  • We are proud to be hosting cats from two local animal shelters in the area, here at The Animal House. The Lincoln County Animal Shelter and the Humane Society of Knox County are now both featuring cats. As the influx of people come into the area for the summer, so increases the number of animals at the already busy shelters. If you or you know someone who may be looking for cats/kittens bring yourself and your friends down to The Animal House to see how loving these cats are.

    Both shelters will be supplying The Animal House all summer long.

    Remember you can always keep an eye on the kitties via the Kitty Cam.

    Loki came to us courtesy of Petfinder, via Canine Guardians for Life. Loki, a firecracker of a doggie, has special dietary needs. This month, we will be featuring Loki’s diet as an example of what we feed our own four-legged family:

    Age: approx 6 years
    Breed: Border Collie mix
    Issue: Seizures of indeterminate cause
    Loki’s protocol: Loki has always been fed a grain-free raw diet, but Dr.
    Strobbe of Medomak Veterinary Care recommended that we change her protein to
    a more “cooling” food, such as turkey or duck. Cooling foods help with
    hyperactivity in the brain (or in Loki’s case, generalized hyperactivity!).
    Treats:_ Barkwheats Chamomile, Stella & Chewy’s Duck
    Food: Sojo’s Complete Dehydrated Grain-Free Turkey
    Supplements: Settle Seizures from Herbsmith, NaturVet probiotics
    Etc: Dr. Strobbe has done a few rounds of Acupuncuture.

    Since we started her on this regime,…voila! Seizure free!

  • woofIt is finally here… after weeks of putting together a few minutes here and there. The Woofstock web site is finally launched. As always, please tell everyone you know about Woofstock2009, as all the proceeds for this event goes to charity. More of a cat person? Keep in mind, doggies and cats all benefit from this fund raiser, and not to mention the education and awareness to pet adoption. Be a Hero!
