Baby It’s Cold Outside…

Yep, it is winter in Iowa and we all need to have our cold weather gear ready to go. We have doggie coats and sweaters. They are easy to put on, washable and oh so stylish. Warm sweaters, fleece coats and widbreaker jackets should be just what is needed to keep old man winter at bay.
Don’t forget about the tender feet. Salt on the sidewalk, snow balls stuck in paws and just the bitter cold can all be painful. Pictured is Cooper sporting his insulated boots. Paw rub, to moisturize and protect the pads is another option. Come in, take a look and see what you think will work best for your dog.

If you are not bringing your dog in for a “fitting” please take a few measurements. For coats measure around the neck, chest behind the front legs and then length along the back from collar to base of tail. For boots simply ask your dog to stand on a piece of paper and make a paw tracing.

Adoptable Cat of the Month, Pickles…

Adoptable Cat of the Month, Pickles…

Pickles is the hipster of the cat world. He loves to chase and run and play like any good kitten, but he is usually pretty chill. For the past several weeks Pickles has been living in our kitty foster home with four loving, loud, affectionate daughters age 3-10, so he is very used to being around kids. Pickles loves to run and jump and pounce and play with the other kittens, but he is all sweetness with our kids and never scratches or bites. Pickles has a funny knack for being discovered in rather human-ish positions when he is relaxing or grooming himself, and he loves being held on his back for a good tummy rub. He is quiet and sweet and patient and we hope you fall in love with him like we have!https://icanimalcenter.org/pages/directory/pickles-3393.php
