We are happy to announce that we have received word that the episode of the Dog Whisperer featuring our whippets, Rudy & Monte, will be aired on Friday, May 30th at 8pm PST. As you may know, we auditioned for the show last year since Rudy, our 8 year-old whippet, was not pleased with dogs shopping in our Santa Barbara pet boutique . As a result, he would be somewhat aggressive and territorial. Because of his behavior, we kept him in the back room all day, and this was breaking my heart.
To see how Cesar helped Rudy (and me, too), tune into the Dog Whisperer on National Geographic on Friday, May 30th 8 pm.
Happy Birthday SunnyBoy! We are happy to report that Sunny, our kitty, turned 16 on Friday, May 16th. Sunny was born and raised in Santa Barbara CA and is the big brother to Sierra and Sunny and two canine siblings, Rudy & Monte. Sunny has been very healthy thanks to the wonderful care that he receives from Dr. George, his Vet, of All Cats Clinic in Ventura, CA. Stop by OffLeash–where pets meet style–to wish Sunny a Happy Birthday. We’ll be sure to pass the message on to him.
On Sunday, March 30th, Don, Rudy, Monte and I attended a Reunion Party celebrating the 100th Episode of the Dog Whisperer. The reunion was held at the Pickwick Gardens in Burbank with many of the people who have appeared on the show or who will be appearing in the 2008 season.
There were 104 balanced dogs in attendance. We were amazed at how ‘balanced’ the dogs were. There was virtually no barking and the dogs were well behaved for the entire 4 hours! Rudy & Monte were so mellow and often times just chilled out on the grass. If someone had told me a year ago that I would have been hanging out with 104 dogs at a party and my dogs would have been lying on the grass relaxing, I would have thought they were crazy. Check out the Photo Gallery to see some of the pictures of Rudy, Monte & Daddy at the party.
We didn’t have a chance to thank Cesar again as the crowd was large and he was being filmed a lot of the time. It was nice to see the production crew again who had spent the day with us back in November for the filming.
We suspect our show will be aired some time this April or May.
We have been feeding Rudy & Monte PRIMAL Raw, Organic dog food for the past month. We are happy to report that Monte’s room-clearing gas has been completely eliminated! We transitioned them from their Evo Kibble and canned Merrick Cowboy Cookout to organic, raw chicken.
Their poops are small, firm and almost devoid of odor - believe it or not! We have been feeding approximately 16 raw nuggets per day - 8 in the morning and 8 at night and they go crazy for it.
For those of you you’ve had it with doggy gas, you may want to consider this diet. We sell Primal - of course - at our store in Santa Barbara, however, we would be happy to help you find a store in your area who also sells this wonderful frozen food.
We are excited to be hosting our first Greyhound MEET & GREET with the folks from Homestretch Greyhound Rescue & Adoption. Swing by the store on Saturday, March 1st between 11 am - 3 pm to meet these gentle giants and the wonderful volunteers from the Homestretch Greyhound Rescue. Race Cars, Not Greyhounds!
Hepper Pod & Podium Modern Pet Beds
OffLeash is proud to offer the sensational line of Hepper pet products. Hepper pet products company was born from that universal thought: “there’s got to be a better way”. In their case, they had a house full of cats with the accompanying house full of really ugly cat toys and furniture. A search for truly innovative, functional, cool beds was fruitless and thus spawned the creation of the Pod, Podium, Nest, Wave, Pad and Roost. The entire Hepper™ line is designed by award-winning industrial designer Jed Crystal in his studios in Burlington, Vermont.
