The very real dangers of flea collars are under appreciated and put human and pet health in harm’s way. Today we share a bit about the nefarious drug companies behind this giant pet poison industry and expose the facts about this (sadly) common yet unsafe practice. It is our hope that awareness will cause you to remove your pet’s flea collar before this episode is over.

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing method that uses universal life force energy to provide healing support for your pet. Reiki supports your pet’s health on all levels ~ body, mind and spirit ~ balancing your pet’s energy, reducing stress and anxiety, healing physical and emotional pain and is so appropriate to use during times of transition such as overnight boarding and daycare.

Reiki also helps address your pet’s behavioral issues and challenges. If your pet is suffering with chronic pain or disease, Reiki  helps to reduce pain, support the body’s natural healing process and, at end of life, aid your pet through the transition.

Reiki for your pet is a bit like having a good friend who is there for their comfort. Animals respond very well to Reiki healing – they seem to sense that humans are helping them. 

Regular Reiki treatments provide maximum benefit for your pet’s total health and well-being.

Put your cat glasses on and head over to the Dollar Store where you can rustle up some cool finds for your cat for just a buck. Because these items are not designed specifically for cats and cat safety, please use these toys during ‘Adult Supervised Playtime’ only. This makes playtime safe and extra special because the toys aren’t available all of the time, and when they are – your cat associates them with having fun with you.

 And ‘no’ we are not affiliated with any Dollar Store in any way.
