know the rest. The pallets would be a cheap source of wood, and it won’t cost too much for building a pallet dog house.
So now you know that building a dog house is not a big deal at all, grab your tools now, and build up a pretty house for your puppy.


Winter-Proofing Pets: Seasonal Fun, Learning and Safety for Furry Ones!
October 18, 2021 by University District
As the seasons change, we are turning our attention to planning for pet fun, wellness and safety in fall and winter.
From Howl-oween treats to agility training, paw-waxing to night-time safety measures, there is lots to ponder to prepare our pets for harsh weather, dark nights and preventing boredom from setting in.
This is especially important when long walks and hours at the dog park are so chilly it’s almost silly!
Lucky for us there is a local resource — retailer Pet Planet — with experts in all things big and small, furry and fabulous!
We spoke with owner Debbie Bauman about the wintertime what-to-dos for pets and you.
HALLOWEEN AROUND THE CORNER
It’s a pack of fun when Halloween becomes Howl-oween this year at U/D! How best to celebrate Halloween with our pets, Debbie?
“Who doesn’t love a Halloween treat or two?” asks Debbie. Pets enjoy getting in on the pumpkin flavours of fall too!
“Pet Planet stocks pumpkin flavoured cookies and training treats to reward dogs for tricks…or just because! Healthy variety in snacks and meals makes sense for pets. They are how we train, bond and get all the right nutrients to stave away hunger and physical concerns.
“Use this time of year to pick up some fall-themed stuffed toys to keep your pet curious and surprised — another Halloween joy we can all share.”
Have you visited the U/D Pet Planet lately? They are celebrating their 25th anniversary in business this fall. Watch for in-store specials in November!
Firecrackers and late night doorbell ringing, Halloween can be a little extra scary. What are some tips for comforting your pet when their survival instinct kicks in and they become naturally afraid?
Debbie suggests reducing stress by staying home with your pet and encouraging them into a safe spot, like a crate or bed in case they want to hide away. Reassuring your dog or cat or bird with a calm soothing tone goes a long way to settling nerves.
Gentle words work wonders! Try playing some music — like relaxing jazz — to divert their attention.
Tip: Tire your dog out during the daylight hours so they are sleepier come night time, then treat them with something like a frozen Kong stuffed with peanut butter and a bully stick! They’ll be too tuckered to get flustered.
TRICK OR TREAT?
Inspired by Halloween tradition or the Superdogs who made our Block Party a blast, what more can our precious pooches do in the winter?
Look around for some local classes that U/D dogs would love to take and start this fall. They can practice all winter and be ready to show their stunts come spring at the U/D dog park. Teach your dog new tricks and keep them active this winter with Pawztracks.ca here in the NW.
WINTER WEAR WELLNESS FOR OUR DOMESTIC WILD ONES
When the wind starts to whistle and howl, the snow flurries and the ice builds, do dogs benefit from an extra layer of protection?
“Consider a fleece coat or knitted sweater for short-coated pets,” says Debbie. “Long-hairs are usually fine au naturel!
“Great for winter, we love the idea of glow in the dark and light-up leashes and collars. Nightfall comes fast here in Calgary in fall and winter months, so safety measures are a must. We have a nice selection of glowing accessories that signal you are out and about to drivers and cyclists. Being seen with your pet at night will bring you peace of mind and reduce risks.”
Do winter weather variables also mean paw care becomes a priority?
Yes! Debbie suggests being wary of the drying damage that salt on roads and walkways can cause for pet’s paws. There are several bootie options for wet days and full tread booties for the harshest times. She also recommends a good layer of good quality paw wax.
“A layer of wax goes a long way to ensuring healthy, conditioned paws all winter long.”
KEEPING CLEAN AND HAVING FUN DOING IT
Winter becomes a muddy, messy, soggy, sloppy time for dogs and their people. Luckily, many of the U/D residential buildings have on-site dog washing stations. How best to keep pets clean and comfy in the winter weather?
“I encourage spot cleaning our pets versus full blown cleanings any more often than once a month or once every two months,” says Debbie.
Zoning in on the paws, snout and underbelly with a cloth or towel prevents the risks that too much product or water — especially hot water — can cause. Make a game of cleaning time with a bright cloth disguised as a toy. Pop on some music and be quick and happy when cleaning your pet. They don’t just feed on dog food…they feed on your paws-itive energy too!
“Did you know that Pet Planet also has a DIY dog washing station? There is a bay with shampoos and conditioners all there for you to clean and blow your pet dry,” says Debbie.
“Consider a rinse after a muddy walk to carpet-proof paws, haunches and paunches!” suggests Debbie. “You can drop in, first come first served, for a rinse charged in 15-minute increments. We do ask people to bring their own towels.”
Stay safe, sustained and upbeat with a little winter planning for you and your pooch! See you at the dog park, on the trails, down the Pet Planet aisles, or at the washing stations this winter! Be safe, be smart and be loved by your pet this wintertime!
We learn what makes Pet Planet different and what it offers from U/D shop owner Debbie. Follow and share your thoughts about our new retailers with University District on Facebook, @udistrictyyc_ on Instagram and Twitter, too!

