Vacations Are Fun Together with your Pet

6/1/2022

Taking your dog or cat along on vacation can be more fun for everyone. By planning carefully, you can keep everyone including your pets safe and happy. We pulled together some ‘trip tips’ for your consideration to make traveling with your pet enjoyable.

Pet Health and Safety

Health Checks. Bring your dog or cat to the veterinarian for a checkup before going on an extended trip and make sure all their vaccinations are up to date. Ask your veterinarian if your pet is in proper mental and physical shape to travel and remember that not all pets will enjoy going on a trip.
To keep your dog healthy as you travel, bring along a supply of his regular food. Do not forget the bottled water and be sure to bring any medications he needs. Collapsible bowls for food and water work great, are very convenient, and save space.

Traveling by Car

If they have never traveled in a car get your pet used to this new endeavor by letting them sit with you in the car without leaving the driveway, and then going for short rides. Here are some travel tips when travelling with your pet:
  • Avoid carsickness by letting your dog or cat travel on an empty stomach but make sure they have plenty of water at all times.
  • Keep the car well ventilated. If the dog is in a crate, make sure that fresh air can flow into the crate.
  • Consider a dog seat belt or dog car seat to keep your dog safe.
  • Do not let your dog ride with his head sticking out of an open window. This can lead to eye injuries.
  • Never let your dog ride in the back of an open truck. This is extremely dangerous and can lead to severe injuries or worse.
  • Stop frequently for exercise and potty breaks. Be sure to clean up after your pet.
  • Never, ever leave your pet unattended in a closed vehicle, particularly in the summer. If you must leave the car, designate a member of the family to stay with your pet

Pet Crates

A Pet Crate is an excellent way to keep your pet safe in your vehicle and can also keep your pet from getting into trouble in a hotel or at your host’s home. Consider some of these features when purchasing:
  • Large enough to allow your dog or cat to stand, turn, and lie down.
  • Strong, with handles and grips, and free of interior protrusions.
  • Leak-proof bottom covered with absorbent material.
  • Ventilation on opposing sides, with exterior rims or knobs to prevent blocked airflow.
  • Stock the crate with a comfortable mat, a favorite toy, water bottle, and your pet is ready to go.

Camping and Hiking

Going camping is a popular family activity, and an increasing number of pet owners are including their pets. For those who plan to take your dog or cat along for an outdoor adventure this summer or fall, here are some helpful camping safety tips.
  • Check the regulations of your destination to find out if pets are allowed in the park, on the hiking trails, and at the campsites.
  • Consider whether you and your pet will enjoy the experience of camping together. A dog that barks a lot, has no obedience skills, is afraid of strangers, or is anxious may not be ready to go camping.
  • Be prepared for bugs and give your pet flea and tick prevention treatments before your trip.
  • Trim your dog’s nails. Long, sharp nails can be tough on tent material.
  • Equip yourself for emergencies and pack a pet first-aid kit to take with you.
  • Always keep your pet with you, day and night. Never leave your dog in a closed vehicle. When you leave the campsite, he goes with you. When you go into your tent to sleep, he stays with you. (You can bring his sleeping pad and an extra towel to wipe off muddy paws.)
  • Always make sure there’s fresh drinking water available. If there is not, you should carry in a good supply, along with pet food and lightweight, collapsible bowls. (If you are backpacking, consider bringing a dog pack, so he can carry his own supplies.)
  • Clean up after your dog. Be sure to bring Pet Waste Poop Bags, so you can pick up and dispose of any waste.
  • Be considerate of your neighbors. It is a joy and privilege to be able to bring your canine friend along. Keep him quiet and away from other campers, their food, and safe from unfamiliar pets.

Enjoy the Journey with Your Pet

Hopefully, we have given you some ideas and thoughts about vacationing with your dog or cat. Depending on your destination and vacation activities do additional research and planning and have a wonderful time together with your family, friends and of course your pet.

