AREA PET FEATURES
Pet protocols
More than 62 percent of American households now own pets, up from 56 percent a decade ago, according to the American Pet Products Association annual survey. For many of us, our pets are just like another family member. We want to make sure that they are safe and well cared for. Consider the following ideas to make sure your home is a pet-friendly environment.

Pawtopia
Your pet can be your confidante, your closest companion in good times and bad. If a pat on the head just doesn’t seem to cut it, there are plenty of ways to pamper your pet with style.
One kid at a time
Long before the Jan. 12 earthquake devastated Haiti, Mapleton veterinarian Ken Schumann, a member of the World Community Service Committee of the Hartland-Lake Country Rotary Club, was helping the impoverished nation. In 1994 at the request of Rotary, Schumann, who owns a dairy goat herd, made his first trip to Haiti to research the way goats were bred and raised. As a result, the Goat Husbandry Project was born.

Big love
Raised from pups or rescued from shelters, man’s best friends have stolen the hearts of these Milwaukee celebs, regardless of whether or not they will admit to it.
Pet foodie
Stacy LaPoint isn’t barking up the wrong tree in her business by producing a quality, raw, grain-free, natural pet food. Her dream was to make the product available to pet owners interested in using diet and nutrition to improve and maintain their animal’s health.

Dog days
Love your pup like a member of the family? Go above and beyond for your top dog at local shops that cater to pampered pets.

Dogs get pampered  like people

TOWN OF OTTAWA - Yoga, aromatherapy and avocado-green tea facials. Nestled deep within the heart of the Kettle Moraine State Forest, one might realize it’s time to splurge for a lavish weekend getaway.

Barking up some sales
Kim Malkasian of Brookfield has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. It drove her from her original path as a medical assistant to a fine arts degree and then on to owning her own businesses. 

Determined owner conditions 7 cats to use the toilet

MEQUON - The next time you complain about your teenager hogging the bathroom, consider sharing it with seven cats.

From hyper to happy
Dogs can provide incomparable companionship and unconditional love, but if your pooch has some behavior problems, it can be a source of embarrassment or exasperation for you. 

Everything equestrian
The passion and soul of a horse is what may drive the ever growing equestrian community of Waukesha County. A horse changes the life of its owner, enriches their soul and fuels their character.

Pet Power
We’ve all seen that show on Bravo. The one where a team of stylists and coaches ambush a slovenly shmuck, buffing and waxing him to runway perfection.

Dog days of summer
Octogenarian Rudolph Tonz, a volunteer at the West Bend Senior Center, said of the 90-plus temperatures Tuesday, "I think it’s wonderful." While Tonz managed to stay cool, his 1-year-old puppy had a different story to tell with her body language.

Doggy rescue

Milwaukee’s Wisconsin Humane Society wildlife-rescue volunteer Chuck Meyer, a registered nurse, chokes up when asked to retell the story of how he rescued two dogs in New Orleans, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Evacuated dogs find homes in Wisconsin

WAUKESHA - Skippy got out of New Orleans with little more than the fur coat on his back. The 10-month-old Labrador/sheep dog/Rottweiler mix arrived at Waukesha’s Humane Animal Welfare Society on Sept. 22.

Washington County Humane Society 
welcomes pair of hurricane refugees 

You can't define it, but Henry and Rosco just look like Louisiana dogs. They both have that friendly, affable, down home panache that just says: "Hey, y'all."
