Enjoying the Convenience of Dry Dog Shampoo

Dry dog shampoo can be very convenient, whether your dog is sick, elderly, or just need a quick on-the-go bath. Not only is it convenient, but it actually gets down to business and get your pet smelling clean and fresh in no time. Say for example, you’re going on a trip away from home with your dog, and you don’t have the convenience of giving your dog a regular bath with water, you can easily apply a dry dog shampoo and get favorable results as if you had given him a normal bath.

Why Use a Dry Dog Shampoo

Bathing your dog the traditional way with water and shampoo is the best, but there are times when you just can’t do it that way. That’s when the use of shampoos that don’t require the use of water, comes in handy. However, it is important that you choose the right type of dry shampoo for your pet, because some of them will leave an unpleasant scent that would defeat the purpose of shampooing your pet in the first place.

Think Natural When Choosing a Dry Dog Shampoo

It’s always an added benefit when you use natural products on your pets, and in this case it would even be better, especially if your pet has sensitive skin. Choosing a natural pet waterless shampoo will help soothe your pet’s sensitive skin, while protecting the color of his coat. The natural ingredients are mild enough on the skin, but strong enough to get rid of pet odor, pet urine scent, fecal matter, and other dirt and debris.

Waterless Pet Shampoo for Dogs Who Suffer From Allergies

Using a natural waterless shampoo can also benefit pets that suffer from allergies as a result of inhaled irritants, which causes sneezing. There is no added chemicals to trigger your pet’s allergies, just pure natural ingredients. The fragrance is naturally mild and refreshing.

Keeping Your Pets Active and Happy in the Winter

Your pets still need to be active during the winter months. Unfortunately, in some areas,  it might be impossible to get outside and play in an open area. This is when it’s a great idea to start thinking out of the box. You can still keep your pets in good shape with regular exercise, while keeping them happy with products like portable pet playpens.

Alternative Exercise Methods for Pets During Colder Months

We all know how we sometimes feel in the fall and winter months. Some days there may be no sun at all, leaving us feeling low in spirit. Pets may feel the same way too, especially when they can’t get to go outside and play as they normally do. Portable playpens for pets can fill that gap. They will have their own little private space, but large enough to give them enough space to run around, play, eat, and sleep.

Finding the Right Spot to Put Your Pet Playpen

If you’re thinking about getting your pet a space-saving playpen for exercise, your next thought may be, where is the best place to put it. Since it’s a portable playpen, you can make it more fun by putting it in different locations each day. This will be more interesting for them, while keeping your furry friends even more entertained.

On the days when it’s not that cold, you can put it on your patio, or say you are in the laundry room and you want a little company, but don’t want your pets getting in the way, simply walk with your portable pet exercise playpen and place it in a cozy corner. Your pets can run around and stay active, while still seeing you through the meshed areas.

Pet Toys for Active Pets

While your pet is  in his or her playpen, make it even more fun by throwing a few interactive pet toys in the playpen. With these fun toys, there’s little time to be bored. They can play with it when they want, take a break, and then come back when they’re ready. They won’t feel isolated, but more like it’s their own little castle. Different types of pets can be entertained this way, using a pet toy that’s more suitable for their age, size, or species.
