TIP OF THE MONTH

Don’t Lose Your Pets to Drowning!

The summer weather and scorching heat here in the desert is upon us, and so are those refreshing and beautiful swimming pools.  For all animal safety, please ensure that pools are safe and enclosed OR have easy access for pet escape routes out of the water.  If you have a pool, one of the first things you should teach your beloved pooch is how to get out of the water.  From all areas of the pool, make sure that he knows where the stairs are or where your scamper-ramp is!  The scamper-ramp is a lightweight, durable system that enables any animal (dog, cat, frog, etc.) to escape unharmed, just wet.  For all animal safety, please don’t lose your pets to drowning!

For further information on the Skamper-Ramp, visit www.skamper-ramp.com or call 877-POOLPET.  Thank you.


Flint River Ranch super premium pet food

My 3 cats and dog absolutely LOVE the Flint River Ranch kibble!   I've introduced this food to many of my client's pets and so far, all of my furry friends are really enjoying it, as well as pet parents' are seeing the difference a quality premium food makes!  So, now I'm a Flint River Ranch distributor because I believe in their product and want to share it with everybody. 
 
Look over your current pet food!  Smell it!  Taste it!  How does it feel?  Would you eat it?  If not, why would you feed it to your pet?  

Flint River Ranch has no chemical preservatives, no ethoxyquin, BHA, or BHT (chemical additives used as preservatives), and no by-products (parts of the animal not fit for human consumption like intestines, chicken heads, feather and bone), or fillers.  Many pet foods contain these fillers that have no nutritional value.  These may be associated with dry skin, allergic reactions, dental disease, poor health etc.  FRR is made and shipped fresh.  Concentrated.  Costs less to feed.  Recommended by Vets and Breeders.  Sold nationally.  Delivered by UPS to your home.  No more special trips or carrying heavy bags. 
 
FRR is an oven-baked kibble resulting in better nutrition, palatability and digestibility.  Oven baking changes hard to digest starches into easy to digest dextrins which are readily absorbed into your dog or cat's system.  Good value is baked in, not sprayed on.   A 'no risk' guarantee - within 30 days your pet will have eating enjoyment, greater energy level, improvement in coat and hair, a reduction in 'hot spots', dry skin and itching - smaller stool volume with less clean up. 
 
If you would like additional information or would like to try a sample and have your pet do a taste test, please contact me.  The website for further information, testimonials, or to place an order is http://www.frrco.com/121909

I am not a ‘seller’ by nature, but I truly feel this is a wonderful quality product.  I look forward to speaking with you and sharing Flint River Ranch with you and your pets. 
 
Thank you!


Helpful Holiday Hints for Pet Parents

  • Do NOT feed chocolate, nuts, and candy to your furry friend.  Nuts and candy may cause choking, and chocolate contains theobromine which may be poisonous to pets.
  • Keep garbage can lids securely in place to prevent pet from secretly over indulging.
  • ‘Treating’ your pet leads to indigestion, upset tummies, vomiting, and diarrhea.  Stick to their normal diet.
  • Create a quiet, special place for your pet away from noise and activity.  Allow pet 2 weeks to get comfortably used to it before guests are expected.
  • Make sure all decorations are pet proof.  Glimmering and dangling ornaments are a temptation – place them out of pet’s reach.
  • Do not leave pets unattended in a room with fireplace or lit candles.
  • Poisonous holiday plants include:
    Holly
    Poinsettia
    Chrysanthemum
    Amaryllis
    Periwinkle
    Mistletoe
  • Great gift ideas include:
    IPT animal massage gift certificates
    Dental Hygiene bones
    New blanket or pet bed
    Interactive Toys

Visit with a pet sitter to care for your pet during the busy holiday season and while you travel.
