City Chickens?


In the Spring of 2004, Madison, WI passed a law allowing single-family homes the right to raise poultry in the back yard. Previous to this law, poultry was allowed inside the home, but not outside. Coops were not permitted, nor was raising poultry inside the garage. Today it is legal to have 4 hens (no roosters) in a coop, no closer than 25' from the nearest neighbors living quarters....read more

Look into a RAW DIET for your pet!


We spend a lot of time at Pets in the City teaching people the benefits of a Raw Diet for their dogs and cats. For issues such as: skin problems, diabetes, hyper and hypo thyroid, cancer, etc...

And here's what raw-feeding pet owners around the world see in their raw-fed pets:
  • Shinier, healthier skin and coats
  • Cleaner teeth and fresh breath
  • Better weight control
  • Improved digestion
  • Reduction of allergy symptoms
  • Harder, smaller, less smelly stools
  • More energy and stamina
  • Decrease in abnormal hyperactivity
  • Increased mobility in older animals
  • Reduced or eliminated need for veterinary dental work
Switching an animal with an existing health problem to a raw diet can often produce an improvement in their conditions. Among healthy animals, a raw diet is likely to help them avoid some of the illnesses that are now becoming common in our companion animals. Regardless of the starting point for your pet, a high quality raw diet will help promote a long and healthy life.

Gateway Pet Guardians pulled another death row doggy today!


This is Eli. My friend Jamie Case picked him up from Animal Control today. He had just a few days left.... The poor guy has been there since October! He was pulled off the streets as a stray in North County. He was only 10 weeks old when they found him. He is a big boy, but such a sweetheart. He loves other dogs and LOVES attention from any human.

Check out this article! It's great!
