Impressive Products from Global Pet Expo 2025

Wow, can you believe it's been two months since the Global Pet Expo? Time is flying by, and before you know it, we will be at the next Global Pet Expo; who's ready?

Let's dive into a few products that I was most interested in, as well as a specific group of my followers who are closely dealing with the same issues I am. As you know, Pia Pia is now 16+ years old, and I am so thankful for her, her veterinarian team, her support team, our family, and friends who help, are patient and understand what she means to me. Therefore, I examined these products to help other pet owners whose pets have lymphangiectasia, disc degenerative disease, and kidney disease. 

To begin, we will analyze Jaffee's Bone Broth. This small enterprise is still being produced in the kitchen of its founder, Elliott, who formerly worked as a human integrative health practitioner. Jaffee's Bone Broth comes in a broth, pup-sicles, and a topper that can be added to your dog's food. Flavors are available in bison, chicken, beef, and elk, all of which are wild-grazed, free-range, and grass-fed animals, ensuring that no additional additives are added to their feed and their bones remain pure. Each bone is used 100% within the broth, so it's so soft and tiny that your dog can eat it completely. There is no salt, no fat, no flavorings added, and each batch is small. I can personally tell you it smells good, and if I were given it without knowing if it was Jaffee's, it's regular broth for humans, which is 100% bone and human-grade. So, if you're looking for a topper or broth to make your dog's food a bit more appealing, look no further than Jaffee's Bone Broth (www.jaffeesbonebroth.com). With summer already here, bone broth and pup-sicles are a fantastic way to keep your pup hydrated and support their overall health, whether it's their joints, skin, gut, immune system, or provide extra antioxidants. 


Secondly, Gotta Go Grass, living in Florida during the heat of the summer months, the potential of hurricanes, and whatever else mother nature wants to through at us, this is an excellent option for those living in areas that are prone to flood, hurricane or tornado areas, when it is too hot (or even too cold for our northern audience), living in an apartment/condos, and such. Yes, you could use pee pads, but you would constantly need to purchase them; plus, they can get messy and are not odor-controlled. Think of working all day to come home to a mess of pee pads throughout your home, and the smell of it doesn't sound pleasant at all. Now, again, why not get some grass patches? But with Gotta Go Grass, it's nice and green. Pia Pia is extremely particular that her butt can only go on grass that is green, soft, order-controlled, and absorbs naturally, so there's no lingering smell. It comes with a tray for the grass to lay in, and you can add more trays to make the potty location larger with the easy-to-lock trays. Depending on the number of pets, the grass usually lasts 2-4 weeks; however, it can last longer in areas with sunlight and frequent watering. Gotta Go Grass is for all pets, even reptile enclosures. Just think no more humid, hot walks to get your pet to the bathroom, no potty accidents due to rain, snow, sleet, or hail, and the security of not having to walk at night, as the Gotta Go Grass (www.gottagograss.com) can be kept inside, in the garage, and so on. It is comforting to me to have two Gotta Go Grass trays, as even though Pia Pia is small, I want to make sure she has enough space to go. She tends to have to go more often as she gets older, which is unfortunate but understandable. 

Thirdly, Penthouse Paws offers a wide range of products for cats and dogs, including smart feeders, litter boxes, water bowls, and wipes for dental, body, paws, ears, and eye care. The wipes come in two scents – unscented and lavender scent. Fortunately, lavender is a calming scent, and the unscented is seriously unscented. I prefer unscented because I am susceptible to scents. I received a sample of the paw wipes and finger dental wipes. I requested the unscented option, understanding that it would still have a smell. To my surprise and joy, there is NO scent. The wipes still clean very well, especially on rainy days when everything is muddy. The dental wipes, again, have no smell and no taste, which is excellent, considering it's hard to get Pia Pia to open her mouth. However, when I used them, they cleaned her teeth very well; even her vet was curious about who had cleaned them. Between the unscented having no scent, it cleans the paws very well and is fantastic for her teeth. I would surely recommend Penthouse Paws wipes (www.penthousepaws.com).  

