4 Waterless Dog Baths To Keep Your Pup Clean

October 29, 2018

Many dogs dislike getting a bath and can be exhausting for dog parents. To eliminate odor, it is so important to keep your dog’s fur free of dust and dander. There are many waterless dog baths that can help to keep and maintain your dog’s cleanliness.

Waterless Dog Baths Rufus and Coco Dry Dog Shampoo

4 Waterless Dog Baths To Keep Your Pup Clean

1. Regular Brushing
It is important to maintain a brushing routine with your dog. Brushing your dog’s coat helps remove dirt, debris, dead hair and especially unpleasant odors from their coat and skin. Brushing also helps to stimulate the skin and distribute natural oils, making your dog’s coat shiny and healthy.

2. Pet Wipes
Pet Wipes are a must-have of every dog owner. I always wiped down KORU BEAR’s fur, paw, and rear every time we’ve been outdoors. I also carry a packet pet wipes in my bag; it’s been handy on our pet travels.

3. Dry Shampoo
Recently, dog dry shampoo’s popularity has surged. This waterless dog bath is a time and hassle saver for many dog parents. Also, if your dog is not a fan of baths, a dog dry shampoo is helpful. You can make your own dog dry shampoo by mixing 1 cup of cornstarch and half a cup of baking soda.

Waterless Dog Baths Rufus and Coco Dog Grooming

At PetSmart, you can find Australian brand Rufus & Coco Water Free Wash. This is a talcum-free powdered dry shampoo which contains non-toxic ingredients. Two main ingredients are cornstarch and baking soda. it is safe when your dog licks it. It is formulated to:
a. clean by absorbing natural oils and dirt
b. neutralize odor in your dog’s coat and leaves a fresh scent
c. prevent static
d. add volume and body to your dog’s coat

It is definitely easy to use and KORU BEAR enjoyed his waterless dog bath especially it involves no water; just Rufus & Coco Water Free Wash dry dog shampoo, a massage, and a brush. It provided a fresh scent and KORU BEAR feels refresh.

4. Spray Deodorizer
On your regular brushing, make sure to use deodorizer spray like Rufus and Coco 3in1 Pamper Spray. This is pawfect to use in between dog baths. It is boosted with wheat proteins, vitamin E and panthenol which soothe and moisturize your dog’s skin and coat.

It is convenient to use; simply spritz on your dog’s fur then brush through. I love that it is also formulated to de-tangle and add shine to your dog’s coat.

It is exciting to share that Rufus & Coco is now exclusively available at PetSmart. We invite you to visit your local PetSmart store to check Rufus & Coco pet grooming products.

Waterless dog baths are not meant to be a permanent substitute for a good bath with water and right dog shampoo mix. Instead, it’s something you may use in between regular baths.

5 Benefits of Bathing Your Dog Featuring Rufus & Coco

October 22, 2018

Cleanliness is vital to your dog’s overall health and happiness. Every day, KORU BEAR gets a lot of outdoor time. From our walks, it’s amazing how much dirt can accumulate on his fur and especially paws. We established a daily min-wash routine and a bath time schedule. We also opt to bathe KORU BEAR instead of going to the groomers. There are many benefits bathing your dog.

5 Benefits of Bathing Your Dog

1. Strengthens Your Bond
Bath time creates a special positive interaction with your dog. Your dog will learn how to enjoy bath time in a different way (especially if your dog is not a fan of baths).

2. Your Dog Feels Good, Fresh and Clean
Bathing removes dirt and odors from your dog skin and coat. KORU BEAR always feels good and smell amazing after a good bath.

fresh clean bathing your dog

Bathing your dog is like giving a dog massage too. This occurs when lathering up the shampoo on your dog’s skin and fur. This is KORU BEAR’s favorite part of bath time. Dog Dad gives the best dog bath massage.

Rufus & Coco

Bathing your dog with a good quality shampoo is very important. A wrong dog shampoo can cause unbearable irritation on your dog’s skin. For the past weeks, we’ve been washing KORU BEAR with all-natural Rufus & Coco dog shampoo which is designed to gently but thoroughly clean and groom dogs – even your canine mate with the most sensitive skin.

Named after the two most popular dog names in Australia, Rufus & Coco is an award-winning Australian pet brand. Rufus & Coco takes pride in ensuring to provide quality pet products. Their products have gone through Australia’s rigorous product standards (some of the highest in the world!).

