Pet Product Review - Calming Collars
I found the perfect gift for any Cat, Dog or Human... The Calming Collar. OMG.... I LOVE IT.
The manufacturers; The Mendez Group, sent me two samples, a small and a medium. I immediately put the medium on my cat and the small on my 10 week old puppy. I'd say within 10 minutes, they were both asleep contently. They did not mind the collar at all. Of course, I thought wow! this works so well that perhaps the lavender and herbs were too powerful and possibly dangerous for a puppy. So I contacted Deb at Mendez Group and she assured me that they were fine. The collars have no essential oils, only a carefully blended combination of lavender and herbs. 100% all natural and the fabric is non toxic as well.
Here is what their site had to say:
The beauty of our products is not only that they work, but that they work using NATURAL methods. You just clip our collars on your pet and let the herbal blends work naturally to calm your pet. Stress relief is just minutes away for your loved one. Reduce dog anxiety and or cat stress!
Our Calming Collars (Patent Pending) are filled with a blend of natural herbs. Our blends were specifically developed to help with certain conditions, like excessive barking, hyper-activity, stress, anxiety and fear due to loud noises, storms and thunder (thunderphobia), separation anxiety and more!
Another added bonus is that it makes your house smell wonderful! I showed it to two friends and they want one, not for their pets but to put under their pillows at night. They are lovely. Here is my cat Stinky wearing his:
I'd love to try the collar they have for car anxiety. That has always been an issue with all of my dogs.
Order your Calm Me Collar for $32 directly at: http://www.calmingcollars.com/digishop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=4 I'd recommend you buy one size larger than you think you may need. The collars are a bit snug. Stinky is wearing a size medium.

Pet Product Review - Sea-Yu Clean+Green Wood and Tile Cleaner
As you may know, I got a puppy the other day. A baby Sheltie named Charlie. With the new pup, I've also made a commitment to make my house as organic and chemical free as possible. The reason, my last dog Champ died of cancer and who knows but I don't think chemically ladden cleaning products helped at all.
Now as you can imagine, having a puppy, there are lots of spots...... pee, feces, drool and all sorts of other spots. With that, I try my best to keep Charlie confined to my kitchen with a ceramic floor or my foyer with wood parquet. Thank goodness a few months ago the people at Sea-Yu sent me a can of Sea-Yu Clean+Green Wood and Tile Cleaner for Dogs. I LOVE IT.
I love it because it not only cleans, but it elimates odor and removes stains. Its really an all purpose cleaning product. So super easy to use, just point at the spot and spray. So puppy spots, no problem! My floors look great.
Importantly, Sea-Yu Clean+Green products are completely safe for your pets and for the environment. The ingredients are all natural:
Cane sugar derivatives, proprietary blend of botanical extracts, hydrated cellulose (cleaning agents) purified water and nitrogen
and the combination naturally biodegrades the odor causing materials. Oh... And its MADE IN THE USA ! GO SEA-YU ! Personnally how it all works is too much rocket science for me. So go to their site for info on how this works:

Pet Product Review - Ark Naturals Neem “Protect” Spray 8 oz
Many people ask me for product recommendations when their pet has particular conditions. The other week and friend of mine with a pug asked me what spray I would recommend for those little bites and irritations that cause her little "Nigel" to pick and chew on. So, I asked my vet. Her recommendation, Ark Naturals Neem “Protect” Spray.
I said to myself, neem? what's that? Well, A very famous herb of India with worldwide fame and having magical properties known for its miraculous medicinal values from past 5000 years. Neem is known as free tree of India as it is found almost everywhere in India. Neem act as anti bacterial, anti parasitic, anti fungal, anti protozoal and anti viral thus helps in protection from all the microorganisms, which are always ready cause problems of all sorts.
on www.Arknaturals.com they say; "Ark’s Neem “Protect” Spray is environmentally friendly, gentle and a non-drying formula for pets including: dogs, cats and horses. It’s perfect for animals with skin and coat issues including insect bites and skin and coat irritation" and my vet agrees.

Pet Product Review - CLEAN+GREEN by SeaYu The Only Eco-Friendly Aerosol Pet Cleaning Product
Ok, today is Earth Day!!! Happy Earth Day! I'm in beautiful California where the weather is just gorgeous and I can't think of a better day to help SeaYu launch their new line of odor and stain aerosol cleaning products called CLEAN+GREEN.
The people at CLEAN+GREEN sent me some samples, so I was really glad to test them out in time for Earth Day, but also to help me clean up after that little minature Pinscher house guest I had the other week. You may remember, the one that pee'd all over my oriental rugs. Ok, I'm venting... but the timing was perfect.
Now, as you know every pet household must have cleaning products in their house to combat the occassional accidents and mishaps. Even, Champ, my perfect little Sheltie had one the other day on the wood floor. Now my position is if you're going to buy anything, especially cleaning, disposible, waste bags, or such, try your very hardest to make sure it's eco-friendly and biodegradable. Well finally we have an aerosol product that is. But, I'm not a scientist that can prove this, I leave this up to the people at SeaYu.
As for the products, yes they are great. When you use CLEAN+GREEN, you can tell the odor is removed without any perfumes or chemicals. Its kind of weird, its more of an odor eraser. I did use it on the rug that my minature house guest wet, and I can say that the odor is gone. Unfortunately, the stain was in the rug so long that that dye of the rug did change slightly (only I can tell). So, CLEAN+GREEN Rug cleaner is not going to do miracles.
Now on the wood floor, I used the CLEAN+GREEN for a more solid mess-up. After good old water and a bit of soap, I used the CLEAN+GREEN for wood floors. I sprayed it on and let it sat, and low and behold, no smell or residue. Usually I pour tons of oil soap all over the floor, and then furniture polish make it shine. CLEAN+GREEN is a lot less.
Which brings me to another point I like, you don't need tons and tons of product to make it work. A few sprays. Not like some "miracle" products that require a full saturation and even then may take up to two weeks to work. Please, what a waste.
Anyway, I really liked the CLEAN+GREEN products that were sent to me for rugs, furniture and for wood floors. I hope they send me more samples as they grow their line. But until then, you can get CLEAN+GREEN at www.PetFoodDirect.com:
