Hello Readers, happy Spring! Although it's technically been Spring since March 20th, the temperatures are just starting to rise, the snow is melting, life is appearing, and it FEELS like Spring. As we head out of Winter, we are all glad to put its troubles behind us. However, Spring brings its own set of difficulties, especially if you're a pet owner. With that in mind, I searched and found some great products I think will help.
PetSafe Freedom Patio: A lot of cats and dogs have the ability to go outside alone, with a fenced in or safe yard to roam around. It's nice for the pets, but can be a bother for owners constantly letting the pet in and out. Pet doors are an option, but can be much work to install, semi-permanent, and many houses don't have a spot to put one. PetSafe has a solution! Freedom Patio is a pet door panel that installs directly into your patio door track, while still allowing the patio door to be used. No cutting holes or damaging walls! Keeps heat and cold out with its heavy duty construction and UltraSeal flap. It's also aesthetically pleasing with its aluminum frame and tempered glass. Installs in minutes to virtually any patio door. Starting at $184.95
SwiPets: As most cat owners know, their cats shed in Spring...a lot. Cleaning and vacuuming can only do so much to remove it, as there is always hair stuck in hard to reach places. Some materials also attract hair to which it clings like magnets. SwiPets is a new product with a new way to clean up hair! SwiPets is a glove with a special "sticky" coating that works like magic, removing cat hair from all surfaces, materials, and places that other tools can't reach. When it gets dirty and loses its stickiness, simply wash with your regular laundry, line dry, and reuse over and over again! One glove. $9.99 Pair. $14.99
Spotless Paw: Spring temps are here, melting the snow and revealing the earth - a welcome sight and an incentive to get outdoors. However, that means dirty, muddy, and gross paws tracking their filth throughout our houses, in our cars, and on our clothes. Spotless Paw stops the problem at its source - your dog's paw! Although there are many creative tools out there to clean dogs paws, sometimes the simplest ones work the best. Spotless Paw is a dual sided microfiber glove that allows you to easily clean your pet's whole paw, even tricky spots like between the toes. Adsorbs 600% its weight and washer/dryer safe. $19.95
FURminator Waterless deShedding: From using this product myself on our dog, I can say without a doubt, it WORKS! FURminator is known for their high quality deShedding brushes, but a little known product is their deShedding spray. The spray deodorizes, conditions and reduces shedding drastically, without bathing. Formulated completely from natural ingredients, it's designed to moisturize and strengthen the coat to reduce shedding. Using on our dog not only helps with his shedding, but conditions his coat to a soft, beautiful shine. He also smells much better! Not greasy at all, for dogs or cats. Made in the U.S.A. 8.5oz $8.99
OmegaPaw Paw+: As mentioned above, Spring is a wet, muddy mess for most of us. Dog's paws take all of that and much more each day. Many owners at this time of year have problems with their dogs constant licking and chewing of their paws, some even to the point of causing themselves harm. Usually the reason they do this is their paws are irritated from being worn down, wet, etc. Licking is the dog's solution but it just makes things worse. Paw+ is a specially formulated liquid that targets common irritations. Its deep cleansing abilities will provide relief and help moisturize to further protect the health of your dog's paws. 22oz $17.99
Doggles Insect Shield: As the warmer weather comes upon us things come to life. Notably, many insects, including the dreaded ticks, mosquitoes, biting flies, fleas and other nuisances. Dogs sometime suffer the worst, as not only do they lack defenses from such insects but they are prone to diseases carried by these pests. Applying chemicals to your dog is a solution, but not only is it unpleasant, many types do not repel insects. Doggles has come to your pets rescue! Using Insect Shield brand materials they've created dog apparel. Insect Shield works via a process that binds a formula tightly to fabric fibers, lasting through 70+ launderings. EPA registered repellent is safe, odorless and repels mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, fleas, chiggers and other no-see-ums. Available in bandannas ($11.00) or shirts ($20.00 - $30.00)
