What’s In The Ultimate Dog Easter Basket?

Obviously, you won’t put chocolates in a basket for dogs, since it contains caffeine and theobromine, both of which are highly toxic. And, you don’t want to use plastic Easter grass because it can cause an intestinal blockage if your dog swallows it. Here are our picks:

Andis Pro Grade Grooming Tools

Access to groomers is limited in most parts of the country right now, making it more important than ever to perform a basic grooming routine at home. First up, the Andis Pro-Grade Cordless Nail Grinder will make a quick and easy task of keeping your dog’s nails trimmed and smooth. Cordless operation means you can trim nails wherever your dog is most comfortable. And, 6-speed operation and assorted file attachments allow you to customize for any dog’s nails. Best of all, the Cordless Nail Grinder is a perfect alternative for pets that hate having their nails clipped, it’s painless, fast, and safe—no more clipping too close to the quick!

Also included is an Andis deShedding Tool. This little tool is absolutely amazing! Your dog will love being brushed with the handheld tool and you’ll love that it reduces shedding by up to 90%! The unique shape and tooth pattern removes loose hair without causing damage to the top-coat or scratching your dog’s delicate skin. Use a few times a week to dramatically reduce shedding in heavy-shedding breeds. We tested this simple tool just two days after using a popular fur-reducing brush and were astounded at how much undercoat and loose hair was simply brushed away. We give four enthusiastic paws up to this amazing little tool!

Dogit Stuffies Toys

Of course no Ultimate Dog Easter Basket is complete without an assortment of fun new squeaky toys! Dogit Stuffies dog toys feature a quirky cast of woodland, jungle, and barnyard characters that will be sure to keep your dog active and engaged for hours on end. Your dog will adore the raccoon and monkey toss and tug toys, made from durable and soft fabrics, the flat piggy filled with fun crinkle, and, of course, the long stick bunny and pig in colors perfect for fetching this spring.

EarthKind Stay Away Rodent Pet-Friendly Pest Control

Did you know that rodenticides and insecticides are among the top 10 household toxins that poison pets every year? Insect and rodent poisons can be just as toxic to our curious pets as they are to the pest itself. Common active ingredients include long-lasting anticoagulants, which can prevent animal’s blood from clotting, Cholecalciferol, which can lead to kidney failure in animals, and Bromethalin, a neurotoxin that can result in tremors, seizures, and paralysis. With pets being great mice catchers, they risk being second-hand poisoned by the rodent/insect, too.

So, as we gear up for spring, it’s time to choose pest prevention that doesn’t put our beloved pets in harm’s way. And we can do that by choosing pest control that’s safe for our pets, like the products from EarthKind, a USA-based pest control developer, designer and bio-manufacturing pioneer. They’re on a mission to “preserve the good, prevent the rest” by developing natural proactive alternatives to protect the spaces where we live, work and play from pests and odors. Our Ultimate Dog Easter Basket includes EarthKind’s Stay Away Botanical Rodent Repellent.

DERMagic Shampoo and Conditioner Bars

Diatomaceous Earth is a fine white powder made by microscopic water creatures that make silica-based shells for themselves. These tiny shells fall to the bottom of lakes and oceans over millions of years, accumulating in massive white deposits that are then mined and crushed to a fine powder. Combining this element with a proprietary blend of essential oils, bathing with the DERMagic Diatomaceous Earth Organic Shampoo Bar by Mendota Pet provides an anti-microbial, calming and therapeutic effect for dogs with both dry and oily skin. In addition, it is completely safe, using no toxins, preservatives, chemical insecticides, sulfates or other irritants that can aggravate sensitive skin.  

If you’ve never used a shampoo bar for your dog’s baths before, you’re in for a treat! When you have a wriggly pup in the tub, one hand does double duty with a shampoo bar! DERMagic bars lather beautifully with no sulfates, rinse easily and cleanly, they’re portable meaning no more spills, and they smell wonderful. One 3.5 oz bar will outlast a 12-ounce bottle of liquid shampoo for a great value too!

One more thing:

While we think celebrating Easter with your dog is a perfect way to spend the holiday, it’s important to be aware of a few deadly dangers that are common at Easter. No one wants to spend Easter Sunday in the animal emergency room!  

· Watch out for diet treats. It may seem like a great idea to give Fido sugar-free candies and cookies, but you could actually be poisoning your pet. Xylitol an an artificial sweetener that is harmful to your pooch and can cause a radical drop in your pet’s blood pressure, cause liver damage, and worse, death.

· Keep chocolate bunnies out of reach. Keep Fido away from chocolates, especially the dark ones. These delights contain theobromine which, although harmless to humans, can be lethal to your dog, resulting in increased heart rate, shaking, seizure, and death.

· Avoid grapes and raisins. Health conscious parents often fill plastic eggs with grapes or raisins in place of candies. Although many dogs can eat grapes and raisins without suffering any ill effects, others can end up afflicted with kidney failure and even death after consuming just one. Best to skip these sweets altogether and not find out one way or the other.
