Supporting your pet’s health in the summertime

ALL TYPES OF PET CHALLENGES. SOME YOU CAN FIND SOME EASY ANSWERS TO, OTHERS YOU NEED TO BE A LITTLE MORE CREATIVE. PET TREND OLOGIST CHARLOTTE REID IS HERE WITH HER DOG WALLY WITH SOME TIPS FOR US. GOOD MORNING CHARLOTTE, THANKS FOR JOINING US. GOOD MORNING WALLY AND I SAY HELLO. HI WALLY. HE’S ADORABLE. LISTEN, THIS TIME OF YEAR, IT’S A REAL PEST WITH THOSE FLEAS AND TICKS OUT THERE. SO YOU’VE GOT SOME NATURAL PRODUCTS TO TALK ABOUT. SURE. ONE OF THE REASONS I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT NATURAL PRODUCTS, BECAUSE A IT GIVES PEOPLE AN ALTERNATIVE. AND THEN FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAVELING, WHO MIGHT GO TO AN AREA OF THE COUNTRY THAT’S A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEA AND TICK ORIENTED, LIKE THE MIDWEST, YOU MIGHT NEED A LITTLE EXTRA HELP, BUT YOU DON’T WANT TO DOUBLE UP ON YOUR PRESCRIPTION OR YOUR OTHER VET MEDICATION. SO I BROUGHT NATURALS, TEVA PETS NATURALS. IT’S GENTLE ON PETS AND PETS, ESPECIALLY IF PETS HAVE A SKIN CONDITION OR THEY’RE ILL OR, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT’S A LITTLE GENTLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. JEN, I JUST MOVED THREE MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND I’M BATTLING SAND FLEAS. ALL FOUR OF MY DOGS HAVE THEM AND I CAN’T DOUBLE UP ON THE MEDICATION. SO I DID SOMETHING. THE NATURALS. AND ACTUALLY WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT, IT COMES IN TOPICALS, IT COMES IN CHEWS, IT COMES IN SHAMPOO SPRAYS DIRECTLY ON THE DOG, SPRAYS IN YOUR HOME. LIKE I COULD SPRAY THEIR CRATE. AND ALSO THEY HAVE FLEA COLLARS. SO THE DOGS ARE WEARING FLEA COLLARS. THEY’RE BEING BATHED ON A REGULAR BASIS. I’M VACUUMING. I’M GOING COMPLETELY CRAZY TO GET RID OF ALL THESE SAND FLEAS. YEAH, IT’S REALLY HARD TO STAY ON TOP OF FOR SURE. AND YOU MENTIONED MOVING. THAT CAN BE STRESSFUL FOR A DOG. THERE’S OTHER STRESSFUL SITUATIONS IN THE SUMMER. SOMETIMES YOU’RE HAVING GET TOGETHERS, THUNDERSTORMS. IS THERE A WAY TO QUICKLY CALM THEM DOWN? SURE. ACTUALLY I LOVE THIS. IT’S BY VITALITY’S TWIST AND LICK. AND HERE’S THE DEVICE. YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT HERE. YOU TWIST IT FROM. AND WHAT’S REALLY INTERESTING ABOUT THIS, IT FEATURES PROLONGED TECHNOLOGY. SO ACTUALLY YOUR PET LICKS THE GEL FROM THE DEVICE. LET’S SEE IF WALLY WILL LICK THIS MORNING. HE LICKS THE GEL FROM THE DEVICE AND THEN IN 15 MINUTES, THE GEL GOES INTO THE BLOODSTREAM, CALMING THE PET CONTINUOUSLY FOR 24 HOURS. THINK ABOUT BEING IN A BUSY AIRPORT. THINK ABOUT THUNDER. THUNDER WORKS COMING UP ON 4TH OF JULY. THIS IS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE FOR A FAST SOLUTION BECAUSE SOME OF THE OTHER SOLUTIONS, LIKE CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT OR RETREAT THAT MIGHT NOT WORK WHEN YOU’RE IN A BUSY AIRPORT OR YOU’RE, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE WAITING IN A IN A, AN ACTIVITY, LIKE A BIG ACTIVITY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO IT’S THE BEST THING TO DO. WHAT’S IN IT? IS IT CBD? IS IT WHAT IS IT? NO, CBD, I DON’T NECESSARILY RECOMMEND CBD BECAUSE THERE’S NOT A LOT OF TESTING FOR IT. IT’S GOT NATURAL INGREDIENTS THAT HELP TRYPTOPHAN. IT’S GOT TRYPTOPHAN, IT’S GOT. LET’S SEE. I CAN’T READ THIS. CAMOMILE. IT’S GOT CAMOMILE IN IT. TRYPTOPHAN. AND THE BEST PART IS THE DOGS LOVE IT, BUT IT’S THAT FEATURE PROPRIETARY PROLONGED TECHNOLOGY THAT HELPS WORK, MAKE IT WORK IN 15 MINUTES IN THE BLOODSTREAM. AND ALSO THE CONTINUOUS CALMING ACTION FOR 24 HOURS. LISTEN. AND THAT IS BY VITALITY. AND YOU’VE SEEN THE TWISTS IN WITH DENTAL GEL THAT I’VE SHOWN YOU. OH YEAH. AND WALLY’S GOING TO TOWN ON THAT. AND LISTEN, THAT WAS REALLY GOOD. DISTRACTING OF WALLY. CAN YOU DO OTHER THINGS TO DISTRACT YOUR DOG WHEN YOU’RE DOING THINGS LIKE CLEANING THEIR NAILS, LIKE CLIPPING THEIR NAILS? MY DOG HATES IT. EXACTLY. THIS IS NEW FOR MY FRIENDS, CRAIG. TWO BROTHERS, CRAIG AND ERIC. IT’S CALLED DISTRACT A HAT. CHECK THIS OUT. IT’S GOT A PEANUT BUTTER STRIP RIGHT? HERE IT COMES WITH A SMEAR BRUSH. AND IT’S FUNNY. IT COMES WITH THE SMEAR BRUSH AND THE COMB. AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE