🌳Evaluate Your Dog’s Carbon Footprint🐾

Sure most people are conscious of the ways they can reduce their carbon footprint and may even actively take roles to help with this. Have you ever stopped to think about the carbon footprint your dog is leaving?

Do a Project with Your Pup Today

Is your neighborhood loaded with dog p**p or other garbage? Know a place that is? Then you and your dog can take an active role in doing something positive for Earth Day and spend some time cleaning it up. If you want to take it a step further you can even separate out the garbage from items that can be recycled.

Another great project you can take up with your dog is planting trees or other (dog safe) plants in your yard. This is an excellent way to cut down on carbon as the plants use the carbon in the process of photosynthesis. While your dog may not be able to help you plant the tree in the ground, if your dog is a digger then you may just have one less task to do with this project.

Another huge issue with this is p**p bags. Many of these are just plain plastic which as we know will not decompose in landfills. There are however versions out there that will. Or if these are not available to you, at least consider buying ones that are made of recycled materials. Along with this you want to look at aspects such as your pet’s toys to see if they are made of recycled material

These are just some of the many ways you can get involved in Earth day this year. Enjoy the beautiful Spring weather in your area today and enough this place we call EARTH 🌎

If you have any other suggestions on how to spend this holiday with your pet feel free to let us know on social media.

Have the perfect Easter with your pet! Here's how to keep them happy and safe as you celebrate today!🐣🐥🐇🍭

Pets and Easter are basically made for each other. A holiday overrun with baby chicks and bunnies, spring colors, hunting eggs, and playing outside? Yes, please!
But amidst all the pastel-colored fun going on, be sure to have your pet’s safety and happiness in mind. Follow these few tips for a festive Easter!

KEEP HUMAN TREATS FOR HUMANS
Chocolate, bunny-shaped or not, is very dangerous for pets. Don’t leave Easter treats and baskets on the floor where your pets can find them. Dogs especially have a nose for sniffing out chocolate, and eating too much will mean an emergency vet trip and in some cases, the dog may die.

Other candies aren’t pet-safe either: sugar and xylitol, a common artificial sweetener, aren’t good for pets. Keep your candy dishes and baskets put away or covered when you’re not in the room with your pet.

Easter eggs stuffed with candy can be tempting for dogs, and the plastic eggs themselves can get caught in your dog’s mouth or throat. Keep your pets in a separate room while your egg hunt is going on, and keep a count of the eggs, so you can be sure to collect them all!

PET-SAFE TREATS 🏐🧸
So what can you give your pet on Easter? Their very own Easter basket! Skip the confetti and grass—your pet won’t know the difference—and present your pet with a new cat or dog treat or a new toy. Playing with you in the fresh green grass will round out their holiday experience.

Spring has Sprung: Dealing with Your Dogs & the Mud

Spring is a wonderful time of year. Flowers 🌷begin blooming and the trees are leafing out. Spring is the promise of new life, new beginnings, and new smells for your pet.
Spring can also be super messy and muddy; especially if you have a dog (or two or three). and some of your pups may be diggers and show some of this excitement of Spring and Sunshine🌞. Your house doesn’t have to be as dirty inside as your yard may be outside.

Changes Outside🏠
Take a look at the areas your dog frequents; is there any ground cover? There might be grass there later in the year, but what about now? What can you use to cover the mud - at least a little?

Straw can be messy in and of itself, but it can also cover the mud, is inexpensive, and is biodegradable. A bale or two of straw, spread thickly, can keep the mess down somewhat, and later the grass will grow up through it. As you mow, the straw will be chopped up and become compost.

Another more expensive, but permanent, solution is to build a patio between the yard and the back door. Ten feet or so of flagstones or concrete can make a huge difference and gives you a place to clean those paws.

Top the flagstone or concrete with outdoor matting made specifically for messy situations. These carpet type mats (as compared to small welcome mats) have stiff bristles or rubber teeth that are made to get the mud off of shoes or boots and do just as good a job on paws. If you use one of these, make sure your dog isn’t going to chew on it as you don’t want him swallowing pieces of it.

