Some of our favorite products

If you have a dog with itchy ears, look for Zymox Otic. Some vets carry it, also, entirleypets.com drugstore.com and amazon.com.

"My labrador's ears are highly prone to infection. I try to "nip it in the bud", but often the infection gets out of control and I must resort to antibiotics. Vet bills mount. Meanwhile the poor dog suffers.

I read about Zymox and was skeptical but decided it couldn't hurt to give it a try. To my amazement, it worked! Barely one week after a bloody mess of an ear, he is completely better. I think Zymox is FASTER than antibiotics! Great product."


We have been trying Plaque Off with fairly good results, again, it can be bought many places online.

For inflamed gums try Maxiguard Oral Gel.


And of course we love Dermagic Products. www.dermagic.com for all kinds of skin irritations.

We use the dilution of five parts of water to one shampoo.
For cleaning the head we use Nature's Miracle Puppy Shampoo, it is NOT made in China!  We found it at Petsmart.
New Product - Elk Velvet
ELK VELVET
ELK VELVET ANTLER SHAMPOO CONCENTRATE
Available in both 16 ounce and 128 ounce sizes.
Elk Velvet is harvested on an Elk farm in Idaho at precisely the optimum stage of velvet antler growth. Elk Velvet contains Growth Hormones, Collagen, Glucosamine Chondroitin and natural Anti-inflammatory properties. Blended into an all natural, Coconut Oil based shampoo concentrate, this product not only gently cleans and conditions the coat, and it acts as a catalyst to deliver the Elk Velvet Antler into the animal’s skin where it can be absorbed. Great for older animals and those with joint problems.
DIRECTIONS:
Dilutes up to 15:1 with warm water. Apply liberally to wet coat, and massage into lather. Let sit for 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water. You may repeat process if necessary.
Testimonial:
From: Certified Master Groomer (37 years experience) Virginia H. Austin, Vir-Del Kennels
When I heard of the Anti-inflammatory properties of this natural shampoo, I wanted to get some for my standard poodle who has a pin in her hip since age 6 months. I have had her on natural glucossamine shark cartilage treats for years, but after her first shampoo and 10 min. soak & massage while soaking, she exhibited an exuberance I had not seen before. She ran around the yard & even “small” jumped around. She is 8 ½ years old, and acts like a puppy. I have used it since on an old German Shepard and older small breeds, and while grooming they seemed to be less sensitive to lifting the back legs for feet & grooming. I will definitely continue this shampoo on my own dogs and shop clients, and put it on my retail shelves so our senior pets as well as joint challenged pets can get some relief to their joints stiffness.




Anyway, this product is not listed on their site, WE LOVE IT! You can get it private label, we ask our adopters to get it, but, it is nowhere to be found unless one wants to order a gallon at a time. They tell me that mostly groomers use it. Toll free 800 752 3241 . l spoke with a guy named John, to find out if it would be worth our time to drive to Rathdrum, it wasn’t. Great product, unique and hard to find, the only place I can find that sells it online is in Canada.

Music for your dog?

YES.


Online, to buy a CD or download.  This one is great for a dog that needs to calm down or rest.
 
 
Another one we play for the dogs when we leave is Happy Music, and they really love it.
 
 
                      We found it on Amazon.com
 
 
 We were buying these beds at Costco, they dogs LOVE them.  We went to by more, and they discontinued them, the good news is, we found the maufacturer, who will sell them for the same price we paid for them before.  About 20 dollars, made in the USA, washable, and comfy.

The ones we use are the 22 inch ones, the middle squishes down and all our dogs totally love them.
