Pet Health Company, Healthy Brands for Life, Releases Ear Care Solutions for Dogs and Cats

Nixa, MO (PRWEB) March 29, 2013

Ear problems are very common in pets, with most suffering from this condition sometime in their life. If not properly treated, ear problems can progress to painful infections for the animal and costly vet trips for the pet owner. VetraCare Pet has created two new, over-the-counter products, VetraCare Pet Ear Rinse and Vetra Care Pet Ear Wipe, to help clean debris and wax from pets ears, control odors, and reduce soreness and irritation in the ear canal.

According to a survey by Veterinary Pet Insurance, dog ear problems are the second leading cause of veterinary visits. Wet ears can predispose pets to ear infections, making routine cleaning and drying after a bath, swimming or outside play a necessity for healthy ears.

A small amount of light brown waxy secretion in the ear canals is normal, and some ear wax is necessary for the health of the ears. However, the insides of the ear flaps should be cleaned whenever there is an accumulation of wax, dirt, or debris. The VetraCare Pet Ear Wipe was designed specifically for this, allowing pet owners to wipe away harmful buildup and leaving the ear clean and refreshed.

If excessive waxy build-up, itching or odor is present, an over-the-counter ear cleanser, like VetraCare Pet Ear Rinse, can provide relief and soothe irritation. Simply apply a few sprays into the ear canal to help loosen wax or remove debris, massage the base of the ear to spread solution, and gently wipe out excess liquid from the ear canal.

Co-developed by a trauma & burn surgeon and a Ph.D. biologist, VetraCare Pet products work to reduce inflammation and irritation on pets skin, paws and ears by removing harmful bacteria and contaminants while maintaining continued hydration and long lasting protection. VetraCare Pet is different than many pet care products, as the ingredients in VetraCare were selected to not only effectively treat the injury or condition, but also work to improve the overall health of the animal.

VetraCare Pet product line is made in the USA, blended in an FDA regulated facility and built using the same advanced technology as our healthy human skin care products, ensuring every step is done not just to pet standards, but to human standards. This creates the ideal solution for pet skin care and ensures your animal gets safe, effective products.

Greensations Launches First Hot Pepper Stop Itch Spray For Dogs and Cats

Scotia, NY (PRWEB) April 28, 2013

Greensations has launched the worlds first hot pepper anti-itch spray for dogs and cats under their new ThermaPet brand. Hot pepper anti-itch spray is nothing new for Greensations, a company that built several successful OTC brands for humans. Their most popular products, ThermaSkin and ThermaScalp are sold in thousands of stores, but ThermaPet is a whole new animal for GSC Products, parent company of Greensations.

ThermaPet Stop Itch Spray is designed specifically for pets with long and short fur. Unlike other anti-itch pet products, ThermaPet does not use steroids, chemicals or preservatives that can damage skin in cats and dogs. According to the manufacturer, their product works faster and lasts longer than mainstream brands.

Over the years, hundreds of customers have said our pepper itch sprays worked for their pets. So we decided to take it a step further and create an anti-itch spray specifically for dogs and cats. ThermaPet stops itching in less than 2 minutes for most pets and it promotes healing, says Wayne Perry, CEO of GSC Products, LLC.

In a one month open label study using 40 volunteers including 26 dogs and 14 cats, ThermaPet stopped itching and scratching by 95 percent based on customer surveys provided by the pet owners. No adverse reactions were recorded and 80% got noticeable relief after the first application, according to pet owners.

We offered free product to the first forty customers with either a cat or dog who previously commented on using our anti-itch products on their pets. Within 48 hours, we had all forty participants in place. Every pet owner filled out a survey after each week of use and the results were amazing. In the first week, eight out of ten pets completely stopped itching. Over the next three weeks, 38 of the forty pets were essentially cured according to their owners, adds Perry.

Along with Capsaicin, the active component of hot peppers, ThermaPet uses horseradish to reduce inflammation and Black Walnut to fight fungal infections. In addition, this proprietary formulation contains other botanicals to boost immunity and reduce allergic reactions including: Goldenseal, Nettle, Jewel Weed, Vitamin C and Sea Salt.

ThermaPet is available online and in stores with an MSRP of $ 13.99. Samples are available for media and Veterinarian medical professionals upon request. Contact GSC Products directly for media inquiries, wholesale inquiries and customer service questions.

Pet Health Company, Healthy Brands for Life, Releases Liquid Bandage for Dogs and Cats

Nixa, MO (PRWEB) April 29, 2013

Cuts and scrapes are common on dog and cats, especially pets that spend a lot of time outdoors. When a pet gets a minor cut or abrasion it can often be difficult to get that wound to heal and pets are more susceptible to foreign materials such as fur, dirt or gravel getting into the wound and causing an infection. Dogs and cats dont understand the importance of leaving a wrap or bandage alone therefore conventional bandages are often difficult to use on animals.

The Vetra Care Pet Liquid Bandage was created to be used in place of traditional bandages for easy, gentle application. It utilizes the FDA approved ingredient, Allantoin, to provide a layer of protection to the area and keep bacteria and debris out of the wound. It is ideal for hard to dress areas of the pet or those places where wrapping or a bandage is impractical. Once applied the Vetra Care Pet Liquid Bandage controls moisture around the wound while remaining breathable to speed up healing.

Co-developed by a trauma & burn surgeon and a Ph.D. biologist, VetraCare Pet products work to reduce inflammation and irritation on pets skin, paws and ears by removing harmful bacteria and contaminants while maintaining continued hydration and long lasting protection. VetraCare Pet is different than many pet care products, as the ingredients in VetraCare were selected to not only effectively treat the injury or condition, but also work to improve the overall health of the animal.

Spring is Allergy Season for Cats and Dogs

Damariscotta, ME (PRWEB) May 16, 2013

Damariscotta Veterinary Clinic reminds pet owners theyre not the only ones dealing with allergies this time of year. Family pets such as cats and dogs have allergies as well.

Most people are not aware of the affects of allergies on their pets. Signs of an allergic reaction in dogs and cats differ from those in people. Commonly pets will be scratching, biting, rubbing and/or chewing themselves. Other symptoms include, but are not limited to head shaking, ear problems, re-current skin infections, skin rashes, respiratory problems and intestinal problems.

The most common reason a pet has allergies is due to inheriting from their parents the tendency toward producing an immune response to specific allergens. Repeated exposure to the offending allergen over a period of months to years will eventually cause symptoms. Typically there are short periods of symptoms which may be mild to unnoticeable. Repeated exposure over time causes the pet to experience longer periods of discomfort and more severe symptoms, which is usually when the pet owner notices a problem.

The most frequently seen allergens in pets are to food, dust/storage mites, fleas, and molds. Many pets are also allergic to tree and grass pollens. When seasonal allergies are combined with other allergens the signs and symptoms are more intense.

If a pet is showing any of the above signs or symptoms, Damariscotta advises pet owners to bring their animal in for a visit. Blood tests can be done to determine what allergens the pet is reacting to.

Removing, avoiding and/or reducing the offending allergen is the most important thing a pet owner can do. The veterinarian will decide on the best treatment depending on what they are allergic to. Some options available are long term medications and immunotherapy, which requires injections to be given. Success of treatment depends on the overall health of the pet, avoidance of the offending allergen, giving medications/treatments as directed and following any other instruction from a veterinarian.
