Here is what a pet-tracker (who searches for lost dogs with her tracking dogs) says about Redi-Care:

"I tried RediCare this past weekend up in Massachusetts where there is a little lost cairn terrier. The area where he ran off is a protected wilderness area and the ticks are HORRIBLE (according to the lost dog's owner who had gotten 8 tick bites while out looking for him).

I put it on myself, my tracking dog, Salsa, and let the owner use it as well. WE DID NOT HAVE ONE TICK AMONG US after 4 hours of tracking!! I am extremely impressed and will definitely pass the word to my other Search and Rescue friends."

RediCare was developed for dogs and their handlers returning from Hurricane Katrina to relieve the discomfort of rashes, itching and skin disorders.

IS YOUR DOG AFRAID OF THUNDER?
DOES YOUR DOG BARK EXCESSIVELY?

Here are gentle tools that can help
those & other anxiety issues:

ANXIETY WRAPS & CALMING FACE WRAPS

ANXIETY WRAPS are a great tool that helps animals to cope and overcome their past and present issues. It aids an animal's ability to focus and remain calm, and compliments the use of gentle training methods.

The ANXIETY WRAP uses the technique called "Maintained Pressure" to aid in calming your animal by helping to calm the sensory receptors. It is similar to swaddling a baby or using a "Hug Box" to help calm autistic children.

Charley had a fear of thunderstorms. They caused him to drool, shake, & attach himself to his hu-Mom, standing and leaning hard against her during the entire storm. The first time an Anxiety Wrap was put on Charley at the start of a thunderstorm, he immediately stopped drooling and shaking. In less than two minutes he walked away from his hu-Mom, jumped onto a bed and slept through the entire storm! Since then, Charley sleeps through or otherwise ignores all storms, regardless of their ferocity!

An ANXIETY WRAP can help your dog with:

°
Fear of thunderstorms
°
Stop destructive chewing
°
Lessen or end aggression
°
Shyness or nervousness
°
End jumping
°
Fear of loud noises/fireworks
°
Fearful/fear biting
°
Sensitivity to touch
°
Emotional upset
°
Hyperactivity
°
Trips to vet or groomer
°
Car sickness
°
Upset if left alone
°
Release stress & tension

You may see a positive change in your dog in as soon as a few minutes, or it may take several times of wearing the wrap before you notice a change. Depending upon the behavior that needs modification will determine how long your dog will wear the Anxiety Wrap. It may be for only a few minutes for one dog, while others may need to wear it for hours.

The creator of the Anxiety Wrap offers consultation by email or phone free of charge to anyone who purchases a wrap, providing you personal instruction on how to use this tool to help change your dog's behavior

Hadley was a stray bichon who was found after he spent several months living on his own in the "big bad world". Now he must learn to trust again, and is quite scared of people, noises, movement, and touch. His Anxiety Wrap is helping him overcome those issues, and learning to be a calm and happy boy.

====================================

The CALMING FACE WRAP works on the same principle as the Anxiety Wrap, which is "Maintained Pressure". A dog's muzzle is loaded with receptors and maintained pressure effects those receptors. The patented CALMING FACE WRAP is comfortable with an easy clip release and wide range of adjustment.

Use the CALMING FACE WRAP for:

°

Unwanted barking
°
Destructive digging
°
Excessive scratching
°
Help lessen anxiety
°
Fear-based aggression

The CALMING FACE WRAP is often used in conjunction with the Anxiety Wrap
for even more anxiety relief.

BELLYBANDS
FOR THE "BOYS"
PANTIES
FOR THE "GIRLS"

Color/patterns of bellybands will vary since each is one of a kind.

Bellybands and Panties are used in different ways:

As an aid to housetraining
To keep your (or your friends, family, etc.) home from getting stained or smelly from marking or accidents
Helps older dogs or others with health issues that have lost bladder control

Bellybands and Panties will keep some dogs from urinating or marking indoors
since they do not like feeling the wet against their bodies.

If your dog does pee or mark, the urine is caught by the bellyband or panty and not your furniture.
Bellybands and Panties have kept "peace in the home", allowing many dogs to remain
with their families once the problem has been resolved.

We recommend using bladder control pads (i.e., Tena Serenity pads)
inside the bellyband since they absorb more liquid and will help keep the band clean. Bellybands and Panties are machine washable. Be sure to attach the Velcro ends before washing. Hang dry.

Pink Tie Dye Panties

Black w/Pink Roses Panties

Pink Camo Panties

Pink Gingham Panties

Above is a sample of some of the different prints of panties.
You will receive what prints are available at the time (which may or may not be shown here) .

Panties = $12.50 + $3.75 shipping*

Panties are made of 100% cotton or satin with wide elastic around the legs and waist,
adjustable Velcro closures, and are lined.

Bellybands come in a wide variety of colors, prints, etc.
You will receive what is currently available in the size ordered.
They are all handcrafted with cotton, cotton blends or cotton flannel.

To determine size of Bellyband, measure your dog in front of his back legs.
Use a cloth or paper tape measure.
Ensure the tape measure is slightly snug but that you can still slide your finger under it.
Order by the size you measure; extra length is automatically added for the necessary overlap.

BEAT THE HEAT!
with a
CHILLYBUDDY COOLING JACKET!!!


Lucy says "Thanks, Mom .... I LOVE my Chillybuddy Jacket!
Now we can play outside and I won't hide under the bushes to get out of the sun!"

Chillybuddy (patent pending) is a light-weight mesh cooling jacket designed specifically
to help keep a dog comfortable in hot weather and reduce harm from exposure to the sun.
The jacket's outer layer is made of woven plastic with an aluminized finish, a fabric originally designed for shade cloths. The outer layer reflects all wavelengths of light away from the surface. The jacket is lined with a cotton mesh that breathes.
Both layers allow air to pass through.

Chillybuddy jackets work even when DRY! This is important to those who do not want to wet a recently groomed bichon coat! On a 90° F day, a Chillybuddy jacket can lower the coat temperature from 145° F to 103° F!

If you soak a Chillybuddy in water to dampen the cotton lining before use, you can lower the dog's coat temperature by a further 20° F from evaporative cooling,
for a total reduction from 145° F to 83° F (a 43% decrease in coat temperature).
The degree of change will vary by color of coat
(black dogs may get a 50% reduction in coat temperature).

For pink-skin dogs like Bichons, a Chillybuddy jacket will protect the skin
under the dog's coat from sunburn.

Chillybuddy will also protect the dog's coat from bleaching by the sun
(especially important to show dogs)

Simple to put on, the Chillybuddy has adjustable velcro closures
at the neck and under the belly. You can attach a leash through a leash hole (connect to dog's collar or harness) or to the D-ring on the back of the jacket.

From the August 2007 edition of Whole Dog Journal's review of Chillybuddy:
"This coat is easy to use, lightweight, and it folds up and packs well.
The shade cloths I use for my tent and car are made of the same
kind of fabric, which really reflects heat, and the mesh circulates air well."
