February is National Pet Dental Awareness Month

February is National Dental Awareness Month and my local veterinarian just sent me a coupon for $30 off of my dental cleaning. I have a friend named Angel who will be taking advantage of this offer. She doesn’t know it yet but her pet parent thinks her kisses smell bad and she wants to freshen her breath by having her teeth cleaned.

According to the Healthy Pet report, dental disease affects 85% of dogs and cats over the age of 2. Even though there are many pet products out there like toothpaste, oral gels and rinses, pet parents today resist putting a toothbrush or finger brush inside our mouths. If you live in a  multiple pet household, be patient while you are waiting in line. You may be able to sneak off and hide if you really don’t like the process.

Here are 9 reasons why you should have your teeth cleaned by a veterinarian:

  1. Your teeth turn yellow
  2. Your gums can become swollen or inflamed from plaque and tartar buildup
  3. You may have gingivitis if your gums are red or bleeding
  4. You may have oral pain
  5. You may not be chewing your food very well
  6. You may not want to eat
  7. You may be drooling excessively
  8. You may have loose or broken teeth
  9. No one wants your kisses anymore

Your pet parent may think that by giving you raw bones, your teeth will stay clean. What they may not realize is that you have cracked or broken a tooth on a bone. Infection can set in and cause you a lot of pain.

Enzymatic chews, rawhides, porkhides, and dental toys may help you keep your teeth clean. Your pet parent may even scale your teeth periodically to clean the tartar. However, it is extremely difficult to get to our back teeth when we are awake, no matter how cooperative we are.

The truth is, studies show that as many as 80% of us dogs and 70% of those *x! cats develop signs of periodontal disease or gingivitis before we reach 3. Bacteria can get into our bloodstream and cause damage to our heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. Oral disease is almost entirely preventable.

If I haven’t convinced you yet to have your pet parent schedule a dental appointment for you, then listen to my story. My pet parent scaled my teeth periodically. The vets were never concerned about the condition of my teeth whenever I went in for my exams.  Even when I was under anesthesia for repairs after being attacked by other dogs, no one picked up on anything wrong with my teeth.

It wasn’t until I was almost 8 that my vet insisted that it was time for a dental cleaning because I had a strange odor coming from my mouth that was not the smell of cat poo or some other disgusting tidbit that I scooped up on the way into the office.

All I can say is, find a caring veterinarian with an excellent staff and have your pet parent schedule a dental cleaning for you this February National Dental Awareness Month. Then you can celebrate having a beautiful smile once again once your cleaning is done!  Have your pet parent leave a comment on your normal dental routine…we’d like to know how you keep your teeth pearly white.

Now You Can Have Fine Art and Support Dogs Too!

Take your pet parent to The Fine Art Sale in New York City just before the Westminster Dog Show. Yes, that’s right…you can go to the festivities with them. You may want to help them select a dog painting for your room. You can join the AKC and AKC Humane Fund for the Barkfest at Bonhams’ Charity Brunch.

You will be able to meet the reigning AKC/Eukanuba National Champion “London,”

Best in Show Standard Poodle

London

aka Standard Poodle GCH Jaset’s Satisfaction. He will be making an appearance before he appears at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show the next day. Follow London on Facebook and Twitter. The 2011 AKC Humane Fund ACE Therapy Dog honoree Miki the Pomeranian will share his experiences on AKC’s Facebook page.

A Celebration of the Dog in Art begins Sunday, February 12, from 10 am to 12 pm. There will be plenty of goodies for you and your pet parent in Bonhams’ spacious galleries located in the IBM building on Madison Avenue between 56th and 57th Street. Plan ahead and make reservations to get in the door for a $50 donation to the AKC Humane Fund…if you don’t plan, then you will have to pay $60 at the door. The AKC Humane Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charity so your pet parents can get a tax deduction for their donation…and remember, you get to eat the “goodies.” Have them call the AKC RSVP line at 1-212-696-8225 or reserve your spot online.

You will have to be on your best behavior as you go through the gallery. These artists painted their masterpieces back in the 1800′s so they are very old and very valuable. You better hold onto your pet parent’s money source because these paintings are irresistible. Check out the painting by F.de Wit of the Buffet Crasher…reminds me of some of my friends who steal food from the table when no one is watching.