Finally, this one is for all furry pet parents – the FurZapper. Now, you may think that when you see it, it will melt in the dryer and cause a mess, which is what I initially thought. Due to its silicon composition, it is resistant to melting. Use one per pet in both the washer and the dryer. My parents have three pets, one of whom sheds badly. They only used two, but they did a great job of getting all the fur off my dad's black pants. The same thing happened with my niece, who has one dog and two cats; her dog and one cat are furry and shed a lot of fur. Again, she only used two, and it removed a huge portion of the fur. Now, again, she has two furry pets, so even though it didn't get all the fur, it got more off than anything else she ever used. She was so happy, with no more lint brushes and no more stress of re-drying her outfits in the hope of removing more fur. When I used it, I only had one pet, so I used only one. It was nice to take a shower and not have fur on the towel as I dried off. The FurZapper (www.furzapper.com) is impressive; it effectively removes fur and is fragrance-free, reusable, and non-toxic. So you won't have to replace them constantly. The FurZapper was surely worth the investment to my parents, my niece, and my sister, who now bought them for her household. 

Another wonderful experience at the Global Pet Expo, where I discovered products that I've added to my household and shared with friends and family. You will also want to add these to your household to help you and your pets. 

Note: I bought Jaffee's Bone Broth and Gotta Go Grass to try. Yes, as stated, Penthouse Paws did provide samples for me to try; however, I subsequently purchased Penthouse Paws wipes. FurZapper did give a sample pack, but after seeing how effectively it removes fur, I bought one for my parents and niece. It is worth it.

Acupuncture for Dogs: Is it Truly Beneficial?

Dogs have been our trusted friends for thousands of years, offering unwavering loyalty, unconditional love, and a special place in our hearts. Like us, our canine friends can experience health issues, and as responsible pet owners, we are always on the lookout for safe and effective ways to improve their well-being. Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been in practice for thousands of years and involves the insertion of needles into the skin along strategic points/areas of the body. Acupuncture is a holistic and increasingly popular approach that has shown promising results in addressing various health conditions and promoting overall health and wellness, as I can contest my own pug’s physical and mental health improvement with Acupuncture.

Being responsible pet owners, our first question would be, is Acupuncture safe for our beloved pets? Yes, if performed by a trained and certified veterinary acupuncturist. It can provide significant relief for dogs suffering from conditions such as Osteoarthritis, Skin allergies, Hip or elbow dysplasia, Spinal cord issues, Anxiety or other behavioral challenges, side effects from chemotherapy, etc. This is just a small list of conditions that may benefit from the introduction of acupuncture. If you believe your dog has a condition that could be helped with acupuncture, inquire with their veterinarian. Other potential benefits included but were not limited to an acupuncture session, decrease healing time, decreased inflammation, increased pain control, and increased mobility.

An acupuncture procedure is minimally invasive, and the needles used are extremely thin, causing minimal discomfort. During an Acupuncture session, the acupuncturist will conduct a thorough assessment of your pet's health and medical history. (“Benefits of Acupuncture for Anxiety and Depression”) They will identify the specific areas where the needles should be inserted, based on the dog's condition and TCM principles. The process is typically well-tolerated by dogs, with finding it relaxing and may even take a nap. My pug had five sessions until she was finally relaxed during the sessions and she would be very relaxed and take a nap. If you are curious about how many sessions are required for your pet, it would depend on a range of factors, including the nature of the condition your pet is being treated for and your pet's response to the treatment. While some dogs may experience immediate relief, others may require multiple sessions over weeks to achieve the desired results. An acupuncturist will collaborate with you to create a personalized treatment plan for your furry friend. A session can be done in a clinic or in the comfort of your home.

To start your pet in Acupuncture, one must seek and choose an Acupuncturist, who has completed additional certification and training in acupuncture, certifications, and accreditations, as well as positive reviews from other pet owners. A skilled professional will ensure that the treatment is administered safely and effectively. Afterall, the acupuncturist will be inserting needles into points along the body’s meridians. Meridians are pathways in which life energy, also known as chi, flows for balance of this energy. From a Western perspective, acupuncture needles are inserted into acupuncture points to stimulate nerves, connective tissue, and muscles. While there are varying approaches to acupuncture depending on the practitioner’s personal approach, the objectives remain the same, which is to stimulate the body’s natural healing ability, therefore promoting an increase in physical and mental well-being.
 

