Reduce Shedding, Get Rid of Urine Stains

Two Products I've Grown to Love

I attended SuperZoo in Las Vegas last month and was amused to
see that the most popular displays for were basic dog products - getting
rid of urine odors and getting rid of excess hair.

Both products had popular booths where continually playing videos
showed how to use the products.

1. The first was Urine Off to remove odor and stains.

If you can stand the shock, get a black light and see how many
stains exist in your home even though you can't see them. Turn off
all the lights in your house and then run the black light over every room.

You can buy a hand-held light at www.amazon.com for about $19. The
battery operated Ultra Violet Urine Detector illuminates urine that
is undetectable to the human eye.

When you find a stain, use Urine Off to remove it. This spray on
product works on hardwood, carpet, concrete, tile, fabric and
everything else I've tried it on. This is now the product I recommend.

The spray bottle usually retails for around $20 but the cheapest
I've found it was $12.

2. My second favorite product is the FURminator to remove excess hair.
What a great product for spaniels and spitzes; e.g., King Charles
Cavalier Spaniel and Pomeranian.

This is a three-step de-shedding program. You use two solutions
to get the coat ready and then run a special tool over your dog's
coat to remove all the loose hairs. The tool, which has an unique
blade, grabs and removes (not cuts) undercoat quickly and easily.
It's amazing how much hair will fall on the floor!

It comes in three sizes and ranges from $35 to $60. Although you can
use the tool without the two solutions, the product does work better
if used together.

It was quite amusing that with all the expensive, fashionable and unique
products - many, many dog day spa products - the most popular were the
evergreen products for urine removal and excess hair!
