Finding the right food for your dog or cat can be a difficult challenge, especially when they have allergies or a sensitive tummy. When we first got our lab mix, Cooper, we went through several different brands of food to try to find the right one that he would eat but wouldn’t bother his stomach.  Each time we switched foods,even if it was just a different variety from the same brand, we would have to do it slowly and introduce only a little at a time with his previous food. This made it difficult to find the right food. I was so excited to learn about Avoderm® Revolving Menu because it helps pet parents avoid food sensitivities. With this special formula you can vary your pet’s proteins so they don’t develop allergies.  Plus because it’s specially formulated with a similar base your pet won’t have stomach/digestive upset when you switch between proteins.

Revolving Menu helps pet parents avoid food sensitivities :

  • Help minimize the risk of food sensitivities by varying proteins
  • Switch proteins with stomach/digestive upset (duck today, lamb tomorrow!)
  • Grain Free, Gluten Free
  • A limited ingredient list to help further minimize sensitivities
  • Meat Protein as the first ingredient
  • No white potatoes or fillers

AvoDerm is available in smaller sized kibble for little dogs as well!

I recently started a new, healthier lifestyle for myself and my family. We are eating more fruits and vegetables, more lean protein, and more healthy fats. This includes things like coconut oil, olive oil, and one of my favorite foods, avocados. Avocados are a nutrient rich SuperFood so I was impressed to find that AvoDerm® premium dog and cat food formulas have avocado in them.  The right nutrients in the right proportions are indispensable to keeping your dog’s or cat’s skin healthy and avocados are an amazing superfood for humans and pets alike!

  • Avocados are a nutrient booster that helps pets absorb more of the nutrients they need
  • Avocados are rich in heart healthy fats and omega 3&6 fatty acids
  • Avocados are packed with antioxidants and nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, including vitamins A, C, E & B6 for overall health

Many of the nutrients your dog or cat needs for a healthy skin and coat can be found in rich amounts in the remarkable fruit known as the avocado.

avocadoYou might be worried about avocado for pets like I initially was. I had heard that avocado was toxic for dogs but here’s some information on the safety of avocado for pets.


Dr. Art Craigmill, UC Davis, Professor and Extension Specialist in Environmental Toxicology has said that his studies and other research in the United States and Australia have shown that the problem of toxicity is in the leaves and the pit of the Guatemalan variety; the avocado meat of the fruit and oils have not been shown to be toxic. AvoDerm pet products do not utilize any Guatemalan variety avocados, nor does AvoDerm use any leaves or pits of any variety of avocados for avocado meal and oil. 

Avoderm Natural is made in the USA specifically in California and created using California Avocados and high quality proteins.

Sneak Peek at Disney’s Zootopia

image001Here’s a sneak peek of Disney’s upcoming movie Zootopia.  It looks so cute!  I can’t wait to take my girls!

The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootopia,” a comedy-adventure directed by Byron Howard (“Tangled,” “Bolt”) and Rich Moore (“Wreck-It Ralph,” “The Simpsons”) and co-directed by Jared Bush (“Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero”), opens in theaters on March 4, 2016.

image011I am so excited for Disney’s upcoming version of The Jungle Book which features a seamless combination of live action and photorealistic CGI animals and environments.  This movie has an all-star cast and features the characters we all love- Mowgli, Bagheera, and the loveable Baloo!

jungle book
Directed by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”), based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s classic animated film, “The Jungle Book” is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice of Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire.

The all-star cast also includes Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of the fiercely protective mother wolf Raksha, and Giancarlo Esposito as the voice of wolf pack’s alpha male Akela. “The Jungle Book” seamlessly blends live-action with photorealistic CGI animals and environments, using up-to-the-minute technology and storytelling techniques to immerse audiences in an enchanting and lush world.

The wild adventure swings into theaters in 3D on April 15, 2016.

5 Tips to Make Your Kids Bedroom a Nice Place

This post may contain affiliate links.
Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

Kids roomCreating an inviting kid’s bedroom is a must for your child, who will spend a lot of time in the room as they learn, grow, and spend time with their friends and siblings. But how can you go about making any kid’s bedroom in your home a really nice place to be for everyone in the family? Continue reading for five helpful tips to draft a stellar design your kids will love.

