When it comes to litter, it can be tough to distinguish between different types and brands out there. The thing is, the wrong litter can allow dust, germs and odor to multiply and spread around the house. This means more cleaning, more often. No thanks.

Every cat has distinct likes and dislikes but most cats prefer unscented litter.
Strong scents and fragrances can deter them from using their litterbox and, well, who knows where they'll end up. If you decide to use a scented choice try a naturally scented litter as they tend to be less overwhelming. Keep in mind that most cats prefer smaller litter particles as the texture feels softer on their paws.
Keep an eye on your cat and be cautious as you make the transition between litters. They may be confused by new textures and smells at first. Try a gradual transition to prevent any "what the heck" reactions.
When it comes time to change the cat litter box, having everything you need on hand makes it easy. We have all the supplies you need, from litter mats and scoops to cleaning sprays and cat wipes.

The holidays mean family, friends, fun and of course, food! For your furry friends, a little too much food can sometimes mean a holiday hangover. But not to worry, one seasonal favorite can be used year-round to help soothe that holiday bellyache – pumpkin!
That’s right, pumpkin is a digestive health lifesaver, the Imodium or Pepto for pets. Packed with both soluble and insoluble fiber content, pumpkin helps to soothe an upset stomach, slows digestion and firms up loose stools.
But that’s not all. The healthy fiber in pumpkin helps your pet feel more satiated so they won’t be hungry if they’re trying to shed a few pounds. Pumpkin is also low in calories and rich in essential nutrients, like vitamins A & C, potassium, antioxidants, fatty acids and beta carotene. Plus, it’s a great source of hydration which can help with a pet’s constipation.
Not sure about the amount of pumpkin to feed your pets? Just a tablespoon per 10 pounds of body weight is all it takes (max out at 5 tablespoons when it comes to the bigger guys). You can add it to your pet’s food, mix with other healthy ingredients & freeze fresh pumpkin, or offer it alone as a tasty treat!
Before you reach into your cupboard for your human-grade canned pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, pureed pumpkin or pumpkin pie filling, check out the special formulations created specifically for your furry friend.
This is a great dehydrated option to keep in the cupboard or take on the road.
These yummy pumpkin purees have added digestive herbs like ginger and cinnamon to help reduce gas and settle upset stomachs.
This is pumpkin with superpowers! Dehydrated pumpkin blended with prebiotics and digestive herbs fixes problems quickly but is tough enough to be a daily digestive supplement in your pet's everyday diet.
The small serving size of this yummy pumpkin puree makes it perfect for small pets, travel or a quick fix!
