With a little help from my owner, I’ve opened a little store so you can shop for things JUST for your Yorkie or Yorkies, or things for Yorkshire Terriers and other small dogs. You’ll find just about anything you need and more, even things that you can give to people who love yorkies.
The weather has been warm, and I’ve been hot with all the hair that I have that kept me warm during the winter, so it’s time to be groomed…my owner does the grooming herself, and does a pretty good job….I don’t like it very much, but feel a lot better when she’s done.
If you want to know how to groom your dog, we recommend that you visit the banner below this post with the cute picture of the Yorkshire Terrier on it about grooming, and visit some of our other pages about grooming by clicking on the “grooming” category in the list in the right margin.
We hope you are looking forward to getting outdoors with your dogs now that the warmer weather is coming to colder parts of the country. Don’t forget to get us ready for fleas and ticks, too…we have a category about that in the list to the right too.
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is putting restrictions on certain flea and tick products because of illnesses and deaths that have resulted from using them. Among the things that happened to pets were seizures, serious skin reactions, deaths and more. Here is a bullet-point list of some key facts we heard in a news report today:
44,000 adverse reactions attributed to collars and topical preparations
600 of these reactions lead to death
Affects cats more than dogs, small dogs more than big
EPA wants clearer labeling
Want owners to read instructions carefully, many reactions are due to owner’s carelessness, for example putting dosages meant for large dogs on small dogs, or not putting where you should on the pets body.
When using a topical application, check the area after you apply, skin reaction can appear like a chemical burn which can become infected.
Why aren’t they taking the products off the market? Because it’s even riskier if pets get fleas or ticks to both pets and humans
I really hate bath time…it’s easy to tell when I’m going to have a bath because my owner does the same routine each time, empties the sink, gets my dog shampoo out from under the sink, then goes to the closet to get a towel to put on the counter. I’m small so fit in the kitchen sink. By the time she’s done doing all of that, I am usually cowering in the corner of the couch, or hiding under her bed.
I know it’s silly, because my skin gets itchy and oily, and after she is done with the bath, I feel really good. I am not sure whether to be nervous or happy, because today she wants to tell you about a dog shampoo that is soothing to dog skin, and even has something in it that helps to repel fleas. If this is true, then even I might like to take a bath.
Even though I get treated each month for fleas, sometimes I get a bite anyway, and since I’m allergic to the bites, this leads to a skin reaction, and my skin gets really itchy. Dinovite has a shampoo that is soothing to the skin, cleans you real well, rinses away easily, has natural therapeutic-grade essential oils that have natural, healing properties which would be great if I get bit by a flea or two again this summer…and maybe it will even stop me from getting bitten because it contains that NATURAL FLEA DETERRENT I mentioned earlier.
So if your looking for a nice shampoo for your big or little dog, please visit the links above or below so you can see more about what we’ve been talking about.
Hope you had a happy 4th of July, and that your pooch survived the fireworks!
Just this week my owner gave me my first flea treatment of the season, something that is pretty important because not only do fleas love me, but they cause a terrible allergic reaction, and some of them carry a disease called Lymes Disease.
My owners are dreading another kind of bug that likes to bite them just as much as fleas like to bite me. One of my owners gets bit more than the other. We used to call him a “mosquito magnet” until we found out that there is a REAL Mosquito Magnet. It is the first devise of it’s kind, and has a special attractant that mosquitoes love, so they will go to the mosquito magnet and leave you, your family and your guests alone.
You will have to stop by and read a mosquito magnet review or two, and while you’re at the site, you’re going to want to look at the video and click on the link that gives you details about the Mosquito Magnet.
Like dogs can get Lyme’s Disease from ticks, people can get diseases from mosquitoes, like West Nile virus. My owners and the family like to spend their time out on the deck in the summer, and it doesn’t take long for one of them to start getting bitten and go in the house, so they will be taking a closer look at this interesting mosquito trap, maybe you will want to too.
