Refreshing Bath with Vet’s Best + Giveaway

October 6, 2011

We are having gorgeous fall weather.

Did lots of long walks/hikes for the past days.

We encountered many small bugs/insects on our walks/hikes.

I’m not itching so I know I did not get bit.

Just for precaution I’m getting a bath using

Vet’s Best Anti-Flea Easy Spray Shampoo.

On the bottle, it says it kills fleas by contact.

The main ingredients are Peppermint oil and Clove Extract.

What’s great is it’s a SPRAY which makes it easy to apply to my Golden coat. My mom just sprayed it all over my coat. Oh! and no need to wet it my coat prior to application. See what happened after my mom sprayed and gave me a massage … white foams.

It was recommended for best results to let it stand or

continue to massage for 10 -15 minutes.

YAH! I sure do enjoy the massage part.

The smell is quite strong … I tried to taste it but couldn’t.

My mom avoided not to have contact on my eyes, nose n mouth.

All in all, I had a very refreshing bath.

Lots of Golden Thanks to Irresistible Pets and Vet’s Best.

Barking For "Tasty Tuesday" Treat Giveaway

August 30, 2011

We often get invitations for tasty treats to try.

Since we carry our own tasty treat at Sugar’s Paw House

and due to my allergies, we’ve rejected many of these offers.

Yes, believe it … imagine rejecting “tasty treats”…

Well last month, we were invited to try tasty treats from

Loving Pets called Barksters.

Woof! Woof! we accepted it because

Barksters are wheat-free, just like my treats.

Golden Hooray!

We received two very attractive boxes of Barksters treats from Loving Pets, 1 beef and 1 chicken. The treat packaging is color coded, purple for the beef and orange for the chicken. Also, what we like the most about the packaging is very informative. All you need to know about the product/treat is stated on the box.

Barksters treats uses simple and all natural ingredients. Each of these ingredients’ benefits are listed and explained on the back of the box.

This photo shoot is taking a while …

I can smell its tastiness …

I need a taste now … Woof! Woof!

TASTY! Delish!!!

Barksters treats are air-puffed which makes it low in fat.

Each treat is only 12 calories.

Mmmm, what does it mean? I can have more …

The calorie count is very beneficial for pet owners who are controlling their pet’s weight and intake of daily treats.
For this photo shoot, I had 3 Barksters Chicken = 36 calories.

Barksters treats are delicate, crunchy and have ridges on each treat. Mom says its like human chips, so warning to all dog owners to be careful and not mistake them for regular human chips.

Lastly, what we also like about Barksters treats is
it supports U.S. farmers and 100% produced in the USA.

Calming Balm For Dogs + Giveaway

August 27, 2011

We are always on a look out for natural products.
Last June, we got an invitation to receive a sample product from Lumino Pets. We accepted and selected to receive the Canine Calm Balm, which is an all organic product made from herbs to settle hyperactivity and relieve anxiety for dogs.

I’ve been using the Canine Calm since we received it and has been very helpful. I am not fond of loud Boom Boom noises, particularly the sounds of fireworks and thunder. We live very close to a country club, the club has a firework show every 4th of July and has been having fireworks to end weekend parties. In regards to THUNDER … need I say more. The tremendous rain we’ve been having is usually accompanied with lots of loud Boom Boom thunder.

During times like this … I usually go upstairs specifically to one of the bedroom and hide in a corner. My mom describes me as in my “do not disturb position.” Lighting a scented candle such as Lavender helps me out to recover quickly from my anxiety.

Guess What? one of the ingredients in Canine Calm Balm is Lavender Oil. Another reason why we have to try it.

Lumino Pets provided us a complete ingredients description of Canine Calm Balm Ingredients: Certified organic oils of coconut and castor bean, pure beeswax, and certified organic essential oils of clary sage, valerian, sweet marjoram and lavender.

Clary Sage is calming to the nervous system, particularly in cases of depression, stress, insomnia and deep-seated tension.

Valerian has a long history of being used to calm the nerves, assist with pain relief, stimulate the appetite, lower blood pressure, relax spasms and improve digestion. Valerian has a calming effect on the brain of both man and animals

Sweet Marjoram is considered a comforting herb as it calms emotions, and provides comfort during times of grief, loneliness and sadness. Appreciated as a strong relaxing, anti-spasmodic oil, it is strengthens the parasympathetic nervous system.

Lavender is known for its skin healing properties and its use as a sedative. It soothes the nervous system and calms stress. Ancient Romans and Greeks believed the scent of lavender to be soothing to untamed lions and tigers.”

The Canine Calm Balm comes with an applicator and is easy to use. My mom simply applies a small amount on my muzzle and under my nose. Well, of course I tried to taste/licked it. Mom also rubbed some on my bed blankie and to my favorite toy. it smells good!!!

Canine Calm Balm is definitely helpful and handy with my fear of loud noises such as fireworks and thunder. I avoid hiding/going upstairs.
I am learning to stay in my bed when loud noises occur.
Even though I continue to pant, I’m calmer and accepting of the loud/noisy surroundings.

Visit Lumino Pets website for more information.
