Before starting puppies over the age of 6 months on the preventative program, they must be tested for heartworms and given a clean bill of health.

Heartgard plus chewables are beef flavored, which will make your life a lot easier when you are trying to get your animal to swallow it, it also protects against 2 species of roundworm and three species of hookworms as well as heartworm.

Heartgard Plus chewable are made by Merial, the same company who produces Frontline, Enacard, Recombitek, Imbrab and Oravet, so you will know that you are dealing with a reputable company.

Merial quickly addressed the issue and announced that wheat gluten is not present in Heartgard for dogs, and it is therefore unaffected by the controversy over wheat gluten.

Beware of buying cheap Heartgard on the net unless you know your supplier very well.

Another nice service Heartgard dog products offer is a reminder on a monthly basis that you should treat your pet.

Because it is all too easy to let that one thing slip your mind in the hustle and bustle of modern life, the Heartgard website can send you automatic monthly reminders via email.

The FURminator deShedding Tool is guaranteed to reduce shedding in dogs & cats more than any other grooming tool.

While all dogs and cats may not look well groomed at times, long fur and inclement weather combine to cause a worse problem.

Matting in a pet coat is a big problem especially in winter and spring, and under belly hair can get caked in mud and tangled and knotted.

A lot of dogs really hate being clipped, but here’s a solution you can do at home with little fuss… the FURminator.

The FURminator deShedding Tool is a patented product that gently and effortlessly removes dead, loose undercoat and excess fur.

Clipping is something our animals really do not enjoy. Have you had the same experience? The answer is the Furminator.

Your pet remains far calmer during the grooming process due to the brushing, rather than cutting, motion used by the FURminator to groom tangled fur.

This not only reduces stress for your dog or cat, but for you as well, meaning that you can both get back to playtime that much sooner.

There are three available FURminator sizes: small (1.75 inches), medium (2.65 inches) and large (4.0 inches.) They are priced accordingly.

A purple version especially for cats is also available.

The FURminator’s ergonomic easy-to-grip handle and stainless steel construction provide a great tool for getting rid of matted fur, whether your pet has short or long hair.

Using this grooming tool is so easy that you will be astonished that you didn’t buy one sooner.

One big benefit of using the FURminator to groom your pet is that it leaves your pet’s top coat looking shiny and healthy by brining the natural oils out to the surface.

Take into account the added advantage that dogs will shed 90% less, meaning your home will be cleaner!

If you suffer from allergies, the FURminator will greatly decrease airborne particles, making your home a much more comfortable place.

Pet lovers adore the FURminator and they say that their pets’ dry skin, scratching, and matting have become a thing of the past.

Try the FURminator for yourself to find out how easy and effective grooming can be, regardless of the weather, season, breed, and your own time constraints.

Although it might appear cruel to use a leash on a dog, let’s face it sometimes we have to do it predominantly in scenarios where he might behave erratically.

A collar and leash is also a necessary part of training, to get a dog to learn to walk to heel and as a restraint, if he isn’t focused on what he should be doing.

The design of standard collars and leashes mean that all the pressure is concentrated around the neck and throat.

Choke chains are worse as they can bruise and continually constrict around the throat.

Choking isn’t a nice feeling for anyone, least of all a dog, and it’s good to remember that this feeling may inhibit his potential to learn properly. Thank heavens then for this next item.

Made by Premier, the Gentle Leader Headcollar, comes with warm recommendation from vets and trainers as it is much safer than other restraint devices, does not constrict the throat and provides a much more agreeable and calm restraint for a dog.

Just imagine if your throat was constricted, leading to choking and the threat of asphyxiation - wouldn’t that lead to feelings of panic?

Well your dog is just the same, and when dogs are panicked, it’s very hard to teach them anything.

Isn’t it better to reinforce a training message with a softer yet still effective method of control?

The smooth nylon of which the Gentle Leader is made is soft against skin, and it is worn on the head with an added piece over the nose.

The pressure is applied through two areas, the muzzle and the back of the head, so that when your dog pulls away, his whole head is controlled rather than just his throat.

Dogs will respond much better to this form of restraint as they won’t feel threatened or panicked.

It’s so much easier to train and control a calm dog rather than one who is frightened.

They come in two colors, red and blue and in four sizes, extra large for the big boys such as Danes and Rottweilers, large for Labs, medium for collies and so on and small for our little canine friends.

This also means that as your dog grows you can upgrade to the next size up.

