April Woof: Pet Food Recall Information, Traveling with Pets and Ways to Get Zealies!April 26, 2007 | back to newsletter archive |
 What's barking? Lots going on at Dogster HQ. The whole pack has been busy sprucing up the site, welcoming new hounds (we just surpassed 400,000 members between Dogster and Caster), creating pawesome contests and promotions, and keeping tabs on the pet-food recall. Chew on these current highlights: Dogster Launches RSS Feed for Pet Food Recall To keep you updated on the latest developments in the ever-changing Menu Foods saga, Dogster has launched two RSS feeds designed to keep you and your pup in the know. The Pet Food Recall Alerts RSS feed focuses on breaking news on the pet food recalls and The Pet Food Recall News RSS feed will provide information and commentary on the pet food recall that is less time-sensitive in nature. Users can subscribe to one or both RSS feeds from Dogster's Pet Food Recall Resource Page. Here, they will also be able to view Dogster's DogBlog written by intrepid blogger Joy Ward, and find links to other organizations, including government-related agencies, that have pertinent information or are taking action related to the pet food recall.

Doggone Good Dog Tip #103 Q: With prime driving season upon us, how can you ensure your pup will be comfortable on those long car rides? A: Our animals are just like our babies, and when it comes to traveling in cars, you need to plan ahead. Here are few tips: Make sure to pack Lassie's favorite doggie pillow, blanket and/or toys. (That familiar scent of home can do wonders.) Always take treats and water, and depending on your dog, you may also want to consider using a pet seatbelt. Better safe than sorry, right? For more advice on safety issues and other topics, head to Dogster Forums. Dogster Community: Love Heals All Wounds When Mr. Socks, a member of Dogster Group "Snoop Dog Beagleys," was recently diagnosed with a serious injury (a ruptured disk and paralyzed hind quarters), all the Snoops rallied around and sent him a ginormous doggie gift basket overflowing with treats and toys. When greeted with the package, Mr. Socks was so thrilled, he wagged his tail!!! His concerned parents couldn't beaglieve it, and they immediately sent a heartfelt letter of thanks to the group. (There wasn't a dry eye in the thread.) Since then, the beagle continues to improve. We're sending our canine karma your way, Mr. Socks. We love to hear how Dogster has changed/improved/bettered your life. Keep barking those tales to dogster@dogster.com. If we use your letter in an upcoming newsletter, we'll credit your account 10 Zealies! Romp with you later! May all animals be happy and safe, Dogster HQ Dogster, for the love of dog! http://www.dogster.com :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: You are receiving this monthly newsletter based upon your set preferences.
