Just brought home a new four-legged bundle of joy?

Trying to help your senior dog stay in top shape?

Thinking about taking the plunge into pet parenthood?

Already have a little Buddy or Princess, and want information to help keep him or her happy and healthy?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above, then you've come to the right place!

At The Happy Dog Spot, we know that raising furry kids is a big responsibility and commitment.

We also know that having your own cuddly, silly, goofy, adorable ball of fur is an experience like no other.

After all, who else is going to greet you at the door when you come home -- tail wagging, just ready to smother you with big, wet kisses? (By the way, if your pooch is always doing funny things to make you laugh, you should enter him or her in our Funniest Fur-Kid Photo Contest. Your canine comedian will get their very own Web page just for entering, and your friends and family can comment on the photo. Each month, a new winner will be announced who will get their photo on our home page for an entire month and will also receive a special gift picked out just for them from Only Natural Pet.com)!

For all he or she gives to you, your fur-child deserves the very best in return. That's why we give you tons of solidly researched information, advice and tips you can trust on important topics, such as:

• Adoption
• Canine Nutrition
• Vaccinations
• Toxins
• Travel
• Names
• Illnesses
• First Aid
• Homeopathy

....and much more!

This site is inspired by and dedicated with love to my own precious four-legged baby, Chase, who was adopted from our local no-kill animal shelter on January 6, 2002.

Chase has taught me the true meaning of "puppy love", and has made sure that life never has any dull moments (like the time I came home to find him covered with feathers after getting into a tussle with our down comforter. The down comforter lost)!

I know that you've had -- and will have -- many unforgettable moments raising your own furry kid.

You'll probably have plenty of questions along the way, too.

As a nationally published writer on dog care topics, a Reiki Master Teacher, animal activist, shelter volunteer and devoted "dog mom", I've got plenty of information to share. Dogs are my life, and researching and writing about keeping them healthy and happy is my passion. I hope that you benefit from this information as much as I do every day.

Warm wishes,

P.S. - Don't forget to sign up for our free newsletter. Simply type your e-mail address and first name in the form below, and you'll be on your way to getting lots of useful information to help care for your precious pooch -- delivered each month right to your inbox!

Congratulations to Josh, Winner of our April Funniest Fur-Kid Photo Contest!

Josh's mom, Benadetta, says that Josh loves to sit in the desk chair and look at the computer screen, and that when he saw the picture of him and his best buddy/daddy on the screen, he turned to his mommy and gave her a huge look of pride. How cute and funny!

Thanks, Benadetta, for sharing this adorable picture of Josh with all of us! And congratulations, Josh! You will soon be receiving your special gift selected just for you from Only Natural Pet.com!

After a couple of month hiatus because I was writing a book on canine thyroid disorder (which I'm proud to say was turned into the publisher on June 15!), our Dog Photo Contest is back!