Thanks,
Ellie’s Pet Supply

Every Cat Needs a Pet Cave

10/27/2021

0 Comments

 
Every Cat needs a Pet Cave! Pet Caves by Walking Palm are sleeping burrows made from comfortable Merino Wool and are purrfect for the cat who likes to snuggle into a warm space! These Pet Caves are durable and provide warmth and security for the pet you love!
Instinctively, Cats love a cave-like space to hide, snuggle and play. It's in their DNA, from their ancestors who lived in caves. Cave-like spaces are cozy and provide a sense of security for cats.
Pet Caves can be used by your cat as a cozy and comfortable pet bed or a fun play space. Multiple cats can use the Pet Cave and they may enjoy snuggling together. Pets up to 18 pounds can use Pet Caves comfortably.
Why Merino Wool? Merino wool is soft, flexible, and offers natural properties to keep your pets cleaner and smelling better. This versatile material has odor resistant, anti-static, and hypoallergenic properties. Because it is temperature-resistant, pets stay warm in the winter and dry in the summer. It is a sustainable, renewable, biodegradable fabric. All these benefits of Merino wool contribute to its popularity in clothing fabric.
Easy care
Pet Caves by Walking Palm are easy to clean. Simply hand wash and drip dry.
Every Cat needs a Pet Cave. Shop Ellie’s Pet Supply for Pet Caves for your furbaby.

Itchy Dogs and Hot Spots

7/2/2021

0 Comments

 
If your dog is itchy, they can develop hot spots. Hot spots are no fun for dogs. The sooner they are treated, the better for your furbaby.
In case you are unfamiliar with “hot spots”, they are hot, red, itchy spots on a dog’s body. “Hot spots” can be caused by allergies, health-related issues, fleas, environmental causes, food allergies, matted or dirty fur, or frequent exposure to moisture. When dogs have itchy skin, they lick and scratch themselves repeatedly to relieve the discomfort, causing “hot spots” or sores on their skin. If “hot spots” are left untreated, an infection could occur. The sooner you treat them, the better.

If detected early enough, bathing and topical treatments could be used in home care, however If at any time your dog’s symptoms do not ease or if symptoms become worse, call your veterinarian.
​

​Bathing and Topical Treatments

​Keeping your pet clean is a good first step in easing itchiness. Regular bathing is good for your dog and rinses allergens off the skin.
A good bath using high quality hydrating dog body wash or itch relief dog body wash and conditioner, soothes your dog and eases itching. Topical treatments such as Spina Organics Miracolo Oil Hot Spot Treatment provide relief and begin the healing process.

Prevent Reinjury

To prevent scratching, biting, chewing or reinjuring the hot spot, an Elizabethan collar (E-collar) should be worn by your dog. We recommend the more comfortable inflatable E-collar as opposed to the traditional clear plastic “cone of shame”. In our experience, dogs generally seem more comfortable and less stressed when wearing the inflatable E-collar. The E-collar should be worn until the hot spot is healed.
​

Daily Care

Trim the fur around the hot spot. Clean the area daily using a washcloth and a small amount of hydrating dog body wash and water. Rinse well and dry with a towel. Apply the topical treatment daily according to the directions. The hot spot should begin to heal, becoming less red every day until it is completely healed. 
​
​

Abbie's Story

Abbie wearing an inflatable e-collar
​Recently, our chocolate Labrador retriever, Abbie became itchy and developed a hot spot. Thankfully, we caught it early and were able to treat her at home. We used Spina Organics Itch Relief Dog Body Wash and Fur Detangler Leave-In Conditioner to soothe and cleanse her fur. We trimmed the fur around the hot spot and kept it clean. Daily application of Spina Organics Miracolo Oil eased her itching as she healed. She wore an inflatable E-collar to prevent reinjury. After a few days, Abbie’s hot spot was healed.

We Used To Be Nose Blind To the "Doggy Smell" - Why We Love Spina Organics Grooming Products

3/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Our family is blessed with two dogs, Ellie and Abbie, that live inside with us. They are such a fun part of our family. Their fur feels fresh and clean most days and they smell great even between baths, but it was not always this way…
In the years before we opened our business, Ellie’s Pet Supply, we would bathe our dogs at home with whatever pet shampoo was available at our local big box store. Within a week of bathing, our dogs would smell like they needed another bath. Their “doggy smell” never left, and we were becoming “nose blind” to it. We cleaned frequently, used deodorizers and fragrant candles to try to mask pet odors, especially before we had visitors. All these efforts were to no avail.

