Amelia is a happy cat when she can view the living room from high upon her floor to ceiling cat tree.
Typist: Bethany
Having happy pets isn't just about regular veterinary visits andfinding the right dog and cat food. Even giving away dog treats and cat treats takes knowledge like what's healthy, when to treat and how much to give. Simple dog play and cat play takes considering pet safety to be sure our playful pets have fun unharmed. We all want happy dogs and happy cats but it's not always easy to make sure happy is also healthy. One particularly difficult health necessity in our house is grooming. It has taken years of consistent effort on my part to get all of the pets to not view regular viewing as a punishment. Just like vet visits, regular grooming is important for the pets overall health.
Grooming was a miserable chore for both the pets and I. Until I changed my attitude, added the dogs and cats favorite treats and a lighthearted playtime as soon as the grooming is done.

Amelia, Wilhelm, Brychwyn and Huxley do love playtime! The view from the top of our floor to ceiling cat tree makes Amelia very happy and the climb to get there is great exercise. Amelia's favorite game is to chase and bat her cat balls.
Wilhelm, Brychwyn and Huxley love to chase each other, Jason and I also make sure they each get time to play with us. Play is important bonding time with our pets and a special pet-human bond makes not only for happier, healthier pets but humans too. All three dogs are amused by a tug with Jason or I and playing fetch inside or out makes us all happy.
After grooming, special treats and playtime, the dogs and cat also appreciate comfortable places of their own to rest. All three dogs have a different type of bed that suits their comfort needs. Amelia has several special places to sleep where she can have seclusion and privacy but she will also occasionally share the dogs beds. The Cascadian Nomads humans are pleased when happy, healthy pets at comfortably at rest. Then we begin our entire healthy pets routine again. I keep learning about the best grooming tools, treats, toys and beds for my dogs and cat and they keep on being healthy and happy.

Hill's wants the humans of your house to be amused with your happy, healthy pets as well. So they are giving away bundles of those little extras that is takes to make our dog and cat friends happy each and every day. Two lucky winners will receive a dog bundle or cat bundle, winner's choice. Prize and contest details and entry are below.

My dog is really my best bud, always there to play with me when I'm bored, will cuddle me after a stressful day at work. Every weekend, I take her to the lake for swimming and she really loves it!
