April, 2011

Dear Friends,

 

Spring is here!  Celebrate the warmer weather -

  • Take a long walk in the warmer air... and don't forget to take Max!  Walking on the concrete will help to keep his nails shorter.  Think of it as an emery board for your pet's nails.    
  • Visit a dog park and make some new friends.
  • Make that appointment for the vet and get Pepper's vaccinations up to date.
  • Take some new photos of Treasure with her friends - and send them out to everyone you know.  
  • Throw out some of the chew toys that have seen better days and surprise Chloe with something new!  

 

Sincerely,

 

Joelle Asmondy

A Grrrrr-eat Idea!

Basket Puppy

 

Have you every thought of having a

professional portrait taken of your beloved pet?  Not only will you have a wonderful keepsake of a treasured member of the family, but it could come in handy if he ever wanders off or goes missing.

The Easiest Pet Treat Recipe Ever!

This is one of those dog treat recipes that is perfect for dogs who love crunching on ice cubes. I know, I know, it's wintertime in many parts of the country. This a year-round treat in New Orleans!

 

1-2 cups Low-Sodium Chicken or Beef Stock

Pour stock into an ice cube tray (or 2!) and freeze.

 

Could that have been any easier?

Paragon Pet

of the Month

Meet Honey Deyoung, a sweet Shih Tzu mix who has been coming to Paragon since 2000.  She is a good girl who loves to snuggle.

Thank you, Barb, for bringing her to us every week.  We love her!

 

Notes From the Trainer

Few would debate that a solid, dependable structure requires a gooDog Partyd foundation.  The same can be said for solid, dependable behavior in your dog.Create a strong foundation and build from there.  Whether you are getting a new puppy or adopting an adult dog, you'll want to get started on that foundation right away.  Establish the value of good manners and cooperation.  Dogs do not come with human sensibilities; they come with canine instincts and priorities.  It is up to us to fairly and consistently guide them to appropriate behavior choices.

 

Learn more about foundation work with a private training session or join a class with Whiskers Resort and Pet Spa's Personal Pet Trainer.