Curious to know if acupuncture is helping your beloved pet? After an acupuncture session, watch for changes in your dog’s daily routine: appetite (increasing and decreasing) many pets drink more water directly after a session, is your dog more mobile than before the session, the pet’s activity levels will increase as they feel better, and positive behavioral changes with increase comfortableness and decreased stress and pain, immune system boost making your pet less prone to illness/sickness, and digestive health with regulating the gastrointestinal system and restoring proper functions.

Acupuncture is becoming increasingly popular as a stand-alone modality or used in conjunction with more traditional treatments for a variety of ailments. Unfortunately, the cost may prohibit some pet parents from exploring this therapy for their pet, but thankfully more pet insurance companies are now covering this treatment. With fewer negative side effects, acupuncture should absolutely be explored for your pets, especially since acupuncture is a natural and complementary approach to conventional veterinarian care. The benefits of acupuncture from pain management to stress reduction, to improved mobility and enhanced overall pet health is unmeasurable.

Pets have a way of touching our lives in a way that we cannot even imagine or put into words to let us give them the love and care they truly deserve by adding this ancient practice of acupuncture to their well-being regimen.

Dogs Riding in Cars and the Hidden Dangers of Having Their Heads Out the Window

When it comes to dogs and cars, it's hard to resist the adorable sight of a canine companion with their head out the window, ears flapping in the wind. It's an image that often conjures up feelings of joy and freedom, but did you know that allowing your dog to ride with their head out the window can actually pose hidden dangers? In this article, we will delve into the potential risks associated with dogs having their heads out the car window, highlighting the importance of prioritizing their safety during car journeys.

1. Flying Debris and Injuries

One of the primary concerns with dogs having their heads out the car window is the risk of flying debris and injuries. Even at moderate speeds, the wind can carry various objects, such as dust, dirt, insects, or small stones, which can hit your dog's face, eyes, or ears. These objects may cause irritation, scratches, or more severe injuries that require immediate veterinary attention. It's crucial to remember that your dog's eyes and ears are delicate and vulnerable, and exposing them to such potential hazards can have lasting consequences.

2. Respiratory Issues

Another hidden danger associated with dogs having their heads out the car window is the increased risk of respiratory issues. When dogs stick their heads out, they are exposed to a rush of air, which can lead to breathing difficulties, especially for brachycephalic breeds with shorter snouts. The forceful wind can irritate their airways, causing coughing, choking, or even inflammation. In extreme cases, this may lead to more severe respiratory distress, potentially compromising their well-being. Protecting their respiratory health should always be a priority.

3. Ejection and Accidents

Allowing your dog to have their head out the window also puts them at a higher risk of ejection and accidents. Dogs are naturally curious creatures, and the sights, sounds, and scents they encounter during a car ride can be incredibly enticing. This can lead to distractions that may divert their attention from the road, putting both them and you in danger. Additionally, sudden movements or stops can result in ejection from the window, potentially causing severe injuries or even fatalities. Keeping your furry friend securely inside the vehicle greatly reduces these risks.

4. Temperature Extremes

Temperature extremes are yet another factor to consider when it comes to your dog's safety during car rides. While sticking their heads out the window might seem like a way for them to cool down on a hot day, it can actually lead to overheating or exposure to frigid temperatures. When the car is in motion, the wind can create a false sense of temperature comfort, masking the actual weather conditions. This can result in heat exhaustion or, conversely, hypothermia, depending on the climate. Always ensure a comfortable and controlled environment for your dog inside the vehicle.

5. Distraction for Other Drivers

Lastly, dogs with their heads out the window can be a significant distraction for other drivers on the road. Their presence can capture attention, causing neighboring drivers to lose focus on the task at hand—operating their vehicles safely. It's crucial to prioritize not only your dog's safety but also the safety of those around you. Minimizing distractions in the car helps create a more secure driving environment for everyone involved.

