ABOUT TEAR STAINS

I know a lot of people complain about the tear stains on their otherwise beautiful looking dogs. I came across this site, and want to share it with you. (ps I do not get any $ for promoting this, I just wanted to point it out to you)

ABOUT TEAR STAINS - All of our ingredients are products of the USA.

Many people wonder why some dogs and cats eyes water, which causes a stain on the fur just below their eyes. This condition is called epiphora. When the facial hair is wet from excess tearing it is the breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. Not only is it unsightly but may be very irritating to your pet. The staining may also emit a moderate to noticeably strong odor.

Up until now these reddish brown stains due to tear pigments were hard to eliminate completely. Read the whole article here!

I was asked this question:

“How can I tell where the quick is on my dog’s nails…they are black and I can’t see where the “quick” ends?”

My fellow Twitterers answered:

Spring Clean Up For Your Dog - Grooming Tips

It’s Pet Clean Up Month! Spring Cleaning For Your Pet. The best part? When you are finished, and your dog smells ooooooh so nice! See the video tips at the end of this article.

We’ve got all the right tools for grooming your pet during this upcoming season of shedding and playing outside. With the temperatures rising it is time to think about keeping your pet looking and feeling good. We have recently added three new lines of natural grooming products that are safe for use on your pet.
Coat
Brush your pet thoroughly every couple of days at least.

Nails
Trim your pet’s nails regularly. If you do not want to do it yourself, find a groomer.

Ears** Very important - Try this ear formula care
Ear care is a very important part of grooming your pet. Ear infections can not only be painful, but lead to permanent hearing loss. The signs of a problem with your dogs ears include redness, constant scratching, head shaking and odor.

Teeth
Your dog can get cavities and develop periodontal disease just like people, so their teeth should be cleaned with a pet toothpaste (do NOT use people paste!) at least twice per week.

And when you are finished grooming … use this! I love it!

Soothing Mist - An Herbal Blend to enhance the health of our pet’s skin. We all know that sometimes our pet’s skin can look just awful! And when they bite and scratch themselves, they make us feel hopeless. That’s where Soothing Mist comes in. Soothing Mist enhances the natural life cycle of healthy skin.

Or use some of the best “spa” products. Get Ready For Dog Spring Cleaning
