Miracle for Annabelle!

2010-01-09T12:48:00.000-08:00

I'm sure every pet lover has had something happen at one time or another to their beloved pet. You know the one where they're in pain and you don't know what to do.

The last time Annabelle had an emergency trip to the vet I had no idea what was wrong with her. Her belly was round and hard, she wouldn't eat or take a treat, when I was finally able to get her to go outside she just sat there and wouldn't move.

After a number of hours had gone by, thinking that it would pass, it was still the same so I took her in to see her vet. A couple of hundred dollars out of pocket, x-rays taken and three medicine prescriptions later she was diagnosed with back pain and released to go home. Prednisone, a muscle relaxant and an antibiotic for three weeks and in time she was back to being herself.

On the eve of this new year Annabelle and her best friend, Chloe, decided to duke it out. I have no idea what their fight was about, I don't even think they knew. After almost knocking down the Christmas trees, glass balls shattering around them, the fight ended and all was quiet and back to normal. The next day, however, was a different story.

She woke up moving slow. Wouldn't eat or take a treat. Couldn't go through the doggie door or down the back steps out to the grass. When I did get her out finally I had to carry her back in as she just stood out in the cold not wanting to move.

Being a holiday I waited the day out to see if she'd improve. The next day was more of the same so I called the vet's office and they were able to refill one of the previous medications she had had before without me having to bring her in to be examined. I started her on the meds and then heard from a friend that her co-worker's dad was an animal chiropractor and could possibly help Annabelle. The downside was that he was about an hours drive away.

In the meantime, my friend sent me another email telling me of an animal chiropractor in the Charlotte area and I gave them a call. A little while later I had an appointment with Dr. Darcey.
Wow, what a miracle!

A 15-minute adjustment and Annabelle was like a new dog. Once we got home and she got out of the car, she was running, eating, happy and back to her usual loving self. And all without putting her through unnecessary x-rays or having to take any more medicine. It was less stressful on her and the results were almost instantaneous.

Both myself and Annabelle are very thankful for Dr. Darcey and her wonderful care! She's a miracle worker and Annabelle's newest best friend.

(For more about Dr. Darcey take a look at her website Omni Animal Chiropractic.)

Urban Hund

2009-10-06T14:16:00.000-07:00

Barkley Paws Pet Boutique is always looking for up-to-date, stylish, unique and well-made products for your dog. One of the manufacturers of great quality dog collars and leashes is Urban Hund.

Urban Hund began as the result of a relentless pursuit to find a quality leather collar and leash.

Founded in 2003 in Chicago, as a pet accessory design and wholesale distribution company. Urban Hund's mission is to provide quality-crafted leather dog collars and leashes, uniquely designed to reflect the combined personality of dog and owner. Urban Hund is for pet owners who wish to pamper their dog with a quality product that reflects urban style and sensibility.

Time To Get Out and Walk!

2009-10-05T17:12:00.001-07:00

Fall has arrived at Barkley Paws Pet Boutique and so have some wonderful new harnesses!

It's the perfect weather now to get outside and take your dog for a walk in one of these stylish dog harnesses by Doggles/Mutt Gear. There is one for every dog, big or small. Be sure to check out our reflective dog harnesses too!

Many people use dog harnesses for training purposes, as well as for safety, security, and comfort. A harness distributes the weight around a dog's body as he pulls, preventing the choking effect that collars can have on the more vigorous pullers - preventing injury to dogs with a fragile trachea or other health related issues.

Check out the dog harnesses at Barkley Paws today! And remember...your dog should always wear a collar with his/her current ID.

Dirty and Hairy

2009-08-18T19:47:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a good day today!

This morning I gave Annabelle a bath. She wasn't too happy with me. She knew what was going to happen when I took the shampoo out of the cupboard, bless her soul. When it was finished she was as happy as can be and could hardly contain herself waiting for me to get her treat out of the container. Next will be her hair cut. More joy!

How about your dog?
Is he or she dirty and hairy?
Or is it just time for a bath?

Dirty and Hairy products have been created to appeal to the modern desire for natural pet care.

