Eco-Care – a TOP new GREEN pet product on Sale at GRpet.com

Housebreaking your new puppy can seem like a chore.

Eco-Care Puppy Training pads make a tough job easier with a carefully blended attractant to encourage your puppy to eliminate on the pad and not your carpets. For the first few weeks, when you cannot watch your puppy, confine him to an area with easy to clean floors such as tile, lament or wood. Place the pad on the floor as far away from his food/water and sleeping area as possible. He will quickly learn to pee on the pad, thanks to the special attractant. If your puppy is still having accidents, watch him closely and place him on the pad as soon as he starts to potty.

Timing is crucial. If you miss, you must wait for your next opportunity because you cannot teach him to go on the pad after the fact.

With a little time and a lot of patience, your puppy will be using the pads in no time!

Convenient and easy to use, Eco-Care Puppy Pads have a super absorbent polymer core, which converts liquid into gel to prevent leakage. They also feature a Triple-Action attractant that actually encourages dogs’ instinctive marking behavior for the quickest results. This carefully blended attractant uses a mixture of synthetic “marking” pheromones and attractant scents that encourage puppies to eliminate on thepad.

Eco-Care Training Pads are ideal for indoor dogs, puppies or sick dogs that can’t be walked during the day. Also great if you have to leave your dog alone for long periods of time.

Simple Solution’s alternative to their original pads. The innovative construction is created with groundbreaking technology that actually reduces landfill waste and maximizes absorption. Featuring an absorbent top sheet to prevent messy tracking, these innovative pads also include odor neutralizers to eliminate urine odors and advanced polymer technology to turn liquid into gel. The Eco-Care goal is to reduce 400 tons of landfill waste annually while helping you care for your pet. The Eco-Care training pads are made with 85% recycled fiber.

How do I get rid of nasty litter smells?

There are few smells worse than the smell of cat litter lingering on long past it’s expiration date and unfortunately that expiration date comes about 24 hours after the offending act.  Caring for your cat’s litter box is not a chore to be missed.

Here are a few quick tips:

  1. Use scoopable litter and scoop twice a day. Regular scooping gets rid of the offending odor. As you scoop, add litter as needed to ensure that your cat box has a good layer for burying. After you scoop, you may want to sprinkle the top of the litter with either baking soda or the Ultimate Litter Box Odor Destroyer, even if you’re using an odor control little.
  2. Once a week, dump out all the cat litter and thoroughly clean the floor around the cat litter pan. Keeping the litter pan on tile or ceramic floor can help out with litter odor problems that are coming from carpet or a rug around the box.  If you have the box on a throw rug – make sure that this rug is washed once a week, too. Scrub out the cat litter box with a disinfectant or with white vinegar before you replace the litter. Make sure that everything around the litter box is clean. As you know, it’s easy for a cat to get urine outside the box, too. You can also vacuum up scattered litter before you put the box back.
  3. Use the layered trick:  Before you put the litter box back, add a thin layer of litter and then a layer of baking soda, carpet and room deodorizer or litter box odor control product. Then add another layer of litter and then finish with another layer of your odor control mechanism. This way, as your cat scratches after eliminating, they’re infusing odor control all through the litter.

Have you tried plastic cat litter box liners?

Plastic liners work much like garbage bags. You line the litter box with the plastic and then when it’s time to do the weekly dump, you just gather up the liner like a garbage bag, tie it off and throw it away. With these liners, you should have little scrubbing to do, since the cats are not going directly into the box.

 

How Will Birds Find My Feeders?

Wild birds find food by sight.

Place feeders in easily seen areas. Be patient and the birds will come.

In order to have many birds on a frequent basis – it can take a year or two of continuous feeding, depending on your geographical area and the migration patterns of the birds.

Birds are constantly searching for food sources. If you don’t seem to be attracting birds, make sure you have the right food. If you purchase inexpensive mixes containing a lot of milo, millet and corn, you may not attract the more desirable songbirds.

If you have a good food available and still are not attracting birds, try tying a piece of tin foil on top of the feeder or purchasing a feeder with a bit of copper on it. A little glint from copper or foil will catch their eye.

Open water will sometimes attract birds more than a bird feeder.

Mealworms can be fed to birds all year round, in very cold weather or very dry weather.
