Shopping at the 2008 Specialty ~ Part 11
Sunday ~ May 11, 2008 ~ Mothers' Day

Oma's Pride
Camlyn Miller-Stevens and Carolyn Miller-Stevens
308 Sach Road
Avon, CT 06001
Phone: (860) 673-3258
Toll Free Phone: (800) 678-OMAS

E-Mail: Miller.food@snet.net
Website: www.omaspride.com

Oma's Pride is a complete line of pre-prepared raw food products made expressly for those feeding raw diets to their dogs. They fresh-freeze ground meat/bone products and use fresh quick blanched then flash frozen vegetables, which breaks down the hard to digest initial cellulose layer, kills bacteria, salmonella and allows your dog to absorb the maximum of nutrients. They carry Oma's Pride Mixes (chicken, turkey, beef and lamb) and a variety of meats (chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, buffalo, venison, ostrich, rabbit, duck, kangaroo and salmon.) Their easy-to-use mixes contain ground meat/bone, ground organ meats and ground vegetables. There are no additives or preservatives in their products, and you maintain complete control over the supplements and extras your dog receives. Their products are distributed in most states. You really should go to their website to see the variety of products they have and their pricing. Here is the website: www.omaspride.com

I brought home a bag full of samples for Nicky to try and he is enjoying his special treats! I just wish that I could have brought home some of their raw bones for Nicky, but since I had a long drive, I couldn't bring them home to him.

Oma's Pride donated a big bag of their products for our 2009 Berner-Garde Fundraiser.

You really need to see the item that this vendor had at the Specialty. It makes so much sense to use these when you walk your Berner at dusk and at night ~ reflective leash and collar sleves for safety at dusk and at night - $13. They also have reflective stretch bands for owners, bikers and joggers for $16. The sleeve can also be put on backpacks, fanny packs, canes and used also as baseball cap reflectors. This is truly one of those items that when you see it you think, why didn't someone think of that years ago!!! Here is the website so you can check it out: www.re-glo.com

Reflect and Glow donated 10 sets of reflect leash and collar sleevers for our 2009 Berner-Garde and other fundraisers.

Intarsia is a mosaic of different woods intricately carved and fit together. The Intarsia wood full body Berners are gorgeous ($175) and the head studies are just beautiful ($150.)

The night lights are $24.95, Suncatchers ($18.95) Cutting boards ($29.95,) lamps ($49.95.) The dog dolls are adorable ($85.) Ornaments are $19.95, key chains, luggage tags or zipper pulls are $6.95 each. The Berner Rose Pins are $39.95. As the name implies, they carry Norwegian Kelp supplements for your Berners. Norwegian kelp contains over 12 vitamins, 60 major and trace chelated minerals and 20 key amino acids. Their website states that their "Vetarian Blend and Vegetarian Blend & Garlic helps to improve the general health, appears to influence the immune system reducing stress and increasing stamina, helps improve condition of skin, improves condition of coat or feathers and reduce shedding, helps allergy symptoms, reduces pain from arthritis, helps restore natural pigmentation, influences the proper functioning of the thyroid, helps fertility, regulates weight and appetite by enhancing your pet's food utilization."

When I saw the name of this vendor, I immediately thought of "All Things Bright and Beautiful" but then I looked more closely and that wasn't what it was. It is "All Things Bright & Biothane." Biothane? What is that, you ask? I had to go to my dictionary to see what it really meant ? it is a durable strap good created by coating a nylon strap of many widths with urethane. It won't absorb perspiration and is easy to clean by just hosing it off. It keeps its flexibility even in subzero temperatures. So, now you know what biothane is ? you will have to check out the bright colors of the biothane collars, leashes and harnesses.

You have to check out the website: www.AllThingsBiothane.com to see the very colorful collars, leashes and custom made adjustable tracking, sledding and carting harnesses. They have the look and feel of leather, but are washable, mildew resistant and you will love the bright colors ? bright red, purple, orange, pink, royal blue, forests green, as well as black and brown. They carry collar bells, harness swinger bells and Berner Harness Brasses. In addition to the Biothane items, they also carried beautifully embroidered Berner clothing, jackets, vests and totes. They had items made up especially for the Specialty and when they are all sold they will be gone, so you might want to check out their stock and buy them now!

All Things Bright & Biothane is going to send me some items for our 2009 Berner-Garde Fundraiser.
