"Argh!  My Dog Always Rolls Around in the Smelliest Stuff Right after Coming Home From the Groomer!"


You aren't alone!  As groomers, we hear this complaint all the time.  Why do they do it?  Here are some common answers to that question:

  • The Stinkier, the Better!  Dogs just don't think smelling like a dumpster is embarrassing.  Nor do they shy away from some of the more potent - and disgusting - stuff.
  • It's a fact finding mission.  Dogs have a much more sensitive sense of smell than humans, and they can get a lot of information about the creature that deposited the, uh, deposit.    
  • They like to share.  Rolling in icky stuff is a great way to share what you found with your friends when you don't have thumbs or pockets.
  • "I'm incognito."  Want to disguise your scent?  Cover it up!  We use perfume.  Dogs prefer something a little more organic.

Cat Crackers

 

Here's a Great Homemade Treat Recipe for You Cat Lovers!

 

cat in bowl

6 ounces of undrained tuna

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/3 cup water

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Measure all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands.  Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into treat sized pieces.  Place on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden.  Let cool.  Give to your cat and watch them gobble it up!