In conclusion, while it may be tempting to let your dog enjoy the wind in their fur during car rides, it's important to be aware of the hidden dangers associated with this practice. Flying debris, potential injuries, respiratory issues, ejection risks, temperature extremes, and distractions for other drivers are all factors to consider. Ensuring the safety of your beloved furry friend should always be the top priority. Consider alternative ways to provide your dog with a comfortable and secure car journey, such as using appropriate restraints or carriers designed specifically for their needs.

Remember, being a responsible dog owner means safeguarding their well-being at all times, even during seemingly harmless activities like riding in cars. By prioritizing their safety, you can create a positive and secure travel experience for both you and your canine companion.

CBD for Pets...



For the past few years, many of us have heard of, researched, discussed, and are curious about CBD for our pets. Is it good for them? What is CBD? What are the benefits of CBD for our pets? Should I use CBD for my pet? Which CBD product will be best for my pet? 

 While there are several different CBD products on the market, it is up to you - the pet owner - to do your due diligence to view, research, and discuss which of these products will be best for your pet.  As it is good to have a variety of products as no pet is like the next pet, their ailments are different from one pet to the next, even in the same household.  

I, like many of you, was curious, concerned, and confused but while at the Global Pet Expo, I was able to speak to the many different CBD companies from oils, treats, sprays, etc.  I was able to speak to Julianna Carella, Creator, Founder, and CEO of Treatibles, as I explained that my pug has Lymphangiectasia, IVDD, hip dysplasia, arthritis, and is losing her eyesight which now causes her to have some anxieties especially when I leave her whether it is with my husband, a disabled veteran with his own health and anxiety issues. She spent quite a bit of time explaining how Treatibles was created, and the positives of using just a small amount to help my pug with pain and anxiety relief.  She proceeded to give me a few samples and instructions to try while in Orlando and to let her know before the show ended.  Of course, I started my pug that night (split one of the 7 mg. soft chews in half) and my pug was a bit more relaxed but still fidgety.  The next morning, I gave her the second half as I left for another fulfilling fun day of meetings, greetings, and getting information. When I returned to the hotel my husband informed me that my pug was relaxed and did not pace (well only when she had to potty).  That night I gave her another half of a soft chew, and she slept soundly and had no fidgeting.  That made me more relaxed and calmer.  I returned to the Treatibles booth on the last day of the expo, was still concerned, and had additional questions, again Julianna Carella took time to answer all my concerns and questions.  

Now, we have a monthly Treatibles delivery.  My pug is still taking only 3.5 mg a night.  She sleeps soundly, and she is more active than she has been before Treatibles.  If she has any signs of pain or discomfort, I will give her an additional 3.5 mg but I have never had to go over 7 mg (one soft dog chew).  

Also, Treatibles has CBD products for humans and that has helped my husband with his PTSD, calming him.  It has helped me with even my back and wrist pain that I received during a violent car accident.  

Treatibles have been very good for all of us.  I can’t wait to see them in 2023 to update them!


NOTE: This is only one CBD Company that I found that works for us. Please, do your diligence and research on this and other CBD Companies to find what works best for your pet's needs and even yours.

Total Paw-tection for your pets...

As this year is beginning, it’s time to reflect on last year’s Global Pet Expo, especially since March will soon be here and another awesome Global Pet Expo will be upon us! I am excited to be attending Global Pet Expo 2023. 

Pawz for total paw-tection!  Now that a significant amount of time has passed since the Global Pet Expo, I have got to tell you I love the Pawz Paw Sanitizer.  I have been using the Pawz paw protection boots for a while. Living in Florida between the rain and the hot pavement, my dog’s paws need protection. It is the one boot that I found stayed and fitted my dog's paws perfectly.  For those who live in the north, you should view Pawz rubber boots to eliminate your dog’s paws from the frost, ice, and salt that is laid down.  

While attending the expo I was introduced to their paw sanitizer, which can be used for more than just paws, it is pet friendly and environmentally friendly.  I have been able to use this sanitizer to clean my dog’s paws, eliminating the cytopoint injection she needed because of the allergens, fungus, mold, etc. that grow in the grass with all the heat, rain, and humidity.  This helped to save my dog from being subjected to sick dogs at the vet, her constant chewing on her paws, and a monthly injection with the additional cost. Taking a few moments to spray the sanitizer on a cloth and clean her paws is so worth it, plus I am able to use it, similar to hand sanitizer.  Plus, it cleans off surfaces and has NO offensive smell.  

