I used to love fireworks. But on behalf of my dogs (and your dogs), they stress me out now.

You already know that more dogs go missing on July 4th than any other day. It’s the fireworks. And it’s preventable.

So here’s our annual reminder to pay close attention to your pup and tips to set them up for success this week. 🩵💛

🚫It’s not gonna get them high or put them to sleep.

Here's what CBD does: It helps your dog or cat get back to "normal".

CBD helps regulate their body systems so that they run steady and properly again.

Example:
🥵When you get too hot, you sweat to cool down.
🥶When you get too cold, you shiver to warm up.

That's your body working to self-regulate and maintain its normal temperature.

That normal, healthy state is called 'homeostasis'. CBD helps create homeostasis AKA “balance”.

When your pet takes CBD, it steps in to help their body get back to normal and balanced.

👉🏾 So if they’re naturally pretty calm and they get upset about something, CBD can help them get back to normal & balanced.

👉🏾Or if they have an illness or inflammation, CBD can help them get back to normal & balanced.

👉🏾Or if they’re healthy and happy and you want to keep them from getting out of sorts and IMBALANCED, then giving CBD daily works as a preventative measure.

Does it make sense?

📚There's a lot of science behind it, which you can find on our blog, but we wanted you to have a simple explanation of what CBD does and how it can help your fur family.

Questions? Comments? I’d love to hear them!

Excellent info on saving your pet in the event of a fire.

🔥 With the extreme temperatures 🌡lately it feels like we are all on fire by just stepping outside but today is actually National Pet Fire Safety Day 😬🥵
So here are a few tips for keeping your pets safe in case of a fire. 🚒🚨

🔥 Use a window decal (like ours ☝🏼) letting fireman know how many pets and what type of pets you have inside. We recommend having your vets contact info on it as well in case you are not home.

🔥 Be aware of favorite hiding spots for your loved ones. This is likely where they will go if scared. This will also help you find them quicker.

🔥 For cats we always recommend having their carrier easily accessible, and for dogs a leash handy.

Lastly, if you pet is caught in a fire always have them checked out by your veterinarian afterward to ensure they are ok.

👀 Look closely. Those are the herbs.

Someone asked what the dark specks are in their oil. Those are finely ground herbs. Nothing more.

We use whole herbs because they help give your dog or cat benefits that aren’t found in herb extracts. Whole herbs have additional fiber, microbes, and phytonutrients that can enhance your pet's health. None of the herbs' components have been processed or removed.

To remove the those specks means we would have put the herbs through an extraction and separation process. And remove some of the benefits.

AND WE DON’T DO THAT.

Your dog or cat deserves to get every bit of goodness that the herbs provide. 😘

And that’s what’s in the bottle. H**p seed oil + whole herbs. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I love when y’all ask us questions. It shows you care and pay attention. And it keeps us on our toes.

Keep it up! 👍🏾

Cats eat meat. 🐈‍⬛

That's pretty much ALL they eat.

Yes, you can give them veggies, fruits, and berries. But their bodies aren't truly adapted to digesting, processing, and pulling enough nutrients from plant-based meals. Meat is an absolute requirement for cats. They cannot survive without it.

And this pack of chicken jerky is meat. In fact, it's NOTHING ELSE BUT MEAT. Nothing confusing. Just chicken breast.

We keep it simple for you. 💙

Having a hard time finding a better food your cat will eat versus the junk food they’re addicted to?🤦🏼‍♀️😻

We’ve seen many pets on processed diets who are fussy eaters, or who spend as much time playing with their food as eating it.😼 When their owners gradually transitioned them from a kibble or feed-grade canned diet to raw or gently cooked fresh food, the weird eating habits disappeared. But how do you get a fussy cat to try healthier food? 😫

This week we’ll be talking about food, supplements, enrichment, hairball remedies, and more! Plus we’re answering some of your questions about urinary issues and other common health problems many of you are facing with your pets.

The The Two Crazy Cat Ladies 😻😻 are joining us to discuss all things cats, an episode many of you have been asking for! So join us Sunday at noon ET, for this lively episode! Looking forward to seeing your questions in the chat! 🙌

ONE simple tip when removing kibble from your cat's diet:

Frequent mealtimes!

Switching to a canned or raw food diet removes a large volume of carbohydrates, and your cat may initially feel hungrier more often.

