Given Beau's recent surgery we had to use low cut litter boxes. We needed to make sure our litter box checked all the following boxes: Can this be a litter box we use in the future, especially for travel? Can we purchase a litter box that is under $20, but is still big enough to catch Beau's drippage? Can we make sure this litter box is compact enough to store … [Read more...] about REVIEW: SturdiBox Foldable Water Tight Box (Litter Box, Food & Water Bowl)

A Bit of Bad Luck: We found a lesion
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, It has been a pretty rough month for us at Pets Overload, given Beau's health and recent operations. Well, that's not all... About a week ago we were petting Beau and felt a few bumps on his back. At first, we weren't too concerned because when we parted his hair it looked like he had a few scars that could have been from scratching too hard … [Read more...] about A Bit of Bad Luck: We found a lesion
Getting Our Kitty’s Staples Out
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, Yesterday we took our little one to the vet to celebrate his 2-weeks post op! Yay Beau!

What interests me about feeding Freeze-Dried Primal Pet Food
The other day I listened to an education session about Primal Pet Foods and let me tell you, what was brought up in the discussion was crazy interesting! I knew a bit about Primal from seeing it in the local pet store and have fed Beau a couple samples in the past, but I will be honest in saying: I never did very much research into raw or freeze-dried raw foods. Given the … [Read more...] about What interests me about feeding Freeze-Dried Primal Pet Food
Thankful Thursday: Walker is Feeling Much Better
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, I know I didn't let you know that Walker wasn't doing so well this weekend but in the chaos of losing another family member, I didn't have time to write or even prewrite a posting about it. Walker was having a bit of trouble with peeing around Thursday, and so we immediately look to helping him get more hydrated and actually even switched … [Read more...] about Thankful Thursday: Walker is Feeling Much Better
Bothering My Kitten (Walker) Before Bedtime
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, About 3 years ago I adopted an adorable kitten named Walker. He used to love sleeping in boxes, and would only sleep in my room, but as he got older he became a lot more attached to my mother than me, which is one of the main reasons he now lives with her. Walker has always been a verbal kitty, so whenever he would come sit in my room I … [Read more...] about Bothering My Kitten (Walker) Before Bedtime
Thankful Thursday: Finally finding a wet food Beau eats consistently!
Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, We did it!! We finally found a wet food Beau is eating every day. We've been feeding Beau Performatrin Ultra's Beef Stew for the past two weeks and the little guy hasn't complained at all! I will admit, he doesn't eat all of his wet food at once, and only eats about 3oz a day (as we still feed him dry kibble to make sure he's occupied so he … [Read more...] about Thankful Thursday: Finally finding a wet food Beau eats consistently!
