Simple Alternative For The Dog Collar!

                          Homemade Alternative To The Dog Collar! 

Has your dog had surgery? How about stitches on a certain part
of his or her body?
Well, the doctor will usually place a cone, aka an "Elizabethan collar"
on your dog to stop him (or her) from biting the wound or the stitches. 
But, what if you or your dog doesn't want the collar or cone around their
neck? 
Try the low-cost tip from a woman who had this same problem. 
The tip:
Take a small (child size) sweatshirt and cut off the hood and sleeves, 
slip it on your pet, zip it up and sit back and relax.
And when you want to change the bandage or check on the wound, 
just unzip the sweatshirt and check it.

That's it- a simple, low-cost and more appealing alternative
to the cone aka the Elizabethan collar.

Good Luck!

Sleeping Rx For Cats!

              Cats and Sleep! 

The sight of a cat in your bed snuggling up with you may
look like a picture-perfect postcard, but it can be dangerous.
To get your cat or kitty to sleep in his or her own bed, do
the following...

About 20 to 30 mins. before bed-
Place a towel (an old clean towel you no longer use) in the dryer
for a few mins. then wrap the towel around your body
(or lie on it) for a few mins, more. 
Remove the towel from the dryer and place it on the floor
or special bed where your cat sleeps, and gently maneuver
the cat to that spot.

Detecting your scent and the warmth of the towel,
will allow both your cat and you to get a peaceful, 
uninterrupted night of sleep.

Good Luck!

Uh oh- it's that time of year again...you know Christmas and all of the
decorations that goes with it. If you're one to put up a tree and lights and
you own pets, then you have to be very careful. 

Dogs and cats like children, are low to the ground and love to explore.
Exploring the cords and wires is big to mischievous cats and dogs
right about now, but this year you'll be prepared.

goodies from mom or grandmom, can now protect your cords and wires.

and at that point, you can remove the bubble wrap. 

So, if you were dreading the holidays and the decorations
because of your pets, rejoice and give thanks to Bubble wrap.
And one more tip: Do not put aluminum foil around cords and wires,

Simple Rx To Slow Down A Fast Eater!

                       Slow Down Your Doggy! 

Is your dog a speed eater? Dogs eat quickly for a number of reasons, like...
stress, competition (if you have more than one dog) the times they have to wait
for a meal or the fear that it may be his or her last meal.
To slow him or her down- do the following...

Instead of putting their food in the center, press the wet food up and around
the sides. This forces them to eat more slowly, preventing problems
like intestinal upsets (you know gas).
That's it- and if you feed your dog dry food, this tip may not work.

Food Rx To Stop Feline Breath!

                  Stop Kitty's Bad Breath! 

Dogs are like humans, they pass gas, their stomachs make rumbling
noises and sometimes their breath is worse than a sewer.
But what about cats? Yes, cats also have bad breath and the fix is
as simple as going to your produce store.
The fix: Cucumbers!

That's right- the salad ingedient can help your feline friend get over
his or her case of bad breath.
The vegetable is rich in compounds that kill odor-causing bacteria
in  their mouth. Plus, cats love the crunchy texture and the amount of water
in the food. Give them a thin slice and see if they'll take it, if not you
may have to cut a thin slice or two and mix it into their regular food.

Add a few more slices as the weeks pass, but no more than 4 slices.
Do the cucumbers about 2 to 3 times a week and see if it makes a difference.

Good Luck!

Natural Food Rx For Gassy Dogs!

                          Stop The Gas Attacks!
Has your dog been creating a stink around the house?
Well, dogs get gas just like humans and the cause of their gas may
be due to a sluggish digestive tract.
To fix this problem, buy some plain yogurt and mix it into (a tbsp. or two)
his or her bowl of food. Do this once a day and see if the yogurt
stops it.

Why yogurt? It contains probiotic bacteria that boosts the body's
production of digestive enzymes that help prevent excess gas, so your 
furry companion will get some-much-needed relief and you and your family
can get a chance to exhale and let your breath out.

And if you have a cat with the same problem, give him or her
a tbsp. of plain yogurt in their food.

You brush their teeth, you give them chew toys and yet, the
stinky breath continues.
Unlike humans, our dogs must rely on us to help them control

buy some sage- fresh, place in a metal bowl or pot,
pour a cup or two of boiling water on top.
Leave it alone for 10 to 15 mins. and then pour the water into a

water, give them some sage water. Or if you buy dry food,
just add a little sage water to their dry food.

Sage has the ability to knockout the bad bacteria that's causing the foul odors.
And one more tip: Sage is also rumored to help preserve and build memory.
A smarter dog is always good, so make sure they really drink the sage
water now.

Calming Rxs For Your Dog!

                             Calm Your Dog This Fourth of July! 

