Caring For Your Older Kitty

Do you have a senior kitty? Check out our helpful tips to ensure your older kitty is happy and healthy:

Schedule regular check ups with the vet – Wellness checks help to ensure your kitty is has optimum health. This will help detect small changes in health and make sure you are preventing disease.

Be alert to changes in weight. Both weight gain and loss should be mentioned to your veterinarian. Weight loss in older cats can be a sign something is wrong such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, or intestinal disease.

Watch for signs of pain – If your kitty has difficulty going up and down stairs and jumping up to his food bowl, talk to your veterinarian.

Monitor the litter box – Make sure your kitties stool is normal and there is the consistent amount of urine in the litter boxes. Also if your cat is missing the litter box, there may be underlying issues your veterinarian can help you with to make your kitty feel better.

If you have any concerns about the health of your older kitty, please call your vet to schedule an exam.

Keep Your Pets Safe In The Heat

Summer is here! Below are some tips to keeping your pets safe in the hot summer heat:

• The ground is HOT! I you are going to take your pet, make sure to walk them in the grass or the shade whenever possible.  A quick tip: if the pavement is too hot for your bare hands or feet, it’s too hot for your pet’s paws.
• WATER! Always make sure to provide plenty of water to your pet. Staying hydrated is crucial on hot days to avoid illness. Whether your pet is indoors or outdoors, be sure to fill their water bowls several times a day and provide multiple watering stations.
• Please do not leave your pet in the car. On a mild to hot day, temperatures in a closed car (even with the windows cracked) can exceed 120 degrees in minutes, creating a very dangerous condition for any animal. Cracking a window or parking in the shade does not help. Please just leave your pet at home indoors.
• Take extra caution with older dogs. Just like older humans, older dogs can be especially susceptible to higher temperatures. And certain breeds with shorter noses (like pugs and bulldogs) are at a greater risk of heatstroke.
• Stay inside during the hot times of the day. Avoid being outside for long periods of time during the hottest time of the day. Animals can get sick quickly on hot days, even if they are in the shade.

If your pet is exhibiting signs of heat stroke, take your pet to the veterinarian immediately.

New To The Dog World?

Dogs make the best companions and can bring so much joy to you and your family. If you are looking to adopt a dog, please check out these helpful tips for new dog owners:

• Make Sure Your Dog Gets Enough Exercise: Dogs need exercise to burn calories, stimulate their minds, and stay healthy. Individual exercise needs vary based on breed or breed mix, sex, age and level of health. Exercise also tends to help dogs avoid boredom, which can lead to destructive behaviors. Supervised fun and games will satisfy many of your pet’s instinctual urges to dig, herd, chew, retrieve and chase. From the ASPCA.
• Make Sure Your Dog Can Be Found If Lost: Every pet should always wear a collar that sports an identification tag with your name, telephone number and address. It is a fact of life that dogs can sometimes get out of their houses or yards, and may need a little help getting back home. If your dog’s got some sort of identification, it will greatly increase the chances that he will be returned safely to you.

• Regular Vet Visits: Preventive care is important because a vet can help detect and sometimes prevent a disease or life-threatening illness from reaching an advanced stage, saving you and your pet from needless suffering and a larger financial burden.  Take your dog to the vet for a full check-up, vaccines, and a heartworm test every year. At the annual exam, your vet will also take a fecal sample to check for intestinal parasites, and give a deworming medication if necessary. Your vet should also prescribe you a heartworm prevention medication that is generally administered by mouth once a month. Source: FidosFavorites

Hot Weather Bringing Out Stinky Smells?

Summer is upon us and with hot weather usually comes stinky smells!

Sometimes odors can surface from dog runs, urine saturated concrete, closed up rooms and more when it is hot out. We have lots of customers who use our Pet Odor Eliminator on concrete floors and carpets during the hot months of the year. All you have to do is simply sprinkle granules on the area where odor is the strongest. Vacuum or sweep up the granules after 24 hours and the odor will be gone!

If you have any artificial or even real grass that your pets frequently use for the restroom, our Odor Eliminating Bucket can be sprinkled directly on the grass to eliminate any foul odors. This is a great alternative to sprays that will kill your grass and can be harmful to pets. Clear the Air is safe even if ingested so you don’t have to worry about any harmful side affects to your pets or children!

Another great use for Clear the Air during the hot summer months is your trash cans. Are you overwhelmed by your trash can odor when you are in the garage? Maybe you have a dumpster that the odor just won’t leave. Here are some tips to eliminating trash can odor:

1.  Hang an Odor Remover Bag in each trash can.
2.  Hang an Odor Remover Bag over the trash cans.
3.  Sprinkle 1/2 cup of Odor Eliminator granules on the bottom of the trash can.
4.  Add more granules on top of trash as needed.

How Long Does the Earth Care Odor Remover Bag Last?

Today’s helpful hint

How long will the Earth Care Odor Remover Bag last?
Typically the bag will last 3 months after it is removed from the plastic.  (It will last indefinitely in the plastic.)
It does depend on the types of odors it is being used on.
For example, for a dead rodent odor it will typically last 3 months, so the bag will typically outlast the stink from the carcass.
If it is being used for strong cigarette odor it may only last a few days or weeks.

How you can I tell if the bag is no longer removing odors?
If you hang a bag and the odor is gone for a time period but returns, that indicates that the bag is “full” and you need to add more bags.   Or if you smell the bag and it has an odor that also indicates the bag is “full”.

What do you mean the bag is “full”?
Think of the bag as a sponge.  Odor is drawn into the bag and the Earth Care Mineral inside absorbs the odor.  The molecular structure of Earth Care consists of billions of microscopic pores, which gives it a large surface area (exceeding the size of a football field). This enables Earth Care to absorb phenomenal amounts of odors.  Once “full” it becomes saturated and can no longer absorb odors.
