Taking The Spa To The Pup

Posted on October 15, 2008

Having parents with empty-nest syndrome, it shouldn’t have surprised me when they adopted a chihuahua. A couple of days ago, my parents asked me to babysit Archie (their chihuahua) while they are on vacation this week on Lake Champlain in NY. I’ve dog-sat a couple of Labs and Danes before, but never a small dog like Archie. I was so impressed with how well he has been behaved so far this week that we decided to give him a nice day at the spa.  There are quite a few doggy spas in the area as well as specialty shops that offer some pretty cool natural spa products for pups.

I don’t know exactly what I’ve got in store for Archie, but I’m definitely going to pick up some natural Bubbles and Beads Dog Shampoo to help repair his coat and help protect him against dry skin. Currently, dog itchy skin remedy options are off the table for Archie due to the moisturizing conditioner I just mentioned, but I might see if I can find some options in case we have to cross that bridge at some point.

A couple of weeks ago my parents picked up a natural Tear Stains Eyepack for Archie due to some staining an irritability of his tear ducts. I had no idea that young pups can have those types of issues, but apparently they can. I guess that is why I’m trying to be so precautious while watching little Archie. I am excited to see that there is such a wealth of great natural dog products not only online, but in the marketplace in general. I mean, being able to treat and care for Archie with effective natural products is not only responsible, but essential in todays world. 

Anyway, my parents will be coming back home on Sunday and I hope to have a clean and healthy pup to return to them. Now if I can just get him to calm down a bit at night that would be wonderful.
