The People Whisperer

You know, there is a whole lot of press concerning those folks who can relate well to dogs. Cesar Milan comes to mind. However, I have never heard  much about dogs that know their people. My Kodi always knew just when I needed a special nudge. Even bad dog Marley of the infamous “Marley and Me” knew when his Mama had a setback with her pregnancy and comforted her. The soft brown melting look that quietly speaks of understanding. My point, dogs provide us more than we could ever provide them.

With that in mind,  I am  passionate about a new project in the neighborhood. A little girl with Autism only needs $1500.00 more for a service dog that will provide her with an unlimited amount of support, guidance and love. In an effort to contribute, I am donating all proceeds from the first month of sales for all new autoship customers with HealthyPetNet while she is reaching her goal. My first event will be held this evening at the Shop Til You Drop night at Tranformations in Odenton, MD from 4:30-7:30pm.  My goal is 5 new customers receiving dog food right to their door. Simple. Infact, for those who cannot attend, shoot me an e-mail info@HealthyPetRegimen.com and I will enter you in the contest for the goodies I am raffling off. Not only can you buy your pet a wholesome dinner, but donate to charity at the same time. Not one extra dime out of your pocket.

Nothing Funny About Salmonella

I have a tendency to joke about most things. Especially when I am uncomfortable. But, when I read the latest information about a possible salmonella scare again in the pet food industry, I had nothing to joke about.  Salmonella will make pets sick as evidenced by the 2007 pet food recall. Hundreds, maybe thousands of dogs and cats may have died. Once again, we are witnessing another pet food recall.  I began doing a little researching. I didn’t realize that even just touching dry dog food is enough to pass the salmonella.  That even a dog that appears well could be contaminated and pass the salmonella on without anyone the wiser. The obvious signs of infection for both humans and pets would be nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.
