At GoldenPetSupplies.com - going green is more than just a fad or a recent trend. Being eco friendly is a way of life for us here, and we love sharing ways to become more earth friendly with all of our customers. Our earth is our most precious resource and there's always something more that we can all be doing to preserve it for future generations. What you might have not thought about is what your dog can do to help too!

Many dog products aren't exactly the most eco-friendly, which why we've scoured the web to find the very best organic dog supplies. Not only are they better for the planet, but they're also better for your dog. If you want your pooch to live a healthier and greener life, why not try some of the following:

Stop Using Pesticides - Using pesticides on your lawn or garden might keep bugs away and let your plants flourish, but it gets into the ground water and can eventually contaminate our drinking water. It can also have more immediate harmful effects if your pet ingests it.

Buy Organic Pet Toys - If your dog is anything like some of the pets we have the joy of knowing, he probably loves to play! Some pet owners can go through piles and piles of toys with dogs who enjoy a more destructive play time. Those used toys can then sit in a landfill for years while they decompose. Your pet can also ingest harmful chemicals while they have their favorite toy in their mouth. Eco friendly dog toys not only eliminate the worry, but when they start to lose their luster you don't have to worry about

Go All Natural - Maybe your dog is prone to ear infections. Or maybe he's got some allergies and is always scratching. Whatever the problem, there are a ton of treatments out there to provide relief to sensitive dogs. But what kind of chemicals are in those products? There are all natural oils and remedies that you can use on your dog that will keep him healthy, like tea tree oil and shea butter.

Ther are literally thousands of ways you can go green this Earth Day. What are some of your favorite tips and tricks?

With Spring in full bloom, allergy sufferers around the U.S. are stocking up on tissues and Claritin, but they’re not the only ones that are suffering. Many dogs across the world suffer from various forms of allergy, and the warm weather brings a host of challenges. Different dogs experience allergies in different ways, so look out for any of the following symptoms:

Ear Scratching/Shaking Of The Head – This if often a symptom of inhalant allergies, similar to our seasonal allergies. Imagine if you had an itch that you just couldn’t reach! That’s how dogs often feel with seasonal allergies. Their ear flaps may become red and hot, and they’ll scratch to get relief until they hurt themselves.  You can try washing their ears with a cool cloth and an all natural anti itch spray, or an organic ear aid relief kit.

Rubbing Face On Carpeting – This can be both a symptom of inhalant allergies and food allergies, so it’s best to look for it in concert with other symptoms. If they’re scratching and rubbing their face, you might need to treat seasonal allergies. Also check for gastrointestinal problems that might be a sign of food allergies.

Chewing On Feet – Again, this can be a symptom of multiple types of allergies. You can treat the symptom with an itch relief spray, and you can also buy conditioning paw treatments that will help their paw pads stay healthy and clean. Wash their paws regularly to avoid build up of dirt and allergens.

Vomiting – If your dog is vomiting, or even if they have loose stool or a lot of flatulence, they might have a food allergy. It’s not uncommon for dogs to have problems with one or more of the ingredients in their food. The easiest way to test this is to give the dog a special diet and slowly test different foods until the culprit is caught.

With a little bit of care, you can effectively manage your  dog’s allergies and live a happy and healthy life together!
 

Looking for a great snow day activity that both you and your pet can enjoy? Think about mixing up some homemade dog treats that are sure to get your dog excited. Healthy and made with all organic ingredients, these treats are a healthy alternative to those store bought brands, plus, they're a nutritious way you can treat your dog while he's being trained. Here's our recipe: 

Ingredients:
1 cup of Cream of Wheat (Dry)
1 cup of Carnation Dry Milk (lowfat) (Dry)
One jar of organic carrot baby food
One jar organic turkey dinner baby food 

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Next, in a large mixing bowl, mix together ingredients until well combined. Then, using a spoon (size is your choice), drop the dough onto the cookies sheet, leaving enough room for each treat to spread out slightly. Bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned on the edges. Cool and serve to your pup. To store these treats, put them in an airtight container where they can be frozen for 3 months or refrigerated for 3 weeks. Enjoy!

A lot of times we hear dog owners say that they have a difficult time finding healthy or organic treats for their dogs of a smaller size. Or, they sometimes have a hard time finding smaller treats while their dogs are still puppies.

At GoldenPetSupplies.com, we have just the thing that you have been looking for.

With our selection of organic gourmet dog treats, you can find smaller snacks for your smaller canine pals that are both nutritious and organic. But just because these snacks are smaller in size, doesn't mean that your big dogs won't love them too.

Some of our organic gourmet dog treats come in boxes of large quantities. This is perfect for an owner of multiple dogs. These boxes also make a great gift for pet owners, or for the dogs themselves on birthdays or Christmas.

So make sure to check out the organic dog treats available at GoldenPetSupplies.com. How can you pass on healthy and organic treats for your dogs, be they big or small?

During the holiday season we are all likely to be doing more cooking in the kitchen preparing for what may seem to be endless get-togethers. While it is great to unite with friends and family, this is also a time of year that many of us begin to put on weight. This is also true for our pets as well. Pets often are the recipients of endless scraps while their owners are preparing for their parties. While giving pets a treat may seem innocent enough, extra weight on a dog causes numerous issues including joint problems, heart disease, and a reduced lifespan. Of course our pets deserve a special Thanksgiving Dinner just like we all do. Just be more cognizant of all the other treats that are being given while preparing for that special meal. 

Be sure to never allow your pet to eat any poultry bones without fail. All poultry bones easily splinter and can become lodged inside or perforate a dog’s intestines. Be certain to discard all bones after carving your turkey and place all bones in a tightly sealed bag. Be sure that the dog will not be able to gain access to the bag so that you can prevent a potential disaster from unnecessarily ruining your holiday plans on Thanksgiving day.
 
So, why should only humans get to have a special dinner on Thanksgiving? The answer is they shouldn’t!  Don’t forget to treat your dog to a great meal as well. The recipe below is also a great way to utilize some of the leftovers in your refrigerator that you might become tired of looking at after a while. This is an easy to make recipe for Turkey Patties. Your dog is almost certain to come back “barking for more.”

Yields 2 Turkey Patties

Ingredients
1 Cup shredded roasted turkey meat

¼ cup breadcrumbs

1 large egg, beaten

½ sweet potato-baked, skin discarded and potato coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
 
1. In a medium bowl, combine the turkey and the breadcrumbs. Mix gently with your hands, and then mix in the egg and sweet potato. Shape into two ½ inch thick patties.

2.In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until golden-brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Top with the cranberry sauce and let your canines enjoy!