Thank You, Lord for the extra special moments You bless our days with!
While Clara, Hil and I were out taking a little walk yesterday we made an absolutely adorable find... this sweet little turtle! He was such a cutie and hadn't seemed to have learned much yet about hiding in his shell. He'd stick his head and legs in occasionally, but spent quite a bit of time with them out. And when he thought he had a chance to run, he could really move. As you can tell from the pictures, our little girl GREATLY enjoyed the experience. She named him Mr. Turtle. Hilkiah wasn't nearly as impressed. When I did let him hold the little guy at one point, as soon as the turtle tried to run, Hil quickly dropped him. Thankfully, as far as I know, turtle was not hurt.
Clara wanted to bring Mr. Turtle home to show Daddy, but the pictures are our souvenir of a special moment and experience the Lord blessed us with.
Don't miss Hilkiah's birthday post below! :-)


I miss you both. Annie, I miss your glowing eyes and your floppy ears, your warm hugs and your soft silky fur. I miss your breath and your snores, your slobber and the way you eat your food and follow me around begging for love. Lilly, I miss your tiny paws and your pussinboot eyes, your soft fuzzy fur and your calming purr. I miss your sandpaper-licks and your sweet smell and the way you watch my every move carefully from the corner. I miss your twitching tail, and Annie's thump. I love you both and I miss your warming affection and love that removes my loneliness.


Two days ago we had a very heavy overnight rainfall, 0.7" in less than 12 hours, along with some wind. It was quite refreshing after several days of unbroken sunshine, and Beth and I enjoyed listening to the rain, though our cats stayed indoors and Ghost slept on the bed for the first time. He gnawed our toes in the early hours to show he was still feeling chipper.
Just as I was getting ready to leave for work the next morning, we discovered that the rain had brought something new to our garden: a big golden dog.
Beth and I whipped outside, via separate exits, and rounded up the poor damp canine, who after a brief attempt to evade me, willingly approached Beth and allowed himself to be caught. We brought the dog into the garage, gave him a bowl of water and some catfood which he wolfed down, and some towels to lie on. I then had to leave for work, leaving Beth to try to locate the owner.
In my absence, Beth took the dog along to our neighbour Jane who has two large dogs of her own, and is currently dogsitting a third, and our stray happily joined their ranks. Jane and Beth drove the dog to our local vet, but they couldn't find any microchip implant, and of course we'd already checked for a nametag on the collar. There was a collar, the kind that is supposed to react to an invisible fence by giving the dog a small electric shock, but obviously it didn't stop this chap from straying.
By my first break at 11am Beth had taken pictures and created some posters, and after they got back from the vet trip Jane and Beth took all four dogs for a walk round the neigbourhood, putting up the posters on mailboxes and telegraph poles.
By 2:30pm there was still no communication from the owner, and Beth came over to WalMart to do some necessary shopping. Whilst there, she finally received a phone call from the owner, who had been astonished to see the posters because they hadn't realised their dog was even missing.
I got home from work around 4:30pm to hear the last chapter. The dog, named Yoshi, is scared of the noise of wind, so during the night he must have run away, coming along the bank of the creek behind the houses from their garden which is two cul-de-sacs further south. Yoshi had never strayed before so the owner
1) hadn't had him microchipped
2) hadn't put a nametag on his collar,
3) hadn't put his rabies tag on his collar, and
4) hadn't replaced the batteries in his electric collar.
We're very happy that Yoshi is reunited with his owners, and the family have small children who were very happy to see him again, but I have a niggling concern that the owners were irresponsible in doing nothing to ensure that if their dog ever strayed he would be quickly identified and returned. Not putting a nametag on your dog because he has never strayed is like not insuring your house because it has never been burgled.

