Surviving Thunderous Fireworks
So many pets are terrified of fireworks. Some dogs jump fences and escape yards, numerous other pets just cower and shake in a corner of the house. Thankfully, there are ways to help them survive the fireworks with less stress. One of the most effective we have encountered is the ThunderShirt. ThunderShirt uses gentle, consistent pressure to calm the animal, similar to swaddling a baby. Based on feedback from our customers, the calming effect is usually quick, and dramatic. It's made of a lightweight, stretchy material, so it shouldn't cause your pet to overheat. Watch videos of the huge difference a ThunderShirt can make here. ThunderShirt's are available in a range of sizes for both dogs and cats. We stock all sizes for dogs, however the cat ones are special order, so please let us know in advance if you would like to try one. It only takes a few days for us to get them in. If you think a shirt isn't right for your dog or cat, or you have a different species, we also have Rescue Remedy, a liquid you can feed or rub on your critters ear, as well as calming collars and sprays. Come see us, we'll help you figure out what is best.
Coconut Benefits in a Tasty Treat 
Coconut oil is all the rage among health food nuts, and for good reason. Many people who take coconut oil, or give it to their pets, report improved skin and better digestion. Coconut oil is also high in antioxidants which support cognitive function. Read a complete list of some of the potential benefits of coconut oil here. Five Star Organic raining Treats are a great choice for dogs with allergies, or when you are trying to control caloric intake (they are only 1 calorie per treat). The super simple ingredients are:
Coconut Gingered Pumpkin 
Ingredients: Organic coconut flour, organic ground peas, organic pumpkin puree, organic coconut oil, organic eggs, organic ginger.

Coconut Bananas Foster
Ingredients:
Organic coconut flour, organic ground peas, organic banana puree, organic coconut oil, organic eggs.

 

Chia Treats! 
Chia seed is another nutrient powerhouse, a concentrated food containing healthy omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium. Lincoln Bark makes both soft treats, great for training, and bite-sized crunchy freeze-dried treats, both of which contain chia. The freeze-dried treats contain only the meat and chia, making them another awesome treat for allergic pets, as well as a great way to get extra fiber in to those who need it.
New Bunny Toys! 
Napoleon Bunnyparte is based in Canada, making great toys and supporting rabbit rescue along the way. We've brought in an assortment of their toys, my favorite of which is Bundora's Box. This fun toy is make of durable and chew safe cardboard, and is stuffed with 3-4 dried cranberries. Toss, chew, and dig, but the box isn't giving up its treasures easily! The box is locked up tight with a tasty organic apple stick, a wood ball, and wood block.
SuperBird Creations Flying Trapeze! 
This swinging toy can be just be put in the cage for the bird to sit on and chew up, but why stop there? Weave things through the mat, pepper it with treats and food to encourage natural foraging behavior!
