When the weather turns warm there are certain things that must take place…
Roxie must go ride. It isn’t a case of the want to’s. It is a case of the HAVE to’s. She is like a big kid. She likes to stay home when it is cold but the minute the air turns warm, she just has to get out and let it all hang out…out the window that is. This day she was going to have a manicure and to see about some doggie eczema treatment
Hey, dogs get dry skin too ya know.

One thing I hate about Spring…Roxie needs baths more often. I have talked about Roxie’s aversion to bath time on here before, but you seriously cannot imagine just how bad it is. You mention the word bath and she hangs her head and runs to hide under the bed. I am not sure if someone in her previous life abused her in the tub or what, but it can be a real problem at times. Seriously, have you ever tried getting a 110 pound dog out from under the bed? It isn’t easy folks! Trust me on that one.

Then I found Caribbean Solutions. Caribbean Solutions offers products that are formulated without parabens and other forms of toxic allergens and irritants. Their products meet and exceed consumer demands for all natural, hypo-allergenic ingredients that deliver beneficial, safe and effective results…AND, they have a line of all-natural, biodegradable dog shampoos.
One of the things that I didn’t know about is that one of the things that causes dogs to have an aversion to baths is the smell of all of the chemicals typically contained in the dog shampoo. Did you know that? I know, common sense but I never thought about it.
I have used Caribbean Solutions dog shampoos on all 3 of my dogs this past week…and Bow Wow WOW is right! They smell wonderful and their coats are so much softer. The best thing…Roxie did great, Gabbie’s skin issues are GONE! And Abigail hasn’t been digging no where near as much. That folks, is just amazing. If you have dogs I seriously suggest that you try out Caribbean Solutions Bow Wow WOW line. You will truly be amazed at the difference.
On Roxie and Abigail I used:

Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Natural Dog Shampoos
YOUR BEST FRIEND DESERVES THE BEST
Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Natural Dog Shampoos – This shampoo required a synthetic blend fragrance, though very slight, we offer it because it smells awsome! To over compensate for the fragrance usage, we added real oatmilk extract to help soften fur and skin.
Sold in a huge 16oz bottle, this is the mildest, most gentle and natural dog shampoos you could use. We are soap specialists, and we spent a lot of time developing these natural dog shampoos to be the safest possible solution for your dog. It is as tearless as water, with the optimal pH of 7, the same as water.
We also added chammomile, aloe, green tea and green algae extract in our non-toxic shampoo, in addition to one of the best known SKUNK deodorizers in the world, also nontoxic of course. You won’t find a better natural shampoo for your dog. You won’t find a better shampoo period.
On Gabbie I used:

Peppermint Eucalyptus Natural Dog Shampoos
GIVE YOUR DOG A DAY AT THE SPA
Peppermint Eucalyptus Natural Dog Shampoos – Minty and soothing, this blend is known as a sinus clearer as well as skin soother. Peppermint imparts a cooling effect that comforts even problem skin. Please note that Peppermint has a distinctive feel. It WILL tingle and cool, which is something that dogs (and people) may not be used to, at first. It is generally considered a pleasant sensation, we just want you to know that it’s noticeable!
Sold in a large 16oz bottle, this is the mildest, most gentle natural dog shampoos you could ever use. We are soap specialists, and we spent a lot of time developing these natural dog shampoos to be the safest possible solution for your dog. It is as tearless as water, with the optimal pH of 7, the same as water.

I wish I had found this line of dog shampoos when Roxie got sprayed by that skunk a couple of years ago. She smelled so bad for weeks! But, I can honestly say that this is by far the best I have used on any of my dogs. Priced at $15.99 each bottle goes a long way. Also included in their line of dog products:

Lavender Rosemary Natural Dog Shampoos
CLEAN, FRESH DOGS ARE HAPPY DOGS
Lavender Rosemary Natural Dog Shampoos – Herbal and conditioning well known for their antisceptic and calming effect. Our blend contains precious peititgrain also, to enhance the benefits of the other essential oils.

Cedarwood Anise Natural Dog Shampoos
A HAPPY DOG IS A CLEAN AND FRESH DOG
Cedarwood Anise Natural Dog Shampoos – Warm, Woodsy, Comforting. Your dog has over 200 million scent receptors–you have 5 million. Dogs love to get a bath with our shampoos because they love the scent of the ingredients. Anise smells like licorice. Combined with cedar and a twist of sweet orange, this scent will help mask ‘wet dog’… so even your partner will appreciate it!

Your dog has been licking and chewing on a spot for the better part of a day. The spot has now become a raw, open sore that is possibly oozing fluid. Your best friend has a skin infection known to vets as Pyotraumatic Dermititus. Your dog has Hot Spots. Untreated, Hot Spots can spread and provoke a normally even-tempered dog to growl and nip when touched. Your dog needs Hot Spot Relief Gel.
Hot Spot Relief Gel will immediately begin to relieve and heal the problem when applied directly to the effected area(s). The combination of Natural Eucalyptus, Organic Aloe, and Australian Tea Tree oil will act quickly to heal irritated skin, close cuts/abrasions, and retard the itching. This gel is miraculous in its ability to relieve the misery caused from Hot Spots.
The common areas for Hot Spots are areas that dogs can lick or scratch, the feet and legs; the rump and flanks. The infection can occur on the ears, neck, and chest by way of the dog’s constant scratching.
I will be getting a bottle of the Hot Spot Relief Gel. We had a terrible issue with hot spots last summer and I do not plan to revisit that nightmare again.
For your dog shampoo needs I suggest Caribbean Solutions. Great products at great prices that smell great and are great for your dog and the environment. You might also want to have a look around at all of their other fabulous products! I will be telling you about some of them in the near future. Why? Because they are a fabulous company and I love their products and their concern for the environment.
Caribbean Solutions provided samples of Bow Wow WOW products to help facilitate theis post. I was in no other way compensated for this post and all opinions are those of my own.

I am finally just about to get recuperated from being away at the Blissdom conference. My laundry pile has shrunk form a mountain to a molehill, the dishes are no longer piled to the moon, my dog seems to no longer be a drooling mess. Oh, I think I forgot to tell you about that…I came home to my dog Roxie being in the throws of anxiety attacks and leaving slobbering messes everywhere she happened to be. It was really gross. She would just be standing there drooling all over every surface. She is a little bit attached to me and when I go away for any length of time she makes herself sick with anxiety. She worries over something happening to me and my never returning to save her from the psychotic throws of the rest of the family. Seriously. Of course when you have a 110 pound dog drooling constantly you are going to have some major cleaning to do, as in needing one of those Anilox roll cleaning thingys. Not that I have any clue what that is or if it would even work but it sounds good.
And, I have a few winner announcements to catch up on.
The Crescent Creation Gift Pack winner is…
#108 – Melody
The $25 Walgreen Gift Card goes to…
#349 – Heather C
Congratulations to you both!!
