For the past several months, our sweet Sammy has been getting thinner and thinner. Well, strangely enough, after finding him (or him us) a few years ago at the height of the heat of a Las Vegas summer, he’s never really put on weight. However, he’s eaten like a horse, been checked numerous times at the vet, etc.

That’s what abandoning an animal can do to it. He used up all his potential stores of fat to the point that, no matter how much more he ate (eats), he just never put on weight. Underneath his coat, he “filled out” slightly. Now, unfortunately, he’s back to the skin and bones stage – moderate renal failure per vet tests.

Hence we have learned how to “water the cat” so to speak. I never foresaw having to IV anyone, not human or animal. But the process (if you have the right, amendable cat) is not that hard to do. Numerous VET videos exist online, especially in YouTube.

Just type in “hydrating a cat” or “how to hydrate a cat”. Having the knowledge beforehand, and being shown physically by our vet, has helped a lot.

With the heat unbearable, and it will be well into October most likely, it’s very important to make sure your “pets” (I really hate that term, they should be your “friends” of “family members”) require special attention. No matter where you are in the country!

On what can be considered the positive side, Sammy has taken to drinking from the bathtub faucet. The running water idea was clever, he seems very amiable to it, however, that also means there has to be someone home all the time, or within a short period of time to ensure he gets enough water.

I’m going to be looking at buying a cat drinking fountains (seriously) locally just as soon as I can find the time to get to any local pet store. I’ve done my research, now to find one that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!

Holiday weekends, regular weekends, and just regular ‘ol days getting up, getting dressed, and presenting yourself in your best light is always critical, right?

So why exclude your dog?

Let’s face it, dogs can get rather stinky and their itching and scratching most likely is a good indicator that it’s “bath time!” (Not to mention that being around your dog just might be affecting your own personal ode cologne, yikes!)

Granted, some dogs just hate baths, but now there’s a way to change all that (maybe they hate baths because you’ve got to give them so often, or the soap never rinses out and they stand there forever, or you haven’t taken the time to train them to love bath time, or…?).

Well starting today, all the dog washing hassle is flying out the door (and he or she will look so much more presentable at that picnic or family gathering, right?).

Dinovite has your answer! An all natural dog shampoo called Dogosuds® that rinses out so easily, doesn’t cause that dry, itchy skin other dog shampoos produce, and leaves you with a clean, shiny, fresh smelling pooch to present to your guests.

Plus long after the guests leave, you reap the benefits, too – your dog will continue to smell fresh and clean – which means so does the overall smell of your house, apartment, condo, RV, and you and your kids.

People love new car smells, now you can have that “new dog smell” as well

Here are just a few of the benefits to switching your new dog shampoo to Dogosuds®:

• Its long lasting, fresh and clean (wonderful!) smell
• It lathers and rinses out easily
• Its 100% pure essential oils heal and soothe
• Its a NATURAL FLEA DETERRENT (you gotta love that!)
• And… it even removes SKUNK odor!

There’s still time for this upcoming 4th of July holiday (and plenty of time, the rest of your dog’s natural life) to make Fido or Fifi happy, and your guests and your family, too

It’s bath time!
