2. Use all natural cleaning products free of toxic chemicals.
3. Choose eco-friendly pet grooming products made without phosphates, sulfates and other chemicals.

We all want our dogs to be happy and most importantly, healthy. My dog has a food allergy to chicken, so I am very careful about what I give to him. As a result, my eyes are always open for vegetarian treats for my dog.
I found a website called Bluedogbakery.com, that makes not only vegetarian treats, but they are low fat too. All the treats made by the bakers at Bluedogbakery.com are all natural and contain no animal by-products, artificial flavorings or colorings and no artificial preservatives. This stuff is about as healthy as you can get.
Bluedogbakery.com makes treats for all size dogs. I especially like the small treats. They are easy to take on the run and they are great to stuff into my dog's favorite toy. If you are a new puppy parent, theses treats are just what you need to help in training.
You can purchase these terrific treats at various stores. Check out the Bluedogbakery.com website for a complete listing.
A little over a year ago, I found out that my dog has a food allergy. Every time he ate chicken, he would get sick. It wasn't fun! I changed his food to an all vegetarian diet. But, I was still having trouble finding treats that were easy on his stomach. I found a website called Henryandsons.com and they specialize in making all natural, vegetarian and vegan treats for dogs. Henryandsons.com dog treats do not contain any meat, chicken, pork or fish products. In addition, they also do not contain any lard, animal by-products, anything artificial GMO ingredients, added salt, wheat, corn, soy or chemical preservatives. In other words, this stuff is GREAT for your dog. Their treats come in a variety of flavors... each one delicious. My dog especially likes the sweet potato flavor. Easily digestible and allergy sensitive formulas are also available. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, or you just want to give your dog the very best, try the treats and biscuits from Henryandsons.com. Your dog will keep coming back for more.
My dog Maggie got some awesome gifts for the holidays... but her favorite by far were the Chix and Pork Riblets by Pet 'n Shape. These all natural, healthy treats are perfect for her as she loves to chew.
I love Pet 'n Shape because their treats are all natural and healthy, with 100% natural chicken and duck breast. They have:
NO additives or coloring NO preservatives Not affected by Recalls LOW in calories LOW in fat LOW in cholesterol HIGH in protein
There are a number of awesome products that they offer so take a look to see what is right for your pet.

Stone-Healing.com offers a wide variety of holistic solutions for pets and their people. The possibilities for stone-healing are endless. The theory behind stone-healing is that all things vibrate at a different frequency. The goal is to choose a stone that's vibrations help heal your pets ailments. Harold tried the yellow jadeite.
Yellow jadeite represents aspects of protection and favorable fortune and harmony for your pet. One of the benefits of yellow jadeite is its ability to treat disorders of the reproductive organs. Harold has no more reproductive organs so it can't help him there. Other benefits include assistance in the reduction of pain in the sides, hip and legs as well as providing stabilization. I don't speak dog so Harold can't tell me if the stone is helping but it is an attractive accessory.
Beyond the medicinal possibilities the stones are cute accessories for any dog. They come in three sizes: teacup, small and large/medium. Remember that each stone is one of a kind, and no two stones are alike. Each unique healing stone charm is accompanied with its own silver clasp and "love my dog charm" that attaches to your pets collar ring. Although it is tempting to get the color that you like the most, pay attention to the healing properties each stone provides. This product is available for your cat or horse companions too!
