The average dog eats an average of 13,000 treats in a lifetime, shouldn't they be wholesome , organic, natural.....


Start with Breakfast Biscuits, a delightful blend of apples,bananas and maple oats.
  These are sooo delicious , humans love them too! and with human grade ingredients baked in a licensed human bakery well go ahead folks and try one. Now seriously, how's that for sharing?

 Looking for a mid-day snack?Wagatha's Wheat Free Cranberry Cheddar Biscuits (with a hint of mint) are Chef Norm's favorite flavor. Cranberries are known to help with urinary tract health and spearmint combats "dog breath." (Ah, relief for dogs and owners!)

Tuscan as a late day snackWagatha's Wheat Free Tuscan Biscuits are a delightfully aromatic taste of Italy, and a great source of lycopene, and vitamins A & C. ...who doesn't like Pizza?

Dogs crave routine. With soothing holistic ingredients including chamomile, ginger, and decaffeinated green tea, the  "Bedtime Biscuits" are  the perfect way to end a busy day!
Also great for stressful situations; car rides, trips to the vet, etc.

There are even more Wagatha Formulas...find your favorite.

after all feeding your best friend a quality dog food and then choosing an unhealthy snack is counter productive

Learn More about Organic Ear Wash

Dog ear cleaning is an important part of dog hygiene. Some dogs are more susceptible to ear infections than others. Floppy-eared or furry-eared dogs, such as the cocker spaniel, are prone to ear infections. Lack of air circulation within the ear, accumulation of moisture, bacteria, fungi or mites can cause dog-ear infections.

The product you choose is also important as well as seeking veterinary attention to rule out any problems requiring medical treatment.

Heal, Nuture, Bond with Canine Massage

[caption id="attachment_208" align="alignright" width="130" caption="Aroma Paws Massage Lotion"][/caption]

  Dog massage includes a variety of techniques -- some centuries old and others quite new.  It has been used to calm show dogs, to relieve pain in working dogs, and to increase energy and focus in agility dogs.  Now it is available to improve the quality of your pet’s life.
    Massage is part of a complete wellness program for your dog.  A massage will relax muscles, invigorate circulation, and stimulate key acupressure points.  Massage does not substitute for veterinary care, but complements it.  Regular massage can often bring important changes in your pet’s condition to your attention so that medical advice can be sought before the problem becomes advanced.

Dogs of All Ages Can Benefit From Massage

Puppies & Young Dogs

• Helps them accept handling by vets, groomers, etc.

Adult Dogs

• Detects early changes that may signal injury or disease

Elderly Dogs

Why do dogs need massage?

  
   Dogs today live in much better conditions, but they are often bored and underexercised. Massage can relax tension while also stimulating both mind and body.  It is especially helpful as our animals’ life spans lengthen.  Our world has changed -- and our pets’ needs have changed with it.

Some benefits of dog massage:

• Comforts tired muscles & relieves pain


• Increases circulation


• Strengthens body by stimulating muscles


• Maintains & restores flexibility


• Increases dog’s self-esteem & lessens behavioral issues


• Enhances body awareness


• Gains acceptance of touch, especially to paws


• Increases caretaker’s awareness of changes in animal


• Empowers owners to work with & help their pets


• Enhances bonding & relationship with humans


• Gives back to dogs something they can’t do for themselves


• Increased circulation, which can improve a dog's health.


• Earlier awareness of lumps and unusual growths.


• Deeper attachment between dog and owner, allowing them to bond further.


• Extended praise for the dog.


• Increased acceptance of handling by the dog.


• Stress and heart rate reduction for the owner.


• Reduced stress by lowering the dog's heart rate and providing a quiet, relaxing experience.

Ann Tarvin learned her dog massage skills from canine massage pioneer Jonathan Rudinger at the PetMassage Training and Research Institute in Toledo, Ohio.  She holds Practitioner and Instructor Level Certificates in Dog Massage and also a Certificate in WaterWork for dogs. She is a member of the International Association of Animal Massage and Bodywork.

 

Consult your dog's veterinarian before beginning a massage program.If working with a fragile dog or one with limited mobility due to a joint problem, an injury, or surgery, knowledge of canine anatomy and biomechanics is essential, says Carla Campbell, a Seeing Eye graduate and canine masseuse in Menlo Park, Calif. In those situations, it really does pay to call in a pro, she advises.

 

Just as pleasant scents and relaxing music contribute a positive effect during human massage, so is the same for your dog.

When It's time to say Farewell my Friend

Karen Litzinger, Licensed Professional Counselor, was inspired to create this CD following the deaths of her two dogs within four months. It takes you on a healing journey with words of wisdom, comforting affirmations, an inspirational reading, a guided meditation, and soothing harp music. The CD is 49 minutes with an accompanying 20-page booklet insert that provides insight, healing strategies and practical resources. The gentle, grounded words in this CD

are like a dear friend comforting you during your time of grief.  For you in your time of need or as a caring gift for a friend.

Karen, Pepper and Zep

Just as I found comfort in listening to a special music CD as I grieved for Pepper, I hope that some part of this CD will help in the healing process for you or the person to whom you give the CD.  I was further motivated on my journey to create this CD when my 13 year old dog, Zep, died just four months after Pepper.  The loss of my dogs is what inspired me to dedicate this CD to my beloved dog children, Pepper and Zep.

Karen Litzinger's Journey with Animals: My inspiration for the Healing Hearts pet loss CD came while driving home from the veterinarian with the cremains of my 15 year old dog, Pepper, who I had since a puppy from a local rescue league.  Originally I wanted to create something that a vet could give grieving clients right after the euthanasia procedure to supplement the personal support and follow-up sympathy card.  I created a pet loss booklet for veterinarians, but the CD is what I hope will serve those experience pet loss grief in a more profound way.
