Tornado Relief--How You Can Help!

Click here to donate via our website. There are two categories for monetary donations: food OR collars/leashes/bowls/crates/flea & tick products. Follow the links for more details. Your help is greatly needed and appreciated! Together with Mann’s Best Friend in Oklahoma City, we are gathering and sending relief supplies to Oklahoma. Mann’s Best Friend is a brick and mortar holistic pet supply store like we are, and also a Red Cross drop off. They will help the supplies get to the areas in which they are needed.

 

What they are most in need of is:

  • Crates or kennels
  • Dishes
  • Leashes and collars
  • Food
  • Flea & Tick prevention

 

We are also offering 20% off on all collars and leashes through the end of May.   It’s the perfect time to purchase a new collar and leash for your pet, and donate your old ones!  Donation boxes are available in both our stores.

If you are purchasing new collars or leashes to donate, don’t forget to shop our bargain table in Mukwonago!

You can make monetary donations in any amount at either of our stores at the register, or online at www.endoftheleash.com.

Thank you for reaching out to those in need!

Itchy, Owie!

Okay, you’re already feeding a raw diet to your pet…rotating proteins frequently…supplementing with digestive enzymes/probiotics, omega 3s and coconut oil…

…Why is your pet still miserable with his allergies?

Educate yourself about another possible trigger and what to do about it from Dr. Becker in her article, “The Critter Invasion That Can Make Your Pet’s Life Miserable (Not Fleas)”.

So just what are these little critters? None other than DUST MITES. Read the full article at healthypets.mercola.com to learn more about them, the symptoms of dust mite allergies in your pets, and how to diagnose and treat it as well.

This Week’s Adoptable Pet

Click the photo to visit End of the Leash’s facebook page for a full write-up and lots more photos of Minion!The lucky family that adopts this pet featured here on our blog will receive a coupon from Lakeland good for a “congratulations” gift bag from End of the Leash!

To learn more about how to adopt through Lakeland, please visit their adoption page.  You may also give them a call at 262.723.1000.

Minion from Lakeland is featured here today.

Minion lived in a household in Lyons, WI, in which a fire destroyed and afterward his owners were unable to keep him.

He is in need of a loving, furever home! Here’s a little bit about him…Minion is fab. He loves to sit on your lap and just hang out. He is a junkie for carrots, celery and apples - treats give him instant energy and he runs hot laps around his pigloo like a nut. He needs a home where he will get lots of cuddles and attention.”

For his whole story, please visit our Facebook page.

Obligate Carnivore…What Does That Mean?

Check out this article by Margaret Gates:  Answers: What Exactly is an “Obligate Carnivore?”

Learn what your cat needs to eat (and not eat) and why.

Snax the Tortoise Shell. Used with permission. Photo by J. Slight.Here’s the short answer from a post on the Feline Nutrition Education Society website:

All cats, small or large, are true carnivores, obligate carnivores. This means they must eat meat to survive. Cats cannot be vegetarians. Because they evolved to fill this top predator niche, their bodies are specifically geared for processing a prey-based diet. This is as true for a tiger as it is for the cat on your lap.

Raw feeding is a way to feed cats a more natural diet. By natural we mean species-appropriate. A diet that fits their true nutritional requirements. The benefits to your cat are enormous.

 

The Feline Nutrition Education Society website is chock-full of information on feline nutrition and health.  They have an extensive Resource Center as well.
