PET CARE – Products

Monday, February 15th, 2010 | Our Best Advice | No Comments

natural care for pets requires reading ingredients

Our clients have  always loved animals, many working tirelessly for their safety, rescue, preservation, and better pet care. It’s difficult to write about pet products because new ones come out yearly with allegedly improved ingredients and knowledge of what’s optimal for four legged friends. We’re seeing more animals develop allergies, just as humans are doing, (with children leading) due to environmental, food, water, and diet toxicity. Demand safer products.

Despite fad diets and trends there are certain products touted as pet friendly. Try natural dog grooming products from Cyber Canine you may already know about to test on your pet. They’ve been around for a while and went into business after Sevi (the owner) had her dog Mundo, fall terribly ill from a carpet product without realizing the ramifications to animals. If a strong German Shepherd can get so sick, imagine a baby crawling on floors and what exposure cleaning products utilized for floor care could cause.

TIP: Many people stay away from commercial products and instead choose good old fashioned baking powder for most cleaning jobs. More on baking powder cleaning in our TIPS sitemap. We need to be careful how animals respond to pet products whether ingredients are organic or natural since some animals react to any product. Whichever product you use, if it’s a spray, mix well and apply away from head (ear, eye, nose) area always. While we know that less ingredients used may be better (simple formulas are easier to track for their effect) use those without synthetics and remember that the quantity recommended might still trigger an adverse response, and doesn’t necessarily make it a sustainable product to purchase. Test your animal products the same way you do on your own skin, carefully and sensitively.

sustainable TIPS for pets and the planet

Frischman is a zoo educator, wildlife rehabilitator, and science teacher who helps make the pet-to-planet connection with a realistic route to sustainable pet parenthood.

Our TIPS today come from holistic healthcare which also provides alternative methods for animals. I encourage everyone to learn more about this field because it may give you control over your pets care in a way that current commercial animal care might not. Long ago this was the way animal care was handled, folks didn’t have pet doctors and people used folk medicine to treat animals unless a serious problem developed requiring a veterinarian. It is my firm experience that compassionate care for your pets is to prevent illness, rather then deal with it after they develop problems. This applies to our own health too so why would it be different for our beloved pets.

be careful what you feed pets

Some of our clients have home pet care with veterinarians, pet trainers, dog walkers, and groomers, coming to their estates for servicing several pets at once. Some of their interests about caring for animals involves probiotics. According to Dr. Mercola (Mercola Pet Care), bowel health is among the top 10 reasons pet owners bring animals to the vet. Our TIP is perhaps learning more about probiotics helps avoid office visits. Maximize pets wellbeing by remaining knowledgeable on the job, whether you’re a pet owner, an employer, or an employee whose job requires care for animals.

• Save money on pet doctor visits

research pet food that provides healthy nutritional needs
