In the s-PAW-tlight: Holiday Cheer and Spirit at Paradise.


Each year the staff at Paradise collects donations for a local organization. In previous years, we have donated to the Maltby Food Bank and Homeward Pet Adoption Center. This year we have chosen Ginger’s Pet Rescue, a local non-profit pet organization that specializes in saving “death row” dogs from other facilities. Ginger’s has saved 2,108 dogs to date.

Ginger’s Pet Rescue relies solely on help from volunteers, foster families, private donations and fundraisers. They provide much-needed medical attention, food and housing for these special dogs. Many are rescued just hours or minutes away from being euthanized. This past year, Paradise has offered temporary housing for several of these rescued dogs when their foster families can no longer care for them.

This holiday season we are asking our customers to help in our efforts to support Ginger’s Pet Rescue. We will be collecting donation items and monetary donations throughout the month of December. Ginger’s is mostly in need of towels, bedding, leashes, crates, potty pads, toys, food, and money for medical care. New and gently-used items are acceptable for donation. For a more complete list of the best items to donate, please go to www.gingerspetrescue.org and click on “102 ways to help”. Help spread some holiday cheer by donating to a rescued animal in need.

Need Gift Ideas?:

Looking for that perfect gift for family or friends for the holidays? Look no further than Paradise Pet Lodge wine! We have our very own privately labeled, limited artist series wine available for purchase in our lobby. There are 4 extraordinary varieties to choose from, each one different and delicious!

*2008 Chardonnay: aged and fermented in stainless steel barrels, resulting in a bright, golden color with flavors of pear, apple and apricot. It goes perfectly with holiday hors d'oeuvres and cheese plates.

*2008 Riesling: semi-sweet and very refreshing, you will taste juicy peaches, tropical fruits and melon. Pair it with a spicy pasta dish; the sweet and spice will balance nicely, sure to make your mouth water!

*2008 Sunset on the River: a staff favorite, and after tasting the unique blend of Gewurztraminer and Pino Gris, you are sure to see why! The cherry and raspberry flavors combine with sweet, tropical fruit notes. This is Libby’s favorite bottle to enjoy with fresh shellfish, crab especially is her favorite. It takes her mind back to the lingering days of summer…

*2007 Loony Red: an exquisite blend of estate grown Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah, this wine is barrel aged for 18 months and leaves a smooth finish on your tongue. Black cherry and plum make this wine perfect to enjoy with a hearty steak or pasta dish. A very well-rounded wine that is enjoyable for any occasion!

Gift giving for your pet

Have you ever wondered what would be on your pet’s Christmas list? What’s that one gift that all pets are talking about and begging to have? We found some good ones that will have your pet yowling with excitement!

Who doesn’t like toys for Christmas? We at Paradise like the indestructible ones. Some of our favorites are: The Tuff Tugger, a rectangle made of nylon and rope that allows your dog to engage you in a tug-o-war battle! The TireBiter, a smaller version of a monster truck tire is perfect for off-road and backyard play. The original Kong that can be filled with your dog’s favorite treat, or a lick of peanut butter making it twice as fun! A few of our staff members’ pets have their favorites too. Slugger is a fan of anything squirrel and Rowdy never gets tired of her Chuck-it and Frisbee. Most of these toys can be purchased at your local pet store, or by visiting the following websites: www.purinapetgear.com, www.ohmydogsupplies.com, www.barkz.com, www.kongcompany.com.

Treats follow the same rule as toys: you can never have too many! The holidays are a perfect time to stock up on your pet’s favorite snack or even indulge them with a once-a-year treat. Three Dog Bakery had a shop in Seattle that closed in June of this year. Their handmade treats and goodies that looked good enough for humans to eat may no longer be available in the store, but can still be purchased on-line! Go to www.threedog.com and check out some of their amazing cookie artistry. They even have a bone-of-the-month club, where your pet can receive a different box of natural and healthy dog treats every month!

Is your pooch a wannabe fashionista who is always trying to sport the latest doggie trends? Check out this site, www.thepamperedpup.com where you will find designer doggy duds sure to be in style! They offer doggy shirts designed by tattoo artist Christian Audigier. They also carry designer toys, like a purse made by Chewy Vuiton, or a bottle of Chewnel #5 perfume, sure to set your pooch apart from the pack.

Looking for a collar with a little extra holiday sparkle? Look no further than www.thesharperdog.com. They specialize in fancy collars and leashes made to perfectly fit and compliment your dog. Their Holiday Collection, Swag Style collar, is a favorite full of dazzle and shine to really impress. You can also try websites like www.hotdogcollars.com or www.glamourdog.com to check out the most up-to-date fashion for dogs.

Want to try something healthy and natural for your dog? Take a look at www.onlynaturalpet.com where you will find organic treats, holistic/healing vitamins and supplements, and naturally- made food. They even carry biodegradable poop bags!

Is your kitty crazy for catnip? Try www.thecatconnection.com. They specialize in natural and organic grown catnip that can be purchased in loose leaf form, or put into a specially designed toy. You can also try www.greenkittystore.com for natural and organic cat treats and eco-friendly toys and cat supplies.

If you have a pet that is hard to shop for, a gift card to Paradise Pet Lodge is perfect! Your pet could be pampered to the max in our spa with a relaxing massage or hydrotherapy session, or treated to a holiday spruce-up and paw treatment in the groom salon. The gift of relaxation and pampering is always a good one.





Client Feature: Amazing Rosie

Rosie is a 14 year old yellow lab who loves spending her days playing with friends, swimming at Paradise, lounging on her deck, and begging for table scraps. Rosie has been coming to Paradise for swim sessions for 8 months, and has enjoyed her time with all 3 of our spa gals, Bri, Erin and Lynnie.  

Bri smiles as she says, “She is so invigorated after her swim. It brings me joy to see her before and after, knowing how much she has benefited from hydrotherapy. It’s like she has a little extra spring in her giddy-up!” Lynnie laughs along, telling me, “Rosie is a celebrity! She has her own blog and website, I feel famous by association just getting to be in the pool to swim with her!” Erin’s healing touch is featured in the picture.

Rosie’s owner, Chris, is a photographer, and has done some amazing work. He captures Rosie and her friends living their everyday life. Every Friday, which Chris calls Canine Friday, a link to Rosie’s blog is sent out to all of her friends and family. All of us at Paradise look forward to reading Rosie’s weekly blog. She keeps us up-to-date on her current events and latest adventures. To check out Rosie’s blog, go to www.rosiedog.blogspot.com.

And don’t forget about our Mid-Winter Spa Special. From January 4, 2010 to February 10, 2010, your pet can receive 10% off a spa massage or hydrotherapy session.
