Freshening up your dog or cat's space with a room or fabric spray? 🐾 Try this pet-safe, nontoxic room spray!

Here's one of the many recipes in the "Healthier Homes" section of our new book The Forever Dog LIFE (currently on sale at Target and Amazon )! With this easy to make room spray, you can remove those nasty odors without the coughing, itchy rashes, organ dysfunction and other health risks associated with commercial room sprays!

Our dogs and cats share our living experiences 🏠, and also suffer the same health consequences, but they cannot escape indoor environments with polluted air. So we show you how to make non-toxic products for your pet's body and home that are good for you, your pets, and the environment!

Great info about essential oils and pets 💕🐾

Some people are hesitant to use essential oils on their pets, because of all the negativity that has surrounded it.

This is also why doTERRA has some fantastic information regarding essential oils and how you can use them safely to help your pets. They also have a very informative podcast that features two veterinarians who discuss some of the top essential oil picks to help with some common issues your pet might have.

These are just a few of the EASY broth recipes🍵 you’ll find in our new book, The Forever Dog LIFE (and on sale for 50% off at almost all major retailers). This deceptively simple food provides warmth, comfort, hydration, healing, and nutrition, all in one, for a variety of your pet's needs:

🤢 Is your dog or cat experiencing nausea, reflux, gas, or just general GI upset? Try Belly-Soothing Broth. Among its ingredients are ginger root to improve GI motility, fennel to prevent GI ulcers, and cumin to stimulate digestive enzymes, plus other gut-soothing goodies.

🧠 Want to support your pet’s cognitive function? Serve up Brain-Building Broth, a salmon-based concoction infused with herbs that protect and enhance the brain.

🦠 Facing an infection or other challenge to your beloved’s immune system? Reach for Immune Broth. With the power of mushrooms plus herbs with antimicrobial and detoxifying actions, it offers a line of defense while supplying needed fluids.

🤧 Have a pup 🐶(or kitty 🐱) with histamine issues? Try the Quick and Easy Low Histamine Broth. We love traditional bone broths, but they might be out of reach for the histamine-sensitive. Ours is cooked just long enough to derive benefits, but not so long that histamine levels soar.

We have an entire section dedicated to Forever Fluids with even more recipes for broths, stews and teas! So you’re sure to find something that meets your pet’s needs!

Good info 🐾💕

Does cleaning your floor make your air dirty? A recent study says yes.😱

Mopping your floor with industrial-grade limonene-containing cleaners🪣 (keep reading for our pet-safe DIY cleaner recipe) for just a few minutes can create as much air pollution as traffic 🚙 on a busy city street, according to researchers. The aerosols generated by mopping with commercial-grade lemon🍋- or pine🌲-scented chemicals can be inhaled deep into the lungs 🫁 (by both humans and animals) causing irritation and leading to health issues 😷 like allergies, and more.

So can you have a clean floor AND clean air? Also yes! 🥳 Researchers found that use of an air purifier during mopping can significantly reduce the concentration 📉 of harmful aerosols.

In our new book The Forever Dog LIFE we show you how to make a budget-friendly DIY air purifier to minimize indoor air pollution. 🙌

🧽 You can also try one of our pet-safe floor cleaners:
1 gallon water
2 cups white vinegar
1-2 cups rubbing alcohol
1 tsp natural dish soap
Optional: 5-10 drops of bergamot, lemon, or other pet safe essential oil

🪣 Combine in a bucket to mop. Can be added to a spray bottle for spot cleaning. No need to rinse.

You'll find many more non-toxic cleaning tips and recipes in our book, so we’ve got you covered no matter how you tackle cleaning your home! Available now at your favorite bookstore.
