Dexter, my dog, loves hiking and running in the woods whenever possible.  One of the worst things in the world though is when he is SO uncomfortable when he gets swarmed with all kinds of flying critters. I HATE to see this!  I ant him to be enjoying the outdoors without things buzzing around his head or body.  This DIY All Natural Outdoor Spray for Dogs forms an annoyance free bubble around him so that he can concentrate on the things he loves best. That would be hiking, slogging through muddy puddles, and laying in the sun all day long like a beached whale. Now he can do this safely and we can all relax! 🙂

categories: Dexter Dog, DIY Projects

Does your dog need to get bathed frequently? Do they have dry, itchy, or flaky skin? Make this DIY Natural and Soothing Dog Shampoo to promote healthy skin!If you own a dog, you know how stinky they can get. They can also have other issues like dry, itchy, or flaky skin.  Washing them too often with commercially made shampoos that contain unpronounceable synthetic chemicals can often irritate their skin and cause them further discomfort. Combat many of these issues with this super simple DIY Natural Soothing Dog Shampoo.

I’ve had my fair share of days where Dexter will come home from a hike with mud up to his elbows and/or his face and nose covered in dirt. Since my husband and I are “suckers” and Dexter is allowed on all of our furniture and on our bed, there is no way he’s coming in the house dirty and smelly… (more…)

DIY Pill Pockets {for dogs}

categories: Dexter Dog, DIY Projects

Pup won't eat their pill? Make these DIY Pill Pockets using two ingredients. Use these as treats as well since they have minimal ingredients.
If you own a dog ,  you have most likely have or will have to give them some kind of medicine at point or another. Sometimes they eat it, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes you can hide it in their food, and sometimes even that doesn’t work.  Sometimes you are chasing them around the house only to have open their mouths and drop the pill down their gullets.  Getting your dog to eat a pill could take A LOT of work!   I’ve used commercially made pill pocket in the past to trick my pooch, but those scare me for several reasons. The ingredients in them are a bit questionable. What kind of synthetic chemicals or gelatinous material am I giving to Dexter dog?!?! Also, Dexter is on a restricted unprocessed food diet. (check out The Honest Kitchen diet I feed Dexter HERE!) So giving him something with all of those weird ingredients, is not something I’m comfortable with. I decided to make these DIY Pill Pockets using two ingredients. I also use these as treats since they have minimal ingredients and Dexter loves them so much.  Thanks to my great friend Jess for sharing this amazing recipe with me! Now, I can share it with the world and all the furbabies out there…. (more…)

DIY All-Natural Toothpaste for Dogs

categories: Dexter Dog, DIY Projects

This DIY Natural Dog Toothpaste is all natural and effective. It is SAFE and free of synthetic-chemicals, colors, and additives that commercial ones have.

If you have a dog, you know that their breath can be SO bad! There have been times that Dexter has sent me running in the other direction after breathing on me, gasping for fresh air.  Why is the case? Dogs have the same issues as humans when it comes to their mouths.  If the plaque, tarter, and bad bacteria aren’t cleaned out of their mouth often regularly, tooth decay, bad breath, and a number of other problems can present themselves.  I have made this DIY Natural Dog Toothpaste to use with Dexter.  I wanted to use an all natural paste that was effective without allowing him to ingest the ones sold commercially These are usually laden with synthetic-chemicals, colors, and additives. In fact, the last tube of doggie toothpaste contained about 20 ingredients, some of which I couldn’t pronounce the names of.   In about 3 minutes flat, I whipped up a batch of this DIY Natural Toothpaste. Everyday (I like to say everyday but in reality- every few days) I “brush” Dexter’s teeth to help them stay pearly white, and to not scare me away with his breath. 🙂 (more…)

The Honest Kitchen food changed my dog’s life…..

categories: Dexter Dog

 

I changed Dexter's food to The Honest Kitchen brand, a dehydrated

If you know me, you know Dexter, my dog. He is my world! I love my furbaby, and will do anything to make him the happiest/ healthiest pup around. About 8 months ago though, I addressed persistent problems that were occurring and driving Dex MAD!!! He seemed to have constant ear infections (yeast), “frito feet” (yeasty paws), itchy/ dry skin, and an itchy back end. My vet Heather O’Leary told me that all these problems would most likely be eliminated by changing his nutrition to a raw diet- something I was completely intimidated to do. I changed his food to The Honest Kitchen (THK) brand, a dehydrated “raw” diet, and it truly changed his/ our WORLD! I need to share this information with you!  (more…)

Winter will be here soon, and Dexter’s will be ready to take on the elements! Each year, winter conditions reek havoc on his pads and paws.  Each morning before going to work, Dex gets a walk.  The salt from the road often dries the bottom of his pads, sometimes causing cracks and discomfort. After work, Dex usually gets to romp around in the woods and on the trails, and that has its own issues.  If it is snowy and icy, snow balls up in between his toes and his feet get cold and painful.  This DIY PUP PAW CREAM prevents all of that!  With the use of a few ingredients, a protective, moisturizing barrier is formed, keeping Dexter’s paws safe and healthy!
