Does Your Doggie Get Unsightly Tear Stains?

Remove your dog's unsightly tear stains using all natural, safe products
Your dog is adorable, but those ugly red tearstains under her eyes really look bad. The reason tearstains are so hard to eradicate is that they are a visible symptom of a deeper systemic problem.
The most common cause of the redness is yeast infection which in turn is produced by bacteria. That’s why, if you want to get rid of tearstains, wiping the eyes is only the first step. Unless you boost your best friend’s immunity, the bacteria will persist and so will the stains. happytails has created two new products that work together to fight the problem from the inside and out.STEP 1 Clean the eye area with convenient, hypo-allergenic EyePads. There's nothing to mix, nothing to measure, Simply take out a pre moistened pad and the herbal infusion gently clears away unsightly smudges. Rub with and against the grain of the fur for maximum effectiveness. The pads are soaked with herbs and botanicals that reduce the discoloration and inhibit the bacteria that cause it.
The pads contain no pharmaceutical antibiotics so are perfectly safe for all dogs

STEP 2 Sprinkle Eyemunity powder on your dog's food every day. The unique formula contains a nutrient rich, high-metabolite immunogen (Epicor) that has been clinically proven to boost immunity on both animals and humans. An improved immune system will fight the annoying bacteria that is the root cause of the redness.
The all natural formula contains no pharmaceutical antibiotics so it won't upset your dog's delicate system and it tastes delicious! Just mix it right into his food and he'll never know. Best of all, not only will it help with that under-eye staining but it will also improve your best friend's overall health! How great is that?

For the love of our doggies!

National Poison Prevention Week

National Poison Prevention Week was last week─March 16 to March 22

Because our pets depend on us to keep them safe, we think it’s the perfect time to review the harmful substances your furry explorers may encounter at home. Here are just a few ways to ensure that your household is pet poison-proof:

* Keep prescription and over-the-counter drugs such as painkillers, cold and flu preparations and antidepressants behind tightly closed cabinet doors.

* Make sure chocolate, coffee and other potentially dangerous foods are kept out of pets' reach.

* When using products to eliminate fleas, ticks and other pests, follow directions exactly. Be sure the item you’re using has been formulated specifically for your pet, and check with your veterinarian before using it.

* Many common household plants such as lilies, azaleas and kalanchoe can cause surprisingly severe, even life-threatening effects in pets. Please check our complete lists of toxic and nontoxic plants.

* Take care to use cleaning products that have been proven safe for use around pets. If you do use bleaches, detergents or disinfectants, keep your pets away from the cleaned areas until the product has dried thoroughly, and be sure to store the products in a secure place.

Visit the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) online for lists of specific items that could be dangerous to pets.

FROM ASPCA: PET OWNERS! DECK THE HALLS—BUT DO IT SAFELY, PLEASE

I received this email from the ASPCA and thought you might want to read it:
For many of us, ‘tis the season to decorate our homes with live Christmas trees and holiday greenery. But did you know that some of these yuletide traditions can be hazardous to your pet’s health?

* Lovely lilies are commonly used in holiday floral arrangements, but many varieties—including tiger, Asian, Japanese show, stargazer and the Casablanca—can cause kidney failure in cats if ingested.

* Bag the boughs of holly and live mistletoe. Sure, they add a nice touch to your holiday décor, but holly can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy if eaten by your pet. And should he sample mistletoe, he could suffer gastrointestinal upset and cardiovascular problems. Opt for just-as-jolly artificial plants made from silk or plastic.

* Christmas tree water may contain fertilizers that can cause stomach upset. Stagnant tree water is a breeding ground for bacteria—and your pet could end up with nausea or diarrhea should he imbibe.

If you suspect that your animal companion has eaten a potentially toxic substance, call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center’s emergency hotline at (888) 426-4435 for round-the-clock telephone assistance. A fee may apply.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Precautionary Dog and Cat Food Recall

Menu Foods has announced the following:

PRESS RELEASE
Menu Foods Income Fund

March 16, 2007
Menu Foods Income Fund Announces Precautionary Dog and Cat Food Recall
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - March 16, 2007) -

Menu Foods Income Fund (the "Fund") (TSX:MEW.UN) today announced the precautionary recall of a portion of the dog and cat food it manufactured between December 3, 2006 and March 6, 2007. The recall is limited to "cuts and gravy" style pet food in cans and pouches
manufactured at two of the Fund's United States facilities. These products are both manufactured and sold under private-label and are contract-manufactured for some national brands. Over the past several days, the Fund has received feedback in the United States (none in Canada) raising concerns about pet food manufactured since early December, and its impact on the renal health of the pets consuming the products. Shortly after receipt of the first
complaint, the Fund initiated a substantial battery of technical tests, conducted by both internal and external specialists, but has failed to identify any issues with the products in question. The Fund has, however, discovered that timing of the production associated with these complaints, coincides with the introduction of an ingredient from a new supplier. The Fund stopped using this ingredient shortly after this discovery and production since then has been undertaken using ingredients from another source.

At the same time, the Fund's largest customer, for which it manufactures on a contract basis, received a small number of consumer complaints and has initiated its own recall. Furthermore, for the time being, the customer has put future orders for cuts and gravy products on hold. This customer's cuts and gravy purchases in 2006 represented approximately 11% of the Fund's annual revenue. "We take these complaints very seriously and, while we are still looking for a specific cause, we are acting to err on the side of caution" said Paul K. Henderson, President and CEO, Menu Foods. "We will do whatever is necessary to ensure that our products maintain the very highest quality standards."

While the number of complaints has been relatively small, Menu is taking this proactive step out of an abundance of caution, because the health and well-being of pets is paramount to the Fund.
In addition to changing suppliers, for production after March 6, the Fund has increased testing of all raw materials and finished goods. It is also working closely with regulatory authorities and its customers to learn more and will take whatever additional actions are appropriate.

In order to determine whether cat and dog food in their possession is subject to recall, consumers should refer to the list of brand names ("listed products") at www.menufoods.com/recall. This will be available by 6 a.m. Saturday March 17, 2007. Products not identified on the website can continue to be used.