The Fine Art Sale is all about Dogs in Show & Field. The Preview starts February 11-14. The Auction will be held Wednesday, February 15th at 10 am. This is Bonhams’ 30th annual sale. It will contain paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture and other dog-related objects. American artists Percival Rosseau and Edmund Osthaus will have their works there. So will British painters John Emms, Maud Earl and the prolific painter Reuben Ward Binks.

So how does all of this artwork support dogs? The American Kennel Club Humane Fund, Inc. promotes the joy and value of responsible pet ownership through education, outreach and grant making. The AKC certainly helped us promote Responsible Dog Owner Day at the Frostburg Dog Park in Maryland so I’m all for other dogs having their parents donate for this cause.

Watch this pet video to see the true mastery of these painters. Tell me how you feel after you look into the eyes of those dogs…they come to life before your eyes!

My pet parent and I attended BlogPaws 2011 where we spotted the LeashLocket retractable leash on display…and I immediately wanted to sniff the display to see if these lockets carried dog treats. I am sure your pet would view anything that is attached to their collar in the same way.

Leash Locket at BlogPaws 2011

Let me report first that Amelia has her reservations about retractable leashes due to some people having received serious injuries from the retractable corded leads. The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship even bans them from their show grounds to prevent not only human accidents but also a repeat of dogs being scared by retracting handles chasing them that they have pulled from their handler’s grip…causing them to run off into a dangerous situation. Those concerns aside, Amelia does attach a retractable belted lead to me when we are going on nature walks where strict control is not required.

Upon closer examination, we found out that the LeashLocket is a revolutionary retractable belted leash in that it actually attaches to a magnet that is on an elastic strap that snaps around my collar. Wow…how convenient to use on the trail. Now, instead of both of my pet parents having to carry a separate leash for times when they are not in the same location and have to put a leash on me, I can just return to them carrying my one and only leash! This allows them to have instant control without having to fumble with snapping a leash onto my collar.

The LeashLocket is so lightweight that I don’t even notice it. Amelia feels this LeashLocket will also be ideal to use in the agility and obedience training rings. Many handlers use a short tab that is attached to their dog’s collar but with a big coat like mine, a tab can get lost in my mass of fur. The LeashLocket will be much easier to locate.

So what else makes the LeashLocket so appealing? Both of my pet parents like the way the locket fits comfortably in their hands. An optional wrist strap attaches to the locket for those times when their hands need to be free to grab my doggie bag and scoop the ‘you know what.’

Retractable leads normally extend from 10 to 26 feet which gives the pet the ability to lead the pet parent wherever the trail leads…or not. The LeashLocket extends less than 6 feet so I remain in a safe walking zone near my pet parent. Cool.

We had a puppy try out the LeashLocket during puppy socialization time in class. The other puppies quickly knocked the LeashLocket off of its magnet but the snap kept it attached to the collar and the locking mechanism on the lead kept it close to the puppy. The puppy was not at all bothered by the dangling locket and none of the other puppies tried to grab the locket. If someone planned to use the LeashLocket during play time at the dog park, they may want to make sure the locket magnet is attached somewhere on the dog where the locket will remain secured to the magnet. The optional wrist strap can be removed and attached to a belt loop for later use.

The LeashLocket comes complete with Precautions and Instructions for Use. The top three tips suggest that the locket is only to be worn when dogs are supervised, that they are to be used on well-trained dogs only and handled only by adults. For more information, visit www.LeashLocket.com

Take time to watch our short and fun pet video review of the LeashLocket.

We received a Leash Locket from the company for our review. We were not paid for our review and all opinions about the LeashLocket are entirely our own.

Pets Take Action After More Dog Treat Warnings

Does your pet parent react with fear when they hear about more dog treat warnings? A recent warning involves chicken jerky treats from China. These may also be sold as chicken tenders, chicken strips or chicken treats. FDA officials said that the number of illnesses reported has gone up from the 54 reports filed in 2010 to 70 so far this year.

