Summer-time shouldn't be Bummer-time!

From sun, to surf to pest to travel safety the pet industry has grown in summertime solutions , many of which can even do double duty for paw parent and pet!
 
Dogs just like us are subject to sunburn, some breeds and colors more so than others . However, dogs are more vulnerable than people in that they have smaller bodies, so even small amounts of toxins can wreak great havoc on their health. In addition, dogs tend to lick whatever is put on their bodies, making it much easier for them to ingest  toxins. Sprays can easily be inhaled and I do not recommend them.

Aroma Paws Vegan fur Conditioner is a cream that contains an effective sun screen indicated to be non-toxic as well as lots of wonderful chemical free natural skin protectors like shea butter.Human grade ingredients even allow me a dab or two if inclined.

Dogs also lose a lot of fluid when in the hot weather( think of panting as our sweating ) and therefore need more water to stay hydrated. Outward Hound has several practical and fashionable water toting ideas some of which can be utilized by both you and your four footed pal.

 Even if your dog is a swimmer please while boating keep your dog safe with a life jacket. Accidents can happen and you both have a much better chance of a safe rescue if wearing a life jacket!

    You have probably had to swerve out of the way of another driver not paying attention or someone driving recklessly and cutting you off. You may be able to avoid such an accident, but what about your pet? What could happen if you had to make a sudden stop on the freeway and your dog was not harnessed in? A smaller pet could have been thrown onto the floor. A larger pet could have had his nose or head hit on the dash, breaking its nose or causing serious injury to the spine. Protect your pet by keeping them in a cat or dog carrier or by having them wear a dog car seat belt.
    Have your Pets Use Safety Restraints



    There are many pet auto safety products on the market that protect dogs and cats when they travel . Dog car seat belts are comfortable and allow your dog to lay down or sit and still sniff through an open window.
    . Seat belts and other safety restraints are a good idea for every passenger. Your dog will still love the ride in the car and you will have peace of mind knowing that your pet will have protection should the unexpected occur. Kurgo Tru-Fit Harness can be used both in the car with your seat belt or outside walking.

    Pest protection...why pack two bottles ? Chemical free natural solutions work for both you and your four footed friend!

    and of course...don't forget the treats! Our brands are made with human grade ingredients , I leave that up to you...