Lets just be honest this is a rough time of year and we all need to make the best of it and be patient with our pups. Penny is so used to having her feel cleaned every time she comes in, she even lifts her paws on at a time. We clean them even on the dry days. It’s a great habit to have your dog in so they learn to just sit and wait for you to give them permission to come into the house.

This messy season too shall pass only 67 Day until SUMMER!⛱😎

🐶My Dog Loves the Tub and Treats Now What?🛁

Now that your dog is more at ease with the process, here are some tips for the actual bath. Brush her beforehand to keep loose hair from clogging your drain or her fur matting, and use warm🚰 water during the bath.

Use a good natural dog🧴🧽 shampoo like ours, not a human shampoo. There are chemicals in most human shampoos that will dry out your dog’s skin. Use less shampoo than you think you need, especially with our brand it is designed thicker and to last longer to save you money, and rinse more than you think you need to assure the shampoo is off your dog before drying. Few dogs need conditioner and our shampoo does not need conditioner since the natural oils in it are meant to condition as you shampoo.

Some groomers and vet techs have stated that you usually don’t need to “shampoo” your dog’s head, but that if you do you should use a tearless💧 shampoo like our brand. Medicated shampoos can cause eye damage, and sting their eyes so use caution when using them on your pet.

Any shampoo can undo all the work you did to teach your dog that bath time is a fun experience. If your dog has a history of eye or ear problems, talk to your vet about how to protect them during baths. I have to wash Penny’s ears since she is long haired and loves to roll in everything. I just make sure not to rinse straight into her ears washing off the shampoo.

Cotton balls in floppy or hairy ears can help keep water out if your dog is sensitive to rinses, which is important because water remaining in the ears can cause infections in some breeds. Just make sure not to put the cotton too far into the ear canal.

If you need to bathe a dog who doesn’t hate it enough to run away but hasn’t had the full pro-bath conversion experience either, have a slew of small 🥮treats on hand. Deliver one every few seconds while you work. A helper🦸‍♂️ is nice for this; if you don’t have one, treat delivery will slow you down some, but that beats a wrestling match. Plus, it rewards your dog for complying with an activity he’s not wild about.

All the more reason to make your dog comfortable with the bath tub🛁. Poor puppies...

Here’s What to Do AFTER the ice balls have formed.

1. Soak those paws🐾 in a bowl of WARM, not hot, water. Don’t make the water too hot as you don’t want to shock the paws after their romp around the winter wonderland. This method will melt the snow pretty quickly.

2. With the snow on the rest of your dog’s body, you can use a warm towel or a hair dryer on a low setting to melt off the ice. Or continue with the warm water shower.

3. After removing the snow, those paws will be nice and dry. They need a high quality balm or coconut oil to bring some moisture and life back into the pads. If you’re not too familiar with how to use it, we posted a short article on everything you need to know about coconut oil & Vaseline for dogs paws just last week. 🐾

🐾Get Your Dog Used to the Water a Little at a Time🛁

Brush your dog before bath time to keep loose hair from clogging your drain and you pup from matting if they are long haired.

And now for the water. Even dogs who love to wade and swim often don’t care for water when it’s coming from a faucet. No, I don’t know why, and I don’t think anybody else does, either. To get your dog maximally comfortable with being bathed🛁, keep up the bathtub toy and treat games, now with a trickle of water running. The water should be comfortably warm. A handheld shower attachment makes bath time much more efficient, so hook one up and water the sides of the tub--no spraying the dog just yet.

When your dog is completely unfazed by the running water, wet her down a bit with the handheld. Don’t set the water pressure on “stun,” by the way--a gentle spray will do nicely. Follow up with a treat, the cue to get out of the tub, and a brisk rub with that large, soft towel you have stashed conveniently nearby. Some have used peanut butter and have their dog lick😋 if off the tub side while bathing them. This doesn’t work for Penny she doesn’t like pure peanut butter🥜, but it may work for your pup.

Do a few reps over a couple of weeks, gradually getting your dog comfortable with standing in the tub while you wet her down. Use your hands to squeegee out as much water as you can. I even use a shammy on Penny and then towel-dry her thoroughly and keep her warm. Then she has to do the “Zoomies” you know that crazy running around the house and rubbing on the furniture…LOL🤣
