Hot spots, itchy skin and skin infections are the most common skin conditions in pets, the most searched pet-related terms on the internet and the prevailing reason for visits to the veterinary’s office. Today, DERMagic Skin Care for Animals unveiled the Lemongrass Spearmint Skin Rescue Shampoo Bar, its newest product for treating and preventing such skin issues.

All-natural and made from certified organic coconut, castor, sunflower, jojoba, and olive oils, DERMagic’s Skin Rescue Shampoo Bar is the first step in treating dogs with serious skin conditions such as mange, hot spots, alopecia X, and yeast infections.

Funeral For A Friend

Pet loss is one of my least favorite things to write about – probably because we’ve had so much of it lately. My own pack has decreased in number from 3 to 1 in only a few weeks.  Many of you know that we recently lost Roscoe and Tristan. Roscoe succumbed mysteriously from an unknown illness that took him in his sleep. He passed away with Cheiss and Kyra, the Cog, at his side.

No one likes to think about death. No one wants to consider what happens when we wake up to a beloved pet that has passed on in his or her sleep. Yet, when it happens, you will realize how important pre-planning is, and by then – it’s usually too late. A pet’s death is something that many people feel as deeply, and sometimes more deeply (according to this recent study) than the death of a person. There’s theories about why – some of them include the fact that while we can tell an animal anything, many people continue to keep secrets from others. No matter the reasons, it’s an event that none of us ever want to think about.
