| Make It a Clean Sweep This Spring |
 For your spring-cleaning projects,
having the right tools makes all the difference in saving time and making your
place shine. So, even if you do have a lovable shedder or a tail-wagging
drooler, our friends from Arm &
Hammer are here to help you clear the air of any unwanted pet odors. Just
heed these tips:
- Throw out any pet toys
that show too much love, and donate any items your pet is less fond of to
a neighborhood pup or local shelter.
- Avoid using ammonia based
products to clean up pet stains. The smell can trigger your pet to have
more accidents.
- Use 2-in-1
odor-eliminating tools to combat pesky pet odors, like ARM & Hammer's
combo pack of Pet Fresh premium vacuum bags with Pet Fresh
Fresh-ins. Fresh-ins are small white pouches packed with the natural
power of ARM & HAMMER® baking soda that are emptied into a
vacuum bag or dust cup, to safely and naturally neutralize odors inside
and outside the vacuum.
- Name three dog breeds notorious for
shedding.
- Name three drool-prone dog breeds.

Splish, Splash - And Be Safe
Whether the body of water is an ocean, lake or pool, water
therapy is a good aerobic exercise for dogs. In fact, water's natural buoyancy
can be far kinder on dogs than long walks on concrete sidewalks or arduous
hikes on rocky terrain.
Marty Becker, DVM, known as "America's Family Vet," shares these
six safety tips for your water-loving dog: -
Avoid rivers with strong currents or keep your
dog on a long line.
-
Avoid water that is stagnant or that has algae
on it.
-
Never let your dogs swim in small ponds
constructed to drain water from housing developments or ponds at golf courses.
Lots of parasites live in those ponds.
-
After each swim, rinse you dog off in clean
water.
-
Give your dog time to play around in shallow
areas and bring floatable toys and treats that float.
- End the water workout before your dog becomes
overtired.
Be the
fifth and 10th person to e-mail Arden with
the code word, water, and win a WaterDog automatic outdoor drinking fountain. Contact www.contech-inc.com to learn more about WaterDog. Harness more pet advice from Dr. Becker at www.drmartybecker.com or www.petconnection.com. |
'MEW'SINGS &
MUTTISMS™
 Good
thing rude comments roll off our dogs and cats like, well, water off a
duck. Otherwise, they might take offense to such inappropriate comments
as, "He's such a dog!" or "She's being so catty!"
Extra!
Extra! The definition of recycling - canine-style: re-using those plastic
sleeves from daily newspaper deliveries as poop pickup bags. Performing
yoga at home can be challenging, especially when you are trying to hold a
"downward facing dog" pose and your canine pal takes that opportunity to
deliver sloppy kisses to your face - right, Chipper? |
