Summer Time Fun

This summer we are very busy, but we still have time for our favorite Kids! LOL Daisy and Scooby love to go for walks to the park and through the neighborhood. It is a great adventure for all of us. The neighborhood has changed so much seeing a lot of new faces this past year. Time to make some new friends.

How is your summer going? Have you done anything fun?

Wordless Wednesday- Homemade Dog Treats!

Homemade dog treats are the best. These pupcakes are made with pumpkin and frosted with non-fat yogurt. Testing out new recipes this week and our taste testers just loved them. The best part our dog with a very sensitive stomach can have them. Since we don't use any preservatives or fillers, which make her sick, it does make a big difference. Feeding Daisy natural dog food and treats is the only way to go. We are very happy with our choice. What food and treats do you feed your pets? 

 

Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Pet Safety Tips for Easter

Easter is this Sunday. Where is the time going? Just can't believe it is spring and the spring holidays are here. We love to celebrate this time of year. And our pets can enjoy the holiday too. We just need to make it safe for them. Here are a few tips to keep your dogs and cats safe.

 

1. Keep the fake grass away from them. Cats and dogs like to chew on this. It can make them really sick, so use paper instead. You can shred green tissue paper and it will make your Easter basket look good.

 

2. Our cats love to chew on plants so be careful if you purchase Easter lilies. They are very toxic to cats. So find a safe place for them, so they won't be disturbed or just don't purchase them and be on the safe side. Better safe then sorry!!

 

3. Keep those Chocolate bunnies away. Chocolate is toxic to both cats and dogs. It's ok to have in the house, just keep it out of their reach.

 

4. Plastic Easter eggs are also a hazard. If they chew and swallow a piece it may indicate that you have to go to the vet to have it removed. Which is very expensive and something you don't want to go through. So keeping those plastic eggs away is a must.

 

 Have a Happy Passover and Happy Easter!

Pet Treat Recall-Where to buy Safe Treats

Every day I keep hearing about new recalls, recently it's  been on pet treats. Since all the recalls on commercial pet foods I am not surprised by all the pet treats being recalled. It seems like someone is finally keeping an eye out for our animals. It should not have taken so long. If you feed your pets treats from the store, you should check to see if you purchased a recalled item.

Kasel Associates Industries Inc. announced a wide range of meat-based dog treats suspected of Salmonella contamination. The products were manufactured between April 20 and September 19, 2012 and distributed to a number of retailers, including Target, Petco, Sam’s Club and Costco.

Kasel has previously announced three recall notices for specific products manufactured during this time, after the Colorado Department of Agriculture found Salmonella in a retail sample of a Kasel product. Follow-up testing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found that 100 percent of tested products, as well as 48 out of 87 environmental samples, were contaminated with one of 10 Salmonella strains.

Affected brands include Boots & Barkley, Bixbi, Nature's Deli, K9 Chicken, TDBBS and Nutri-Pet.

 

Bravo just recalled 2lb tubes of Chicken blend raw-frozen diet food for dogs and cats because of possible salmonella contamination.

 

This is a small list and does not cover every recall, for more information, you can check this website daily to find out the most recent recalls just go to fda.gov

Here at Ledfoots Pet Bakery we make our own treats in small batches using the finest human grade ingredients. We do not use a manufacture of any kind, like companies in the latest recalls.  Because these other companies are using the same manufacturer there is a greater chance of cross contamination. That is why you hear of so many recalls at once. Ledfoots pet treats are never mass produced. We are proud of that. Yes, our treats are a little more expensive, but you do get what you pay for. Your pets will be much happier and healthier and you will be proud to give them a healthy safe treat that's made with love.
