Breaking News: Coyote Snatches Daisy in Front of Jessica!

PetSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:45:15 -0700

There's some sad news out of LA this evening: Jessica Simpson's pooch was taken by a coyote. She just tweeted about the picking of her precious Daisy right in front of her face. I cannot even imagine:

My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!

Unfortunately, coyotes present a constant danger for outdoor pets and it's hard to track exactly what happened after the dog disappeared. If you allow pets outside in areas where these animals (and other dangerous creatures) roam free, please let this be a lesson to you. Fingers crossed for a miracle to bring the maltipoo home.

In the Spotlight: Daisy Can Stand!

Well, hello there fluffball. Seems like you can stand after all . . . although you must not move quickly because I don't think I'd put my crazy pooch that close to the ~~x-ray machine~~ super fun looking tunnel. Jessica Simpson, Ashlee, and Daisy geared to get up and go at LAX yesterday – it seems like they brought a ton of luggage, so hopefully including all the right adventure gear. Despite her ever-shaggy mane, I do love this pooch so see some more photos (with the Sac Chien) when you read more.

Guess Who?

Guess whose maltipoo...

In the Spotlight: Daisy Helps Jessica Be Fancy

Is it just me or is Daisy looking better than ever these days?! Looks like the maltipoo got a trim to share the spotlight at Jessica Simpson's perfume launch in Dallas over the weekend – after all the fragrance is called "Fancy" so could she bring along a pup with a sloppy cut? I think not.I know North would remain atop that table for about one second . . . followed by breaking glass and his dive into the audience for kisses. See what Daisy did while Jess was signing autographs when you read more.

Daisy Needs a Little Spot in her Life

Don't get me wrong, I think this maltipoo is one cute, little furball but I really wish she didn't appear so unkempt. The disheveled look may be hot on Johnny Depp . . . on Daisy, not so much. While Jessica Simpson's hair has nice, styled waves going on, her pooch looks badly in need of a good trim, brushing, and freshening up.

I decided to pretend for a moment that I was in NYC, and that I could somehow stage an intervention. If I had access to this celebrity pet, I'd prescribe Spot Organics . . . stat. To see exactly what on my Rx (along with more cute pictures of the duo), read more.

Organic hemp dog shampoo Maybe little Daisy has sensitive skin so she doesn't take a dip in the sink very often? This natural dog shampoo bar is great for those types as it's organic and free of chemicals and fragrances – use it up to once a week to help moisturize dry skin and remove dander.
Coat Care - Hydrate and Shine Just like healthy hair starts with the scalp, this spray for dog skin can be used during Daisy's regular brushing routine (when she gets one). In no time, she'll have glossy fur that smells and looks fab. Plus, because the product uses essential oils of organic lavender, grapefruit, restoring rosemary, and cleansing cedarwood (in a base of aloe vera), it offers soothing aromatherapy perfect for those cross-country trips with mom!

Bassetoodle, Bernedoodle: Do You Know Your Dog's DNA?

PetSugar — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 03:00:11 -0700

With "designer dogs" becoming more en vogue, many pet owners are taking a greater interest in what breeds make up their mutt's DNA. Nowadays, these hybrid pooches are often bred for a specific result, putting the price of ownership at top dollar, many times meriting even more than the price of traditional purebred dogs. Favored by celebrities such as Jessica Simpson seen here with her maltipoo (Maltese and Toy Poodle mix), Daisy, many people are not only clamoring for these new breeds but also want to know what unique mix they already own.

Enter: WISDOM Panel MX, the most comprehensive DNA-based mixed breed test for dogs that will analyze your hybrid dog's DNA. Running at $65 and up, the price tag is not for everyone. However, the miracle of its development includes the analysis of more than 19 million DNA markers from more than 13,000 dogs, and it can detect more than 130 breeds covering 99 percent of AKC registered breeds. Information from the analysis will help pet owners to better understand their dog's breed history and allow owners and veterinarians to work together to develop appropriate care and nutrition plans for the pet.

On the one hand, I can understand wanting to know (especially if it affects his well-being) but, on the other, who needs to fit a cute pooch into neat little check boxes.
