| So
you share your home with animals, maybe a lot of them.
perhaps they outnumber the humans two-to-one, or maybe even
twenty-to-one! Now it's the holiday season and you know
that you will be soon have neighbors delivering cookies,
carolers demanding shelter from the cold winter and family
members dropping by unannounced. Under normal
circumstances, this could all be avoided, but it is, after
all, the holidays. You want to be charitable or Santa
Paws won't bring you anything. We want to help you have
a house that you can be proud of! The staff at
PetsWeekly has searched high and low for the ultimate best
products to get your house in tip-top shape for all the winter
visitors that you will have. So - read on, and learn
about the best products, and the best hints, for a happy,
warm, and animal smell-free home! |
| Urine
Removal:
There is a difference between urine
removal and stain removal.
Before you drag out the steam cleaners, you will need to
completely remove the uric crystals which are the things
responsible for creating odor. There is only one product
that we know of which does this effectively. Prices
will vary according to the formulation (dog or cat)
and size that you choose. However, this product is worth
any price. Created by Bio-Pro,
Urine-Off can be a little
tricky to find. Check out their site
for the location nearest you, or buy online.
The use is simple: just spray on the new (or ancient)
stain and allow it to dry. This product will penetrate wood,
mortar and even concrete, but is safe for all fabrics
including leather. Follow
their instructions and you will have no problems at all! |

Floor
and Upholstery:
After you have removed the uric crystal, you can begin the
actual cleaning! We
have several products that we use for this. If there is a
stain involved, one of our favorites is Get
Serious!.
This product removes just about any type of stain known to
man, including those left from hairballs, blood, and all other
manner of disgusting things. |
| Floor
and Upholstery (contd.): Our
other favorite "general cleaner" for floors and
upholstery is a new one that we just found created by Alpha
Lamda. They have created several new products that
we have quickly fallen in love with!

Your
Pet's Dental Hygiene:
After you get the carpets and upholstery under control, you'll
want to be sure that they don't get out of control
again. Short of not owning pets, which of course is not
an option for a true animal lover, you may have to get your
pets in top shape. We recommend starting from the mouth
and working back! To do this, begin with a specialized
oral care spray from PetzLife.
This oral
wash and gel will help prevent tooth decay and
oral disease in all of your pets, and will keep their breath
smelling great! At only $39.95 for a month's supply, it
is a lot cheaper than a surgical dental cleaning! |
| Your
Pet's Coat: Next you'll want to turn your attention to
your pet's coat. It's important not to bathe your pet
too often, as it can strip out the much needed oils in their
coats and create a dull, lifeless look as well as skin
problems. So during the cold winters, try out these
great products! For a quick "waterless" bath, check out "Dry
Dog Instant Clean" with Aloe and Kiwi
oils, by Happy
Tails. Interested in just a quick
clean up before company arrives, or before you head to the
veterinarian? This is the product for you! Lambert
and Kay's Doggie
Cologne Drops. Just dab a few drops at
the base of your dog's neck and you'll have the
sweetest-smelling pooch in town! |

| Automobile
Cleanliness: Lots
of you will be in the sleigh heading over to grandma's house
for dinner, and if you take your pets along for the ride, you
will want to be certain that they are not only clean
along the way, but secure as well! We have some
fantastic items to help you keep your car clean and your pets
safe. Canine

holidays. If you're looking for something to just help