Then we met Mauro Spina (pronounced Spee-nah, because it is Italian), one of the founders of Spina Organics, at a pet products trade show. Spina Organics had just been voted number 1 for having the cleanest ingredients. At Ellie’s Pet Supply, we are all about clean ingredients, the best, safest products for pets. Mauro and his wife Snaiga, originally from Southern Italy, founded Spina Organics “to produce the best, all-natural range of pet care products”. During Mauro’s childhood, in a small village of Puglia, in Southern Italy, his grandmother, Sabina Rinelli, patiently taught him to “make the most of what nature has to offer”. Now located in Beverly Hills, California, the Spina’s use their knowledge of plants and botanical extracts to make Spina Organics grooming products for pets. They are passionate about using only the best, cleanest ingredients for pets.
​
Bath time
At the trade show, Mauro gave us some samples of Spina Organics Hydrating Dog Body Wash, Fur Detangler Leave-In Conditioner and Lavender Fur Refresher to take home with us. As soon as we used these products on our dogs, we noticed why these products were voted number 1 for Cleanest Grooming Products. Let me just say that all previous dog shampoos we had used before were thick and goopy, extremely sudsy, hard to rinse, and had an “overwhelming perfume” scent. Spina Organics Grooming Products are altogether dramatically different from grooming products we had previously used. ​

  • Our experience with Spina Organics Hydrating Dog Body Wash
The bottle was easy to squeeze and the dog body wash was easily dispensed and not too thick or too thin, but “just right.” The scent was delightful and fresh. The dog body wash had a small amount of suds, lifted the dirt out of our dog’s fur and rinsed away easily. Our dog’s fur felt clean and smelled fresh after rinsing and continued to be so for weeks afterwards.
  • Our experience with Spina Organics Fur Detangler Leave-In Conditioner
After bathing, we towel dried our dogs and then sprayed them with Fur Detangler Leave-In Conditioner. Made with Argan and Moringa Oils, this product leaves your dog’s fur softer than before. It is not heavy and allows for easy combing and brushing as it helps to detangle fur. This was extremely helpful in brushing our golden retriever, Ellie’s thick and wavy fur.
  • Our experience with Spina Organics Fur Refresher Rejuvenating Mist
After drying our dogs, we sprayed Fur Refresher mist and gently massaged it into their fur. The soothing lavender scented mist was refreshing. Fur Refresher was also sprayed on pet blankets and bedding to keep it smelling fresh and clean in between washes.

PictureEllie, clean and happy pup!
Overall, since we started using Spina Organics grooming products, our dogs’ fur feels and smells fresh and clean between baths. The “doggy smell” in our home is gone! Our dogs are clean and happy and so are we. We’re happy that we can groom our dogs with healthy organic products and that they feel and smell great. ​

Abbie is so clean and happy after her bath with Spina Organics Hydrating Dog Body WashAbbie, so clean and happy!

Peanut Butter Pup Cake for Ellie's Birthday

4/16/2020

Happy Birthday Ellie Peanut Butter Grain Free Pup Cake
It's Ellie's birthday month and we threw her a party. Since we are quarantining, it was a small party with just her big sis, Abbie and family. Ellie loves peanut butter so when it came to baking a cake, peanut butter was the obvious choice. Our pups eat a grain-free diet so the cake needed to be grain-free as well. Apples and plain Greek yogurt are also favorites of Ellie and Abbie so I included them in the recipe as well.

This cake recipe can be made as
  • 9” round or square Pup Cake
  • 2 - 4.5" ramekin Pup Cakes
  • 6- cupcake Pup Cakes
I chose to make 2 - 4.5" ramekin Pup Cakes, which made one for Ellie and one for Abbie. The cakes baked up nicely and my kitchen smelled like peanut butter cookies. I resisted the urge to bake some peanut butter cookies for myself (like I needed any more cookies...I’ve been baking like crazy during this quarantine!) I decided to shift my focus back to our "birthday girl" and prepare the Peanut Butter Yogurt Frosting. Because of this delightful peanut butter aroma, Ellie and Abbie sat in the kitchen and watched me closely while I finished making their cakes. They watched intently, not knowing if they would get to partake in this peanut butter deliciousness. Their tails wagged when they saw the cakes being placed in their bowls.
We sang Happy Birthday to Ellie and then served each pup their own cake. Ellie didn't waste any time digging in to her cake, frosting and all. Abbie, who is a little more dainty at times, first licked off all of her frosting and then ate her cake. Ellie and Abbie enjoyed their party and especially the cake.
We’re looking forward to celebrating Abbie’s birthday in May. Johnny Cash, our kitty, has a birthday coming up in May or June. With some sort of tuna cake or bowl of cream, we’ll be celebrating his birthday as well. ❤️🐶🐶🐱
