Lawn Manners for Your Dog !

I'll bet your dog loves to play out on the lawn with you - right? And with longer days already here and Summer just around the corner, that means more opportunities to go outside and enjoy the back yard.

"Now" would be a good time to review your dog's lawn manners. What I mean is, give him some direction when he goes outside to relieve himself so that you don't wind up with an unattractive lawn decorated with little burned patches! I'm sure you get the picture? If you need help to get started...

Here is where to go to check out the lawn care page to find how to "naturally" deal with burn spots or to prevent them from happening in the first place. You'll find some innovative products to help your dog out.

Now you'll be able to invite guests over to admire your lawn :-)

Organic Dog Shampoo - Know Your Ingredients!

The benefits of organic dog shampoo became even more apparent to me the other day. I was reading an article about the risky toxic substances that quite often show up in pet products. Even the most well-meaning dog owners may find it baffling to sort out the bad from the good.

Reading labels is a must - not all manufacturers care about your pet's safety. Here are a few shampoo ingredients to avoid that have been tied to serious health risks:

Lauramide DEA, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Lareth Sulphate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, D&C Red No. 33, FD&C Yellow No. 5.

More information about non-toxic dog organic shampoos and conditioners
can be found here.

Give Your Dog A Great Smile!

When I see a dog with a gleaming smile, it tells me the owners have done their homework and know about the importance of dog dental care. Sadly, this is one area that is often overlooked - though not intentionally I'm sure.

Some well-meaning folks think "doggie" bad breath is natural and after a while their nose believes it too! The fact is, bad breath often precedes the start of something big.

I encourage all dog owners to read this information to learn how to prevent serious dental and other health problems by the simple use of dog dental products.