Rufus & Coco definitely set the bar high for maximum dog health and happiness? Did you know? Dog skin has a different pH level to humans. A human’s shampoo is around ​200 times too acidic for a pet’s skin!

Rufus & Coco dog shampoo contains all natural, non-toxic ingredients and most importantly the pH balanced is for pet’s skin level. I love that Rufus & Coco has hypo-allergenic fresh fragrance.

KORU BEAR had an enjoyable bath using Rufus & Coco 2 in 1 Oatmeal Wash. A soothing oatmeal dog bath was pawfect for all KORU BEAR’s beach fun. Rufus & Coco dog shampoo is concentrated; so a little goes a long way. For a big dog (with lots of fluff) like KORU BEAR, he had five washes using Rufus & Coco 2 in 1 Oatmeal Wash.

3. Monitors Your Dog’s Health
Bathing your dog can prevent health conditions. For dogs prone to allergies, a fresh bath can prevent itchiness and taking any medications. Early detection is crucial, thus during bath time, it is important to make a habit to check your dog’s skin for abnormalities, irritations, lumps, and cuts. It is much easier to treat problems that are detected early. If you suspect any problems, contact your veterinary immediately.

4. Happy Dog, Happy Home
A clean dog is a happy dog! Several surveys have shown that bathing your dog can have important health benefits for you and your family. Family members suffer fewer allergies and illnesses. Bathing your dog also helps to keep your living environment cleaner. No bad dog-odor will linger in your home and less shedding will occur. Everyone will feel comfortable and safer.

5. Fewer Vet Visits
A bath routine will keep your dog in tip-top shape and health; thus keeps your dog away from visiting the vet.

Health Benefits of Hemp for Dogs | Happy Hempies

October 16, 2018

Hemp products are increasing in popularity especially for dogs. Many dog owners are being conscious about their dog’s health, and open on trying hemp-based products. Hemp for dogs has some surprising benefits.

Happy Hempies HEMP Dog Chew Supplements

This post is sponsored by Happy Hempies. I am being compensated to help share Happy Hempies dog chews. Golden Woofs only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers.

Hemp and Marijuana are NOT the Same?

Hemp and Marijuana come from the same Cannabis family (same plant–Cannabis sativa). Hemp is completely different from marijuana. How is it different? The chemical makeup, cultivation methods, and applications of hemp and marijuana are not the same.

Health Benefits of HEMP for Dogs

Health Benefits of Hemp for Dogs

Hemp is a superfood ingredient and becoming popular not just for people, but pets too. From my research, here are some potential health benefits of adding hemp to your dog’s diet.

  • strengthens the immune system
  • help prevent cancer and heart disease
  • support healthy organ function
  • supports healthy brain functions
  • reduce joint pain inflammation
  • supports a healthy weight
  • help increase energy
  • improves the condition of skin and fur

“Hemp helps support your dog’s immune system? Having a strong immune system is the key to a healthy and long life.” – Happy Hempies –

Happy Hempies Dog Chews

For the past weeks, KORU BEAR tried Happy Hempies created by Best Bully Sticks who “believes in a holistic approach to nutrition and a holistic approach to the relationships we have with our four-legged friends.”

Happy Hempies

Launched last month, Happy Hempies are hemp chew supplements with an added layer of nutrient and health benefit functions for your dog.

There are three kinds of Happy Hempies dog chews:

Happy Hempies Stress Support Dog Chews
If your dog gets stressed out over weather changes such as thunderstorms, car rides, and/or new environment, these chews are pawfect way to soothe your dog’s anxiety naturally. These holistic dog chew supplements are made with hemp plus chamomile and green tea extract.

Happy Hempies Healthy Body Support Chews
Keep your dog in optimal shape with these body support chews. Made with ingredients such as hemp, turmeric, and krill oil these treats will provide natural nutritional support – helping to support your dog’s fur, digestion, heart health, and more.

Happy Hempies Joint Support Chews
Formulated with joint health in mind. Made with hemp oil, green-lipped mussel, glucosamine, and chondroitin. These chews are full of anti-inflammatory goodness and help support mobility, agility, and flexibility.

Do Hemp Treats Work?

Since we travel a lot and can be stressful for KORU BEAR, I tried the Happy Hempies Stress Support Dog Chews to cope with his anxiety.

