Pamper Your Pet

Posted by: Joanne Gallagher • April 29, 2009

As warm weather approaches we all want to get that healthy glow.  Time to shed those winter pounds … your dog is ready to strut around the neighborhood and dog park looking good.   Make your pet feel special with a springtime spruce up!
A pretty coat starts off with a bath in all natural Tea Tree Oil & Aloe Vera Dog Shampoo.   Tea Tree Oil has long been recognized as an effective and beneficial ointment for hot spots, skin irritations, insect bites and itching.  For a real treat, lavish your pet with a SPA treatment.  This mild yet concentrated, lightly foaming facial cleanser soothes and balances. It has natural exfoliating activity and is slightly hydrating.   The refreshing blend of vanilla and blueberry effectively removes dirt and tear stains, and will not sting eyes.  Great for all skin types and all ages of pets!   If your pet has visible tear stains, try Angels’ Eyes®.  It is the first product specifically developed for BOTH DOGS & CATS to eliminate unsightly tearstains from the inside out!   Angels’ Eyes® also helps to eliminate staining around the mouth and their coats due to licking.  Angels’ Eyes® starts working before the tear stains begin and never adds food dyes or wheat which can have negative effects on your pet.   All ingredients are products of the USA.   Just sprinkle Angels’ Eyes daily on regular food.
Follow the shampoo with and a good brushing.  Depending on the breed of dog and their coat, there are so many types of dog brushes.   Millers Forge make great mat breakers and dog shedding brushes.  The Shedding Slicker Brush provides double action – long & short pins work at two levels rather than one as in standard Slicker Brushes. Better results with no extra effort – particularly useful on breeds with shedding problems. The Slicker brush is designed to remove all dead hair. For all coat types: long-haired; wire & course-hair; short & smooth-hair breeds.
Don’t forget about your dog’s ears.  You want to make sure they can hear you loud and clear.  One of the easiest ways to remove discharge and ear wax from pet’s ears is Clear Quest Professional Pet Ear Wipes.  Premoistened pet ear cleaner wipes are formulated with antibacterial and antifungal agents to minimize ear odor and prevent infections. Use 2-3 times per week for best results
That perfect smile and dog breath requires brushing your dog’s teeth.  According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, more than 80% of dogs suffer from periodontal disease by the age of two. Help your dog ward off bad breath, gum disease, multiple infections, and heart disease by consistently brushing your dog’s teeth.  The unique design of the KissAble toothbrush makes it easy to clean all three sides of the tooth with one stroke. The soft bristles massage the gums while the firmer bristles clean teeth. The vanilla flavored toothpaste is All Natural and is great for dogs and their people!
Trimming your pet’s nails every 10 days ensures a professionally groomed look everyday!  Millers Forge Dog Nail clippers are Veterinarians and Groomers choice!  My favorite part of grooming my female dog is polishing her nails.  It is important to use nail polish for dogs because it provides long lasting color that is water-resistant and chip-resistant and dries quickly.  Top Performance Color Paw Nail Polish for Dogs has a 3 Color Set that has great pastel colors for Spring.
About now your pet is feeling quite pampered!  Eyes, Ears, Mouth , a pretty coat and perfect nails … your dog is ready to take on all the other dog’s in the neighborhood & dog park!
