Community Solar in Oregon – A win/win for customers and the planet!

May 12, 2021

GREEN TIP FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVING: Sign Up For Community Solar!   You too can have solar power, even if you can’t afford to put panels up! Oregon has a wonderful new program that supports the development of solar energy and also saves you money on your utility bills! We know that about 75% of carbon emissions come from extracting and burning fossil fuels, and that generating clean renewable energy with solar panels is a great way to curb these heat trapping emissions, but very few of us have the money

Belated Earth Day Post: Orca Conservation

May 11, 2021

Happy Earth Day! We had an amazing turnout for Raffle Tickets, raising $1302 for the Orca Conservancy. If you missed the raffle, we’re here to tell you that there are certainly other ways you can help! First, learn more about orcas: If you were designing a t-shirt using artwork representing iconic symbols of the Pacific NW, you might choose an evergreen tree, Mt. Hood, perhaps a beer stein, and almost certainly an orca and a salmon. All of these things (minus the beer) are in need of protection, but none

Alternative Ways To Maintain Dental Health

March 27, 2021

In our last blog post, we discussed the benefits and risks of many of our favorite chews. Chewing/gnawing is how our dogs and cats have evolved to keep their teeth clean. However, some of our animals (some seniors, some with a history of extractions, etc) aren’t able to chew and gnaw as easily as others. This post is a discussion of other ways to provide oral care. Check out the similarity of the tiger and the house cat teeth, and between the Wolf skull and the dog’s teeth below it.

A Discussion About Chews For Dogs (And a Few For Cats)!

March 12, 2021

This is a two part article written for our newsletter for February, dental health month. This first part discusses the pros and cons of some of the chews we carry. There are certainly a lot of safety considerations to be made when you’re choosing any dog chew. You have to factor in how tenacious and destructive your chewer is to make sure she doesn’t break off and swallow big pieces, whether they’re the type that needs to be supervised so that they don’t choke on or gulp down something that

Which Covid Products Can Be Recycled?

August 21, 2020

Many of us are using more cleaning and personal protective items these days and it can be confusing which items go in the garbage and which can be recycled. Here’s a quick guide Garbage: Face masks and face shields Used facial tissues and paper towels Plastic gloves All wipes (even those labelled flushable or biodegradable) and wipe bags and boxes Empty hand sanitizer bottles smaller than 6 oz Make sure all garbage is bagged and securely tied to avoid litter to protect the safety of waste collectors and the community. Recycling: Cardboard boxes from tissues, soap

Come!

August 6, 2020

The “Come!” command is one of the very most important things we can teach our dog. A reliable recall is imperative to get them quickly to safety, to recover them if they happen to get out the door, and to proactively remove them from a situation at the dog park that might evolve into trouble. It’s also a wonderful luxury when you are in a safe quiet place to be able to have your dog off leash and know you can get him right back when you want to. Green

Drop It!

July 6, 2020

Note: this is an article in a recent series of puppy training articles – see the bottom of this page for links! We know many people during Covid may lack a lot of options when it comes to puppy classes. They do exist in Portland, but these days they are often filled up too quickly, as there are SO MANY  new puppies right now.  Even if you can find open classes, maybe you don’t feel that comfortable about leaving the house right now. Whatever the reason, I’m hoping to help

Study Finds No Link Between Grain-Free Diets and DCM in Dogs

July 3, 2020

This article is reprinted from Pets Plus Magazine because we think they worded it well: A new study failed to find a definitive relationship between grain-free and legume-rich diets and dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs. A group of veterinarians, veterinary cardiologists and animal nutritionists from BSM Partners, a pet care research and consulting firm, examined more than 150 studies for the analysis. “Additionally, the FDA’s reported cases of DCM include incomplete information, making it impossible to draw any sound conclusions from this data,” according to a press release from BSM.