It even comes with a helpful, informative, instructional DVD which provides methods of training using the Gentle Leader.

Effective, gentle and well priced - what are you waiting for?

The Gentle Leader may be gentle but it’s a world leader in restraints.

Dick van Patten’s Natural Balance Dog food is scientifically formulated to offer optimum nutrition for your dog.

The secret to its success is the fact they use only extremely high grade meat from USDA approved sources with a combination of superior grains and vegetables.

Some dog foods you can buy use by products of the slaughter process, meaning a less nutritionally rich blend to feed your dog.

It can be served on its own, or mixed proportionally with dry food to offer your dog and your pocket what it needs. Remember though puppies and pregnant or nursing bitches will need up to three times the quantity of an average dog, and older and inactive dogs may require a reduction in quantity.

That’s the great thing, you just adjust the amount you give.

Did we say it was delicious?

Gourmet dishes such as Duck & Potato, Fish & Sweet Potato and Venison & Sweet Potato and Chicken, Beef, lamb and Liver await your dog’s pleasure, even if he usually turns his nose up at some food.

Natural Balance is pretty economical too you will be happy to learn.

The correct amount for a grown up dog is between half and one 13oz can, unless you are serving up a wet/dry combo.

When you add it up, it’s a very reasonable price to pay given the quality of the food.

You will be pleased you chose Natural Balance as your dog grows proportionally and enjoys great vitality.

A great diet on Natural Balance Dog food is only half the story - remember to give him plenty of exercise too.

Ear mite infections are a big problem for both cats and dogs. If you watch your cat or dog and notice some changes in behavior it could be that your pet has ear mite problems.

Symptoms of an ear mite infestation include shaking of the head vigorously, repeated scratching of the ears, some brown colored discharge, possibly some malodor and apparent pain when the ears are touched.

So who are these tiny pests, the ear mites? They are minute parasites that live in the lining of the ear canal.

Feeding on blood, they bite through the lining of the ear, which creates swelling and discomfort for your animal.

If you don’t treat an ear mite infection, secondary problems may set in, including yeast or bacterial infections, sores, blood clots, and surgery.

In the worst case scenario, an untreated ear mite problem may result in loss of hearing.

Bad news if you have more than one pet too as ear mites can be passed from one animal to another.

Ear mite infections are a particular problem in places where there are large numbers of animals, such as pounds, boarding kennels and breeders.

Treat all animals at the same time to ensure you don’t get repeated re-infections.

Although both dogs and cats may contract ear mites, you should take special car if you are the proud owner of a spaniel as their glorious long haired long ears are especially attractive to ear mites.

Ear mites can be dispatched easily and quickly. The first issue to to keep the ears clean - this is where products such as PNP Healthy Ears Ear Cleanser for Dogs can help, as its gentle cleaning properties will remove debris, wax and dust from the animal’s ears.

Ideal for post-swimming, and mild enough for regular use, this Cleanser comes with a special nozzle, making it clean and easy to use.

Alternatively try Lambert Kay Ear Rite Insecticidal Ear Wash.

Ideal for cleaning the outer surfaces of the ear, it makes your dog’s ears less hospitable for opportunistic infections. For dry ears, ClearQuest Ear Powder comes strongly recommended.

It will get rid of any odor problems and will keep ears dry, leading to fewer yeast-type infections.

ClearQuest also make Ear Wipes - a quick and convenient way to keep your cat or dog’s ears clean and healthy.

Formulated with anti-bacterial and anti-fungal components, infections are kept at bay. They come in a convenient container which means clean and easy storage and no waste.

Nature lovers might like Dr Golds Extra Gentle Ear Therapy for dogs and cats to cleanse their pet’s ears.

Be amazed how quickly this product will neutralize the odor from yeast and mite infections, and feel reassured that the product also disinfects with added natural ingredients such as Witch hazel and Tea Tree Oil.

Gimborn R-7M Ear Mite Treatment for Pets is a good choice for severe problems.

This is a good solution for mite problems as it contains an active but natural ingredient which kills mites. Because of its effective nature, breeders and show people swear by it.

If the situation has gotten really bad and your are struggling to cope with repeated or severe infections you need something with some punch, such as Zymox OTIC Solution with and without Hydrocortisone.

Seven days of treatment should resolve a nasty case of ear mites, but double it for repeated ear mite issues.

Your pet’s ears don’t have to be a problems with so many high grade products on the market.

