Pet Photography, Pet Portraits, In-House Grooming, Pet Food, etc.



PET PHOTOGRAPHY
WANT A QUALITY PHOTOGRAPH?

Professionally photographing pets and their families since 1992, I offer a unique photography experience tailored to you and your pet's personality.  Contact me for further information. 

In addition to people and pet portraits, my articles and photos are on the covers and pages of Ferrets since 2002 and a special appearance in Dogs For Kids.

Credit should be mentioned for the talents of my subjects - Jesse and Casey, our beautiful standard poodles, Molly and Charlie, our gorgeous ferrets, and one fantastic photography assistant, Sam.  She would have appeared off to the right or left of nearly every ferret photo.

Casey and Jesse truly loved being photographed. Upon entering the studio, they would accompany me and plant themselves perfectly in front of the camera.  They did this without being coerced with treats, and would just look at me and wait for direction. If I didn't take some photographs of them, or at least fake it, they would just give me one of those looks and let me know that they were very  put out!

Many people are finding relief with the use of an air purifier.  First hand experience has me sold on this particular brand 'Fresh Air'. Ask for details.

5% of profits from any purifier will go to your animal charity of choice.



FLINT RIVER RANCH FOOD

LOOKING FOR PREMIUM DOG AND CAT FOOD?

Flint River Ranch is a high quality kibble and was (still is), recommended by my pets veterinarian. 

You can visit their website by CLICKING HERE . They have a very user-friendly site, where you can read about their company, products, ingredients and purchase online. They offer an auto ship program, so you won't have to remember to order each month and it's shipped via UPS right to your door. Bags are sold in 10#, 20#, 40# and up. Keep in mind, when ordering, that the shelf life of this natural kibble is generally 3 months. They have a wide variety of different types of kibble for you to change up your pets food in order to ward off food allergies.



WATER PURIFIERS
GOT CLEAN WATER FOR YOU AND YOUR PETS?
There are a few that I can suggest if you're looking.   Ask for details.


ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
WHO SAYS IT CAN'T BE EASY BEING GREEN?
Here are three solutions right off the bat.

The cats and I like World's Best Litter.  You can find it virtually anywhere.  It's flush-able and eco-friendly.

Want to be more environmentally friendly in disposing of your dog's waste?  Of course there are always the bio-degradable doggie bags when you're on the road that are sold in most pet stores.  However, have you ever considered installing something in your back yard to cut down on those bags too?  I thought this was a great product.  It's called "PetPoo Loo" that offers a terrific solution.  You can check it out here:

While we're at it, we may as well address the issue of diapers for our children.  Seeing as 50 million diapers (and that number's probably changing as you read this)...(ick!) enter our landfills every day, I think it's good to get the word out about products like these!

 A NOTE ABOUT SEAT BELTS

I always used seat belts for my dogs when they traveled in the car, and I highly recommend them.

Did you know that for insurance purposes, I'm required to have your pet restrained by leash or crate during transport?

Please have something available for me in the event that I would have to transport your pet.

I do have 2 large seat belts available (dogs around 75# or so). You can find them at some of the links provided below or other  common pet stores in your area.

If you get one that fits properly, they don't seem to mind it one bit. The one time I did not fasten Jesse into his seat belt, I had to slam on the brakes and he went flying into the back of the front seat. After that, even on a 5 minute ride, I'd take the few seconds that it took to fasten his belt.


A FEW LINKS TO SOME ONLINE SUPPLIERS OF SEAT BELTS AND OTHER GREAT ACCESSORIES AND PRODUCTS FOR ALL OF YOUR PETS NEEDS!
A word of caution about cat harnesses. Follow the instructions on getting your kitty used to being on a lead...especially if they were an outside cat to begin with!
