The Bite:

That’s ruff. But no need to lie, cheat, or steal to clean ’em up; instead, just tame your best-loved brutes with organic shampoos, breath-fresheners, and flea-fighters.

The Benefits:

Keeping ne’er-do-well creepy-crawlies crawling elsewhere. Natural but effective treatments keep fleas and other pests at bay.
Putting health fur-st. Many conventional pet cleaning products use pyrethroids, known brain toxins.
More pet-table coats. Most commercial cleansers contain more than 50% ethyl alcohol, which dries out Fido’s skin.

Personally Speaking:

Jen's cat Froggy is so into getting brushed that Jen once accidentally brushed him 'til he was completely naked on his right shoulder blade.

Wanna Try:

Cyber Canine Herbal Ear Cleaning Blend - clear ear goo with natural oils such as chamomile and goldenseal ($15/1 ounce).
Only Natural Pet All-in-One Flea Remedy - use its nontox minerals on your pet, on the carpet, or in your yard to get rid of fleas ($15/8 ounces).
Cloud Star Buddy Wash - rub-a-dub-dub, all natural suds that smell like lavender ($10/19 ounces).
Bowser Breath Herbal Breath Drops - just a few drops of this fennel, parsley, and peppermint formula knocks out dog breath ($5/.5 ounces).
Evercare Magik Brush - lint-roller that removes fur from your duds - and you dont have to replace the lint tape all the freakin' time ($3).

Cocktail Fact

In Napoleonic France, royal dog groomers used hot-rollers and wax on pups to create tonte en macarons, a cascade of coiled hair first worn by wife of Napoleon III, Princess Eugénie.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters opt for a 32-ounce bottle of natural flea killer instead of a synthetic-based one, we'll keep the weight of 2,000 Maltese pooches in potentially bad chems outta circulation.
