Zuke's is fuelling the love!

Did you get a chance to listen to mom interviewing Chris from Zuke's?

This is Chris from Zuke's with his best friends


You should take a listen.

They have great dog treats that are healthy! And super cool news...my doggie daycare sells them.

Yup!  Dogspaw in Edmonton. Totally can't wait until my next trip there!  I'll be sniffing those out for sure.

 Zuke's started because of a dog! that's right, another dog named Zuke became the inspiration for a business (just like how I inspire mom to write books).  Not only did Zuke inspire the business and healthy treats, he also inspired a fund that helps dogs and cats with cancer.  Zuke's is saving lives.


Big bark out to Zuke's for all you do to make our world a better place

A dog with a blog....that's me!

Zuke's makes tasty and healthy treats for pets, can't wait for mom to buy some for me.

Love how Zuke's is helping dogs and cats... Chris is also the founder of The Dog and Cat Cancer Fund, a non-profit dedicated to helping families afford cancer treatment for their pets. www.dccfund.org

Need help paying bills? Toby the dog has a solution.

I love helping my pet parents.

Mom taught me how to open the mail!

www.TheOriginalTeamToby.com
 Actually she taught me to open the mail. I added my own style of ripping it up once opened.

Not sure what to do with it now.

Us pets have pretty simple solutions to everyday problems.

why buy a shredder when your dog can help you out?

Note from Toby's mom..... "now I just have to make sure he learns the difference between junk mail, bills and mail we want to keep."  :)

The Daily Rounds of Molly the Hound

What does your dog get up to when you are not looking?

What are the habits and routines your dog follows?

Toby has some interesting ones.  Before he lies down on his mat he circles five or six times to ensure he lands exactly in the right place.  And, when he catches his kong...he runs back to the place the kong first landed (almost as if he is checking to make sure he got it all).

Ed Payne shared a wonderful story about his dog Molly who is the star of his book,The Daily Rounds of a Hound.
www.dailyroundsofahound.com  



Ed said the inspiration to write the book came from Molly, their adopted dog who shortly after bringing her home from the shelter, gave birth to nine pups.  He and his wife went from one dog to ten dogs in a few short weeks.  A loving FURever home was found for each pup, and Molly became the heartbeat at Ed's feet, giving him much to wonder about as she would sneak off on a secret mission.

Will my pet insurance cover my pet if THIS happens?

This is a question that Laura Bennett and her team at Embrace Pet Insurance respond to every day.

Laura stated that understanding your policy, what it cover (AND what it doesn't) is important in ensuring the best for your pet.  Many families who adopted a pet with an unknown health history worry they won't be able to access health insurance for their pet. Laura suggested that families carefully check out the plans available to them. Embrace insurance does cover these situations, and use the recent health examine to help determine the pet's health history. 

Laura Bennett is the CEO and Co-Founder of Embrace Pet Insurance Laura developed the actuarial models behind the leading edge customizable pet insurance product, allowing the pet parent to choose her own product features to suit her own budget.

Pet insurance has saved lives. There are many cases of pets that have faced severe health issues and in many cases without the insurance, the family would not have been able to afford the necessary treatment.
Pet insurance can provide pets with the care they need, and peace of mind for the pet family.

Laura developed the actuarial models behind the leading edge customizable pet insurance product, allowing the pet parent to choose her own product features to suit her own budget.

Pet insurance can help cover the cost of vet bills and vet visits. Laura explained that it is important that pet families research different plans and find the plan best suited to their situation and the pet. Laura cautioned that  many plans do not cover hereditary or breed specific health issues, however, Embrace's plans are different, they cover this. As well, Embrace pet insurance has placed high priority on the overall wellness of their clients pet family members and provide a wellness benefit to cover some of the routine health and wellness costs, and, they give clients a reduction  in the deductible if the insurance hasn't been used. The www.petinsurancereview.com website features many reviews of happy clients who have accessed this plan.

Laura provided some great tips for families researching pet insurance:
- explore if the policy covers chronic conditions
- check if the plan and policy covers breed specific health issues
- ask how the benefit is paid (the benefit schedule)
