Hairballs are gross, no doubt about it. Want to reduce the frequency of hairballs in your cat? There are many hairball remedies
available including grooming tools such as the FURminator deShedding Tool
.
These Pet Naturals Hairball
chews are not a laxative or lubricant, so no worries about them disrupting normal digestion.
They contain psyllium, which you may recognize as a highly soluble fiber that many people incorporate into their diet. Psyllium acts like a sponge to support removal of toxins and undigested materials as they move through your cat's tract and colon, including ingested hair.

This year could be a doozie when it comes to allergies, if the green pollen "blanket" covering our Super Cool Pets mobile is any indication. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, a must-do remedy is to bathe your pet on a regular basis.
For a routine situation, a mild pet shampoo is most suitable to remove all the allergens that are trapped on your dog or cat's coat. As always, check with your vet for pet-specific recommendations and advice.

Many of us back off from trimming our dog's claws. According to Trimming Dog Nails and Dewclaws | WebMD, most dogs wear down their claws naturally through activity. If not, they can become excessively long, damaging carpets and upholstery, as well as interfering with traction and ability to walk.
Basically there are two types of claw (nail) clippers for dogs -- one has two cutting edges and the other guillotine type has only one. Either type works fine, just groomer preference. Avoid using nail clippers designed for humans because dog's claws are not flat.

Over the winter, we probably don't wash our pets as often as in the balmier weather. And they certainly aren't swimming as much. So their coats can get a little bit ragged and scruffy. Many of us groom our dogs at home, rather than paying for the service.

represents the latest in clipper innovation and technology. This is a 3-speed clipper has a cool running motor with vibration and noise isolators for a comfortable grooming environment for your pet.
The DIY home groomer can utilize its one-hand operation switch for quick and easy selection of any of the speeds. If you are upgrading, this new Oster A6 takes all Oster A5 detachable blades. For more details, click here.

When it rains outside, our birds instinctively lift their wings for a rinse, even though it is still dry inside where they are. They need the gentle rain shower and humidity for healthy feather preening and respiration.

Unrefined coconut oil helps to support and maintain overall health in both humans and dogs, according to Coconut Oil: Miracle in a Jar for Dogs | Petside Why? Coconut oil contains lauric acid, a fatty acid that is also found in mother's milk that prevents infants from getting viral, bacterial and protozoan infections,
Apparently, your dog can reap those same benefits as well. When applied topically coconut oil can:
- Disinfect cuts
- Improve skin and coat condition
- Speed wound healing
- Deodorize
- Clear up rashes
We humans can also use Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
as a cooking oil, a good butter substitute or as a body oil. No refrigeration required.

Now that we are in the dog days of summer, could your pet possibly get a sunburn? We all slather on the lotion, but many of our pets are also subjected to the strong sun.
Basically any dog with shaved, short and/or thin hair, white and light hair, white and pink skin should be protected with Epi-Pet Sun Protector Sunscreen Spray
. It is the only F.D.A. compliant sunscreen for dogs and horses and is waterproof, but not greasy, with a nice vanilla scent.
It should also be considered for dogs who go boating, swimming and hanging out at the beach or pool, at the dog park, and other dogs who spent a lot of time in the sun.
If your pet has allergic and inflamed skin, please check with your veterinarian. This product should NOT be used on cats.
