Holiday Pet Dangers
Posted on November 23, 2022 in Announcements Holiday Pet Dangers
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 worse yet, becoming strangulated by the cord itself. Some dogs and cats, and especially rabbits, like to chew on things, and electrical cords are a delicacy. Aside from the fire risk, the possibility of electrical shock and death to the pet is very real.
Candles can be so beautiful but make sure that they can’t be knocked over by inquisitive cats or dogs. Never leave a lit candle left alone!
Holiday candies are a real treat for humans. However, some sugar-free candies (containing xylitol) can be deadly to animals. Others, like chocolate, contain methylxanthine. This too can be toxic to pets if consumed in large quantities. If a dog or cat gets into a box of holiday chocolates or candies containing xylitol it is an emergency. Take your pet to your veterinarian immediately. It is a lot easier (and less expensive) to just keep the sweets out of reach!
Carefully check out new toys (both people toys and pet toys) to make sure they are safe for your pet to play with. Toys with small parts or pieces that can be easily broken off can also be easily swallowed. If small enough, they might simply pass right through your pet’s digestive tract, however, if it gets stuck a serious blockage can result.
It is not uncommon to have many guests over for holiday celebrations. Some pets, especially dogs, may get nervous when strangers are over. Be sure to respect their space and provide them with a retreat if they feel overwhelmed. On the flip side, some pets enjoy the company and will do their best to steal all the attention!
Lastly, be kind to your pet and avoid giving it a lot of leftovers from the holiday dinner feast. A radical change in diet can cause severe indigestion for even the healthiest pets.
Along the lines of holidays and pets, it is a good idea to think twice before giving someone a live pet as a gift. Although you may think it is a good idea, and you may think that the intended person may really want or like to have a particular pet, please check with them first.
Have a happy, wonderful, pet-safe holiday season!!!!!

Happy Day Brands Has THE Best Gluten Free Pasta
Posted on November 20, 2022 in 2022 Holiday Gift Guide
There are four varieties of Happy Day Brands Gluten Free Pasta. Let’s start with the amazing flavor, though. I love the flavor. My daughter has a gluten allergy, so these are perfect for her. We cooked with them the other day. They were delicious. Not only are these noodles Gluten free, but they are also organic.
There are four varieties, as stated above. This includes penne, spaghetti, mini shells, and rotini. I tried the penne. It has great flavor, so I’m sure they are all alike. These noodles taste like they are regular. Only you will know they are gluten free.
Under the conditions of this product being Gluten Free, and Organic, the price is incomparably great. You won’t find any pasta that tastes as much like regular pasta, as the Happy Day Brands. You will love it. And the price is incomparable.
At Happy Day Brands we believe in eating good and doing good. Our original plant based pasta is made from rice, quinoa and amaranth. It is certified gluten free, organic, vegan, kosher and produced in our dedicated allergen-friendly facility. Our innovative recipe makes for the perfect pasta…we’re talking taste and texture that you’d expect from a forkful of traditional pasta.
Happy Day Brands has a lot of different products. Go to the link below to check out all the things available.

TRENDHIM: Keeping Up With The Bling While Keeping It Clean
There’s no denying it, men’s jewelry is only going to skyrocket from here onward. The Paris, Milan, and NYC men’s spring/summer 2022 show was proof enough. Here are some key pieces that we think will create that extra oomph, even when you’re wearing a plain white tee.
Multiple Rings: The More, The Merrier
Adorning one’s hand with multiple rings, whether it is a couple of subtle gold ones paired with showy signets, is now a thing. TRENDHIM’s ring collection offers a mix of rock punk to clean lines, rings with colourful stones to a titanium collection that can rival an aircraft.
See TRENDHIM’s ultimate ring guide, HERE.
Necklaces: Bold Combinations
Feeling a wee bit apprehensive to rock pearls (The Amager Collection) and chain necklaces? Worry not, this year’s trend is all about breaking the norms. Stack a chain necklace with pearls or layer it up with different thicknesses, the sky’s the limit to your creativity.
See TRENDHIM’s ultimate necklaces, HERE.
Bracelets: Minimalism At Its Finest
Cuffs or a simple chain or two would do the trick. Engrave for more personalization, which TRENDHIM also offers. If you want to wear two or three, make sure that the colours complement each other, if not the same.
See TRENDHIM’s guide to wearing bracelets, HERE.
Earrings: The Charmed Life
Whether it’s a simple stud or earrings with statement charms, nothing screams self-expression better than this. And more and more men are jumping on the hype train of ear piercing.
See TRENDHIM’s ultimate ear-piercing guide, HERE.
Aside from blurring the lines of male and female pieces, another thing that stood out for this year’s trend is sustainability.
TRENDHIM is already working on it as well. “We are committed to making better choices that will help us reduce our environmental impact. With the help of Sustainawear, we’ve gained vital insights into the steps needed to move our business operations toward a more sustainable future, not only for our customers but the home we all share 🌍 💚 We’re also running on “the cleanest cloud in the industry!” Currently carbon-neutral, Google Cloud aims to be completely carbon-free by 2030. Our warehouse storage is also earth-friendly, made of 100% recycled paper. And what’s more, they’re 100% recyclable afterwards!”
Accessories to us are everything a man can wear, except his clothes.

I Adore Nguyen Coffee Supply
Posted on November 16, 2022 in 2022 Holiday Gift Guide
The Nguyen Coffee Supply Company is amazing. The coffee is grown in Vietnam and roasted in Brooklyn. It’s so great. I received the Truegrit Coffee 3 days ago, and I can’t get enough of it. I’m hooked already. I am going to be placing another order soon. It’s so great. It beats any of the leading brands.
There are several different blends, and they are all totally the bomb. Take a look at the site, this month they are having a percentage off sale, for Thanksgiving. It’s amazing the price Nguyen Coffee is. You won’t find top grade coffee anywhere for these prices.
The Truegrit has a lot of qualities, features are as follows:
- Robusta beans have nearly 2x more caffeine content
- 60% less sugar and 60% less fats
- 2x more antioxidants than arabica
A medium roast with a full-body experience due to the unique benefits of the Vietnamese robusta coffee bean.
I love all the products they have as well. The Phin Drip Coffee Set is amazing. You’ll love it as much as I do. It’s handcrafted by Vietnam women. They do such a great job!
I will never switch back to leading brand coffee again. I love Nguyen Coffee Supply and will continue to order from them in the future. You will love it too, if you just try it once.
The taste is outstanding. I’ve never had such rich coffee before. There’s no bitterness at all. It’s just a great taste. I’m even more alert during the day with the amazing Truegrit blend.
