Below are some of my ‘pet’ links that I frequently recommend:
• ASSOCIATION OF PET DOG TRAINERS (APDT)
An international association of professional pet dog trainers dedicated to furthering
education in positive training techniques.
• DOGGIE MATCH MAKER
A site offering education and information on adopting a shelter dog, and spotlighting dogs
specifically from the West L.A. Shelter.
• THE DOG FOOD PROJECT
In lieu of feeding a naturally raw diet, this is an informational site on what is going on with
commercial dog food and how to read labels and understand ingredients.
• DOG STAR DAILY
A site where you can get advice on training and behavior from the best in the dog training
profession.
• DR. DRESSLER’S DOG CANCER BLOG
A very helpful and informational site where you can educate yourself on treating a dog with
cancer, and how to deal with the emotional aspects.
• DR.JONES’ VETERINARY SECRETS REVEALED
A veterinarian dedicated to educating the public about veterinary care; the good, the bad
and the ugly, and alternative natural treatments
• NATIONAL DISASTER SEARCH DOG FOUNDATION
An organization founded by a remarkable woman who saw a need and did something about it.
This group rescues dogs and trains them to rescue people (and I am proud to be a
volunteer for this fabulous organization rb).
• PETS 90210 (THE PETCARE FOUNDATION)
Besides being a source for adoption events in the Los Angeles area, Pets 90210 sponsors 4
major adoption events each year. You can also find locations of shelters and rescues here.
Dedicated to promoting the adoption of a shelter or rescue animal, they showcase animals
from local shelters monthly on You Tube and over various local cable channels.
• VETRACEUTICALS
Dog food alone does not provide the essential minerals, vitamins, enzymes, probiotics, anti-
oxidants that your dog (or cat) needs. In fact, most animals are sorely lacking when on a
commercially fed diet. Because of the high heat extrusion used to produce it, most of the
limited vitamins are “cooked out”. These supplements are all encompassing in a once daily
dose. With cancer and other debilitating illnesses on the rise in our animals, supplements
are a must. We must be proactive in our preventative measures to help our animals live a
long and healthy life.