Image owned by Zoo de la Palmyre.
It isn’t many people who can say they’ve extracted DNA from monkey poo. Yesterday I was able to add my name to that list. You see, at my job (my job that isn’t related to knitting), I’m often extracting DNA from poo, as well as blood, urine, nasal and tracheal fluids, and sometimes cerebral spinal fluid. Almost all of it is from dogs and cats, to the point where I believed I would only ever be working with fluids from dogs and cats. Then yesterday I received a tiny orange vial labeled “pied tamarin (and the zoo it came from)” with a species of “MK” (“C” is canine or dog, and “F” is feline or cat, you see).
I was like, “species MK, what’s that?” Turns out it’s monkey, or pied tamarin in this case. There may only be one species of domestic dog or cat, but there are many, many species of monkey.
So what do I do with this DNA once I’ve extracted it? Well, I work for a veterinary diagnostics company, which means when a vet wants a test done for an animal (like the very generic “blood work” or “culture test”), it comes to a company like mine. We then carry out the test(s), interpret them, and give the results to the vet.
My part in all of this is I’m what’s known as a PCR Technician, that is I carry out what’s known as Polymerase Chain Reaction, or PCR. Basically, I receive a fluid from an animal – the type depending on what’s wrong with the animal, so if the vet suspects a blood borne illness I’ll receive the blood. I then extract and purify the DNA from that fluid – i.e. collect all the DNA from all the organisms that are in the fluid, be they cat cells or bacterial cells or viruses or what not. Then I use PCR to check to see if DNA exists from a list of pathogenic organisms (the kinds that cause sickness) that we test for.
So, if a dog has lyme disease, say, I’m able to use this technique to see that the bacterium that causes lyme disease is currently present in the blood. I then inform the system which informs the vet that the bacterium is present who can then take further steps to treat the disease. I do this for generally around 100 samples a day – that is 100 animals a day. It’s a very clinical and grueling job where I don’t have any contact with the animals at all and generally don’t have to think about what a positive diagnosis for a deadly disease can mean (though that’s pretty rare, even at 100 animals a day).
It’s nice to think that I’m able to have a mostly positive impact a the lives of a lot of pets. It’s really cool to know that I can (very rarely) have that same impact on an exotic animal like a pied tamarin. Makes the fact that I’m not knitting while doing it just a little more tolerable.


On March 31st, this meatloaf is turning 8 years old. This fur-momma can’t believe it’s been 8 years since she “graced” my presence. I remember when we picked her up, and then I remember leaving for church camp for a week (the same week Cody and I re-met). When I came back, this puppy was so excited to see me that she tinkled on me. She still does it when she gets excited. She’s rotten and spoiled, but she’s my Nator Grace, and I’m glad she’s been my baby for 8 years.

The location of the Lab puppy breeder is one of the things you need to have in mind. You will want to access the physical features of the Lab puppy before you buy it.