Only 70 reports of illness, you say? What if you are one of the 70? Have you lost your appetite? Has your energy level decreased to the level of only rolling over? Are you recycling your food or gushing with urgency? Are you thirstier and watering the grass more often? Have you been diagnosed with diabetes when, in fact, you may have Fanconi syndrome? If you have been fed those questionable treats, stop and consider a trip to the vet if you don’t start feeling better within 24 hours.

My pet parent took action years ago, even before dog treat and dog food warnings were in the news. I am benefiting by eating food and treats that are carefully made with a purpose in mind…and it’s not all about the money!

I can recommend a healthy alternative to you with our Holiday Gift Basket for dogs.

Holiday Gift Basket

It comes complete with an assortment of our most popular treats. When I’m looking a bit fluffier than usual, I eat wholesome hearts. When my teeth need a light cleaning, I eat the gourmet dental treats and chew on the porkhide bones. The antioxidant health bars chase those pesky free radicals away. When I am really super good at performing, I earn some Tasty Rewards.

 

Holiday Gift Basket for Cats

If you have a cat or cats in the house, have your pet parents order the Cat gift basket. They might stop ambushing your tail while you are dreaming if they learned that your pet parents heeded the warnings because of your health concerns.

 

 

 

If your pet parent would like to report a potential pet-treat-related illness from tainted treats, have them take action by filing a complaint at the FDA website.

Ask your pet parent to change the kind of treats that they give to you or your family feline so that your family can enjoy a happy holiday season. Give us your feedback.

Pet Holiday Greeting Cards add a Personal Touch

40 Ways to Grow Your Business

Greeting cards that feature pets definitely add a personal touch to the the holidays. These cards are also a great way to grow any kind of business. With postal rates going up and service delivery going down, the number of holiday cards seem to be dwindling as pet parents are pushed for time and money. Inboxes are full so not even E-cards provide the perfect solution to showing people how much you appreciate their friendship throughout the year.

My pet parent found a great way to send postcards and greeting cards to our clients…not only can my picture be on the front of the card, but their pet’s picture can be inside the card…or the other way around…I tend to think life is all about me, so forgive the slip of the words there.

It's ALL about Me!

Instead of sending “cookie-cutter cards,” we can send out our personalized cards at a very reasonable price…which is amazing since this system that we use also comes complete with a Contact Manager. This enables us to have our client’s information on file so that we can send them a greeting card quickly at any time of the year while we are sitting at the computer. We can even send the same card to a number of clients or members of the dog kennel club at the same time. This permits my pet parent to have more time to play with me since this company prints the cards and mail them for us…all for about $1.00 per card.

We would be happy to show you how you can use our web site to send your customized greeting cards from the comfort of your home. If your pet parent is not at all creative or just lacks time to be, they can chose from thousands of cards already in the card library.

I must tell you though, that if you tell your pet parents about this and they chose to use this system to save themselves time and money, I will earn some money to buy more treats for my friends at the Frostburg Dog Park. I am a dog with a job that has fringe benefits. Your pet parents can earn commissions by sending greeting cards too…imagine that! Dream big…perhaps a huge bone or new bed or your own hydrotherapy pool!

Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you the other nifty thing about this holiday greeting card system that we use. We can send gifts to our friends and clients too! We send gifts to the veterinarians and groomers that refer business to us. Sometimes we send candy and sometimes we send pet treats.

Happy Thanksgiving

This picture is on the front of my Thanksgiving card. Isn’t it cute?

Pet greeting cards can be created in advance for every reason and every season. Some pet parents really get carried away with their pet pictures and create lots of cards. When it comes to letting people know that you care, there is nothing better than a greeting card or a gift that they can actually hold in their hands. Just think of all the fun you can have too by opening the gifts for them! If you have a reputation for being naughty by shredding paper, your pet parent can take a picture of you shredding the card and making you a poster pet on a greeting card!

If your pet parent is thinking about the chore of sending greeting cards this holiday season, have them check us out at PersonalTouchContacts.com for a quick and easy way to take action, to keep old friends and to make new friends.

Come back here and tell us about your photo session for your greeting cards…remember you get lots of treats for smiling!

