Blankets and Shelter for Pets

Ensure your pets stay warm during the cold winter months by providing them with extra blankets. For outdoor pets, it is crucial to provide them with a shelter to shield them from the harsh elements such as cold winds and snow.


It is imperative to provide outdoor pets with a shelter during cold weather to ensure their safety and well-being. A well-designed shelter should be insulated, waterproof, and have minimal air space to retain body heat. Consider using materials like straw for bedding and elevated designs to keep them off the cold ground, providing them with the comfort they need during the winter season.

Food and Water

It is crucial to ensure that your pets always have access to fresh, unfrozen water and food to maintain their health and hydration during the winter months.


To prevent your pets' water from freezing, consider using a heated water bowl or placing a heating pad underneath the bowl. Additionally, using rubber containers for better insulation or adding ping pong balls to create ripples that help delay freezing can be effective solutions.


It is important to remember that your pets depend on you to keep them safe and warm during the cold weather. Show them lots of love and care this winter season to ensure their well-being.


Wishing you and your furry companions a Happy New Year!

Peanut butter oatmeal dog treats

Peanut butter oatmeal dog treats Today, I am super excited to share my techniques for making another truly wholesome dog treat with you. After-all, your furry companions deserve healthy food, so that they can be their best selves. These pup treats are the perfect snack to make ahead of time for your cuddly pooch as a reward for their love and companionship, obedience, potty-training, or for any other training in general.  My fur baby seems to think that the treats taste better when they're made in different cute shapes. So, I use three different cookie cutters when I make these dog treats. Plus, using different cookie cutter sizes also allows me to make good use of the leftover dough pieces. The three shapes that I am using for this recipe are a gingerbread man, a star, and a flower-shaped cookie cutter. (I use regular cookie cutters to make mine.) If you don't have any cookie cutters, that's okay too. After rolling out the dough, cut it into squared-shaped pieces, or use a...