Puppy Gear Under $10
Do you have a new pup or know someone who does? This list of Puppy Gear Under $10 is perfect! PLUS, download our free New Puppy Checklist!
When our whole family gets together we have ALL the dogs, too. We have 4 large dogs and 2 small dogs and it’s a menagerie. They all love to get together and play and we do like to buy for them. Here are some of the things I think would make great, inexpensive pet gifts:
Pet ID Tag – In case your pup slips away from you, make sure you can be found by anyone who finds the dog!
Dog Walking Harness – You need to help your pup learn control. A good way to do that is a collar or harness and a leash. I like a harness because the pup doesn’t strain against his neck.
Rope Dog Leash -Comes in 4 FT/ 5FT /6FT length that way you, keep your pup close to you, and he learns who’s in charge (that means you!). Also comes with a Comfortable Padded Handle.
American Kennel Club Crate Mat – I always recommend crate training for a pup. It gives her a nice secure place to be and helps with housebreaking. This mat will make it comfy.
No-Tip Stainless Dish – I have 2 of these for my dogs, one for water, one for food. They are easy to clean, the rubber ring around the bottom slips off for easy cleaning but keeps the bowl in place when it is on. I’ve had mine for 10 years – just place in the dishwasher!
Dog Nail Clippers – I’m not thrilled about clipping nails, but you don’t want to have to run to a vet or groomer every time it needs to be done. It’s also another way to get your pup comfortable with you being in charge.
Combo Dog Brush– Don’t wait to introduce your pup to a brush. They all need one and the sooner she accepts it, the happier everyone will be!
No Stuffing Squeaky Plush Dog Toy, – Puppies sleep, eat, pee, poop and play. My girls love these soft plush toys with squeakers in them. Gives them lots of ways to play.
Kong Puppy Toy – Puppies also chew and chew and chew! I like these KONG toys because they are hard rubber which is excellent for teething, and you can hide a treat inside, to keep him occupied trying to get it out!

I really did not understand I was supposed making guidelines. I really did not understand Lily was supposed to follow my guidelines. I didn't recognize she was expected to in fact obey me.
My dog Lily walked throughout me - till I got hopeless.
I looked online for dog training books, however I didn't understand what "training" my dog required. I knew she barked constantly when I left your house. She "talked back" to me when I would certainly tell her to obtain off my bed.
She got on my furnishings, ate my shoes and also decided when she would certainly consume. Basically, she ran your home. She was the leader and also I was the follower.
Back to my Keys to Dog Training Review.

In case you're not familiar with the principle, dog whispering is a method of dog training based on the viewpoint of clear interaction and common respect.
It's one of the most humane approaches of dog training - right along with clicker training.


We have a dog. Her name is Maeby and we got her from a shelter. As a result, we have never known her exact breed, although we moved our guesses around from Sheltie (but she doesn't bark much) to Corgi (but she has no herding instinct) to Beagle (she always tries to track things, but she is terrible at it). We never got any closer to being sure.
For Natalie's birthday, I got her a Bio Pet Vet Lab DNA Test. It was $60 and it was fun.
Before I reveal the results, they were really interesting, and we were waaaay off. A lot of her characteristics come out in the breeds given, so I don't doubt the results at all.
Here are the results sorted by percentage of ancestry:
20%-36% Saluki. Look at that Maebyface! Salukis are sighthounds (hunt by sight) and Maeby goes INSANE if she sees a squirrel. She is also very reserved and slightly aloof:
20%-36% Scottish Terrier. Short and squatty, prone to weight gain.
10%-19% Chow Chow. No desire to please their master... need a reason to do what you're asking. Maeby's reason is green beans. She likes them.
10%-19% English Springer Spaniel. Natalie is obsessed with this breed. Maeby got the freckles, nose, eyes, and white tip of her tail. Mixed with the Saluki sighthound, the stalking instinct kicks in sometimes and she'll point and stick her white-tipped tail in the air (bred so that hunters can spot the dog in the brush).
>10% Pekingese (gremlin?). These next 3 are trace amounts, so we don't see too much of them in her. Fortunately for us, these last breeds help a lot in that she doesn't shed much.
>10% Poodle. Lack of shedding + smart. :)
>10% Shih Tzu. Not sure about this one.
So there you have it. Hope you have been enlightened to some of the intricacies of dog breeds.