Digging Into BlogPaws 2011 Treasures

I’ve been digging into the BlogPaws 2011 treasures that my pet parent brought home from this gathering of pet bloggers. I am a discerning watchdog so Amelia took me along to keep her company. I also networked with the other pets, boned up on my social skills, and had some fun…actually the ferrets provided entertainment for me during some of the same sessions that we were in together.

BlogPaws 2011 was sandwiched in between the East Coast Earthquake and Hurricane Irene…which explains why some of the speakers never made it in or others had to leave early. We arrived Thursday, just in time for the Welcome Reception. The Sheraton Premiere at Tysons Corner welcomed pets in all of the educational sessions, general sessions, exhibit areas AND MEAL AREAS!! Of course, Amelia was required to fill out a Pet Waiver for me. A complimentary Pet Park and pet sitters were available too.

Friday morning’s Keynote was by Rescue Ink. Their message was both serious and humorous…and they made my tail wag.

and Travelin’ Jack,

we listened to their pet parents Dayna Hilton and Jill Lane talk about leveraging niche blogging. Those lucky dogs get to travel everywhere with them. They even have their own products to promote their message. Cool.Our next stop was to meet Dino Dogan, the co-founder of Triberr to learn about Reach, Relevance, Design and Presentation. I don’t know what all this fuss is about tribes when most pet parents say we travel in packs…but Amelia understood the value of his message. I slept through it.

Dreaming about Relevance

We had time for two more breakout sessions on Friday so we attended WordPress Tips & Tricks with Nikki Jeske of

Design Coyote

followed by StumbleUpon with Vijay Vachani, Business Development Manager for

StumbleUpon.

I think that is where I stumbled upon some of my own entertainment in the form of sleeping ferrets nesting in bags.

Ferret Entertainment

After snacks, cocktails for pet parents, and more networking, we were invited to the FIRST press screening in the country for Disney’s Spooky Buddies! Many of us dogs in the audience followed the action on the big screen and barked along when the puppies needed some assistance on Halloween night. I also watched the security guard at the front of the room to make sure he didn’t come to close to Amelia. He was one big dude! Amelia and I had our picture taken with Robert Vince, the Director, Producer and Writer of Spooky Buddies. He was sincerely interested in the feedback from the pet bloggers. Amelia got to hold one of the Spooky Buddies while I stayed with one very pretty lady who gave me an awesome neck rub.

Fresh popcorn had been served during the movie and pizza was served after the movie. No one went to bed hungry that night.

 

 

 

 

 

Heidi Ganahl, the Top Dog at

Camp Bow-Wow

was the Keynote speaker on Saturday morning. She found her purpose and overcame her grief after a personal tragedy put her on a journey that has been a blessing for pet parents and pets alike.

Then we learned how to Unleash Our Inner Movie Producer with Kenn Bell of

The Dog Files.

One of Kenn’s dogs left the session with the pet sitter while  his other dog slept through it…she’s heard it all before…

Our next session was about No Blog Being an Island. With Irene coming in, getting an internet connection was proving to be tricky but Felissa Elfenbein of

Two Little Cavaliers

persevered and the room full of people learned about topics such as Linky Lists, BlogHops, and other ways to grow blog traffic.

No Blog is an Island

Every Picture Tells a Story was the last session we attended with Brett Chisholm, the photographer for

LIFE + DOG.

Brett shared tips that we have yet to implement but we certainly hope that you have enjoyed the pictures in this blog post. We are grateful that pet bloggers will continue to bring out the Best of Pets.

How do you like my ghost costume? Do you think I would make a good Spooky Buddy for the Spooky Buddies?

A Natural Ghost Appeared at Spooky Buddies Premier!

Saturday morning, along with our room receipt, we received a letter from the Director of Operations and the Sheraton Team. The letter made us aware of the emergency preparations that were underway in preparation for Hurricane Irene’s arrival in the Washington DC area on Saturday evening, August 27th. Luckily, we drove, so we stayed to within two hours of Irene’s arrival. We sure didn’t want to miss dinner and only missed Saturday night’s networking. The remaining pet bloggers were either stranded there or chose to stay and party…Woofie Woo!