A good way to curb this is by increasing the amount of meals you feed. In nature, cats eat 10-20 times a day. I do not expect you to present your cat a meal every 30 minutes! Instead, 4 meals served daily is realistic and a great place to start. Using an automatic feeder with an ice pack is an easy way to add a meal into the day while you’re away.

Who we are and why you care.

And why WE care.

I'm Nana (rhymes with 'Donna') 👋🏾and that tall dude is my husband, Marcus. He told me to tell you hi! 👋🏼

If you're new here, I wanted to get you up to speed on who we are. If you've been around for a while, THANK YOU! 💚

Losing our first dog, Beau, to cancer DEVASTATED us because we thought we were doing everything right.

But she got sick anyway.

We learned that even though we couldn’t save her life, we could give her a better few months with just supplements and fresh food. So damned simple, right?

And for her last few months, Beau was happier, healthier, and more energetic.

When we decided to get another dog, we committed to do better. We would never again wait until their health started declining. We would be proactive from DAY ONE.

So when we couldn't find the clean, preservative-free supplements and fresh treats that we wanted for our new pups, I researched and created them.

✨ Welcome to Homescape Pets, where pets are part of the landscape of our home. Our Homescape. ✨

What our products can help your pet with:
👉🏾 Anxiety
👉🏾 Inflammation
👉🏾 Mobility

How?
Simple supplement drops or powders mixed right into their meals or dropped in their mouth. Plus chews and treats that I promise they'll love!

All supplements have 3 or less ingredients.
All chews and treats have only 1 ingredient. That's it.

We would LOVE to hear from you and learn how we can help you love them a little more. And more than that, we would LOVE to see your happy, healthy dogs and cats!

Thanks for reading, following, and supporting us!

A warm, weighted blanket. 🛏️

That’s what Restful Pet feels like to your dog or cat.

You know what I mean. It’s when you get in bed after a long day, turn the light off, and pull the blanket up to your chin.

And you take that deep sigh because it feels soooo good to be relaxed.

That’s what your pet can feel like with Restful Pet.

🚫 Restful Pet is NOT a sedative. It’s NOT for everyday use just because you have an active new puppy (that requires play time to burn off the energy and training to develop good behavior). It’s NOT used just because your cat has naturally high energy. Nope.

✅ Restful Pet is for stressful, anxiety-filled moments. Like thunderstorms, fireworks, new visitors or workers at your home, travel days, or when you now have to leave them in the house alone but you haven’t left their side since 2020 (because lockdown).

The point is: It’s not used all the time. Just when life is a little scary.

And we all know that life can be pretty damned scary sometimes. (I’m talking to you 2020 and 2021)

We love hearing how your pet is doing on their supplements. Here’s what Dobby’s mom had to say:

“My 11 year old yellow lab mix, Dobby, has been suffering his whole life with itchy, smelly skin. He was constantly scratching and licking. I tried virtually everything, and finally had to resort to prescription meds.

Now, after only a month with Companion’s Best Day, I can see a huge difference. His fur has grown back, he smells better, and he sleeps through the night without constantly scratching and licking.

I couldn’t be happier, for him and for me!”

Thank you Lisa! We're happy for you and Dobby too!

Looking for FREE GI support?!

Then look no further than your backyard (as long as it’s SPRAY FREE, with no fertilizers or pesticides)! Dandelions are one of the healthiest, easiest adds to your dog’s dish. Your dog can eat all parts of the dandelion - the flowers, stems, leaves, and roots. Most people feed the leaves because they’re easy to mix in with whatever you’re feeding.

Dandelions are more nutritious than kale and are chock-full of vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin C, beta-carotene, K, and potassium. But there are other star attributes of this little lovely; they’re LOADED with prebiotic fiber, and research shows dandelions has anti-inflammatory properties, may reduce stress on the liver by filtering potentially harmful chemicals out of food, and boosts the immune system.

In the Diet and Nutrition section of our upcoming book, The Forever Dog, Rodney and I list our favorite Core Longevity Toppers, including dandelion greens - superfoods you can share with your dog no matter what type or brand of food you’re currently feeding (don’t worry, we also share how much and how to introduce these foods to your dog, if feeding fresh food is brand new for you).

We’re at the end of Dandelion season, so don’t let these backyard beauties go to waste! Add a little minced up dandelion greens to your pup’s food today 🍃!

Wondering if our supplements work? Here’s what pug-parent Cameron had to say:

“I've been giving my pug Emmy Mussel Mobility for some time now and it has really helped her knees and hips. Now I also give it to my Bugg Ozzy as more of a preventive supplement, and he loves it.”
