ANTLERZ REVIEW


Antlerz Review:

I think this initially did not appeal to her because she ran past me a few times while I had the Antlerz in my hand and she didnt even seem to notice it.  I sniffed it and it didnt have any sort of odor and looked chalky.  Usually when I have Bully Stick or chicken stick she will immediately run to me.  It was odd looking but once Happy had it in her mouth she seemed to like it.  She was chewing it and licking it but after a few minutes she was not interested.  

She got distracted (maybe someone walking near our house) but she was barking like crazy. With a Bully Stick she will get distracted too but she will always return to her Bully.  I tried to get her to chew the Antlerz again but it never happened.  She just ignored it all night.  I tried to give it to her again the next day but she didnt care about it at all.

Wendy's thoughts:  Great concept.  Interesting treat if your dog likes it.  Doesnt splinter, rich in minerals, and all natural.  I will not be ordering this again but it doesnt mean that other dogs wont love it!

Happy's thoughts:  Was cool for a few minutes but didnt take like something I like.  Maybe better for another dog who is less picky.  Bully Sticks are still my favorite.

Blue Square Cat


I took this picture of Arnica as the sun was starting to set.  I like all the colors that are coming through the window and blinds.  Since its been getting really warm, I leave the windows open so Arnica can lounge on the window ledge.  

How to keep your pets cool during summer:

- Trimming their coat but making sure its not too short or else they can sunburn especially if they are left outdoors during the day.

-  Plenty of fresh water.  For Happy, we have a kiddie plastic swimming pool I fill up before I leave to work and throw a few toys in there.  When it gets too hot, I fill up big tupperwares with water and freeze them overnight.  The next morning I put the blocks of ice in her water and in her pool so it keeps cool longer in the day.  She also likes to play with the ice :)

-  Also, its smart to have more than one bowl of water out as dogs and puppies will splash around in their water sometimes emptying them or getting the water too dirty.

-  Create shade if necessary.  I have 2 outdoor umbrellas and also a giant canopy thing for one side of our yard.  You will find Happy lounging there most of the day.

-  There are also products like the Canine Cooler beds which you is like a thin waterbed for your dog.  Happy didnt like hers but other dogs seem to love it.  Instead I have a Pet Cot which is an elevated bed.  Those allow air to pass beneath them and they dont have to lay on hot concrete.  Pet cots are better overall since the dog will not have their joints against hard ground.

There are a ton of products out there that can help keep your pets cool during the summer.  These are just a few suggestions that I do for Happy since she is definitely NOT a warm weather dog.  

Okay, that went from a cat post to a dog post.