Keep your eyes open for the first signs of ear mites and deal with the infection before it becomes a problem.

Cells, organs, blood, elements - all these work together in your dog’s body to create that mysterious thing - life!

Although we put great store by the larger organs, life depends on health right down to a cellular level.

All parts of this machine must be in tiptop condition for the animal to be in peak health.

An airplane can fly, but sometimes it takes just one bolt to give way for a bigger problem to occur.

We are like machines ourselves, we don’t take care of the small details of our health, which may progress into something of more concern.

And like an airplane component failing, it can lead to a bigger problem in the long run.

The major organs are particularly at risk as they hold the key to life for every creature.

Transplants are possible, but incredibly costly, uncommon and risky. Much better is, of course, to stop the problem before it starts.

Specifically for dogs, Nutramax Denosyl SAMe tabs are a great way to supplement his diet. When you give Denosyl, your dog will produce more glutathione levels in his liver.

What on earth is glutathione I hear you say. Well it’s a powerful antioxidant which helps to repair, regenerate and protect liver cells.

By working on protecting this vital major organ at cellular level, you are giving your dog the best building blocks to form a defense against opportunistic diseases.

Your body destroys thousands of irregular or infected cells every day, but your body has to be healthy in order to fight back.

Nutramax Denosyl SAMe is best used as a way to avoid problems, but it can also help when a dog is already ill; after all there are many unpleasant diseases out there which can affect your dog including Hipidosis, Chronic Hepatitis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Drug-induced Hepatitis caused by Prednisone or Rimadyl, and Pancreatitis.

Nutramax Denosyl SAMe for dogs doesn’t cost the earth you will be glad to know, and will set your dog in good stead for health.

Spend a little bit now in order to avoid potentially costly vets bills later.

At least as humans we have a choice, our pets rely on us to make those health and diet choices for them, so as a responsible owner you really should consider protecting your dog’s inner health.

Nutramax Denosyl for dogs is one obvious and easy way to do just that.

Without a functioning liver we would die, because of the many processes the liver does for the body.

This is the case of all animals, and death comes swiftly.

Of all the major organs in the body, the liver is physically the largest, and is instrumental in the body’s metabolism.

Of its many functions the ridding of toxins is one of the most important.

Clearly the liver is crucial to a healthy body, and its worth making extra effort to keep it healthy?

This is the case in all vertebrates, including dogs and cats.

Did you know that the liver can grow back if part is cut out?

But it needs to be healthy to do this, if it is not in a good environment it may cease working, and death will quickly follow.

Chronic disease can also afflict the liver. But let’s talk about dogs in particular and how their livers can be affected. Don’t forget too that the liver can be affected by disease.

Chronic Active Hepatitis in dogs can be compared to cirrhosis, the disease that affects many heavy drinkers. The causes are often unknown, but the target is the liver.

What happens is that a flood of antibodies are produced by the body and these affect the liver cells, making them tough and fibrous and therefore making it harder for the blood to feed the liver.

Toxic compounds exacerbate the problem, and if left unchecked liver failure can result.

Specific breeds such as Doberman Pinschers, Cocker Spaniels and certain terriers often get this terrible disease.

Of course cancers and hepatitis can also take control of the liver.

Nutramax Denamarin with SAMe for dogs is an oral supplement designed to support liver function.

It contains S-Adenosylmethionine SAMe which stimulates glutathione production and silybin.

SAMe also prevents cell death in the liver and is thought to aid in the repair and regeneration of the liver.

Denamarin should be seen as part of a preventative health regime to protect the liver from illness and harm.

Don’t forget too that the liver is key in ridding the body of toxins so a healthy liver may in fact prevent disease elsewhere in the body.

Produced in doses suitable for small, medium and large dogs, Denamarin is a small expense that could end up saving you thousands of dollars and your dog’s life.

Who can put a price on that?

We don’t need to tell you the liver is one of the most important organs in the body and also one of the most extraordinary.

If the liver fails in any animal, the end will be soon.

Of all the major organs in the body, the liver is physically the largest, and is instrumental in the body’s metabolism.

It has several functions; glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis and detoxification.

In this way it’s obvious why the liver plays such an important role in the functioning of the body, hence the priority should be trying to keep it healthy.

The same goes for pets too, for that matter.

Did you know that the liver can grow back if part is cut out?

