PET TIPS

Dry Baths for Dogs - Help your dog stay fresh smelling by giving them periodic dry baths. Rub dry Baking Soda (Bicarbonate of Soda) into their fur, then comb or brush it through and out. The Baking Soda is non-toxic and safe for use around your dog. It is a quick way to a fresh dog!

Deodorize Pet Bedding - Eliminate odors from pet bedding by sprinkling liberally with Baking Soda (Bicarbonate of Soda), wait 15 minutes (or longer for stronger odors), then vacuum up. Baking Soda is non-toxic and safe to use around your pets!

Less mess when transporting your pets - While keeping your animal in a crate, to control food, water stains off walls and keep better control of loose hair, purchase clear one side stick roll carpet runners. Moving companies use these runners on steps and walking areas to protect carpets from stains. The runners work like a large roll of scotch tape. You can adhere carpet roll with the sticky side to the outer sides and rear of the crate. Just start on one side and roll around to cover the rear and other side and cut with scissors. Once the runner gets overly soiled remove and replace. One roll will last a long time. I would not use on puppies/dogs that may try to chew to outside of crate. What's great is animals can see out, you can better control hair and wall stains and the carpet roll is easy to remove or replace. There is still plenty of air circulation from the front and top of the crates.

Pet Baths - When washing your pets, place a rubber mat in the bottom of the tub for a more secure footing for your pet. It will feel safer and be more relaxed.

Housetraining Tricks - Housetrain your dog to go outside to pee with this clever little trick. Hang a bell by the back door that your puppy or dog can reach. When you want to take your puppy outside, ring the bell. As he gets older he will ring the bell when he needs to go out
