Shammie's world was created summer of 2006 and was
just a big idea until september 2007. It suddenly
became a reality and took shape faster then we
originally thought. I am a avid pet owner and I wanted
to create a website that everyone could use as a great
all in one outlet for all animals.
We wanted it to be user friendly and mostly free for
alot of our users. The number one goal for this
website was the well being of all loving animals
across the globe. The second reason was to make a fun
and exciting portal that everyone would enjoy using.
Shammie is a full breed yellow lab retriever and was a
gift to myself in december 2005 . As a puppy I raised
her through puppy classes, digging up my carpet and
all the fun stuff that comes with owning a pet. During
that time I truely realized the meaning of a true
companion and loyal friend that shammie had become .
If you are debating in owning a pet just be ready to
have alot of patience and time . Knowing for me that
the end result was well worth it. I would not change
it for anything else in the world. Shammie has a wide
range of hobbies especially playing ball! Which is her
favorite past time to do. She is a very energetic
doggy with a giddy type of attitude which keeps me on
my toes daily. If you havent noticed already shammie
loves the camera which made me truely realize her full
potential. You might be wondering where shammie got
her name from ? and thats easy. shammie is a hot rod
car doggy and was named after a popular car rag that
was used to clean my classic car. After multiple times
with her running off with that car towel shammie
received her most unique name. I decided to spell it
alittle differently giving her a little more classy
name. You can say shes a ball catchin, hot roddin,
picture hogging retriever . We want to welcome
everyone to the most exciting place on the internet!
If you have any questions please drop us an email. we
will respond to all of you in a timely manner as soon
as we can. Sincerely (president) Jason & (CEO) Shammie

Supplementing Your Pet's Diet
Saying "no" when your pet looks at you with pleading eyes and coaxes for food from the table can be difficult. However, succumbing to your pet's wiles has the potential to create several problems.
Consistently adding human food to a nutritionally balanced commercial pet food may upset the nutrient balance of the diet. You may also be creating behavior problems. Your pet will come to expect food from the table when it coaxes. If a handout is not forthcoming, the pet may steal food from the table or the food preparation area.
To avoid this problem, try feeding your pet at regularly scheduled times, such as when the family is having breakfast or dinner. Feed only enough to maintain your pet in good body condition. Ignore its coaxing for additional food, or give hugs instead.
Supplementing with human food adds calories to a pet's diet and may lead to an obese pet. When you do give your pet treats, use those formulated for dogs or cats. Remember that the treats contain calories. Reduce the amount of your pet's regular diet proportionally to the treats being offered.
Perhaps you are among the pet owners who worry about whether or not your pet is getting all the nutrients it needs from a commercial food. Having a variety of foods in our diets is necessary to get the balanced nutrition we, as humans, require. However, all the needed variety is built into complete and balanced pet foods.
When it comes to providing optimum nutrition for our pets, reputable pet food manufacturers have done the work for us. Research scientists have formulated commercial diets containing all the nutrients normal, healthy dogs or cats need for a particular life stage. However, factors like feeding table scraps, inconsistent exercise, or stressful changes in routine can leave dogs and cats with special nutritional needs.
Some foods fed in excess may cause health problems. For example, repeatedly adding raw eggs to a pet's diet may cause a deficiency of the vitamin biotin. Egg whites contain an enzyme which destroys the vitamin biotin. Symptoms of biotin deficiency include dermatitis, loss of hair and poor growth.
Milk, if it is offered, should be in small amounts and never used as a substitute for water. Some adult dogs and cats are not capable of digesting large amounts of milk. It contains the sugar lactose, which requires the enzyme lactase for breakdown in the intestinal tract. If the intestinal tracts does not contain sufficient lactase, consumption of a high level of milk may cause diarrhea.
Although we may associate meat or meat by-products with a dog or cat's nutritional needs, meat in itself is not a balanced diet. While meat is a good source of certain nutrients, it must be combined with other ingredients to provide complete nutrition. High quality pet foods provide the nutritional balance a pet needs.
When it comes to minerals, some pet owners believe that additional calcium, and possibly other minerals, should be added to the diets of pregnant and nursing females and growing puppies and kittens. It is true that more minerals are needed at these times, but they are normally obtained through increased consumption of a high quality nutritionally balanced diet. Adding them out of proportion to other nutrients can create skeletal deformities and other problems.
Some cat owners feed baby food to induce a cat to eat or as an ongoing treat. Recent studies suggest that certain baby foods contain levels of onion powder which are toxic to cats. If your cat is not eating, it may be a sign of illness and your veterinarian should be consulted. Commercial cat treats are your best bet to reward your cat for being your good friend.
Always keep chocolate out of your pet's reach. It contains theobromine, which is toxic to pets.
A final thought
Sometimes it's difficult to take a firm stand with a pet who is a consummate "con artist" and knows how to get its own way. Remember the problems excessive supplementation may cause. This should help you take a firm stand and feed a nutritionally balanced diet that tastes good to your pet and is good for their health.
