SacPaws had a great time at the Sacramento Arthritis Walk & Dog Walk last Saturday.  Check out the photos here:


SacPaws.com is proud to announce our new photo section!

Now, not only can you see more pet photos at once, but you can upload your photos into different albums. Make an album for each of your pets! Or make an album of your pets together! Make an album of your dog park adventures! Or your travels! The possibilities are endless!

What else? We've added star ratings and comments to our photo system so our registered users can rate other users' photos, other users' albums and leave comments for them. See something you like? Let other users know!

So, how do you get started? Well, if you've already uploaded photos on SacPaws.com, you have a gallery awaiting you in the Photo section. You can find it by putting your username in the search box. To upload more photos, click on the Upload Album link and either "Make a new album" (keep this checkbox checked) or add to your existing album (which is your username - you can access that by unchecking the "Make a new album" box).

Once your photos are uploaded, go back to view your album and click on each photo - this will enlarge the photo and give you the chance to add a title, caption and tags to describe your photo.

Still need help? Refer to our FAQ Section for information on how to post a profile photo, how to post a photo to a blog and more!

Let's see your photos, SacPaws-ers! Get posting!

Happy Earth Day!

Thanks to all who shared their Earth Day tips with us and participated in our first ever Earth Day contest. Congrats to Raymond and chowsncats, who each received a basket of earth-friendly pet products.

Here is a roundup of the tips we received from our dedicated userbase.

  • doghairlovah suggested using biodegradable trash bags and dog waste bags, as well as pine-based cat litter. She also never brings bottled water to the dog parks.

  • msando reduces paper waste by printing only what is needed, printing double-sided, printing multiple pages per sheet, reducing the document margins and sharing and storing information electronically.  

  • chowsncats gives yard clippings to the goats, stale bread to the geese and ducks and waters flower pots with old dog water. When they groom their dogs, they also leave some hair outside so the birds can line their nests with it. Very cozy!

  • kitster uses old coffee grounds to compost.

  • guitar54 offered tips for an earth-friendly dog run. He uses a mulching mower which fertlizes the grass and purchases ladybugs and praying mantis egg sacs every year.

  • klenzkat recycles everything from plastic kitty litter pails to cardboard food containers and reuses the rope from the old scratching posts to make new scratching posts.

  • Raymond reuses dog food bags as carriers for his dog.

  • luvmypit  dries clothes on a clothesline, composts all kitchen scraps in a compost bin, recycles all recyclables and when washing vegetables, she uses the water that runs off to water her plants. She also buys local foods in season, organic when possible.
Great tips, all around! Nice job, SacPaws-ers!

SacPaws had a paw-some time whining and dining last weekend at the 2nd Annual WOOF Whine & Dine fundraiser to benefit Cosumnes CSD off-leash dog parks in Elk Grove.  A good time was had by all!

Congratulations to SacPaws.com user Macamoo. She is the winner of the $1,000 pet shopping spree at Western Feed.

"I'm so excited," said Macamoo, who owns one miniature dachshund and one miniature pinscher. "When I got the e-mail, I said, 'I can't believe it!'"

How is she planning to spend her winnings? "Dog food absolutely!" she said, noting her miniature dachshund likes the Royal Canin brand. She'll also pick up some bird feed for the birds in her backyard. Other than that, she's not sure yet. She's never been to Western Feed so will see once she gets there.

Thank you to all of you who registered on SacPaws.com and entered the Living Large pet shopping spree contest!