Responsible pet ownership can be a sticky wicket to discuss. Since I pride myself on stirring the pot, here’s my take.
When you take a sweet bundle of animal affection into your home, you are making a promise. I will care for you. I will feed you. I will make sure you have room to play. That you will advocate for them to get what they need when it comes to medical care.
That all is simple enough right?
Here’s the sticky bit:
You are challenged with being the voice for your pet. To make a decision based on what is most humane even if it breaks your heart. No person can tell you when it is time to let your pet go, but if you for one second don’t listen to your own desire, but rather look into the eyes of your pet, they are capable of letting you know. Sometimes intervening isn’t what’s most humane.
I rescue because not all people are good. I rescue because I can provide a home for an animal who, usually by no fault of their own, has lost theirs. I rescue because I believe all animals should know love even if they are only in our home for a short time. I rescue because I firmly believe that no animal should be thrown away. The flip side of that coin is that sometimes the greatest gift, the most loving thing that can be done is to help them find peace.
To whomever left the cat at the humane league with his eye out of its socket…shame on you. ORCA exists for this reason. I don’t know the details, but shame on the humane league for allowing him to be in pain, if that is in fact the case.
Shame shame shame.

IS BABY ASPIRIN A GOOD IDEA FOR MY STIFF-LEGGED DOG,
Dear Dr. Baum --
My 15 year old dog, 17 lb. (miniature schnauzer)
walks very stiffly, as if he is arthritic. Is it OK to give him a
baby aspirin? How often? Will it help?
Eileen, Los Angeles, CA
Dear Eileen --
You should have him examined and x-rayed to
confirm the diagnosis. There are many types of drugs to use for
arthritic relief varying from buffered aspirin to nsaids to
cortisone. The best preparation to use is the one that produces the
best response with the least dosage -- in other words, the least
amount that controls the problem. None of these drugs is risk free,
and that why a thorough physical exam is indicated before starting
anything for a long time.

The death of a 9-year-old Pomeranian has erupted into a unique new lawsuit.
According to the allegations of the dog’s owners the death is a result from eating a dog treat is hardly “what nature intended,”
The owner has sued Nestle Purina Petcare Co and
Wal-Mart Stores Inc, saying his dog died from eating
chicken jerky treats. Furthermore, he alleges that Nestle knew that the “treats” posed a
substantial risk of illness or death.
The federal lawsuit seeking class-action status was filed in
Chicago last week. The owner is a resident of the Chicago
suburb of Orland Park.
For dog owners interested in protecting their pet’s health the product in question is the Nestle Purina’s Waggin’ Train
Yam Good dog treats, whose packaging calls the product “just
wholesome goodness” and claims “it’s what nature intended.”
He said that after buying the treats at a Wal-Mart store, he
fed one each day from March 13 to 15 to Cleopatra, a 9-year-old
Pomeranian, without changing the rest of her diet.
Cleopatra became ill and died on March 26 of kidney failure,
the complaint said. We will continue to follow this story and keep you updated on the status of the safety of these dog treats.


Our top dog, Melissa, has been a rescue advocate for more than 20 years. She prides herself on working with local rescue groups. Recently, she founded Sugar Faces Senior Dog Rescue. She enjoys being around people who share her deep love for dogs and dedication to spoiling them.
She started the barkuterie as a fun way to provide people in her community with new, fun options to spoil their dogs while delivering fresh, locally made treats made with natural, US-made ingredients. She wholeheartedly believes in celebrating the special bond between people and their pets; there is no more incredible bond to her.
Ensuring that every recipe is perfected and that every item is pleasing to your dog’s taste is a very important job. Our Chief Treat Inspector, Rosa, takes her duties seriously at Chesapeake Barkuterie HQ. She is often found sampling cookies, licking spoons, sniffing ovens, checking the pantry inventory and carefully looking at each package as it is prepared and boxed. No baked goods or snacks find their way into our Barkuterie creations unless first approved by Rosa.
Although careful with her consideration of our work, to date Rosa has approved of EVERY item we have created!


