These products and tips can make living with the furry members of your family a little easier.
Brown Spots
Brown spots in the lawn are caused by the chemical balance of dog urine, which burns the grass. Water is the best thing to rid the lawn of brown spots, so you can start greening our lawn by sprinkling often. For really stubborn spots, try Dogonit Original Lawn Repair. you simply spray it on the brown patches and then flush with water. Repeat this process for about a week for grass to grow back.
Wet Dogs
When you bathe your dog or if he comes in from the rain, use a ShamWow! instead of an ordinary towel to dry him off. A ShamWow! is a super-absorbent towel that is machine washable and bleachable. The large size is perfect for bath time and the smaller towels work well for wiping paws after a romp in the backyard.
Litter Box Odors
Rid your home forever of litter box odors with FreshWave Odor Neutralizing Super Gel. It is a natural, odor-neutralizing solution that is safe to use around people and pets. There are no heavy fragrances that only mask odors and no harsh chemicals or harmful VOCs. Instead, it is made with five essential oils--pine needle, lime aniseed, clove and cedar wood--to neutralize the odor, so you only see, not smell, your pet.
Floor Scratches
In between visits to the groomer, keep your pet's nails trim with PediPaws so they don't scratch your floors or pull snags in your carpet or furniture. As seen on TV, this nail file lets you trim your pet's nails without hurting your pet or cutting into the nail quick. Be patient; it may take a few tries to get your pet used to the sound and sensation of the filer.
Pet Hair
If pet hair is a problem, try the Bissel Pet Hair Eraser Vacuum. Designed specifically for homes with pets, it comes with all the attachments to rid stair treads and furniture of hair while capturing any hair on carpet or hard flooring surfaces. It has strong suction, with two times the cyclonic action of other vacuums and has a built-in HEPA media filter.
Control Shedding
To help keep up with your pet's shedding, we recommend the Furminator. It quickly and easily removes your pet's undercoat and loose hair without damaging this topcoat and can reduce shedding up to 90 percent. We highly recommend that you "furminate" your pet outside or in your garage as you may accumulate quite a bit of hair.
Boredom & Destruction
If your dog chews on shoes or furniture, it may mean he is bored. The Kong is made of durable rubber and its hollow center can be filled with treats such as peanut butter. It creates a physical and intelectual challenge for your dog to "work" for his meal. This distraction can temporarily ward off behavioral problems.
