SaskPets is Saskatchewan's Pet Community! Online Pet Directory, Local Products and more!

SaskPets was created to build a community to connect pet owners with local businesses, products, services, rescues, activities and events that are all about our special family members, our pets! We love to see people supporting other local businesses as much as possible which is why SaskPets has listings of only-local businesses within Saskatoon and a 30km radius. We want to help make it easy for

pet owners to search and find what they are looking for locally as much as possible. Whether you are looking for a handmade dog collar, a new groomer or vet or want to find out which stores and patios are pet friendly. This directory doesn't just focus on dogs and cats but also birds, reptiles, small animals and fish, because they are also beloved members of the family.

Local Business Feature: Institute of Canine Psychotherapy

We all know of the challenges faced by rescue organizations and shelters, but did you know that behavioral issues are one of the leading causes of surrender and relinquishment? Additionally, dog lovers wanting to help are often hesitant to adopt or foster due to behavioral concerns, especially dogs in the adolescent stage, and pet parents often feel out of options in addressing challenging behaviors.

Billie Groom has been involved in rescue, rehabilitation, and welfare for almost four decades. Her extensive knowledge comes from working hands-on with hundreds of dogs per year and their caregivers. Billie attributes her success as a behaviorist to her method - a non-harmful, science based method that is easy to apply! Canine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (yes, it follows the same principles as CBT for humans) recognizes emotions driving behaviors, allows for autonomy and agency, and encourages processing and decision making, making it the most effective method in addressing behaviors associated with anxiety, aggression, and with dogs over 6 months of age.

After completing courses in canine brain development and PhD courses in Animal Cognition and Emotion, she opened the Institute of Canine Psychotherapy (ICP), offering a Diploma in Canine Psychotherapy, along with courses provided by scientists, vets and industry experts. ICP is a leader in canine behavior and welfare, dedicated to providing industry professionals, such as trainers, behaviorists, pet care givers, rescuers, and educators with the most advanced skills to elevate their career and reach their goals to make a difference in the lives of dogs. Pet parent programs are also available!

Some new things are coming to SaskPets to provide more, in hopes of being able to better support our wonderful community, and SaskPets as a whole.

Along with our current offerings of our online directory, event calendar, business and rescue features, sponsorship options and advertising we will be branching into our own line of pet products.

If you have been following SaskPets for a while you may have seen a post sharing my journey of moving out of the city to our current property with dreams of building our own farm, creating products for pets and people from our farm and setting up a space for fostering rescue animals. Well...we have decided to make our line of pet products under the SaskPets name, not to compete with the other amazing local businesses in our community, but to complement what they already offer.

We plan on bringing out multiple pet food/treat options as well as other health and wellness products, toys, accessories and more. Products that are mainly made from things grown and raised on my personal farm, other small local farms/businesses and collaborations with other small businesses. Creating handmade products that are unique and different from those already on the market, sourced locally, and selling them in our online store. We have hopes of also offering other locally made products for sale again, from other SK small businesses and creating a community store where buying quality, local products is easy, convenient and affordable.

We want to provide some quality, nutritious, delicious and different local products for pet owners and wholesale options for local pet stores. It will also provide another revenue stream to help continue the building of the SK pet community, SaskPets website and our reach, as well as our future plans of building a safe space for working with multiple local rescue organizations and foster animals. This is something near and dear to my heart and along with helping the animals we hope to document our journey to help provide education about fostering animals and our local animal rescues/shelters.

If you have any thoughts on types of products you would like to see for your pet, let us know!

I came across www.PetRescuetoolkit.ca the other day thanks to Animal Protection Services of Saskatchewan's post, printed off the reference guide, and am looking forward to reading through the full document.

This could be a great resource for those already involved in rescue or those looking to get more involved or started. It includes information on Management and Record Keeping, Biosecurity, Facility Design, Sanitation, Health, Handling and much more!

I am hoping to learn some information that will be helpful in setting up a small space where I can start taking in multiple foster animals to help some of our local rescues with the overflow issues they are all experiencing. Working towards my dream of creating a safe space for those harder to place foster animals while they get to the point of being able to be placed up for adoption.

Check out the blog post written by Christopher Froess of Kairo's K9s Training in Saskatoon about Service Dog Etiquette in Non-Pet-Friendly Stores in Saskatchewan. You may have seen this earlier last week as it was first shared on their social media but I wanted to make sure it would be available for more to read as it is great information to know!

It provides useful information to read if you are an employee in a store that is not Pet-Friendly and for those that shop these stores and may not know this information. It is important that we be respectful of those that have a disability and require a Service Animal but we also want to make sure that those that bring Service Animals into places where Pets are not allowed are doing so because they need them, not because they want to take their pet with them wherever they go.

Happy Halloween! If your pet is dressed up today share a picture below.

Let's talk about Bully Sticks, Bull Pizzles, Pizzle Sticks... What are they? They are a natural chew for your dog made from...Beef/Steer Pen*s. That's right, you read that correctly! Some of you may have known that already but many people do not. Now why would you want to give your dog one of these? Well they are a natural, highly digestible chew, decently tough and few dogs will turn them down. Plus, chewing is a natural dog behavior that produces "feel good" chemicals in your dog's brain, such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. Chewing can also promote a strong jaw and help keep their teeth clean. When looking for a Bully Stick for your dog my recommendation is to purchase from smaller, local pet stores as they are more likely to carry quality products. Look for ones that are 'less stinky' (I smell them in-store myself😉), otherwise your house will smell pretty unpleasant when your dog is chewing on it. Or, if you get a stinky one, make it an outside chew! Always supervise your dog while they are chewing on it, and wash your hands after handling them. They are a higher calorie chew (but low in fat!) which means they are best fed occasionally. Is this something you give your dog?

I popped by the Saskatoon Farmers' Market this morning and stopped by Jenny's Bow & Meow to check out their treats and other items. They are based in Regina but are at the Saskatoon Farmer's Market on Koyl Ave Saturdays from 8am - 2pm and Sundays from 10am - 3pm. They have a variety of treats, chews, accessories and more for dogs and cats!

Did you know Sheep (and Donkeys) like swiss chard!

Do you think your Dog would enjoy a Burger cookie?! Last time I was in Saskatoon and stopped at Barley + Blossom - Pet Boutique I picked up a few different fun and unique treats for my pets to try out. One of them was the Meaty Bubbles I shared a few weeks ago, another was an Iced Cookie shaped and decorated like a burger. The cookie was made locally in Saskatoon by a small business, Happy Puppy Co. They make and create healthy, natural, fun and unique iced cookies in lots of different designs for different seasons and holidays. They also make custom doggy cakes for birthdays and other occasions. Has your dog had the pleasure of enjoying one of Happy Puppy Co's treat creations?

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to say hi, grab a pup cup and play our toy toss game this weekend at the Saskatchewan Pet Expo!

Come out to the Pet Expo at the Nutana Curling Club in Saskatoon today and tomorrow (June 8th & 9th) from 10am - 4pm

A sneak peek from the @saskcorgiracers races at Crossmount Cider Company today!

Some snippets from the Hub City Kennel & Obedience Club Dog Show in Warman this past weekend.
