Wooden Pet Pen

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

If you have to keep your pet in a pen at times, then this is a good quality natural wood option. Those times when you have to leave a puppy at home, you no longer need worry about chewed furniture and damaged rugs. This pen is good looking enough to have a place in the family room and comfortable enough to feel like home for your pet, so that it will feel secure. It’s easy enough to assemble and quite sturdy with a quality wooden frame and black metal wire. It’s fairly pricey but worth it if you want a pen that can be used as part of the furniture in the home rather than being banished into a back room where your pet will feel lonely and out of it..

Costs $249.99 at Amazon.com

Natural Flea and Tick Collars

Thursday, November 25th, 2010


Fleas and ticks can make spring and summer a misery for pets and pet owners alike. You have to do something about them otherwise your house will become infested and your pet will never stop scratching, but spending a fortune on poisonous tick and flea products that don’t always work goes against the grain. And what do you do if your pet reacts badly to the chemicals in the product with a skin rash or worse? These natural cotton collars come with a herbal insect repellent that keeps fleas, ticks and other insects away from your pet. The active ingredients are citronella, lemongrass, cedar, rosemary oils in a sesame oil carrier. The oils smell quite strong when first applied and can be quite messy to reapply, but this system generally seems to be effective and has the bonus of being completely natural. Comes in sizes for both cats and dogs.

Easy Raw Food Diet For Pets

Saturday, November 20th, 2010

Raw food is supposed to be the best for pets, being closer to their natural diet, but for pet owners this can be complicated and messy to provide. These ready-prepared and frozen raw foods are carefully put together for a balanced raw diet and frozen in either 1oz medallions, 8oz patties or 2lb chubs for convenient serving sizes. Some of the benefits of a raw food diet are better coat condition and general health, and reduced backyard clear-up, as most of the food is digested and there are no grain fillers. The meats are free-range or organic, and all are antibiotic and hormone free. 95% of the diet is made up of quality meat, bones and organs and the final 5% contains organic sprouts, fruits vegetables and salmon oil for a complete balanced diet. The foods are shipped frozen, so express delivery is recommended.

Costs from $6.49 at Only Natural Pet Store.
