Zoey and Sam

Sam is a gorgeous, blue eyed cat and her sister Zoey is an energetic "Schnoodle" (miniature schnauzer/poodle mix) with a LOT of personality. They live in a lovely suburban home with loving parents. Part of my job with these two is to brush both their teeth every night. The dog loves it... the cat (predictably) hates it! Despite her advanced age of 9, Zoey is full of zest, still leaping into the air to catch her favorite treats. During our evening walks, Zoey goes full-steam ahead, charging along and looking back at me - breathless and sweaty - as if to say, "hurry up!" If you'd like an affectionate, energetic companion, look no further than the Schnoodle. 

These two are used to a lot of belly rubs, as you can see!

 

Zoey and Sam are in a bit of competition when it comes to food, and they both eat too fast  - which can be damaging to their health.  Their parents found a wonderful solution in the "Portion Pacer," a silver ball that sits in the dog's food dish and prevents her from eating too fast.  If you have a pet who eats faster than they should, try the Portion Pacer!
