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.
