Out here in Palm Desert we are fortunate to have some truly wonderful small businesses…read more
Many of us in Sun City Palm Desert (9,000 or so residents) can be seen in our golf carts with poodles, Havanese, chiweenies, boxers, maltese, king charles spaniels, westies, greyhounds, and mixes of all of the above.
We have three senior rescues who love their treats. One has a kidney condition, so she has a special diet.
On Wednesday, I stopped in to Pet Oasis for the first time. We needed a little bell for our little blue heeler/GSP mix who is now deaf, so that I can hear when she is around my feet and I can keep from falling over on her.
Jeannine helped me find the perfect bell plus the most amazing and reasonably priced soft treats for these old doggies.
The store is gorgeous, and to a pet owner, a lot like Christmas morning.
Toys, feeding pads, beds, climbers, jackets, and all kinds of colorful accessories will catch your eye. It is just a beautiful place!
There is a wall full of various refrigerated meals, including one special kidney support product that appealed to us for our darling patient.
There are many, many soft treats, vegan treats, and broths of several kinds.
I found one amazing turkey bone broth which is kombucha inspired.
This is the kind of store where I "run in to buy a couple of things" and then carry a shopping bag full of goodies. Maybe I need a secret checkbook and title the purchases "essentials".
I was headed out to my husband's physical therapy session and it was a bazillion degrees outside so I left my items with Jeannine and her coworker where they'd remain cool until Incould return after.
The three dogs were thrilled to get the lamb treats and the fish when we got home.
Little Annie, now wearing her cat bell, gobbled up her prescription food from the vet's office which also had the broth on top.
I found the prices reasonable and the assortment of flavors, whether raw or air-dried, to be extensive.
My own human food cabinet is way less appealing than is their special treats drawer.
Knowing Pet Oasis is here right down the street is fantastic. The people are welcoming and knowledgeable.
Love for pets is in the air here.
I guess I can manage to eat my broccoli frittatas and black beans every day so we can bring an appealing culinary experience to these rascals and sneak in to Pet Oasis for new surprises.
"Are they spoiled" you ask. Yes they're spoiled. Little alarm clocks watching for meals and snacks in their bellies are never wrong, am I right?
You can find us on the third tee greenbelt at Mountainview Golf Course, sitting on a bench on the hillock, mostly every morning, sharing treats from Pet Oasis, listening to podcasts, and smelling all the smells.
