Companion Animal Gear

Snoods

My snoods were designed out of the passion for keeping my Ridgeback's ears to her head and also allowing air flow. I was dealing with trying to clear the gunk build-up she had when she first came to me, and also stop excessive blood flow to the ends of her ear flaps in order to keep both the open wounds from bleeding and spraying my walls, floors, me (the sores were due to my cats form of playing with his dog).

They have velcro closure and are made to the size of your dogs circumference around its head. I make the bonnet area more stretchy and use a light weight knit cotton blend fabric for additional air flow to the insides of the ears. Prices depend on size of head and fabric choice. 100% organic cotton knit fabric also available.
Email me for instructions on measuring your pups head, and prices.

Neck Guard

Neckguards were designed to protect irritated skin from scratching nails. They are triple layer knit and top stitched to stay ridged. These are extremely helpful to me to keep my dogs from scratching at their inflamed skin from allergy issues. Contact me for custom ordering the right size for your pet's neck.

Tacky Paws Booties / Pet Slippers

Tacky Paws are to assist older dog's with difficulty slipping on floor surfaces, such as tile and wood floors, when standing from a sitting or sleeping position or just walking across the floor. Also can be use when walking outside in order to eliminate contact with toxins or pollens in dogs with allergies.

Pet Beds & Blankets

I started making my own pet beds after purchasing a professional made "organic" dog bed over the net. After the first few washings the seams on the cover came undone, so I felt I could do better.

The seams on my pet beds are sewn three times, two straight one finish stitch. Each bed is designed for a specific spot so sizes are endless. The fabrics I used on my beds vary from heavy weight denims, some organic, to heavy weight organic flannel and are pre-washed several times. I can work with faux fur but keep in mind that most pets don't like static charge. Dust mite covers also available.

The stuffings ranges from organic cotton or wool to expanded styrene beads. I also find that if you top the bed with your pets own blanket, it makes it easier to keep the bed clean. I wash my dogs beds once a month and the blankets one or more times a week, as needed. My dogs like to have something to mess up on their beds, to make their spot more comfortable.

Prices for beds depend on size, design, materials needed, and sewing time. Organic fabrics will be higher in cost than standard fabrics, same with the fillers. Shipping and handling charges are additional. Below are some samples of the variety of pet beds I have designed. Bean bag style beds only include the cover and the filler holder insert, you supply the filling.

I will also design new machine washable and dryable covers for your old beds, going by your dimensions.

Costumes

Who can resist dressing their pet up in funny costumes ? Not me, of course I have to have plenty of treats on hand and it helps if your pooch loves to wear clothes. My late Dentist told me to make costumes for pets. He predicted that the world is going to the dogs and cats. I agreed and I dedicate my line of designer costumes to Dr. T, who was the best Dentist in the world. Now let's get creative. Email Me! barbara@oasisoriginals.net

Cat Ramp

My design for the cat ramp, shown below, came out of my cat, Romeo, being diagnosed with "plantar fasciitis ." To me that means one to many times jumping off the TV set. The vet sent him home with an NSAID for pain control, Rimadyl. The same one my husky/shepherd, Oasis was on for her ruptured Achilles tendons (birdbath accident).

When I read the Client Information Sheet enclosed in the box, it stated that Rimadyl is not recommended for use in Felines. When I questioned my vet he informed me that it was only a matter of time, they are waiting on approval for use in cats and it was fine to administer dose, he also said that the Client Information Sheet should have been taken out of the box and not passed on to me. Wrong, Rimadyl is still not approved for use in cats.

Long story short, please be aware of the dangerous side effects that go with using such medication and always ask for your Client Information Sheet. This is available from the manufacturer for the patient, animal or human. Please ask. I am glad I had received one. After reading the information listed on the CIS for Rimadyl, I returned what was prescribed for my cat and also I stopped giving it to Oasis. Wish I had known the adverse reactions to such drugs before Oasis was prescribed it for her injury, I would have tried a different approach such as homeopathy for pain control. Be aware of what you are administering to both you and your pets, do the research. You can read about their stories by Clicking Here. 

I followed my own advice and instead I made a cat ramp out of 5/8" plywood, and covered it with a denim sleeve with sewn in foot holds to get up and down from his favorite sitting places. I also made sure it was secured to the wall with proper hardware. I eliminated as many places he had to jump down from and he was never bothered by pain again.

You are responsible for the plywood and I can make a custom, machine washable sleeve to provide better traction in getting your feline to its favorite resting place, on top of the world where he or she belongs. Prices depend on size of ramp.

Critter Gear

Critter gear includes, sugar gliders, rats, hamsters and such.

It has been a long time since I owned a hamster or mouse and back then the cages were either wood or stainless steel. Today there is a wide range of cages and cage accessories to go along with the even longer list of available critters out there.

I use a warm, cuddly fleece fabric that is machine washable and dryable. I pay very close attention to what hardware is used and will work with your requests along with using small stitches when exposed to protect tiny toes.

In my collection I have included (photos below):

A. a zippered bonding pouch with heavy duty mesh window
B. a trio of warm fleece fringed blankets
C. a jungle gym made from short pile fur that attaches to the cage with plastic hooks,
     with a crawl through tunnel, a hanging basket and some tie on pompoms for hoarding
D. a hanging layered hammock
E. hamster bed / critter bed
