Lazy Day is your chance to goof off, and definitely not work. And, it definitely comes at a good time. Hot, muggy weather makes it easy to kick back and be lazy for a day. If summer chores are not done by now, they can just wait one more day. It is best spent on a hammock, along with your favorite summer beverage....

Meet BamBam

in Doggie Cakes, Meet the Doggie Cakes Family

BamBam has been apart of my life (Trina) since 1992, that’s right 20 years. He is still as feisty as ever. He is a colorful conure who knows how to get your attention by laughing, coughing, screaming and barking. His favorite toy is a cardboard box. During his young years he loved to swim and on many occasions would float around the pool with me. After Jason became part of the family, BamBam’s devotion has shifted slightly. Oh, yes BamBam loves Jason, even to the point where he will regurgitate food for him. Here at Doggie Cakes, BamBam has become the security guard. Nothing gets past him and he...

Meet Cosmo Kramer

in Doggie Cakes, Life with Dogs, Meet the Doggie Cakes Family

It is hard to believe that it has been almost 12 years since Cosmo Kramer came into our lives. He was tiny but full of mouth. Oh yes, he has always had a lot to say and never been afraid to tell you what is on his mind. He was not your usual Mini Pinscher. Never one to play with toys or go for a good run, Cosmo prefers to cuddle up on the coach under a cozy blanket, of course a good butt scratch is always appreciated. Ever since he was young he has been a foodie. Always willing to try...

What is Carob?

in Doggie Cakes, Pet Health Care

The two typical questions I get, from customers are, “That’s not chocolate is it?” and “What is carob?” Carob is not chocolate and is OK for both your dog and yourself. It is free of the alkaloid and addictive effects of caffeine and theobromine present in cocoa. The tree (Ceratonia siliqua) is from the legume (pea) family. It grows anywhere citrus can be grown. Typically it is found in the Mediterranean. You may have also heard carob trees called St John’s bread or the locust bean. Carob comes from a tropical pod that a contains sweet, edible seeds. The fruit of...

National Dog Bite Prevention Week – May 20th – 26th

in Doggie Cakes, Holidays, Life with Dogs

This week is National Dog Bite Prevention Week. It is very important to help educate not only dog owners but non dog owners on how to prevent a dog bite. An average of 45 million people are bitten by dogs a year. 800,000 Americans receive medical attention for those bites. There are a number of things we can do to help lower these numbers. 1. Properly training your dog goes a long way. Making sure your pet can understand and complete basic commands, like sit, stay and come. 2.

Earth Day and your pets Carbon Paw Print

in Doggie Cakes, Holidays, Life with Dogs

Tomorrow many us will be taking part in the 42nd Annual Earth Day. I remember learning about the environment and the effect we all have on it. For years, I have tried to change small habits in my daily life to become more green and reduce my own carbon foot print. What about my pets? There must be better choices I could be making to have greener pets. After some research, I found a few simple things I could do. Use biodegradable poop bags. Spay and neuter to reduce the overpopulation Making your own dog food from locally grown or organic vegetables. This eliminates...

Senior to Senior Program

in Community, Doggie Cakes, Life with Dogs

At the Pawfest event here in Largo, FL we meet a wonderful lady named Fran. She volunteers with the Pinellas County Animal Services for a program called Senior-to-Senior. Tragically as the shelters fill during these years of economic hardship, the number of senior pets has also increased. They are relinquished due to ill health, incontinence, other age-related issues, lack of funds, or the owner passing away. These older pets are very likely to remain in the shelter for the remainder of their life or be euthanized to make room for more adoptable animals. This great program is trying to help these loving pets enjoy their remaining life in a happy home....

in Doggie Cakes, Holidays, Life with Dogs, Pet Health Care

Did you know there was a Pet ID week? Lets take advantage of it and learn why your pet should have some kind of identification. The best chance of having your pet returned safe and sound is through their ID. One out of three pets get lost at some point in their life. Sadly 90% of pets without current ID are never returned to their families. There a few different types to chose from. 1. Dog Tag – They are usually plastic or metal with your pet’s name and your contact information. I recommend using your cell phone number. Think about it. ...