But an unhealthy body can be even too much for the liver to do its incredible work, and the result scan be fatal.

Of course the liver is a target for disease in humans. Your pet can also contract diseases of the liver and other major organs. But let’s look at what could be in store for your pooch if his liver becomes unhealthy.

Firstly there’s Chronic Active Hepatitis Dogs, somewhat similar to cirrhosis of the liver but of course not caused by alcohol. The causes are often unclear, but the site is always the liver.

Because a disease is present, the body is provoked into releasing antibodies which clog up the liver.

Add the build up of toxins that cannot be excreted and you will see very quickly how the liver could fail.

If you have Doberman Pinschers, Cocker Spaniels and certain terriers you should keep an eye open for signs of this illness as they are prone to it.

Other diseases which can affect the liver are cancer and hepatitis.

Nutramax Denamarin with SAMe for dogs has been specially formulated to stimulate healthy liver processes by encouraging the production of a powerful antioxidant, glutathione.

It contains S-Adenosylmethionine SAMe and silybin, the former of which increases levels of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant.

Glutathione is an antioxidant to be reckoned with, and SAMe helps nourish, renew and stop liver cells from dying.

Denamarin should be seen as part of a preventative health regime to protect the liver from illness and harm.

You need to choose the correct dosage for the size of your dog, it comes prepared for small, medium and large dogs.

Produced in doses suitable for small, medium and large dogs, Denamarin is a small expense that could end up saving you thousands of dollars and your dog’s life.

Who can put a price on that?

So you use Frontline on your dog, right, but did you also know is is available for cats too?

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that any animal can be treated with the dog formula though, buy the right product for the right animal.

When administered in the way it was intended, your cat will experience a flea and tick free life.

Frontline Plus is approved by the EPA and FDA and for sale all over the planet. Usually a prescription is unnecessary.

Owners rave about it as it deals with ticks and fleas effectively for the longest time of all products on the market.

Imagine being covered in fleas, and how itchy those bites must be; now imagine that those bites could give you dermatitis, and in your cat’s case his fur could fall out, as he relentlessly licks and chews at the flea bite.

Frontline is like a rock steady friend, tough when you need it but gentle.

The combo of fipronil and methoprene mean it’s the end of the road for fleas and ticks. In less than 50 hours your tick problem is over, and fleas will have left the building a day earlier.

It also interrupts the flea and tick breeding cycle meaning that it isn’t only adult fleas that are tackled, but also the larval and egg stages.

Biting lice also get their marching orders in the same dose.

Gentle enough to be applied on kittens and cats eight weeks or older, it gives almost instant relief from the irritation of flea and tick infestation, and prevents the potential diseases that fleas and ticks can bring.

Based on research Frontline Plus has been tested to provide month long protection against fleas, and it’s simple to apply, just squeeze the entire dose onto the skin behind the neck once a month.

If you have followed the instructions to the letter, you can look forward to a whole months without even thinking about fleas and ticks.

Of course it is both safe and it works, that’s what you would expect from a product made by world famous Merial.

Let the customers speak for themselves, you will read how pleased they are with how it works, a very different story when you read about inferior brands.

Your cat will be protected in all weathers too, come spring, summer, autumn and winter as it is resistant against water.

Look no further than Frontline Plus - it’s the best cure for fleas and ticks.

Healthy dog treats are always a big hit with dogs, and it is absolutely essential that your dog have nutritious snacks.

In addition treats can be used very effectively during training, on long strenuous excursions to keep morale up and to reward good behavior.

Obviously you should put great consideration into what type of treats should be offered.

Just imagine what would happen if you gave your child chocolate every time he exhibited good behavior. Inadvertently, you will most likely wind up with a child that is overweight and unhealthy.

This also holds true for your dog. Dogs will eat whatever is available and tastes good, without a thought for their health and well-being, so you have to think for your pet and choose correctly on his behalf.

We are happy to say that there are a lot of different healthy dog treats on the market that are affordable and easy to give, leaving you free to have fun with your dog.

All ingredients are high grade quality, and the Chicken Strips have the added benefit of removing plaque, leading to sweeter breath, healthier gums and stronger teeth.

How much more natural can you get than Pig Ears? This is basic food at its very best, and your dog will just love them.

Dogs savor the slow-roasted texture and strong gourmet taste of Beefeasters Pig Ears for Dogs.

Dog owners love how long they last versus the majority of dog treats available, allowing their pet to chew happily for hours.
