Dry, itchy skin can leave your dog feeling miserable and you going crazy over your dogs incessant scratching. All this scratching can be unbearable to watch and give you the itches. Well we are here to remedy the situation. Here are some easy, safe and natural remedies to soothe dry, itchy skin and give your dog some relief.

1. Vinegar & Water. Calm the itch by wetting the area with a solution of half vinegar and half cold water.

2. Oatmeal. Another remedy is to put a half cup of oatmeal in a quart of water, bring to a boil, strain, and let it cool to room temperature. Pat the mixture on the itchy spots.

3. Olive Oil & Lavender. Mix one half cup of  olive oil with one half teaspoon of lavender essential oil. Dip a cotton ball in the oil mixture and rub on the itchy areas.

4. Fish Oil. Apply fish oil directly to the skin and coat; or put a bit of the oil in your dog's food once or twice a week or give as a fish oil capsule. Consult vet for proper dosage.

5. Aloe Vera. Aloe vera soothes and moisturizes dry or itchy skin. Cut open some leaves from an aloe vera plant and strip out the pulp. Gently massage the pulp and juice into your dog's skin.

Consult vet if itching is persistent and does not get any better. This could be a tell tail sign of something more serious.

Aikou Interactive Dog Bowl & Game

For those of you who have pooches who gobble down their food or who just want to have a little fun while they eat, this is for you. Dogs need intellectual stimulation as well as physical activity. The Akiou (pronounced "IQ") Interactive Bowl was developed to meet that need. It gives your dog a chance to solve problems in the form of an interactive game between you and your dog. But besides using the Akiou as an anytime educational and fun activity, you can also use it as a food dish for meals. Because your dog will have to "forage" for his dinner, he will be eating his more slowly. This is a great way to slow down dogs that inhale their food.

The Akiou bowl has four double compartments, each with a sliding door that moves back and forth, and six compartments with a large spinning door. You hide the food in the compartments and the dog accesses the hidden food by turning the wheel and opening the sliding doors. The spinning door comes off for ease of cleaning.

Note: The Akiou is designed for you and your dog to have fun together. The dog should not be left unsupervised with the bowl.

Get a New Leash on Life with Krebs Recycle!

At Krebs Recycle, they are remaking the way dog leashes are made. Our Krebs Recycle dog leashes are fashioned from durable, pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled nylon climbing rope. In fact, they don't recycle rope, they up-cycle it, which is better than recycling because they use the rope in its original form and extend its life by transforming it into a dog leash. There are no carbon-intensive recycling processes to turn the rope into something else. So you get a great leash, the rope stays out of the landfill, and the environment gets a break.

Choose from the Krebs Reggie 6' Leash & Krebs Ruby 4' Leash
* Made from durable recycled nylon climbing rope
* Rope width falls within 10-10.5 mm range
* Heat-shrink tubing protects hand-sewn knot from weather, wear & tear, and dirt
* Swivel snap for easy connection to leash

Because these leashes are made from recycled climbing rope, no two are alike. You may request in the comments section what main color you prefer, but we can not guarantee specific colors.

Fish Oil for Dogs

Vets originally used fish oil to treat dogs with allergy problems, but more recently they have found it to benefit many different aspects of our canines’ health.  Since our pooches cannot produce the fats contained in these oils themselves, they rely on their diet to supply the needed fats.

Much like it’s benefits for humans, omega 3 oils (fish oil) support heart, vision, and joint health, along with providing important nutrients for proper immune function, and a healthy skin and coat.   The icing on the cake is that… it’s a natural source of all sorts of other vitamins and minerals.

We have seen two forms of fish oil.  One is in pill form that can be taken in a piece of cheese or some peanut butter and the other is in liquid form.   We have found the liquid form is more calorie friendly (those pieces of cheese and peanut butter can add up) and just plain easier to give (putting over their food has worked well for us).

We do recommend that you consult with your veterinarian about specific doses for your pooch, although there are dosing instructions on most bottles.  Some dogs require more than others based on certain conditions.  Stay tuned to our website… we will be adding some very unique salmon treats and jerky’s to the site really soon!

We carry the Plato Salmon Oil for dogs which can be found by clicking the link, however there are many great oils on the market; and the important thing is to make sure to add it to your pups daily regimen!

101 Dog Care Tips - Dog Food and Treats - Tip 5

My Parents always used to say “ You either pay at the doctor, or by eating well”.  The same goes for our pooches.  There are so many options out there for things such as food, supplements, and treats.  There are a few key things that you might want to consider before selecting these for your dogs.

•    The more natural the better.  Food and treats that contain all kinds of ingredients that you can’t pronounce, mean more artificial ingredients.

•    Grains like corn and wheat have shown to cause food allergies for our pooches.  Consider grain choices when buying your food.

•    Food sources that contain the meat rather than the by-products mean a higher quality food

We recommend looking into small companies that make pet food in batches in the United States and are preferably all natural with minimal ingredients.  Feeding raw food is also another great option, as you as the owner has total control over what your pups are eating!  There are now even frozen patties or mixes that make this option even easier to do.  Watch your dog when changing diets to make sure that they are not having bathroom issues, excessive itching, or other symptoms, which could potentially signal an allergy to something in the food.

No body likes having to give their pooches pills.  Fish oil is a great supplement which contributes to both skin and cardiovascular system health.  Salmon oil, in the liquid form can be put in their water or over their food.

When buying your dogs treats, make sure that they are a high quality meat or vegetable product, which are fully digestible.  Many treats out there (including raw hide) are not digestible, which can pose problems if your pooch swallows a piece.

Lastly, always do your homework!  There is a wealth of information on food and treats available on the Internet and in print today.  Look into reviews of the food you are feeding and pay close attention to recalls and customer complaints!  We hope that all pups out there stay happy and healthy!

Best Bully Sticks Newsletter/Sale 

We wanted to point out a few things that we forgot to say in our newsletter earlier this morning.

First, we overlooked that through August 31st, 2008 we will be including a free bottle of Furminator shampoo with every order of a small, medium, and large Furminator.  This will remain the same price and is just a deal that cannot be beat!  Secondly, we wanted to remind everyone to please share the newsletter with their friends and family...especially the ones that don't know about natural dog treats and chews.

As a recap to new customers that did not receive the newsletter.  We introduced Plato Salmon Oil, Piggy Snouts, and are having a huge sale on our small to medium sized bully sticks.  We also talked about our recurring sale on trachea and other items under the "dog treats and chews" section of the website.

Lastly, we rewarded our most recent photo winner "Louie" with a $25 gift certificate for being the photo contest winner for the month of July.  Remember to submit photos of your furkids with or without bully sticks for a chance to win!