If I ruled the world, I would outlaw those awful extending leashes. There is nothing to be accomplished by having your dog 12′ away from you when your dog then has to walk at your pace anyway. No, the only thing that you accomplish is having no control over your dog when a crisis happens. I’ve seen dogs almost hit by cars because they ran into the road. I hit a dog while biking because it lunged off the sidewalk after me. And on the multiuse trail in the park, I’ve had to come to a screeching halt on my bike when my call of, “on your right” led to the dog owner stepping off the trail to the right and the dog running off the trail to the left, effectively clotheslining the trail.
But yesterday was the limit. We were at Petco, waiting in line to check out. The woman in front of us had a very pretty bulldog on an extending leash. As we get to the line, the bulldog rushes back toward us. I let out a squeak, and she reeled the dog in. He sat beside her for a moment, but then came back toward us. Shasta was fine at first, but when Ferrett spoke to the bulldog, he jumped toward Ferrett. It was a friendly jump, but Shasta is very protective of her people, so she was alarmed and lunged forward to protect Ferrett, and the bulldog turned his attention on Shasta. I had her, and things should have been under control. But the owner, who was paying no attention, upon feeling the lunge? Released the fraking leash. The bulldog went after Shasta, who ran behind me to get away. The bulldog chased after her, and suddenly I was wrapped in the extending leash, unable to get to Shasta to help her. Fortunately, Ferrett was there and able to help me get untangled. Throughout all this, the owner was oblivious. Eventually she retrieved her dog and wandered away.
Also, Petco is dog friendly, but people, PLEASE watch your kids. As we walked through the front door, someone was walking a dog out that lunged forward to sniff Shasta. She is a little dog-shy, so was startled but okay. But then another dog passed, and at the same moment a little girl ran up, squeeing “cute doggie!” and stuck her hand right in Shasta’s face. My heart was in my throat. Fortunately, Shasta didn’t freak out and snap at her. Please, please, parents, teach your children to always ask before petting a dog. Even friendly dogs can be nervous dogs if they are startled, and I’m just glad that the little girl didn’t learn that lesson from Shasta.

Having a pet bird can be a great experience. With having a bird, you have to take certain maintenance precautions that you may not be aware of, especially if this is the first time that you have ever owned one. A few things you must be aware of are claw and feather maintenance.
Some people feel comfortable maintaining their bird’s wings to keep them from flying about the house. For their safety, they clip the feathers on the wings. Clipping wings is the same as cutting hair; it does not hurt the bird. You can also use clipping the bird’s feathers as a taming and basic training tool. There are people who prefer to pluck the bird’s feathers to keep it looking tidier; however, if you can imagine the hair stylist yanking clumps of hair out at a time, this is how it would feel to the bird. We highly advice you to avoid plucking the feathers.
The bird’s nails need to be maintained as well. You can use either simple nail clippers or special bird claw clippers. When you trim the nails, you need to look for the “quick,” or the vein in the claw. This is the blood supply to the nail, and you must avoid clipping it when you cut the claw. Another option to maintain claws would be to get a sand perch. This perch will maintain the bird’s nails over time.
Having pet birds can be such an exciting experience. The random acts and work-like mentality of birds can be so fun to watch and appreciate. If you want a great cage, we have a recommendation. The Flight Cage is the perfect bird accessory for all of your bird housing needs. Having the proper cage for your birds will give them the room they need to live and work freely.
The Flight Cage is ideal for multiples of small birds like finches and canaries. This unique birdcage provides ample flight space for your favorite pets. Your birds will be able to live in normalcy. This birdcage also has wheels on the ends of each leg. These wheels allow you to move your birdcage around from room to room easily.
It is important that you bird cage is large enough for the birds that you own. With this birdcage your birds will have ample room to fly and work in different areas. The holiday season is right around the corner. You can surprise your loved one with new pets and this wonderful birdcage this year.

