Viva La Dog Spa's Berry Facial Wipes | Product Review
I have stumbled yet upon another dog product worth mentioning; the Berry Facial Wipes by Viva La Dog Spa.
The company's motto is, "Delightful products for the pampered pet and the indulgent parent who dotes on her furry companion." If that turns you off, keep reading. I don't overindulge my dogs, I have too many for plain pampering. The products I use also have to be practical and ideally eco friendly.
Berry Facial Wipes encompass all that I need, plus they are appealing to the eye, since they come in an adorable pink package with a cosmetic seal. The container holds 45 3" durable wipes made of excellent quality. They are saturated in a mild cleanser of water, aloe vera, witch hazel, chamomile, rosemary, raspberry and sage. Your pooch's coat will shine thanks to the pro-vitamin B5 (Panthenol) and allantoin that act like conditioners, both ingredients beneficial to the skin as well. The fragrance is gentle, pleasant, and not overpowering, leaving your dog fresh and clean.
Viva La Dog Spa recommends the use of the Berry Facial Wipes for customers who are afraid to wash their dog's face without getting soap in his eyes, and for those who like to wipe their dog's face after a meal. I also use them for tear stains and, in the case of small dogs, a full body clean up in between baths.
The packaging of all of Viva La Dog Spa's products is visually appealing, and they make excellent gifts. More important than the look, they are eco friendly. The solutions are biodegradable and the bottles they come in, made out of pre-recycling material, can be recycled anywhere. Furthermore, they are manufactured in a 100% solar powered facility in the United States.
Berry Facial Wipes: 4 out of 4 paws up
They are good for your dog, practical, stylish, convenient, and eco friendly while they don't break down in your hand. For use on our largest sixty-pound dalmatian mix, to the smallest two-pound teacup chihuahua, for use on both our cats and dogs, I am glad to have discovered this great product.

Clean+Green by SeaYu | Product Review
A product review for animal lovers made by animal lovers who also care about our environment. Review o-ver. Okay, maybe not so fast.
Two characteristics of our times are the increasing environmental consciousness and an obvious trend to really care for animals. Clean+Green targets the eco-friendly pet lover. Welcome to the animal blog-dom SeaYu! Where were you all this time?
Clean+Green's eco friendly products come in a variety of formulas, each product ozone safe, water soluble, biodegradable, and free of fragrances and masking agents. It is pet, child, and environment safe. Clean+Green is non-toxic, non-carinogenic, and is recyclable.
I'm writing this review from the standpoint of a rather large mixed cat dog household. Why is that so special? Not only are there ten pets sharing one roof (not including periodical rescues and fosters), but as we all know, cats and dogs don't always get along. The way this is mostly manifested is by MARKING! Every new fur-ball introduced to a mixed household necessitates the use of hard labor on the humans' part. So far, since my house is predominately "green", I've been using vinegar to neutralize pet urine at it's root. I do not like using harsh chemicals, on the other hand, I did cave in and bought ... whatever they sold at the local pet store. Not only did I feel guilty, most products didn't even work the way the label said.
As I type away, most of my furniture is outdoors, on the patio chairs. The cats went wild recently when I tried to introduce a family of four to the existing pack and tribe. There was little blood shed. There was lots of urine however. Now, as many animal lovers, I've been accused of overdoing it. I do not like to be criticized, so I made it one of my life's missions to get those people to zip it. The one thing that I focus on is odors! Whenever a friend stops by, they are put under the sniff test. I ask them to sniff hard and tell me if there are any lingering odors. So far, I've managed, yet, most of my furniture ended on the covered patio.
I had washed my couch pillows and extra large seat cushions with detergent. Sprayed them with products, used harsh chemicals, odor neutralizers . . . and ultimately, I still had to leave everything outdoors for a prolonged period of time, just to be safe.
After treating my urine soaked pillows with Clean+Green Carpet and Upholstery
, I saw the difference.
The directions on the spray can were clear: spray the affected area so that it is wet but not soaked. Clean+Green works by making contact with the odor. I knew I couldn't do just that. My problem had penetrated deeply. So, I soaked the pillows. The next morning we had lots of rain and the cushions were still wet. As soon as the sun came up the third day, I was stunned to find out that the urine odor was gone!
I love animals. I can't imagine life without my extended furry family, but I realize that without the proper product, my home too was bound to fall victim to nasty pet odors. Today, I am grateful say that I have finally found a product that works the way it claims while it is eco friendly.
The Clean+Green website has a store locator and lots of extra information. I also found that I can buy Clean+Green through Amazon, and I've already placed my next order.
What rating would I give Clean+Green by SeaYu? Almost a perfect ten. I'm very picky and found the aerosol spray to be a tad messy. This won't stop me from using this product in the future. I'm also going to order their Clean+Green Litter Box Cleaner and odor remover for extra clean air in my home. Another product I'm definitely getting as soon as possible, is their De-Skunk coat cleaner. There's a skunk living in my back yard and it's only a matter of time before my dogs get skunked, again.
I like being clean and green. How about you?
Clean+Green is so enthusiastic, proud, and sure about the performance of their product, that they offered to be the sponsors of our next pet photo contest. Three lucky winners get to see how well Clean+Green works.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly | Pet Photo Contest Info
The kittens are now a little over 3 mos old. The weigh over 5lbs and sadly they are all much bigger, heavier, and faster than me, Twinkie.
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
The Good
Puddles, the calico kitten
Puddles is mellow and sweet with vivacious outburst. She keeps to herself a lot unless she's in the mood to be petted. She's the runt of the litter, but when she gets a toy, beware; she'll growl and protect it. Most of the day, she lounges around looking beautiful.

