CULTURE FOR CANINES

Do you ever feel a little guilty leaving Fido in his crate when you leave the house for a day of fun on the weekend?  Sure, The Dog Whisperer says our furry friends are cozy in their little metal dens, but come on… there are plenty of other places they’d rather sniff, right?

How about the OSU Urban Arts Space?  You heard us.  Give your dog a little culture during Pup-a-Palooza on Saturday, October 16 from 1 – 4 p.m.  OSU Urban Arts Space is opening its doors to canines and their masters.  It’s a great way to check out what’s been going on in the historic Lazarus Building at 50 W. Town Street, Suite 130.  We might just party like it’s 1999.

Your pet will have a tail-wagging good time while you both check out caricatures, photography booth portraits, local vendors and treats.  Wanna teach your old dog a new trick or maybe Fido has a feisty streak?  Training experts from Sit Means Sit will be on hand with tips and demos to help you take the upper hand with your drooling buddy.

What?  You don’t have a dog?  Well, you’re even in luck there because October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and the Franklin County Dog Shelter will be there too with all kinds of information about the pets available for adoption.

So, grab the leash or your desire to meet a new furry friend and head to the OSU Urban Arts Space for a barkin’ good time, but drop them a line first to RSVP so they know how many dog biscuits to have on hand.

The pets of Columbus, Ohio are lucky to have Heidi’s Homemade organic pet treats right here at Pearl Market each week!

The staff of Heidi’s is here to sell wonderful organic treats to pets each week! They are knowledgeable and friendly and can help you start your pet on a healthful diet.

Heidi’s Bakery started with an amazing love story

(From their website):

The idea for Heidi’s Homemade organic treats for dogs came to us in 1997, when our beloved dog, Heidi, began to exhibit signs of a serious illness. A visit to the veterinarian confirmed our worst fears – Heidi had cancer. We were devastated, but at the same time, unwilling to subject our 10-year-old dog to a treatment program which included chemotherapy.

We researched the benefits of raw organic ingredients and combined them to create Heidi’s food and treats. She steadily improved and lived another two years, though she had been expected to live only six months. We began to follow this same regimen with our other dog, Yoshi, a four-year-old rottweiler-shepherd mix. After following a steady organic diet, his skin problems have disappeared, Giardia – an intestinal parasite – is gone, and Yoshi has a much calmer spirit.  

Heidi’s products contain organic locally obtained ingredients whenever possible. They contain no sugar, salt, artificial preservatives, artificial colors, propylene glycol, and artificial palatability enhancers. The ingredients in our treats have been chosen not only for their terrific taste, but also for their health benefits

Bring your pet down to the market this week to check out Heidi’s booth!