Health Benefits of Hemp for Dogs

When we visited San Francisco Crissy Field, KORU BEAR’s stressed level was very high. With his morning meal, he had 4 1/2 chews of Happy Hempies Stress Support Dog Chews. One way we calm him down was to provide more chews. It took him about an hour to calm down. This was only the first week I’ve tried Happy Hempies so the effectiveness was not visible. In order  to see a good result on dog chew supplements, your dog must be on it for about 3-6 months.

Happy Hempies

These safe veterinarian-approved Happy Hempies hemp chew supplements are made in the USA. Like other hemp products on the market, these chew supplements contain less than 0.03% THC, thus no hallucinogenic effects – it is completely safe for dogs and medicinally beneficial.

These Happy Hempies are deliciously flavored with beef and a great size. The recommended serving is ½ a soft chew per 10lbs of your dog’s weight. These are daily chew supplements thus for a maximum effect, it is advisable to administer twice daily, 12 hours apart. For KORU BEAR’s weight, he needs 4 1/2 chews (9 chews/day). Each chew bag is sold for $29.99 at HappyHempies.com, Amazon, and Petco.com.

Surgi Snuggly Wonder Suit Alternative to Cone of Shame

April 6, 2018

Recently, KORU BEAR was neutered, and our AAHA veterinarian required him to rest for 14 days, no bath, check the incision twice a day and wear pet color – an Elizabethan collar. Oh no, the Cone of Shame! Surgi Snuggly Wonder Suit to the rescue!

Surgi Snuggly Wonder Suit Alternative to Cone of Shame

Surgi Snuggly found out that KORU BEAR was getting neutered and they sent their Wonder Suit to provide comfort to his recovery. Golden Woofs only share information we feel is relevant to our readers.

5 Tips for Helping Your Dog Heal After Neuter Surgery

5 Tips for Helping Your Dog Heal After Neuter Surgery

1.
It is important to always abide by your veterinarian’s instructions when it comes to post-surgical care. For the safety of your dog, follow your veterinarian required ‘healing period’ of 14 days to avoid any complication that could cause your dog to have a longer restriction time.

2.
Keep your dog restricted. Too much motion and activities might cause the incision site to open up. I was told by KORU BEAR’s vet that excessive movement could result in bleeding and can be very painful.

3.
Keep your dog clean. However, no bath for 10-14 days Why no bath after neuter surgery? It is crucial to keep your dog’s surgical incision dry to prevent any bacteria or infection into the surgical incision. If your dog needs to be cleaned, use a warm washcloth, pet wipes, or dry shampoo.

4.
If your dog enjoys tummy rubs, it is the best way to check your dog’s surgical incision. Watch out for redness, swelling, and discharge. If a dramatic change occurred on the surgical incision, visit your vet.

5.
For your dog to avoid licking and scratching the surgical incision, your vet will recommend an Elizabethan collar (e-collar or cone of shame). For many dogs, it takes time/days to get accustomed using an e-collar, and it can be very uncomfortable. Surgi Snuggly Wonder Suit is a fantastic alternative.

Surgi Snuggly Alternative E Collar

Surgi Snuggly Wonder Suit Alternative to Cone of Shame

Surgi Snuggly started in 2009. Dr. Paul O. Williams DVM along with his wife Tonua realized that their pup Hannah needed an alternative from a cone of shame to recover from her surgery.

“It is my mission to provide meaningful, useful products for you and your pets ensuring your lives together are the fullest, healthiest and happiest!”
– Tonua Williams, CEO Surgi Snuggly

Surgi Snuggly is a stretchy recovery wonder suit. It eases pain and assists in healing your dog’s surgical incision. It helps restrict your dog from licking or chewing at the surgical incision.


KORU BEAR Cone of Shame Free

Surgi Snuggly tremendously helped KORU BEAR’s recovery period. He was able to sleep well thus relaxed and happy. The relaxed fit, soft and super stretchy material made it easy to put on the Surgi Snuggly. Watch the video below demonstrated by veterinarian Dr. Williams.

KORU BEAR was comfortable wearing it for the entire time of his recovery period. He was able to go potty and poop wearing the suit – it’s unique design allows for a full or half body coverage. The back pocket allows for pet elimination while keeping the rear of suit clean and away from the surgical incision.

Lots of Golden Thanks Surgi Snuggly Wonder Suit!
