The trees are greening out and we’re all shaking off those winter blues. And we’re also noticing the results of letting the dogs go in the back yard all winter: nasty, yellow burn spots. Lawn burn results from the pH and high nitrogen in your dog’s urine. Severe spots may need to be dug up and replanted. The best way to avoid all that work is to prevent them in the first place! Out top products are:

GrassSaver

GrassSaver Tablets - GrassSaver is a healthy, tasty food supplement for dogs to help prevent yellow burn marks on your lawn. This unique formula contains a synergistic combination of B-Complex vitamins and amino acids. You can read more on their website here.
Dog Rocks
They’re back!
Dog Rocks - These 100% natural Australian product filter out impurities such as tin, ammonia, and nitrates. These impurities are usually passed out through urine, and when grass comes in contact with these elements it results in those nasty burn marks. Find out more here.

 

With very little work, you can make sure your lawn stays lush and green all year long!

Yet many don’t stop to think about the reality of a pet rabbit, and, over the next few weeks, as the excitement and novelty of the new pet begins to fade, the rabbit gets less of the attention, care, and love that it needs.

A few basic facts about rabbits:

1. They are not a short term pet. - Rabbits can live up to 10 years (We see rabbits that are 13 or 14 years old).; this is a major commitment in time, money, and energy, and should not be made on a spur of the moment idea.

Read the full article on our website.

We are holding our annual rabbit amnesty for Easter and will not be selling any rabbits from March 25th through April 7th!

Rabbits make wonderful companions and getting one should be an informed decision. Have any questions? Stop by and talk to our well trained staff and check out our caresheets on rabbit care and feeding.

Our thought is that if you can get their diet close to what they wouldStella & Chewy's Logo eat in the wild, the healthier they are going to be in our home. (Our experience is that that are happier, too!) And what is closer to their natural diet than raw – freeze-dried or frozen? These minimally processed diets are very easy to feed, and can be used alone or as a supplement to kibble and canned diets. They are incredibly healthy, too: since they go through very little processing, they retain all their natural nutrients and enzymes. Stella & Chewey’s can be used to help encourage picky eaters and as rewards for good behavior. It makes a great way to add some variety to their diet, too.

For every one who’s already using these diets, it’s your lucky month! For those of you who’ve never tried your cat or dog on a raw/freeze dried diet, now is a great time to start! Using the in-store coupons, you can:

  • Save $2 on any freeze dried dinner,

  • Save $2 on 3 lb bags frozen dinner,

  • Save $4 on 6 lb bags frozen dinner, or

  • Buy any 4 pouches of single serve Stella & Chewey’s dinner for cats, get one FREE!

Head over to Stella & Chewey’s for more on this great food! You can also stop by and speak to any of our staff about why raw diets may be the best thing for your cat and dog.
