HappyTails Canine Spa

Daisy and I were recently introduced to a pawsome line of natural grooming and wellness products from HappyTails Canine Spa, and are super-excited to tell you about it! HappyTails creates eco-friendly spa, grooming and wellness products that are all-natural, and cruelty free.

We were invited to try out two products from the HappyTails Spa line: Sparkle & Shine Shampoo and Sleepytime Tonic. Both of these items were personally selected by the spa experts at HappyTails, to address Daisy’s individual grooming and wellness needs:

Sparkle and Shine Shampoo

The first spa product we tried was Sparkle & Shine Shampoo, designed especially for light-colored dogs whose coats need brightening. Daisy was snow-white when we adopted her as a puppy, but over time her coat has dulled and I’d describe her more as “off white” these days. We’ve also been using medicated shampoo most of the time because she tends to have skin issues, but that often makes her fur a little coarse and in need of some special attention.

Daisy Sparkle & Shine Spa Shampoo

Sparkle & Shine contains pearlescent brighteners plus all-natural emollients including flax seed, yogurt and honey that combine to enhance the natural luminescence and silky texture of a dog’s fur, and to soothe and heal irritated skin. This shampoo is very gently (important with Daisy’s sensitive skin), and contains no SLS or Parabens. We also love that it is a tearless and easy-rinse formula! And did I mention that it smells GREAT, too!?! As you can see, Daisy thoroughly enjoyed her spa shampoo and bubble bath!

Yay for bath time!

Sleepytime Tonic

The second product we tried was Sleepytime Tonic. Daisy can sometimes be anxious and get overly excited so the good folks at HappyTails recommended this to calm and relax her. Not a sedative, Sleepytime is an herbal relaxation tonic made from natural ingredients, including Bach Flower Extracts, that helps dogs to feel more calm and less anxious. It’s really easy to use and comes with a plastic dropper. You just put a few drops in your dog’s mouth or on a treat.You can use it before trips to groomer, vet, fireworks, thunderstorms, travel and car rides. Daisy actually gets very nervous before bath time so we gave her some before her spa bath and it seemed to relax her and make it a more pleasant experience than usual. It sure helped since I needed her to stay still so I could get some photos of her in the tub, too!

 Dog Days of Summer

 Summer will be upon us before we know it, and with it comes all kinds of outdoor doggy fun, family road trips, beach romps and holiday celebrations! But for most pups summer also brings challenges in the form of scary fireworks and thunderstorms, itchy rashes and bug bites, and queasy car rides. Fortunately, we’ve been introduced to Earth Heart,  makers of all-natural aromatherapy remedy mists for dogs! Earth Heart remedy mists help provide relief to dogs suffering from stress, travel upsets, bugs and minor illnesses caused by environmental irritants.

EarthHeart Remedy Mists for Dogs

Earth Heart has a long-standing reputation for designing effective natural remedies using plant-based ingredients that help dogs live happier, healthier lives. Earth Heart mists are made in the USA, packaged in BPA free containers, easy to use, and can be sprayed directly onto cloth, skin or fur without staining or leaving a sticky residue. The mists are safe to use around the entire family and many humans report feeling positive effects when using the products with their dogs! Earth Heart currently comes in 4 formulas, each designed to address specific types of wellness needs for dogs: Guard Well, Canine Calm, Travel Calm and Buzz Guard.

Guard Well helps dogs find relief from environmental irritants.

We were invited to test and review the formula of our choice, and because of Daisy’s sensitive and rashy skin, we selected the Guard Well Remedy Mist. Guard Well natural remedy mist is specially formulated to help relieve itching, swelling, skin problems and other minor illnesses after exposure to lawn or pool chemicals, environmental irritants, dry air, viruses, bacteria, or long-term use of medications. It contains pure essential oils of niaouli, ravensare and frankincense, and is easy to use. Simply spray on fingertips to massage a dog’s outer ears or abdomen, lightly mist the dog’s favorite blanket or bedding, or spray directly onto irritated skin.

Daisy itchy grass

I’ve been rubbing it on Daisy’s belly before we go outside to play and she doesn’t seem to get as irritated  by the grass and other irritants that usually bother her. I also apply it before bed time because she sleeps with us and often wakes me up with her itching. It’s helped so far, and I really like the smell at bedtime, so it’s like aromatherapy for us all! We will definitely keep using this…especially before and after trips to the dog beach, and hiking trails!

Canine Calm helps dogs relax during stressful situations.

