Are you thinking about making a huge splash this summer? Summer time means cooling off in the pool, at the lake or near the sea shore. While it’s a lot of fun to splash around with your pet, it can also prove dangerous. So before you and your dog dive into the deep end to doggie paddle. Here are a few precautionary swimming pet safety tips:

1. Never leave pets unattended around a pool.

2. Fence your pool with a secure gate, and never leave your dog inside the fenced pool area unsupervised.

3. Make sure pets can get out of the pool. If dogs jumps or fall in and don’t know how to get out without help, they may panic and drown.

4. Just because it's called the doggie paddle does not mean your dog is an expert. Not all pets are excellent swimmers, so if water is a big part of your family life, introduce pets to water gradually.

5. On boats, make sure pets wear flotation devices (available at most boating stores), and consult your veterinarian if you think your pet needs seasickness medication.

6. Try not to let pets drink pool water. Chlorine and chemicals used to keep pools free of algae and contaminants can cause pet health problems, such as dry mouth or gastric distress.

7. Try not to let pets drink pond, puddle or lake water, a common source of the Giardia parasite. Giardia is not life threatening, but it causes diarrhea and there is a small possibility that it could be passed to other members of the family.

8. Don’t allow pets to wander river and lake shores alone, where they may find and eat dead fish (smelly, but tasty!). If eaten, your pet may develop serious stomach or intestinal upset.

Nourish As Nature Intended With Orijen Dog Food !

Dogs and cats evolved as hunters — the structure of their teeth, jaws and digestive system scientifically classifies them as carnivores, adapted to a meat-based diet that’s rich in animal protein and fat.

Yet witness the current trend of ‘holistic’ pet foods that are largely grain-based, contain little meat or protein, exceed 40% carbohydrates, and feature fashionable ingredients — more often for their consumer appeal than for any nutritional benefit to dogs or cats.

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE ORIJEN IS UNIQUELY DIFFERENT FROM TODAY’S CONVENTIONAL DRY DOG AND CAT FOODS

Protein-rich, carbohydrate-limited and grain-free, ORIJEN features the highest fresh meat inclusions of any dry dog or cat food, at the same time excluding many conventional pet food ingredients — such as inappropriate high-glycemic cereal grains and vegetable proteins that simply are not present in the natural diet.

To mirror the natural diet, ORIJEN also features a diversity of meats including fresh, free-run chicken and turkey, fresh whole eggs, fresh free-range red meats and fresh saltwater and freshwater fish — all in a Biologically Appropriate ratio of 80 percent meat, 20 percent fruits and vegetables, and zero grain (80.20.0).

By mirroring the foods that dogs and cats evolved to eat, Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN nourishes as Mother Nature intended, resulting in the peak health and happiness of your cherished dog or cat, as well as your peace of mind.

Gesundheit! Spring time has sprung and so has seasonal allergies. If you are a pet owner and allergy sufferer then you understand firsthand that dealing with seasonal and pet allergies simultaneously is no walk in the dog park. However, many pet owners suffering from non-life threatening allergies would rather live with minor sneezing & sniffles then live without their beloved pet. That is why it is no surprise that for many allergic animal lovers getting rid of their furry companion is out of the question. For some the benefits of pet ownership outweighs the drawbacks of suffering from pet allergies and plowing through a jumbo pack of Kleenex each day. Love your pet but sick of sneezing & watery eyes? No need to shed anymore of those allergy tears or pack your pet's bag. Here are some quick and simple tips to make living with seasonal and pet allergies more bearable & less miserable for you. Fido and Felix you can thank us later!

1. Bathe Your Pet. Tame dander allergens by bathing pets, removing the allergens that accumulate in fur. Be careful not to bathe too often, as frequent bathing can dry out your pet's coat. Ask your vet or groomer for the safest products for your specific pet.

2. Create "Allergy free No-Pet" Zones. If you do have pet allergies, keep pets out of at least one room, preferably the bedroom. It is a waste of time to hang a "No Pets Allowed" sign on your bedroom door, since your pet can't read. Keeping your pet out of your bedroom is gonna require some strong persuasion and training, it's time to call in reinforcements, delicious treats. When you are not at home make sure to close doors of rooms you do not want your pet entering. Also, hypoallergenic fabrics and materials and high-efficiency HEPA allergen-removing air cleaner in your "no-pet zone."

3. Clean Your Home. Vacuum frequently by using a vacuum equipped with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate arresting) filter or a disposable electrostatic bag. Remember to also regularly steam-clean all in-house fabrics, including curtains, upholstery and rugs. Avoid dust-and-dander-catching furnishings such as cloth curtains and blinds and carpeted floors. Clean frequently and thoroughly to remove dust and dander, washing articles such as couch covers and pillows, curtains, and pet beds. And clean the dreaded kitty litter. You may also want to consider getting rid of carpet which traps large amounts of allergens.  Instead replace the majority of your floor surfaces with mop-able hardwood floors, tiles, or even linoleum, the better off you’ll be.

4. Consider Hypoallergenic Dogs. If you are craving pet companionship but suffer from pet allergies no worries. Hypoallergenic dogs, especially the smaller ones, usually don't shed or produce as much dander and have a different pH level in their hair, making these pets more habitable with allergic parents.
