Dog days of summer

Woofles and Meowz has been a super busy place this summer and by the lack of blog entries this confirms it but what has transpired in the past short while has been the opening of The Granville Island Soap Gallery here on Granville Island.
We are of course a pet friendly store there as well as the pet boutique so come on by and say "HEY" as they say in the south.
The soap gallery is dedicated to making and providing from other suppliers only products from Canada and mostly BC with a focus on natural and organic products.....including some wonderful items for doggies and kitties.

This past summer has been great seeing all our regular customers and the lovely problem we had was trying to keep up with the biscuit making for those who know us and our products.
Providing organic and handmade treats is labor intensive but one out of love and from what we see a necessary one for those pooches who can only eat our items.
We are both happy and frustrated by that.
Giving the best nutritional advice we can with regard to our observations and experience has been both tiring and rewarding. I still wonder why oh why people still feel they can feed only a dry dog food to their animal with no vegetables or proper balance and then they wonder why their wee pooch is not doing so well.
My simple advice is always "if you ate what you are feeding your dog how would YOUR digestion and overall health be??"
That usually gets a clear mental image and puts things into perspective.
Several of our doggy friends have been good success stories this past while...yay!!
...ok off to do some ordering..........Halloween is upcoming and as you all know I don't love dressing up dogs in unnecessary clothing items but for an interactive doggy/owner day a cute costume can be fun!
I'll keep you abreast of what transpires!!
