Pet Care with Stabilized Oxygen Proven Safe and Effective

New wound and pain management products formulated with stabilized oxygen have hit the market from organic pet by Chae. I picked up the three products that are designed to work together - Purifying Foam and Purifying Spray are the oxygen-based products that cleanse and sanitize any areas of wounds, abrasions, cuts, scrapes, etc. The products were field tested with veterinarians and with pets owned by staff members. They assured me they do no animal testing and that all of their products are made with no synthetic chemicals, hormone disruptors, carcinogens or any other toxic ingredients. All of these products carry a Certified ToxicFree® Product seal.

I found these products especially helpful during the hot summer months and while our pets were fighting off the biting insects like flies, mosquitos and ticks. I just finished using the Pet Recovery Spray. It's made with aloe vera gel, Helichrysum Essential Oils and other healing ingredients. My dog had been so uncomfortable, she was biting at her legs and her flanks. WOW, this spray calmed her down almost immediately and I could see the redness go out of the bites within 15-20 minutes!

Recipe for home made dog food

I've had a number of questions about safe food and how I make sure the food I am feeding to my four footed canine friends is safe - especially after the disaster with pet food over the past months. Here's a recipe that I got from a good friend in the middle of my efforts to remove all tainted or potentially dangerous food from my shelves. (No more 'parts and strange ingredients) It's easy and quick to prepare in advance. Give me some feedback if you try it.

INGREDIENTS
3 pounds minced chicken meat or ground hamburger
2 1/2 cups frozen vegetable blend (no garlic or onions), minced
4 cups rice
6 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup olive oil

DIRECTIONS
Place chicken, vegetables, and rice into a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Stir in water until the mixture is smooth. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes. Add oil. Cool completely before serving; store covered in the refrigerator.

I also add a couple tablespoons of cottage cheese right before I serve it, for the calcium. Some people add bone meal for the same reason.
