Purina and Milo's Kitchen Dog Treat Recall

I want to make sure everyone has heard about this recall of dog treats. Purina has recalled Waggin' Train and Canyon Creek Ranch treats as well as they will no longer be available for sale in the US. Milo's Kitchen has done the same thing for their Chicken Jerky and Chricken Grillers home-style dog treats.

This is due to the fact they may contain a trace of a poultry antibiotic that is legal in China and Eurpoe but not in the US. If you have any of these treats please do not feed anymore to your dog.

I encourage you to read the following article from CBS NEWS.

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- # 24 & 25

So this is the end of the Christmas countdown. I hope you have found a few things to make your dogs holidays special.

24. Frosty Paws Ice Cream ($4-6)

Maverick is a huge fan of ice cream but I have to make sure I give him puppy ice cream. He loves this brand! You can find them at most grocery stores.

25! Grandma Lucy's  ($5)

Grandma Lucy's donated some samples to the dog event I put on the fall and Maverick fell in love with them. They are an amazing company and the treats are very yummy!

Almost done...

22. Tennis Balls ($3-8)

What dog doesn't love tennis balls? I know my dog does!! And in my house you can never have enough tennis balls. You can stock up on these pretty much everywhere and they will make a great addition to your dogs stocking!

23. Thundershirt ($39.95)

I am very lucky that my dog does not have needs that would require a Thundershirt to help but I am glad dogs have that option available. I have heard from real users that this is a great tool to help with all kinds of anxiety issues for pets.

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- # 20 & 21

Let's keep counting down...

20. Harry Barker Food and Water Bowl ($20-28 each)

I love this pattern from Harry Barker. They are a local Charleston company!
21. Up Country Collar and Leash ($20-21 each)

Make sure to go to Up Country's website to see all the cute collars and leashes they make. I love their holiday collection for this year.

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- #18 & 19

And the Countdown Continues...

18. Collection of Plastic Toys (Price Varies)

I just thought this was a great idea for the Summer time. Take a collection of dog appropriate plastic toys and freeze them in a huge block of ice. The ice will keep the dog cool during the really hot summer months but finding the toys will keep the dog entertained. What a great fun treat for the Summer!

19. Plastic Swimming Pool ($10)

These can be great play tools for your dog all year long. In the summer you can fill the pool with water for your dog to play in and during the winter you can fill the pool with sand and bury toys in it. This way it gives them a place to dig and find fun toys along the way.

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- #14, 15, 16, 17

We are in the second half of the countdown to the 25 Puppy Things of Christmas and today's items are different. So keep an open mind today...

14. Pet Photos (Price Varies)

This is a picture of us with Maverick that was taken by a photographer. Find local photographers in your area to have them take some pictures of you pet as well as some family photos.

15. Adopt a Brother/Sister for your pet (Price Varies)

Pet Helpers is a local shelter on James Island here in Charleston, SC. They have the friendliest volunteers that really want to make sure you find the right pet for you.

16. Subscription to Lowcountry Dog Magazine ($25 per year)

Lowcountry Dog Magazine is a great way to find out the events that are going on the Lowcountry of South Carolina. There are ads to help you find a vet, boarding, grooming or even photographer. Plus there are heartwarming stories from pets in the Lowcountry.

17. Lowcountry Dog Magazine T-Shirt ($30)

The great thing about this shirt is that $5 from each shirt sold will go to a rescue or shelter of your choice. So you can get a cute t-shirt and help the animals. It is a win-win situation!