Incorporate Fun Wall Art

To add a fun element to any child’s bedroom, you can incorporate wall art rather than just plainly painting the walls one colour. Choose wall art that really brings out your kid’s personality. And stick with something that your kid loves, whether that’s sports or Disney characters. Wallpaper murals for kids bedrooms, which are available from companies like Walltastic, are a great place to start.

Add the Right Lighting

As with any other room in your home, the lighting could make a huge difference to how your child feels. Avoid fluorescent lighting, which can be harsh, and make sure that you have some overhead lights so that the room can be really bright whenever necessary, such as for homework or playtime. Add a few lamps so your child can have a bit of light at night to settle down before bed, and if you want to save money, stick with LED bulbs, which will last a long time while producing a lot of light.

Incorporate Feng Shui Principles

The ancient art of Feng Shui can help you configure a kid’s bedroom so that it isn’t only fun to be in but will also be a great place to sleep soundly through the night. This is important for kids of all ages, who need to be able to settle down and rest their minds and bodies.

When it comes to picking a spot for the bed to be in, put the headboard against the wall and make sure your child can lie down and see the door so that they can feel in control of the room. And when it comes to colours, stick with those that are not too bright and not too dark. You don’t want to overstimulate or depress your child’s moods, so stick with pastels in pinks, greens, and blues.

Make It a Place to Play and Rest

Your child’s bedroom should be a haven where they can play and rest. Have an area dedicated to playing, such as an area for video games and TV, as well as a desk where your child can study for school. And, of course, a comfortable bed should be the focal point of the room.

Make It Cozy and Safe

Ultimately, in order to make your kid’s bedroom a nice place to be, you need to take steps to make it cosy and safe. For example, wall-to-wall carpeting or a plush rug is a great way to give your child warm floors, as well as allow them to sit and lie on the floor to play or watch TV.

With these tips, you’ll create a kids bedroom that everyone’s sure to love.

Affordable And Effective Ways To Make Your Home Healthier

This post may contain affiliate links.
Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

t the minute, there is a fashion to try and make every home as environmentally friendly as possible. It seems that every homeowner you come across is trying to figure out ways of going ‘green’. Although saving the planet is important – no one is disputing that fact – there are even more important factors we tend to forget.

Like what? Like making your home healthier and safer for a start. Your home might seem like the healthiest property on the planet, but there are always factors, some you don’t even know exist. Have a look at some of the ways you can make your home, and the people who are living in it, healthier.

Have An Autumn Clean

Dust and dirt are just messy. It is also a health risk. The buildup of dust, in particular, can get into your body and make you sick. At first, it might just be allergies that cause you to sneeze. But, after a while, it can make you feel ill all the time. The air you breathe is important as it will reflect how you feel. If the air is stale and stuffy, you will feel that way, too. All it takes is a daily ten-minute clean, and your home will be dirt free.

Kick Bad Habits

The habit that a lot of people have is smoking. For starters, it is a terrible habit that you should try and quit. However, trying to quit in a house that smells of smoke isn’t as it is a constant reminder. More importantly, smoke can affect other people. If you smoke at home and don’t live alone, you are putting your housemates’ lives at risk also.

Create An Air Flow

Properties that don’t get enough air are more likely to experience problems with mold. Have you ever experienced mold before? Yes? No? Regardless of the answer, you don’t want to experience it at all if you can help it. Not only is it impossible to get rid of, but it also causes illnesses. Quite simply, mold turns your home into an infected zone. Try clearing up any damp spots too, because mold grows in damp, dark conditions.

Purify The Water

It is amazing how many homes’ water supply is contaminated. Now, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t safe to drink. But, it does mean that it isn’t one hundred percent clean. Parasites and harmful bacteria can infect the water supply in your home and make you ill if you drink enough of the water. Although it might never happen, it is too much of a risk for some people. If you are one of those people, you should install a water purification system or a filter.

Test Your Home

Homes are not always as safe as they seem. Back in the 80s, houses used to be full of asbestos. Now, you know that is dangerous, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t others. Lead paint is a big one because you never check the ingredients before you buy paint. You check the colour and price and then coat your walls.

A simple examination will let you know whether you need to make changes, or whether you home is up to standard.