If you were one of the millions of people who watched Tiger King, you might be dreaming of owning an exotic pet. Although joining the 10,000 people who own a tiger may be tempting, many other exotic pets are easier and safer to bring home.
Owning an exotic pet lets you welcome an unusual animal into your house. Many exotic pets are legal to have and will thrive in your environment.
This guide looks at the top exotic pets to add to your family and what you need to know about them.
These safe exotic pets look like a combination of a hamster and a guinea pig. You’ll need to buy the degu in pairs as they are social creatures. Make sure you get degus of the same gender, or you’ll have many baby degus on your hands!
When planning for your degu, you can use the same cage and toys a rat or ferret would use. Keep in mind that they are active in the daytime and sleep at night.
This animal is illegal in certain states like Georgia, Connecticut, and California. Double-check your state’s rules on owning this animal before bringing one home.
These unique pets look like a cute, pink salamander. They come from Mexico, but you can find them in many specialty pet stores. You can buy axolotl online for an even easier way to get one into your house.
You don’t need a lot of skill to care for this pet. Make sure to buy a large tank and fill it with fresh water. The tank needs a good filter as this animal tends to make a mess.
The axolotl loves to eat bloodworms, shrimp, and ground beef. Besides feeding them, you’ll need to regularly change their water and clean their tank.
These interesting pets have quills on their heads, sides, and back with a furry belly. When threatened, they roll into a ball. With gentle practice, you can get them to stop this practice as they get more comfortable with you.
These animals stay small, with an adult hedgehog only reaching eight inches long. They don’t need a lot of grooming or attention, but they do act up more at night.
These pets need to have their own cages, as they don’t do well with other animals. Be aware that hedgehogs can transmit diseases like ringworm and salmonella to humans.
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful animal to call your own. These fun pets have beautiful colors and live a very long time.
You’ll need a big enclosure for your macaw. These birds are brilliant and require a lot of daily attention. If they get too lonely or anxious, they can get very loud.
Don’t let the size of these birds intimidate you. They are very affectionate creatures who can form an incredible bond with you. Make sure you have bird experience before making a macaw part of your family.
This rodent isn’t hard to find and is not very difficult to take care of. Their large ears, plump bodies, and long tail will enchant you. Chinchillas are affectionate but can also be shy.
If you own one of these animals, you’ll have to be extra observant of the temperature they live in. Chinchillas don’t do well in hot or humid environments. Make sure to keep their living space cool and dry, so they don’t get sick.
Are you hoping to add an exotic lizard to your home? If so, a leopard gecko is a popular and friendly lizard to own.
You’ll need a large tank for your gecko to live in. If you choose to add ultraviolet light to your dank, make sure there is also a place for your gecko to hide. Your leopard gecko will live on a diet of insects you can find at most pet stores.
Another popular exotic pet to own as a beginner is a bearded dragon. These pets are calm, happy, and not hard to care for.
You won’t need to worry about these lizards growing to a huge length, but you will need to make sure their tank is big enough. They should have both hot and cool areas in their tank to retreat to. You’ll feed your bearded dragon living insects and fresh vegetables.
Like all reptiles, these animals can transmit salmonella to humans. To avoid this, always wash your hands after touching them.
If you are someone who loves insects, a scorpion may be an exotic pet for you. These pets are easy to care for and don’t need much space. When you get a tank for your scorpion, make sure it is humid and warm enough.
Scorpions like to eat crickets and drink fresh water. They are nocturnal animals, so make feeding them part of your nightly routine.
These animals molt, which means they shed their outer shell. You don’t need to feed a scorpion when they are in the molting process.
The downside of having a scorpion is that you can’t cuddle with it. If it stings you, its venom can cause a lot of pain.
With Careful Thought, Owning Exotic Pets Can Be a Fulfilling Activity
Before buying any exotic pets, you need to do your research. Many exotic pets aren’t challenging to take care of, but some have specific needs. Checking your state laws before buying your exotic pet will ensure you don’t have an illegal animal.