BlogPaws 2011 – Here We Come!

Hanging On Until We Get to BlogPaws 2011 !

My pet parent and I are hanging on until we get to BlogPaws 2011…just as Stuart the kitten is hanging on by a nail while his sister Lizzie stares in awe at his athletic ability. We know we will be hanging on once we get there too on Thursday, August 25. We will be hanging on to the new friends we make and the relationships that we build at this event just for pet bloggers. The Pet Park and the Exhibits will be open. I wonder if the pet park is anything like the Frostburg Dog Park that I go to now?

Rescue Ink will be welcoming the pet bloggers on Friday morning. The day will be filled with so much to learn and many exhibits to see. I wish I could take notes so that Amelia and I could split up and take in more. I think I may be spending some time with other dogs and pets that will be attending.  The hotel has relaxed its pet policy just for this event.  I can’t wait to check out the rooms. We are supposed to have a room with a view.  I haven’t been in a hotel since I was working on my Champion and obedience titles. My manners have improved a great deal since then.  I am a Canine Good Citizen and proud of it!

Saturday will start with more time at the Pet Park, then more information to challenge the mind and soul.  Heidi Ganahi from Camp Bow-Wow will be presenting the morning keynote. I am sure the day will go by very fast…too fast. My pet parent did not want to leave BlogPaws 2010 in Columbus, Ohio and she will probably have the same feelings about this one.

Join us this weekend at BlogPaws 2011!  You can register at the door.

Are Those *Natural* Flea and Tick Repellents Safe?

Adult Deer Tick - Wikipedia image

Are those “natural” flea and tick repellents safe? My pet parent constantly evaluates them since I am way too sensitive to flea and tick products. She has heard about adverse side effects and even death of pets from some toxic products.

Wikipedia image of Hooke Flea

The EPA imposes costly and strict guidelines for insecticides.  Flea and tick treatments are becoming too expensive for manufacturers to produce. Our pet parents bulk at the cost of treatment but are leery of cheap imposters being sold online.  As more pet parents look for healthy alternatives, companies are bringing out “natural” flea and tick products which are cheaper for them to produce.  However, that doesn’t mean that these “natural” products are any safer than insecticides for us.

Have your pet parents dig deeper to find the truth. Lead them to the Green Paws Flea and Tick Products Directory on the NRDC site. It reveals the levels of safety for the toxic flea and tick products as well as herbal or natural products too.

According to Green Paws, the safest flea and tick products contain cedarwood, lemongrass, peppermint, rosemary and thyme.  Allergic reactions in people and severe reactions in cats and dogs have been reported when products that contain citrus, cinnamon, clove, d-limonene, geranium, tea tree, lavender, linalool, bay, eucalyptus and rue oils are used too often. What is too often?  Pennyroyal oil can cause seizures, coma and even death in animals.

My pet parent has used a spritz of purification oil on me and it seems to work well against fleas and ticks. However, several essential oils are known to cause allergic reactions, including severe dermatitis in people or pets. The more severe reactions, especially in cats, include vomiting, salivation, muscle tremors, seizures, and death in a few cases. Little information is available on the efficacy of these oils for flea control.  Keep in mind that no current flea and tick product is 100% effective.

Since our pet parents don’t always look for symptoms and we ourselves cannot report when we’re being poisoned at low doses, it is up to you to let your pet parent know if you are not feeling well and you’d rather they try some other alternatives like:

  • Giving you a bath with natural vegetable based soap or shampoo rather than flea and tick insecticides. Bathe often. Adding a few drops of neem or tea- tree to mild pet shampoos may also be effective.  Have them dip any fleas on your combs or brushes in a glass of soapy water to remove them.
  • Using a mechanical tick remover such as an OTOM or Ticked OFF that is simple and easy.
  • Vacuuming floors, carpets, furniture, crevices and cracks in the area where you sleep and spend time, daily if necessary. Have them dispose of the sealed bag properly outside the home or burn it so that those pesky critters don’t come looking for you again.
  • Have them wash your bedding weekly…which may include “their” bed.
  • Have them buy cedar shampoo, cedar oil and cedar-filled sleeping mats that are commercially available. Cedar repels many insects including fleas. However, be aware that you will be breathing in cedar vapors from bedding so watch for any adverse side effects.
  • If you have a cat in your house that you like, make sure your pet parents know that essential oils are toxic to cats, especially tea tree, which their livers cannot process. Well, let them know anyway even if you live with a cat that you don’t like. ;-)

Shop wisely:

Since natural flea and tick treatments come in many forms, including food additives, make sure that your health conscious pet parent understands that not all of these “natural” products are safe or effective for you. Have them look beyond the glowing adjectives of the flea-free advertising to keep you healthy and happy and free of fleas and ticks.