Also, did you know that Pawz also has a paw protex max wax to keep your dog’s paws from getting dried and cracked?  Not sure about you but I like to use as many products from one company as possible, as then I know they complement each other which eliminates any counteraction such as a rash or worse.  The Pawz protex max wax has made my dog’s paws so soft. Even her Groomer, my family, and friends love to touch and feel her soft paws. As I am applying the protection on her paws my hands are also getting soft.  A win-win!  

Overall, Pawz products are pet-friendly, environmentally friendly, reasonably-priced, with no heavy odors, and available at most local stores and of course, online.  Thank you, Pawz for caring for our pets!

The Time to Travel is coming...

 

Whether you are traveling for spring break, summer vacation, or during a holiday you want to make sure your dog is prepared for the trip. If your dog is not used to riding in the car, you want them to get familiar with riding in the car, so start taking them on small car trips around town, continue making the trips longer and longer until you feel your dog is ready for the long car ride.  If you are flying and they are not used to being in a carrier, begin putting them in a carrier for a few minutes a day until they are comfortable and know the carrier is not a punishment. You want a carrier that will meet the requirements of the airline, as well as enough room for your dog. Your dog should be able to stand up and turn around.  You do not want the carrier to be restrictive because then your dog will despise being in it.  Make sure your destination is pet-friendly, whether you are visiting family, friends, or a specific area. The worse you want to do is go to find your furry friend is not allowed or invited.

When packing for your dog make sure to keep them on their regular diet, pack a toy or two of their own, a blanket or towel, food/water bowls, dog treats, and maybe a bed (pending the space you have) so they have a piece of home.  If you are driving, make sure to pack water so when you stop you can give your dog some water.  If it is a long drive, make sure you have their food accessible to feed them. When driving makes sure to walk them so they can relieve themselves.  Make sure your dog is secure in your car by a seatbelt or carrier, in the event of a car accident the carrier, pet car seat, or seatbelt will help keep your Dog safe. 

If you are flying, it’s best not to feed or give them water two hours prior to them flying.  Make sure to let them go to the bathroom before you enter the airport or security area.  There are some airports that have pet relief areas, but they may be outside the security areas, research the airports before going to know if your airport has a pet relief area or not. Leave enough time to allow your pet to relieve themselves before the flight. 

If your dog is on a special diet, research your destination to make sure you can get their food. You do not want to change their diet and risk any issues while on vacation or visiting. Pack all your dog’s medications, heartworm prevention (pending the time of the month you give your dog their heartworm prevention), a recent photo, and a current vaccination record for your Dog. Do not forget when packing to pack an emergency kit for your dog such things as gauze bandage, eyewash, tweezers, bandages, muzzle, extra leash/harness, and gloves.      

Take your dog to their veterinarian for a full physical. You want to verify that your dog is up to date on their vaccinations especially if they are going to a different region, they are healthy to make the car ride, and/or if you are flying your dog will need a flight certification.  Once you get a clean bill of health from their veterinarian request a copy of the vaccination record to have on hand while you travel, in case of emergency.  Reminder, if you are flying call ahead to the airline to let them know you are traveling with your dog (brachycephalic breeds are not to fly in cargo due to their breathing issues) and most airlines have restrictions on the number of dogs allowed on a flight. 

If have not done so it is best to get your dog microchipped.  Many rescues, animal clinics, veterinarians, dog catchers, etc. utilize this method to help get a beloved dog back to their owners.  Make sure to use a secure harness/collar, leash, and your dog is wearing their dog tags while you are traveling and while you are at your destination. You may know the area you are going to but to your dog, you are going to a strange place with new smells, so be patient while they acclimate to their temporary surroundings.  If the cost of the microchip is a problem watch in your area, some Humane Societies, veterinarian clinics, or rescues will offer a microchip at a reduced cost to you. 

Be mindful of your dog during your travels and destination. Be mindful of what your dog gets into such as the different plants, potential toxins, pets around the area, bodies of water such as pond, lake or pool, children and etcetera. Make sure you are aware of local emergency veterinarian clinics around the area, hopefully, you won’t need it, but it is best to know where one is before you need one.   

