OregonLive wrote a great article making sure our pets are looked after properly when the temperature starts to rise.

A good tip to remember is to not let you pet run around unattended outside during the hottest parts of the day. Also, make sure they have enough water and shady areas to rest.

The best place for your pet is most likely with you, as you’re bound to make things comfortable for yourself with fans or air conditioners. – Jacques Von Lunen, Oregon Live

Dog Tips: Watch out for These Spring Toxins

Posted by admin on May 28, 2010

The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation recently sent out a warning to dog and pet owners about the dangers of toxins from common plants and household gardens. In Portland, a lot of people keep backyard gardens and knowing what plants are safe for your pet will make all the difference.

Due to their natural curiosity, their love of digging, and their tendency to consume anything they come across, dogs are at a high risk for accidental poisoning. This can be particularly true in spring, as front gardens and backyards come to life with new growth, and as dogs and their owners spend more time outdoors.

* Toxic bulbs, plants and flowers include tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, certain lilies, crocus, and lily of the valley. See a detailed chart here. * Harmful fertilizers and ground cover include cocoa mulch, blood meal, bone meal, and any fertilizer containing disulfoton or organophosphates.

Store all poisonous substances in your home, garage, and yard out of reach of your curious canine, and block access to potentially harmful bulbs and flowers. If you suspect your dog has ingested a poison, call your veterinarian at once; or dial the Pet Poison Helpline at 800-213-6680

For more information, see this helpful chart from the American Kennel Club which lists poisonous plants and how to identify them.

With spring here and summer right around the corner, make sure to also outfit your pet with everything they may need. Oregon Pet Supply delivers flea/tick defense as well as pet harnesses. We also have food, fun treats, toys, and extras available for delivery straight to your home. For more information, check out our website 24/7.

Natura Announces Change In Ownership, But Not Philosophy or Commitment to Quality

Posted by lisa on May 21, 2010

Here’s a letter from the owner of Natura Pet Products, explaining the recent news of an acquisition by Procter and Gamble:

You may have heard Natura expects to be acquired by The Procter and Gamble Company sometime in June 2010. By joining the P&G family of brands, our intent is that we will have more resources to raise awareness for the benefits of natural and holistic pet foods. Our hope is even more pets will then experience the benefits of Natura’s high-quality, super-premium brands.

P&G has assured us of their commitment to this business and to the people who have been our partners and our advocates over the years. We will continue to deliver the high quality products that have earned consumers’ trust.

For more than 20 years, Natura has dedicated itself to producing healthy, high-quality pet foods, and we will remain true to that philosophy. As we move forward with this change in ownership you can continue to find Natura pet foods at your local independent pet specialty retailers.

Thank you for your dedicated support and advocacy for Natura Pet foods. We have genuinely appreciated your support in the past and we hope we can count you among our valued customers in the future.

Sincerely,
Don Scott
President
