In honor of May being National Pet Month, I’ve found some cool eco friendly products to make your life, and the lives of your beloved pets that much better. But first, let’s play a little trivia to see how much you really know about your furry friends.
1) True or False? Dogs are nocturnal animals
True! Dogs are naturally nocturnal, although pet dogs have adapted to human behavior and now sleep more at night.
2) Why are rabbit’s ears long?
To keep them cool. The ears catch the breeze and cool the body through tiny blood vessels.
3) What is the largest breed of domesticated cats?
Maine Coon. The Maine Coon can weigh as much as 45 lbs!
4) Which animal can get sunburn?
A pig.
5) Which animal can go longer than a camel without water?
A rat because a rat cannot vomit.
Pretty cool, right? It’s amazing how little we know about the creatures around us. But what we do see, I think it’s pretty safe to say we fall in love with, and that’s precisely why we’re celebrating their loyalty and affection by dedicating an entire month to pets. Hooray!
Dirty & Hairy Repel Natural Pet Conditioner with Citronella
So does your dog like to root through debris, frolic in ditches and run through the mud? If so, have I found the product for you! Dirty & Hairy Repel Natural Pet Conditioner with Citronella is a fresh-smelling conditioner that leaves the coat shiny and soft while repelling bugs, ticks and fleas without the use of nasty pyrethrin-based pesticides. Without the harsh detergents or artificial colors, your dogs will repel bugs and fleas naturally. As an added bonus, the natural, human-grade ingredients are safe for people, puppies and other pets. So go for it! Let Fido root through debris, frolic in ditches and run through the mud… but at least this time you’ll know he’s being protected.
Earth Bath Hypo-Allergenic Grooming Wipes
So now that I just advised you to let your dog get a little crazy, I would be lying if I said it wouldn’t get messy. But not to worry! Earth Bath Hypo-Allergenic Grooming Wipes are just the thing for touch-up, or as a bath alternative when time is of the essence. For an instant freshness between grooming sessions or even just to wipe off paws or footpads after a walk, these handy wipes will do the trick. They can safely be used daily on all animals over 6 weeks old. Also, every product Earth Bath makes is 100% biodegradable, free of phosphates and enzymes and are 100% animal cruelty-free. So rather than carry an extra stainless steel bottle with water for your pooch, go green! And give them the better alternative.
Oxbow BeneTerra Organic Rabbit Food
But don’t forget about your outdoor pets/animals. For your furry little friend the rabbit, I’ve found the Oxbow BeneTerra Organic Rabbit Food. Oxbow rabbit food is specially formulated to mirror the nutrition a rabbit would find in its natural environment. Fortified with essential vitamins and chelated minerals, it contains a wholesome combination of organic ingredients, including high-fiber grass hay and essential nutrients to nourish your rabbit just the way nature intended.
Sojos Certified Organic Catnip
As for our little feline companion, Sojos Certified Organic Catnip has the critiques raving. This 100 percent certified organic catnip is grown in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Inducing a harmless euphoric state in cats, the cap nip lasts 5 to 15 minutes and is a fantastic treat for cats of all ages. Use the product up to twice a week by simply sprinkling a small pinch for your cat to play with and smell. For such a special occasion, your cat is worth it!
Our pets won’t be around forever so take the time this May to show them how much you really care.