• Competitive pricing for natural formulas.
• Infused with citronella to repel bugs and fleas...naturally!
• No harsh detergents or artificial colors
• Human grade materials - safe for puppies and other pets

Barkley Paws Pet Boutique is proud to carry Dirty and Hairy's products. Make sure you check out their shampoo, conditioner and pet spray when there's not enough time for a bath.

Complete Natural Nutrition

2009-08-14T19:29:00.000-07:00

I don't know how many of you have had to put their dog on a diet because they've put on some extra pounds, but I'm one of them. My dog, Annabelle was told by the vet that she needed to lose 3 pounds. That's not a lot for us, but on a little dog it was a lot.

I cut back her food intake, switched to a low fat food, but felt guilty of not being able to reward her with any but green beans. I looked for treats that would be satisfying yet healthy for her and it was nearly impossible to find any dog treats that weren't high in fat, calories or carbohydrates.

Now I've found Complete Natural Nutrition!

Complete Natural Nutrition believes that Mother Nature designed natural nutrition in real whole foods NOT in commercial foods full of fattening calories, fillers, sugar, salt and chemicals. Sadly, many of the treats fed today are full of junk and contribute very little to the over all well-being of our pets except obesity and long term health problems.

Real Food Toppers, Terräbone Dental and Cheese Please represent a new generation of US made nutritional supplement. When choosing a diet or a treat for your beloved pet, always do what's best - read ingredient statements.

In 2005, Complete Natural Nutrition set out to develop products that would make a significant difference in the daily lives of dogs and cats. They understood that pet parents did not need another treat, cookie, raw hide or body part to feed their companion pet. Rather, they set out to provide frustrated pet parents with treat solutions for their beloved pets; pets with specific health issues like diabetes, overweight, finicky, allergies or on restricted diets. They set out to provide discriminating pet parents, who read labels and who want US made, US sourced ingredients with the world's healthiest treats.

Complete Natural Nutrition is first and foremost a nutrition company with its own board certified animal nutritionist. Each ingredient is hand-picked for nutritional integrity and its short and long term health consequences. Our ingredient statements are short with few ingredients and they follow a strict philosophy that 'less is more' - 'simple is better', just like Mother Nature intended. They believe that dogs and cats are eating way too much processed food, too much sugar, too much salt and too much refined carbohydrates - all things you will never find at Complete Natural Nutrition.

Barkley Paws Pet Boutique is proud to be an online retailer for Complete Natural Nutrition and the products they offer. I know these are treats your dogs will love and you can feel good giving them.

26 Bars & A Band

2009-08-12T17:41:00.000-07:00

Barkley Paws Pet Boutique has a wide selection of items from various manufacturers. My desire is to add something new to the site every day.

One of things I'd like to do is to individually feature my manufactures who make the most fantastic dog supplies that I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Today I'm featuring 26 Bars & A Band:

Their founders Mike and Sandi Kaneko strive to make adorable pet products that are reasonably priced. For years Sandi created things around their home always looking to improve what's currently out there. "Sure, expensive things are great but there are also a lot of pretty great things that don't have to cost a fortune," says Sandi as she scours the Pasadena Flea Market on a Sunday. This attitude has become the motto for the company as it is translated into all aspects of 26 Bars & a Band. With a business degree from USC, and a decade of the corporate world under his belt, Mike was more than ready to do something that would offer him the fulfillment he needed. He applied out of the box marketing methods and combined that with his love for animals to really grow the company.

Please check out their incredible Avante Gard Retractable Leashes that come in the most amazing designs...there's one I'm sure you'll love!

Welcome to Barkley Paws Blog

Welcome friends!

I love animals...but had to start somewhere so dogs it is. The dogs in my life are my inspiration for embarking on this new avenue, my online pet boutique, Barkley Paws. I know you'll find something you'll like for yourself or as a gift for a friend, maybe a collar, a pet stroller, some yummy treats -- if not let me know and I'll do my best to find it for you.

As well, as the proud owner of a 7-year old Lhasapoo named Annabelle, I'm sure she will be doing her part in sharing this blog with me too. Hopefully I'll be able to rouse her from her naps to join in once in a while.

I hope you'll come along with me on this journey.

Sincerely,
Connie Janzen
Owner, Barkley Paws Pet Boutique