The Fourth of July is days away, and that means grilling, lemonade,
swimming, sunning and fireworks.
Your kids may love the fireworks, but your dogs absolutely hate them.
Due to their highly sensitive hearing, many dogs tremble and quiver
at the first round of the fireworks.
If this is your dog, and you want to put an end to it,
use the calming technique that's been around for centuries. 
The calming technique: Acupressure.

Used in Asian countries
for hundreds of yrs. massaging certain pressure points can
work on dogs just as well as they do on humans.
To calm a dog this Fourth...Use your thumb and forefinger to gently
stroke his ear from base to to tip for 30 secs. then switch sides and
do the same thing. Massaging the ears stimulates sensitive nerve endings
that trigger the release of feel-good, anxiety-easing endorphins.

And if your dog won't sit still long enough for the ear massage, 
play some relaxing classical music. It also helps calm your dog down.
A relaxing ear massage and some classical music, now that's a good
time.

Seattle's Rx To Protecting Your Dog!

                         Dogs and The Rain! 

People who live in Seattle and Portland must deal with a lot of rain,
and if they're dog owners, their dogs also have to deal with it.
Dogs deal with rain?

Yes, and we're not talking about getting wet.
We're talking about the sound. Since dogs have ten Xs the hearing ability
than humans, the sound of rain can be downright uncomfortable and
even unbearable.

So, if you're from the Pacific Northwest or if you live in Arizona,
and you want to protect your dog from the rain, look for a product
called "Canine Rescue Remedy!"

gets anxious and restless during the 4th of July, this product might
also work to calm them down. Find the spray at Pet stores.

And one more tip: Watch your dogs after a storm, why?
They tend to get lost more. After a rainstorm, and heading outdoors,
dogs can't pick up scents as easily, so they run off, and can't find their
way back home.

Puppy Bowl Rxs For Better Health!

                            Watch The Puppy Bowl!
Today is Superbowl Sunday, and millions of people will be watching it.
But, what about those people who aren't interested in football.
Well, if you're a pet lover and a lover of sports, the Animal Planet
network has you in mind.

That's right, the "Puppy bowl" started about 8 yrs. on the Animal
planet channel, and now it's a wildly popular and successful extravaganza
that shows puppies participating in their own Superbowl.
If you think the show is just puppies frolicing and wasting time,
your wrong. How wrong?

Watching puppies, kittens or even fish in a tank has the ability
to improve your health in a number of ways like...
a) Reduce blood pressure.
b) Calm you down- Angry about something? Watch puppies play.
c) Boost moods. Down, depressed? watch kittens having fun and see how quickly
your mood changes...for the better.
d) Build Immune levels. With cold season in full swing, build up immunity
by owning and watching pets frolic.
e) Bounce Back- From a dissapointing situation.
How? Say you don't receive an invite to a co-workers party or wedding,
and now you're feeling rejected. Head home and pet. play with or watch your
cats, dogs or fish and watch the anger and hurt dissipate.
Psychologists have discovered that just thinking of a beloved pet
eases your feelings of rejections after a social rebuff as effectively as
talking to a family member or best friend. And this may explain why pet owners
say they feel good about themselves and are gnerally healthier and happier than
their non-pet owning or pet-hating counterparts.

So, there you have it, there's a lot of benefit to watching 8 hrs. of "Puppy Bowl!"
And one more thing: Almost all of the dogs used in today's Puppy Bowl-
are up for adoption.
Enjoy!

for your dog(s)?
Do these lotions, potions and vitamins promise to make your dog's coat

Easy Rx For bathing A Cat!

                          Cat Baths Made Easy!
Bathing a cat is one of those things you really want to avoid, like
cleaning the gutters or balancing a checkbook or doing taxes.
Unfortunately, it has to be done.

Here's a trick from a Veternarian that might make it easier.
The trick:
Put an old towel on the bottom of the tub, add some water,
then set Kitty down on the towel. Bathing the cat this way,
prevents his or her paws from touching the cold slippery surface
of the tub and they'll be able to dig into the towel and hopefully,
release some stress and tension. And with his or her paws occupied,
you can safely and easily get the job done.

Hey, this sounds good for dogs as well, hope it helps!

Pet Rxs Just For Seniors!

                      Senior Citizens and Pets!
Senior citizens who care for a pet benefit greatly-health-wise.
Benefits like lower blood pressure, less lonliness, less risk
of getting a cold and stronger immunity.

Now for the downside: Increased Chances For A Fall!
That's right- according to new research, of the more than 90,000
falls treated last yr. about 3/4 of them involved a pet.
Your Mom gets up in the middle of night and doesn't see her cat,
Dad runs in from outside to take a call, and his dog runs with him
thinking it's play time and voila- he falls.
And one of the biggest hazards: A sleeping Pet!
Since they're silent and motionless, Mom, Dad,
or Auntie may not see them underfoot.

So, what do you do to help lower these numbers? A few things like...
a) Set up a pet bed away from high-traffic areas.
b) Place a bell around his or her neck (the pet's) to let your elderly
family member know where they are at all times.
c) Or send your dog to obedience school and train him or her
to walk alongside (and not under) their owner.
And sorry-this won't work on cats. (the obedience tip).

