By Dr. Doug Mader The holidays are such a wonderful time of year – but we don’t want to ruin it by having a preventable pet tragedy.  I’d like to share some common sense warnings that may prevent a holiday disaster. It would be wise to take a few minutes to assess these hidden dangers before getting all get caught up in the seasonal festivities. The first obvious danger to our pets is the Christmas tree. Aside from the inherent fire risk with real trees, there is also the possibility of pets injuring themselves on the needles and ornaments. Eyes can be accidentally poked or scratched. Delicate ornaments can be broken, resulting in sharp pieces of glass or plastic that can cause cuts or potentially be eaten. Some people hang candy or popcorn on their trees. These confections can be eaten by pets, and the plastic wrappers and strings can be swallowed and cause intestinal damage.  Cats like to play with shiny objects, and tinsel is notoriously dangerous. If swallowed in large quantities it can cause a blockage. Extension cords are always a hazard. Pets can be accidentally tangled up in the wires, thus potentially pulling over the tree, or…

I love our new SureFeed Pet Feeder.  It works like a piece of cake.  The app is so easy to use, and my wife loves that she can control it on her phone.  Belle, our Shih Tzu, is already used to it.  I love that my wife controls how much Belle eats, because the doctor says she’s overweight, by a few pounds.  This product may be saving her life! The price is great, and the feeder will be kept for years to come.  It’s truly an amazing item.  I am so in love with this feeder.  Belle is still getting used to it, but she’s adjusting quite fast.  Belle is Micro-chipped, so it works perfectly, with the Hub.

I’m in love with this Patriotic Pillow Pet.  My mother in law’s birthday is July 4, and she said she’s getting one of these.  I would’ve given her mine, but my 7 year old took it.  It’s so festive.  I love the stars on it’s back side, then you open it, and poof a field of stars.  My son sleeps with it every night.  Jacob loves that he can use it as a pillow, or have it as a stuffy. If you know someone who has a birthday on, or around July 4th, this is the perfect gift.  They will remember their birthday all year, with this little festive guy.  I shouldn’t say little, because he’s a great size.

I See Me! has some amazing gifts, for the child/pet in your life. I love I See Me!, and have for years. My son is so lucky to have so many memories, with I See Me!

Lyons’ engaging text and Tim Warnes’ playful illustrations remind readers about the love, beauty, and friendship all around us.

I love the PawPrints Desk Frame.  My daughter’s dog is getting older, and what a way to remember her, when she passes.  The frame is sturdy, and solid.  Really nice.  It was easy to make the Paw print, as well.  The only thing, it had to dry for 48 hours.  But, as you can see, pictured below, it turned out beautiful. You can purchase the frame online, through Petco.   The frame really is nice.  It’s got the great look and will preserve forever.

John Paul Pet Products is a brand we’ve used for years.  We love how it makes our pet feel, and smell.  We recently got a new puppy, 6 months old now, and she loves John Paul Products.  She goes crazy after she’s bathed in them.  And, Belle feels so soft and she is so loving, after being bathed with John Paul Pet Products. For this bath, we started with the Oatmeal Shampoo (sensitive skin formula), and Belle stood there, proud to be bathed in John Paul Products.  It didn’t burn her, or itch her, and she felt so soft after her bath.  We try to only bath her in sensitive skin shampoos, since she is still a puppy. What it does Gently cleanses while soothing dry skin and coats. How it works With aloe, chamomile, and hydrolyzed oat protein, it cleanses without irritation. We finished up with the spray on Conditioner.   She was so soft, and cuddly.  I could bath her every day, but I just spray her with the leave on conditioner, once a day, and it leaves her feeling so soft.  We love this formula, and will be using it again and again. What it does Soothes, conditions, and moisturizes…

My mother in law just got a puppy, and we had no idea how much she weighed.  So when taken to the vet, for shots, they told us she was 2.3 pounds.  The next trip, she was 4 lbs, and so on.  Now we can keep track of her weight on our own.  She’s not going to get real big, because she’s a Shih Tzu.  But, my mother in law is so excited to get this scale, and weigh her on a weekly basis. EatSmart has a great line of products, including the Baby & Pet Scale.  This scale is the perfect size, to just put back in my in law’s bathroom, behind the door, and leave there.  We can weigh Belle when we go down the hall.  This is an extra bathroom, so it won’t be in the way.  It’ll be out of the way, but everyone will know it’s there.  If along the way, a baby comes to visit, we can check their weight too, if the parents want to.  But we got this scale specifically for Belle. Belle now weighs 6 pounds, that’s a big difference since the 2.3 pounds she weighed, when my mother in law…
