  • Pet Care...It's Up to You.

    Most people realize that having a pet is quite a responsibility. Our pets rely on us for everything relating to their care...from food and water, to nail trimming and other grooming, to socializing. Once we began domesticating animals we developed an implied "pact" with them that we would give them the attention they deserve and return the love they provide us.

    CoCo, a rescued and spoiled dog Natural Raw Pet Food


    Choosing the proper food for your particular pet can have more of a positive impact on their health than you might imagine. Pets are no different than people in this regard. I happen to be lactose-intolerant meaning milk and some dairy products are just not my friends.

    My Siberian Husky, Nikki, who died of old age 8 years ago, could not manage any food that had a rice or noodle base. It was up to me to not only notice that this was a problem for her, but to make sure that she received the proper vitamins and minerals from the foods she could and did consume.

    My other husky, Roc, had epileptic seizures from the time he was about 6 years old until he died at the age of 11. After doing research online, I moved him to a raw foods diet which did seem to help us control his seizures to some extent.

    The Rose Cottage resident pet is a dog, so dogs...their food, care, and toys, will be the focus. This is not to be taken as disrespect for the feline world!

    This little guy to the upper right, CoCo, is fortunately very healthy except for the occasional dry skin, itchy-scratchy. CoCo is a rescued dog and a very lucky boy.

    CoCo has his own recommendations on some pretty cool stuff for dogs and a few other things for pets in general - food & toys, grooming aids and medicines...which he will add as he finds them.

    These first few recommendations top his list of "new and cool" for dogs:


    Ring Zinger Chase

    Ring Zinger Chase Game

    All dogs love the chase - CoCo is no exception!

    Don't leave home without the new Ring Zinger Chase Game that lets you launch a plastic ring that soars through the air - bounces, turns and rolls on the ground (even floats in water.)

    Provide your pet with the exercise he needs and you will LOVE the "slobber-free" re-loading feature!

    Pet Sensing Doorbell Pet Sensing Doorbell

    Great for those with no thumbs!

    This is the cordless doorbell that chimes only when a dog or cat wearing a "smart key" approaches. The unobtrusive smart key attaches to a pet's collar and transmits a coded signal that rings the doorbell when it (and your pet), come within range (adjustable from 6" to 3').

    The tone sounds for about seven seconds and repeats every five to 10 seconds. Its volume adjusts to four levels--to a maximum volume of 101 decibels, or the unit can be turned off. It comes with one smart key and can be used with up to five pets.

    The sturdy ABS housing mounts within 24" of the floor near the door opening, and includes a low-battery indicator and a picture holder. Batteries provide power for six to 10 months; doorbell requires three C batteries, smart key uses an included RFA-67 battery. 5"H x 8-3/4" W x 2-1/4" D. (12 oz.)

    Safest Pet Nail Clipper

    Safest Pet Nail Clipper

    This is the only nail clipper that takes the guesswork and trauma out of trimming your pet's nails by sensing the correct cutting depth, preventing you from cutting into the quick--the sensitive tissue below the nail line. Upon inserting your pet's nail between the clipper's blades, a built-in sensor distinguishes between nail tissue and the quick and lights a green LED when a safe trimming depth is reached. A firm squeeze of the easy-to-grip handles cleanly and painlessly clips the nail in one smooth motion.

    For dogs (up to 75 lbs.), cats, and other small animals. Includes two LR44 batteries. 5-3/4" H x 2" W x 9-1/4" L. (7 oz.)
