Do you love animals but for one reason or another cannot have one for yourself?

Do you love animals but for one reason or another cannot have one for yourself?  There are many options to consider that will be able to bring you closer to furry friends and satisfy that basic need to connect with animals.

You may not be permitted to have animals at your apartment or house you rent, health issues may stop an animals from living with you or you may have such a demanding work schedule that having an animal would not be feasible.  Whatever the issue may be, there are solutions.

Volunteering at your local Humane Society is a great way to spend time with animals, especially those in need that are waiting for their forever home.  Check with your neighboring Humane Society to see if you can start volunteering; they usually have various programs for a wide array of animals with a temporary home.  This also helps the animals connect with people more often and prepare them for human contact with their forever home.

Help your neighbor or friend.  If you know that one person that certain someone that doesn’t have time for their pet, make an effort to walk their dog every day or visit their cat and play with him or her.  This will not only make the pet owner feel less guilty, but will also bring enormous joy to their pets, instead of being stuck at home alone.  Walking your neighbor’s dog will not only provide a break in the day for the dog alone at home, but will help you get exercise as well.

Volunteer to pet sit for someone when they go on vacation.  You can have your animal fix for a couple weeks and then when their owners come home, you are back to only worrying about just yourself.  The pet owners will feel comfortable knowing you are taking care of their pets and the pets will have someone to occupy them and help avoid missing their owners.

Our last suggestion is to visit a dog park.  If you are allergic to animals, this is a good solution.  You can simply sit on a bench in the dog park and watch the dogs playing with each other.  A lot of dog parks are operated and managed by volunteers.  Volunteering at your dog park can help give you your animal fix.

Keeping Your Cat’s Litter Box Odor Free

If you can smell your cat’s litter box, it is very overdue for a cleaning and has already been noticeable to your cat for some time.

Just like you wouldn’t like to use a bathroom where a toilet hasn’t been flushed for days, your cat does not enjoy doing his business somewhere the smell is overpowering.  This can lead to the problem of your cat going to the bathroom outside his litter box because the odor in his litter box is overpowering.

A cat’s sense of smell is much more sensitive than ours.  They can sense 200 million odors so you can imagine how critical it is to keep their litter box odor free.  Get in the habit of scooping your cat box at least once a day – it will hardly take any time to do and you wont ever have to face a really dirty box.  Each day it is a good idea to sprinkle Earth Care’s Cat Urine Odor Eliminator after every scooping as well.

Completely emptying your cat box and cleaning it out with soap and water is a good idea to do every two weeks.  It is impossible to get every bit of soiled litter out of the box by simply scooping so ensuring the litter is completely dumped on a regular basis will keep your cat and his nose – along with yours – happy.  Before you fill the clean litter box with litter, sprinkle Earth Care’s Cat Urine Odor Eliminator at the bottom of the box.  This will help to provide an extra layer of odor elimination.

Did you know Earth Care Products Clear the Air is 100% all natural?

If you care about the environment and do not want to use caustic chemicals or add fragrances to the air to eliminate nasty odors than Earth Care’s Clear The Air Odor Eliminators are your answer. Clear The Air is made from a blend of all natural minerals. It is not-toxic, non-hazardous, non-caustic, and biodegradable. It can be safely used around pets and children and can even be eaten with no harm.
Many of the odor and pollution control products on the market today act merely as masking agents. This means they add chemicals to the air to cover up odors and actually increase the level of indoor pollutants in the process. Clear The Air, on the other hand, truly eliminates odors and cleans the air by adsorbing and neutralizing the odors. Clear The Air products are especially beneficial to those who suffer from chemical sensitivity which can be aggravated by fragrances.
Clear The Air is used to eliminate odors by simply sprinkling the granules on or near the soiled areas, or hanging an Earth Care Odor Remover Bag in the room with odors. This unique form of Earth Care Products Mineral does not have to come into contact with the odor producer; it will pull the odors from the entire area. Clear The Air draws in odors like a powerful magnet and the odors are absorbed, and neutralized without any fragrances. Clear The Air does not cover up odors; it literally “clears the air” leaving the air fresh and clean.
To dispose of Clear the Air simply add it to your soil, it is an excellent nitrogen soil amendment.

Pet Fostering

If you haven’t already heard of pet fostering or even if you have, it is a great way to provide a temporary home for a pet that is looking for their forever home.  For many dogs and cats that have been in shelters for too long, foster care provides a transitory place to live and a second chance at a new life.

Another reason to foster pets is for kittens or puppies that are still too young to be spayed or neutered and are not ready for adoption quite yet.  Or mother cats and dogs that have nursing litters and need a safe environment while raising their babies.  Fostering is also beneficial for animals being treated for illnesses or injuries that require recovery time.

Some animals also respond poorly when in a shelter environment.  This is called kennel neurosis and over a period of time their behavior can deteriorate causing them to be un-adoptable often leading to euthanasia.  Sharing the home of a foster parent can relieve kennel neurosis and turn their lives around.

All you need to be a foster parent to a pet is a loving compassionate heart, some available time and maybe a little extra space in your home.  If you have considered getting a pet for some time and are not sure about making the commitment, fostering a pet can be a perfect situation for you.  There are many classes and programs offered to new foster parents through your local humane society.

Remember, Earth Care is donating a $1 to the San Diego Humane Society for every new Facebook Fan we get during the month of January.  What an easy way to give to animals looking for a forever home!  Like us on Facebook!

No THANK YOU! This stuff is amazing! It saved me a bundle by not having to replace the basement carpet because of the strong “doggie” odor. Now it’s like there never was a dog in my new home. Thanks so much for making this available. I’ve already recommended it to several friends.