ON THE HIKING TRAIL OR YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. YOU WANT TO DREMEL YOUR DOG’S NAILS OR CLIP THEM. THIS IS ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE. YOU GRAB THE PAWS, YOU GRAB THE DOG’S PAW, AND THEN YOU HOPE YOUR DOG IS GOING TO SEE WHILE HE’S LICKING IT. HE’S GOING TO TOWN HE LOVES. HOW GREAT IS THAT? AND IT’S ABOUT $29, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE DOING ONE OF THOSE HARD TASKS. SOME PEOPLE, LIKE YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER, SO YOU HAVE. IF YOU HAD A LITTLE GIRL DOG, YOU CAN BE PAINTING THE DOG’S NAILS WITH THE VARIOUS WARREN. LONDON. THIS IS THE NAIL, YOU KNOW, NAIL POLISH. AND THEN YOU’VE GOT A SCRUBBER. THE LAST THING A LOT OF PEOPLE ALWAYS FIND THIS OUT. I ALWAYS FIND THIS WHEN I’M TRAVELING BECAUSE I SPEND A LOT OF TIME TRAVELING, DOING TV ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE A TENDENCY TO FORGET THE WATER BOWLS, RIGHT? SO I BROUGHT SOME TEMPER BRANDS, A DOUBLE DINER, WHICH I LOVE BECAUSE JEN, IT FALLS FLAT JUST LIKE THIS. THOSE ARE GENIUS, RIGHT? YES. AND YOU CAN. IT’S FREE. IT’S DISHWASHER SAFE. IT COMES IN THREE SIZES, DEPENDING ON THE DOGS. YOU ALWAYS TEND TO HAVE BIG DOGS. I ALWAYS TEND TO HAVE SMALL DOGS. THREE SIZES, TWO COLORS, PINK AND BLUE. AND YOU KNOW, YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO WITH THE TRADITIONAL PINK FOR THE BABY GIRL. A LOT OF GIRLS LIKE BLUE. I’M WEARING BLUE TODAY, SO THESE ARE GREAT SOLUTIONS. BUT THEIR PROBLEM IS MOST PEOPLE DON’T THINK ABOUT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YEAH, YOU HAVE TO PLAN AHEAD. I LIKE THAT BECAUSE A LOT OF DOGS WON’T DRINK DIRECTLY FROM A WATER BOTTLE WHEN YOU POUR IT. SO TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT’S FANTASTIC. SURE. AND I LOVE IT BECAUSE THIS FALLS FLAT LIKE THIS. IT’S GOT A CARABINER. RIGHT. SO WHAT’S NICE IS YOU CAN PUT IT ON YOUR BACKPACK IF YOU’RE ON THE HIKING TRAIL, IF YOU STOP AT A REST STOP WHEN YOU’RE TRAVELING BY CAR OVER THE SUMMER, YOUR DOG HAS A LOT OF WATER. I’M GOING TO TELL YOU A LITTLE SECRET. I KEEP ABOUT THREE CASES OF WATER, AND I KEEP A LOT OF THESE BOWLS. THESE ARE BY LOVING PETS PRODUCTS. AND WHAT’S NICE ABOUT IT IS WITH LOVING PETS PRODUCTS. I GIVE THESE BOWLS AWAY. IF I SEE SOMEONE WALKING AT 12:00, I CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE WALKING THEIR DOGS AT THE HARDEST PART OF THE DAY, BUT I WILL STOP. I WILL GIVE THEM A WATER BOWL AND I WILL GIVE THEM A BOTTLE OF WATER BECAUSE IT’S SO HOT FOR THE DOGS AND WE’RE MOVING INTO SUMMER AND MOVING TOWARD JULY. THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER. JULY IS HYDRATION MONTH. YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR PET HYDRATED, SO THIS IS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE. YOU ALSO WANT TO THINK ABOUT CLIPPERS FOR YOUR NAILS. IF YOU’RE WALKING ON THE HIKING TRAIL, THIS IS THE TIME BECAUSE YOU’RE SPENDING SO MUCH TIME OUTSIDE. DOGS BREAK THEIR NAILS. YEAH, RIGHT. SO IT’S NICE TO HAVE I TRY. I ALWAYS TRAVEL WITH A CLIPPER BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO DOGS BREAK THEIR NAILS, BUT I FIND IF I’M IN A CITY, SOMETIMES THERE’S GUM ON THE STREET OR THEY GET THE MATS BEHIND THE EARS. SO I LOVE THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS ALL CLIPPER BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES IT COME WITH CLIPPER COMBS FOR A QUICK CUT, BUT IT ALSO COMES WITH A CLIPPER FOR THE FACE. FOR THE BODY, THE DREMEL FOR THE NAILS, AND THIS LITTLE SMALL CLIPPER HERE GETS RIGHT IN BETWEEN THOSE PAW PADS. OH, THAT’S REALLY, REALLY GOOD FOR THEIR LITTLE PEDICURE. CHARLOTTE, THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU GAVE US SUCH GREAT IDEAS. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. IT’S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOU GIVE THEM A PAT AND A KISS FOR ME. OKAY, I WILL, AND YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION AND LISTEN TO MY SYNDICATED RADIO SHOW AT THE PET BUZZ AT AIRS SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. AND THEN IT GOES TO PODCAST, SOUNDCLOUD, ITUNES, EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO, YOU NAME IT, IT’S ALL THERE. CHARLOTT