Canine Calm natural remedy mist can help soothe dogs during thunderstorms, fireworks, parties, training, competitions, adoptions, holidays, bath time, grooming, and clinic or kennel visits. This formula contains pure essential oils, including bergamot, lavender and geranium, from plants traditionally used in remedies for relaxation. Simply spray on fingertips to massage a dog’s outer ears or abdomen, lightly mist the dog’s favorite blanket or bedding, inside a home or travel crate.

Travel Calm is a safe and healthy solution for travel shy dogs.

Travel Calm natural remedy mist is specifically formulated to help dogs find relief from restlessness and stomach upset during all forms of travel. Travel Calm contains pure essential oils for relaxation and essential oil of ginger, which is a proven natural remedy for stomach upset. The product is easy to use by spraying directly onto a dog’s crate bedding or clothing, inside the car, or massaged onto the dog’s outer ears or abdomen.

Buzz Guard helps improve your dog’s comfort during outdoor activities.

Buzz Guard natural mist (sold as Outdoor Care in Canada) helps improve your dog’s outdoor comfort during activities such as walking, camping, hiking, boating, dog sports training and competition…and just having a good time in the great outdoors. Created with safe and healthy pure essential oils and neem seed oil, it has been favorably field-treated in a variety of settings, from woodlands to wetlands, and shown to be effective in improving your dog’s outdoor comfort during daytime and evening hours. Spray onto hands to massage a dog’s outer ears, back of head, abdomen, legs and tail, or spray on a bandana placed around the dog’s neck.

Product Review: Marvel Comics Superhero Collection Exclusively at PetSmart!

Daisy Spidey Shirt

We recently told you about the PetSmart Super Hero Sized Sweepstakes with a chance to win a trip to NYC to see Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark on Broadway. Daisy was also invited to try some of the items from the new Marvel Comics collection for pets sold exclusively at PetSmart. As if she enough of a character already, she is now convinced that she has Spidey-senses AND can do all her own stunts!

The new 41-piece Marvel Comics line of pet apparel and toys is available for a limited time only, in PetSmart stores and online at PetSmart.com. You are probably already familiar with the characters, but just in case, the line includes Spiderman, The Hulk, Captain America, Ironman, Wolverine from the X-Men and more favorites from the classic comic collection.

Daisy has proudly sported her Spiderman t-shirt a few times already on trips to the park and out for walks. Now she also thinks she has the Superpower of Attraction because everyone wants to stop and check her out and fuss over how cute she is in her Spidey tee! There are several colors, designs and characters to choose from in the shirts which come in X-Small thru X-Large. You can browse them all at PetSmart.com but keep in mind that they seem to run a little bit small so if you are in doubt, get a slightly larger one (or try it on in the store!).

In addition to the Spiderman tee, Daisy is also enjoying one of the Marvel-themed plush toys. As you can see, Captain America is getting quite a workout! She loves him so much that I even caught her hidding him behind the cushion of her papa’s chair where she likes to stash her favorite toys away for later!
Marvel Comics dog toy

In addition to the squeaker toys like this one, you can also get frisbees, rope tug toys, tennis balls and other fun playthings, all with the Marvel Comics line of characters! Since this is a limited edition collection, they won’t last long. Get them here or at your nearest Petsmart location and you’ll be YOUR dog’s superhero!

Free Purina Health & Wellness App for iPhone and Android!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Triad Retail Media for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

As I’m sure you know by now, I think of myself as Daisy’s mom, not her owner, and like all moms I consider it part of my job to make sure my family stays healthy and well organized. I mean think about it, in addition to hair cuts and doctor’s appointments and play dates, there’s also keeping track of who is allergic to what and when the little one is due for their next round of booster shots…and THAT’S just for the fur kids!

I was super excited to discover a cool new phone app that helps a mom out: the Purina Pet Health App. It’s like a Personal Assistant and Professional Organizer all-in-one!

Have trouble remembering when the next veterinarian’s appointment is?  Enter it and you won’t forget it! Want a reminder when it’s time to visit the groomer? No problem! I like that you can even enter your pet’s own specific health history information and notes about their medical needs. I never CAN find that sticky note where I wrote down how much Pepcid the doc said to give Daisy when she gets an upset tummy! Well, now I don’t have to worry about it. I can add notes to my phone when the vet gives me instructions or advice.

I also really like that when we are traveling, I can use the Pet Health App to find a vet or pet hospital in case of emergency. And since the app lets you load in multiple pets, I’m thinking of adding the info for Daisy’s boyfriend Fin, and her other pals that I sometimes sit for or walk when their parents are busy!

The app is available for both Android and iPhone operating systems and you can get the FREE download here!