The Bad
Charlie Chuckles (aka Trouble), the tuxedo kitten
The instigator! We probably shouldn't have changed his name from Trouble. He is nothing but. He is unruly and obnoxious. He thinks barriers are to be ignored and rules created to be defied. He gets along with everybody in the house and loves to play ball with Frankie, the chiweenie. He is also a talker. He is this litter's shining star.

Charlie is climbing over a 6 foot barrier to get to us dogs.
The Ugly
The Smudge! (aka, Clorox), the muted tortie
Mama's girl! She is attached to her mom's hip most of the day. She's taken the semi-feral traits of her mom as well. She's hard to catch, and seems to only tolerate the rest of us. She hisses at all of us dogs and the rest of the cats. Up close, her face looks like somebody squirted her with bleach.

And their mama:
Farrah, the feral ghetto kitty
Farrah, the feral ghetto kitty
Still an amazing mother to her kittens. She's still nursing them as well. Because the kittens' adult teeth are coming in, when she nurses she often jumps up cussing and correcting them. She's really vocal. She's getting used to M who she loves to follow around. She's tiny and will not eat until her kittens are done. Even when presented with her favorite cat treats, she would rather give them to her babies.
The tribe is thriving, now I'm counting on M to protect us from the monsters that keep charging at us. Meanwhile, our home is adorned with beautiful squirt bottles strategically located in every room.
Pet Photo Contest Information
Show Us Your Booty!
It's going to be a bootylicious contest open to all pets. This time, I will kindly request that there are no human entries, pretty please.
In the next couple of days, I will introduce you to our sponsors by posting a review about their eco friendly products.
I will post the pet photo contest rules and free giveways in detail right after that.
As always, if the topic inspires you, by all means, post about your booty and share with your furiends; I know that I was truly inspired by the Show Us Your Tongue hilarious posts. Oh, one more thing, if I get one more comment about Puddles' hiney, I'm going to have to break my rules and enter my own personal tush, and that's a threat! In any case, don't forget to take our Brown Newfie friends' brilliant advice: start doing your lunges.
Happy mooning, furiends!

Eco Friendly Products
It's the time to inspire awareness and appreciation for our Earth. As you all know, I'm a green dog living in a green home. When is earth day? Today, April 22nd. That's why I want do discuss a few eco friendly products to help with earth day activities. I decided to focus on poopy related products mainly. I'm so fed up seeing plastic bags on the hills where I hike. Frankly, I don't even see the need for poop baggies in nature. Just move the poo to the side and get on with your walk. Nature will take care of the rest. M is disgusted and upset because she often finds bags full of poop in out trash cans, on pick up day, when she goes to pull them inside the garage. We don't want poop in our garage, especially somebody else's. Ours smells like roses.
You ready to become more eco friendly? Start with buying eco friendly dog supplies. There are a several eco friendly products in the market. One is the Doggie Dooley 2000 Plastic Septic-Tank-Style Pet-Waste Disposal System. It's an environmentally safe in-ground system.
Our blog friends, Tiny Growl, have made their business to help with our environment. They have created the ScooPup Pocket, "A better way to pick up after your pup!" I was really hoping to win their G.A.B.E. giveaway, but now I'll just have to purchase one--money well spent.
Using the ScooPup Pocket
They even recommend biodegradable poop baggies
I too recommend biodegradable baggies. Check out Bags on Board Dispenser and Baggies!
Of course, on site composting is my favorite. You save resources by building soil. This is just for your flowers and not your veggies, still, an inexpensive and simple way to help out our environment and feel good about yourselves.
I think I'm going to go for a hike to check out the new growth in the burn areas. I feel the need to be outdoors to celebrate earth day. Hopefully, I won't encounter many plastic bags in my path.
Enjoy earth day!