Traveling is stressful for you and your dog so consider all options and choose the right options for you and your beloved dog. 

Have a happy and safe journey.

With all the Rain, watch out for Standing Water Hazards

 

Water is about 71% of the Earth’s surface between the lakes, oceans, streams and the ponds.  Then there are additional water hazards such as the puddles and standing water within the flower pots and other items which can collect water.  Did you know that if your dog drinks water from puddles, lakes and even the oceans it could make your dog ill?  Yes, even though water is imperative especially in the hot weather; water can be dangerous and even deadly.  For instance, the oceans are the biggest body of water and dogs love to romp in the waves.  However, too much salt water whether by a retrieving a toy, drinking it, or accidently swallowing salt water could cause “beach diarrhea.”  Salt water, of course, has salt in it.  Salt pulls water from the blood and into the dog’s small and large intestines which can lead to diarrhea with blood.  Extreme amounts of salt water could cause vomiting, dehydration, seizures or worse.  In these cases it is best to seek veterinarian care immediately.  The ocean is not going anywhere so make sure your dog takes a break, rests, gets plenty of fresh water, cools down, and remains out of the sun. 

While at the beach also make sure to lookout for jellyfish.  Jellyfish have nasty stings for humans and are dangerous to dogs.  Many jellyfish are located near the shores or on the beach where dogs can encounter them by sniffing them.  The jellyfish tentacles’ release toxins and can cause issues that vary depending on the jellyfish species. Also, if the jellyfish is dried up the tentacles still can release the toxin especially to a curious dog that sniffs or may even bite into one.  Some of the issues could be just an allergic reaction, anaphylactic shock, or death, so keep an eye on your dog and keep them away from jelly fish.  If your dog encounters one, seek veterinarian care immediately. 

 Another issue especially with the warm weather is blue/green algae, especially in areas like Florida.  This particular alga grows in areas such as lagoons and ponds.  The alga smells bad but some animals are attracted to the smell; therefore they will still drink from the lagoon or pond.  Also, if your dog decides to take a swim in the affected water it could cause some skin irritation or even possibly a rash.  If this occurs wash them thoroughly as soon as possible.  If your dog drinks from the affected water and develops diarrhea, walking impairments, or vomiting immediately take them to the veterinary.   

Other bacterium grows in standing water such as; puddles, ponds, and lakes is Giardia, Campylobacter, and Cryptosporidium are usually the most common ones and causes anything from gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea and vomiting.  A majority of the time the bacterium can be treated with just antibiotics.  Most Dogs will recover with no problems but unfortunately there are some dogs that will have some lingering effects, those dogs are the young, older, or with compromising immunity issues.

Leptospirosis is also a bacterium found in standing water but is caused by the urination of small animals such as squirrels, mice, rats, and raccoons to name a few.  If your dog drinks from that contaminated water, it could lead to kidney or liver failure.  It will cause a dog to become lethargic or vomiting.  Early treatment is best to help combat this bacterium so seek veterinarian care immediately and discuss options to treat bacterium.  

One final thought is moderation – yes, moderation.  You want to make sure your dog drinks fresh clean water on a regular basis. There is a thing called too much water at once into a dog’s system which may cause a dilution of the natural balance of sodium which is critical for the water to flow through the dog’s body into the cells to include brain cells.  A lack of sodium in the blood cells could lead to swelling which could cause vomiting, nausea, bloating, lethargy, and lack of coordination just to name a few.  In extreme cases the onset of seizures, coma, or death.  The best prevention from overdrinking is to have your dog take drinking breaks and calm down.    

So, whether it is the jellyfish, seaweed, ocean water, puddles, and such; be careful and mindful of your dog when you are around any type of water.  Dogs can drink something that can make them ill, dogs can drown, and alligators/snakes linger around some bodies of water and other dangers.  Water is fun but water is also dangerous.  Be mindful and pay attention.

Impressive Products from Global Pet Expo 2025

Wow, can you believe it's been two months since the Global Pet Expo? Time is flying by, and before you know it, we will be at the next G...
