Natural Enzyme Stain and Odor Remover

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

Getting rid of stains and odors from pet accidents can be challenging. There are some great natural and environmentally friendly remedies out there but tough stains need more than vinegar or baking soda. This natural enzyme odor eliminator really does get rid of the problem, as the enzymes digest the proteins that create the odor as well as remove the stains. It can be used for pet stains as well as any other biological stains on carpets, soft furnishings, floors and even mattresses. Most of the user reviews found that this product worked well, as long as it was given enough time to work and not just washed straight off again.

Non-Toxic Flea Treatment For Your Home

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Fleas can drive a pet owner to distraction. It’s not just your pet scratching. An infestation can quickly get to the point when the fleas are hopping on you too. But apart from using toxic chemicals in sprays and foggers, what can you do to get rid of the flea problem in your home? There are various natural alternatives to poisonous pesticides, some of which are more effective than others.

This Fleabusters treatment is based on borate powder, which dehydrates the fleas and larva, killing them without any chemicals. It has to be dusted and brushed into all the floor areas of your home, which can be a bit of a laborious process, and dusty too, but once you’ve applied it, the powder will carry on working for at least a year, preventing re-infestation.

It usually takes a few days to a couple of weeks to get rid of the fleas completely, as new eggs will still be hatching out, but the wait is worth it to be flea free in the end! It’s a bit expensive, but the 3lb container will easily treat a three bedroom home completely and shouldn’t need re-application for at least a year. There are many testimonials to its effectiveness from customers, but a very few for whom it didn’t work. If you are being driven crazy by fleas, this would be the first natural solution to turn to.

Fleabusters Rx for Fleas Plus Costs $39.99 From Only Natural Pet Store

This pheromone collar mimics the pheromone produced by the mother to calm her pups or kittens.Your pet can wear the collar all the time or just when a stressful situation is anticipated. Whether it works or not depends on the animal and on the reasons for the behavior, but the collar is fairly cheap, lasts for a month and is worth a try if you think your pet just needs a little soothing to deal with the stress in his or her life!
