Non-Toxic Pet Care

These two Golden Retrievers are answers to my selfish, frivolous prayers.  I had prayed for Ginger, even had her name picked out, for 15 years!  I absolutely feel so very blessed by these guys, and so unworthy of such a beautiful gift by God.  Yes, we've had children and I felt even more blessed, but our children are adults now and on their way in each of their own life pursuits, so now is the time the Lord decided to bless us with these two goofballs.

We have 5 furry family members--Pickles the cat is 16, Biscuit is 13, Gus is 6, Ginger is 4, and Sully is 3.  It makes for a very comical, sometimes loud, but very snuggly day--every day. :)

When I knew we would be getting Ginger in 2016, I started researching even more about the breed, care, and training.  Now, we've had dogs all of our lives, so we knew how to train them, but Golden Retrievers are different.  They're super smart, extremely loyal, and hate to be left alone by their humans.  They also, as a breed, have a very high rate of getting cancer at a young age.  

This scared me to the point where I knew I needed to do something about it, but I didn't know the answer at the time.  

Fast Forward 2 months and I started with my first round of bronchial pneumonia due to sitting and recovering from surgery, not moving, not doing a lot, but just what was necessary while my sweet Ginger snuggled me at every moment, even at 8-10 weeks.  

After recovering from that bout of bronchial pneumonia, a few months later, I came down with it again, then a few months later, again.

NOT FUN! 

So we started looking at our environment, cleaned all our duct work, continued using diffusers and the best oils on the planet, but...

What about our cleaners?  

As time went on, I started prayerfully considering the cleaning supplies in our house.  A dear friend of mine suggested looking up every ingredient and googling, "Dangers of __ingredient name__" and boy was THAT eye-opening!  

I started remembering about the cancer risks for my dogs at that point and thought, "If I switch to this cleaner, then the toxic ingredients in those other cleaners will not affect them adversely since they're not walking around on that yuck!" 

Win-Win!!!

So, since that time, I've been changing out their shampoo, the cleaners in our home, their treats, and just being ultra vigilant about what we feed them.  

The shampoo that I use, I can buy one bottle and split it in to 3 bottles, then dilute with water, making it last 3x longer.  It smells fantastic, makes their coat super soft, and there has not been any skin issues using it with any of my dogs.  It contains the following essential oils:

*Lavandin

*Lemon

*Geranium

*Citronella

*Northern Lights Black Spruce

*Vetiver

The cleaner that I use, I've switched completely over to it--replacing my window cleaner, multipurpose cleaner, toilet cleaner, bath-tub cleaner, sink cleaner, counter, degreaser, vehicle, floors, carpeting, upholstery, as well as cleaning their kennels and their bedding.  It's phenomenal!  It smells really good too--like Christmas in a bottle!  It contains the following essential oils:

*Clove

*Lemon

*Cinnamon

*Rosemary

*Eucalyptus Radiata

I am so very passionate about using these products, especially for our family as well as our pets because they are made from the BEST essential oils on the planet, they're hyper-organic (meaning they're farmed without chemicals for 50+ years), and they're made for a purpose--not a profit.  I love the Integrity of this company and I know you will too.