Savvy pet parents are building the Life’s Abundance brand of holistic pet, people and planet products. These pet parents are a new breed of consumer referred to as New Consumers by a nationally recognized branding and marketing firm, BBMG. These pet parents are driven by practical shopping habits that serve their purpose and are more likely to try new things. Even during the recession, 25 percent of more than 70 million of these new consumers are willing to pay more and are re-evaluating their purchasing priorities.

Premium Health Food

Let’s use the Life’s Abundance pet food from the lineup of the people, pet and planet products as an example of  how these new pet product consumers are building this holistic brand.

After the pet food recall of 2007, pet parents became more aware that they wanted total value in a pet food and were willing to spend a little more for quality over quantity. To their surprise, these New Consumers of Life’s Abundance pet food discovered that they were spending less over time for a more nutritious food than they had been feeding with other brands.

Any questions or concerns about Life’s Abundance pet food that the new consumers have are answered directly by Dr. Jane Bicks, veterinary nutritionist and product formulator. Dr. Jane is able to learn more from her new consumers about their pets’ needs and tastes and provide healthy solutions.

Dr. Jane Bicks

This New pet food consumer asks, “What’s in it for We?” and the answer lies with the Dr. Jane Foundation that supports non-profit animal rescues. Preferred customer pricing is available to those consumers who have their fresh pet food shipped directly to their home.

These parents whose pets are New Consumers of Life’s Abundance pet food not only look at the ingredients listed on the label but are also co-creators of content, products and experiences. They are invited to participate in the company blog, speak with Dr. Jane on her conference calls to have their questions answered and meet with personal independent representatives for the ultimate in customer service. BBMG reports that less than 4 percent of these new pet parent consumers trust a company’s advertising or their product claims, and in this case, many of the pet parents have validated the Life’s Abundance brand on the Internet via social networks as well as third party trustmarks.

Pet Parents have become fiercely loyal to these authentically “excellent” pet food products. These New Consumers have found practical benefits like cost savings, durability and style, social and environmental benefits, as well as social benefits that connect them to a community of like-minded, animal loving friends.

Life’s Abundance provides total value as they welcome input from their consumers . Pet food is delivered fresh to their door at preferred customer pricing. As these New Consumers see their pet’s health improve, many sign on to become independent field representatives for this unique network marketing company, thus funding the costs of their own pet care while building their home-based business. Through the Dr. Jane Foundation, they are also able to assist their local rescue organizations.

This successful Life’s Abundance brand has poised itself for growth by constantly listening to their New consumers of their products, engaging them in conversation and driving healthy, science-based innovation. Life’s Abundance not only improves the health of people, pets and the planet, it changes their world.

Sign up for the Life’s Abundance newsletter to learn more about your pet’s health.

What Everybody Ought to Know About Pets BeJeweled

I feel this is what everybody ought to know about Pets BeJeweled…It’s no surprise to me that a Dachshund inspired her pet parent to get into the business of designing jewelry.

My own pet parent kept seeing dog-related jewelry at ringside during the Upper Potomac Valley Kennel Club’s Fall Mountain Classic dog show so I asked her to find out more.

Pets BeJeweled has finely hand sculpted, truly unique jewelry and home decor created by Monica Galley-Keller. Monica says that she enjoys a challenge and wants to know what she can create for you. Have your pet parent watch this video to meet Monica, hear her story, and see some of her jewelry. Maybe they will have a piece designed that looks like you!

Pawscript: Neither Amelia nor I will be compensated in any way for telling you about Pets BeJeweled.