That's it- A few tips for an elderly family member and their pet.

Good Luck!

in them? You know, the stuff you or your kids love to snap, crackle
and pop?

bubble wrap and one of those things involves your pets.

And when your dog is finished, take up the bubble wrap and when your pet
is ready to eat again,  just put down a new clean piece of bubble wrap.

Tyra Bank's Favorite Moisturizer For Your Pooch!

                          Healing With Petroleum Jelly!
If you read our post about Tyra Banks' favorite way to keep her
skin youthful, then you know it's Petroleum Jelly!
(Read it at RedCarpetRxs.blogspot.com)

Well now, America's oldest and cheapest moisturizer can help your
pooch, how? By healing his or her damaged paws that take a beating
in the Winter and Summer.
Cracked paws due to overuse can be quite painful, but thanks to
vaseline-he or she may not have to suffer any longer.

For quick relief, apply a small amount to each paw, then use your
fingertips to gently massage the vaseline into the pads.
Thanks to the mineral oil and paraffin in the vaseline, your pooch's
paws will be lubricated and start healing from all of the walking and
running that they do.

Repeat once a week to keep their paws well moisturized.
Another tip: After applying the vaseline, I'd confine him or her
to their "special area" so they won't get vaseline all over the rest
of the house.

Good Luck!

A Natural Rx For A Wandering Dog!

                          Getting Back Your Wandering Pooch!
You bring your dog to the local park and take his or her leash off and
in no time- your dog is running away, far away from you. You call and call-
but he or she isn't hearing it, Ah- what do you do?

Well, don't kill him or her, do this instead...
Call him or her and start running in the opposite direction,
your dog should chase after you, thinking you're playing a game.
When he or she does get close enough, give them a treat, ( a biscuit,
a piece of beef jerky or half a rice cake) . And when they take the treat,
put the leash back on. 

After this, you may want to walk him or her first and tire them out and then
taket he leash off, or get a longer leash and maintain control throughout the visit
to the park.

Good Luck!

A Slimming Snack For A Paunchy Pooch!

                           Natural Treat For Your Dog!
Is your dog carrying a few extra pounds? Does he or she love table scraps?
Well, human food can also give them human weight problems, but there's a
solution. The solution is a snack many American women eat to stop their
mindless snacking and to lose weight as well.
The Snack: Rice Cakes!
That's right- that bland tasting snack favorite can help Fido or
Fifi, just like it helps women.
Dogs love the crunch and the flavor, plus it's available right
at the Supermarket.
And one more tip-- don't add peanut butter or bacon grease to them,
you'll just make losing weight even more difficult.

So, if your pooch wants that high fat dog biscuit or fat from the
steak, say oh-no and bring out the rice cakes.

Good Luck!

Curing The Hair Balls!

                           Curing Kitty's Hairballs!
Ah hair balls, a problem cat owners everywhere obsess about.
If you're dealing with this very problem...
look below and try the natural solution

The Cure:
Add a tsp. of vegetable oil to their food once a week.
The vegetable oil will lubricate his or her digestive tract,
making it easier for your kitty to pass the hair, instead of
ingesting and coughing it up later as hair balls.

And don't worry, vegetable oil is tasteless and won't harm their
stomachs like extra virgin olive or coconut oil might.

Good Luck!

Traveling Rx For Cats!

                         Easy Solution For Cats and Their Carriers!
Tired of struggling with your cat and their carrier.
Not anymore, try this..

Turn the crate onto its back end (so the open door faces up),
then grab your cat by the scruff of their neck, holding her hind
legs with your other hand, and carefully lower her or him into the
carrier, legs first.

Why this method? It prevents them from seeing the crate's opening,
and saves you from a long struggle. Once they're inside,
quickly latch the door, and carefully turn the crate upright
and go about your business.

That's it- a simple solution for a sometimes time consuming and
troublesome chore.

Good Luck!

Curing An Upset Stomach!

                       Curing Doggy's Stomach Woes!
If your beloved pooch has ever had stomach problems, then you know
all about the heartache... What is It? Is it something more serious?
How much will the vet bill be? Why does he or she have diarrhea?
On and On.

But wait, there's something out there that may bring blessed relief
and it won't cost you a small fortune.
That something: Potatoes!
That's right- the low cost tuber may work better than a lot of
drugs your vet might prescribe.
Why potatoes?
They contain stool-solidifying starches.

So, head to the pantry and get a potato,  a large one and boil it,
 until slightly soft , (leave it plain and cut it up)
and give your dog a small amount. Give larger dogs
a serving of potaotes- 3 to 4 times a day,
and smaller dogs should get about 2 to 3 servings per day.
You may want to check with your Vet on the exact amount.

And when you see that your dog is healthy again,
give him or her, their regular food.

Good Luck!
