Gumby Has Invaded The Loyal Biscuit!

 

Gumby invades the Biscuit...

A cool new assortment of toys arrived here today – including Gumby chew toys for dogs!  We also received some cat toys that make them work for their treats, a few large fleas (the good kind!), and some puppy toys. 

Gumby and his new friends...

Things that we love right now….

There are some fantastic new products rolling in daily at the Loyal Biscuit in Rockland, Maine.  Let’s get this little blog party started!

                    If It Barks.                        

     Gorgeous Collars!              

Undeniably STYLISH.

Most of you know by now that I have a MAJOR obsession with these collars.  Well, time hasn’t healed me and I just can’t stop ordering these handmade (in North Carolina) collars.  We’re placing another order tomorrow, so email me with requests.  

 

Speaking of collars, we just got a fresh shipment of Auburn Rolled Leather Collars.  These USA Made, naturally tanned leather collars just wreak of classic, timeless (and just a little snobby) style.  This is my go-to collar for Orli who wears Bauer’s old collar.  Now, I can’t wait until Eider can stop growing for 3 seconds…long enough to have a fitting.  This line is our longest running collar style and here’s why:  

A. TOUGH and Durable  

B.  USA Made  

C.  Looks great on any dog Burgnudy, Tan, Red, Black

 

We carry this collar in Tan only, because well…it’s the best looking one and ages like a dream.  And by dream, I mean like the handle on a Louis Vuitton carry-on bag.  Fear not, these collars are less than many of our nylon types, ranging from $20-40!  Great for dogs with long coats (like Bronco D.), these collars won’t mat the hair.  An unintended feature?  If you keep this collar oiled regularly, it becomes an excellent water dog collar; resisting icky smells.  Ok, I’ll stop now.  

(You should totally get one for your dog.  Now I’ll stop.)

Did I mention matching leashes?

 Town Leads

Now, I’ll stop.  

 

Let’s breakaway from the Fashion Department and take a look at Snacktime!

 

Made in Canada, Northern Biscuit’s Line of Grain-Free treats are a welcome addition to the Treat Wall at Loyal Biscuit.  With flavors like

Honey Glazed Duck and Papaya, Grilled Wild Boar,

Bison and Blueberries…

How can you go wrong?  Delicious and healthy is always the goal.  We nail it everytime! $8-9

PLAYTIME!!!!!

3833

Cats have an instinctual desire to watch cracks and crevices, especially when they know that something is hiding just beyond their sight. The Peek-and-Play Toy Box is designed to build on your cat’s instinct by partially hiding some of your cat’s favorite toys, and your cat will go crazy fishing them out! Peek-and-Play is especially great for those times when you have to leave your cat home alone, because this toy will keep your cat occupied for hours. Rotate the toys in the box so they are always digging for something different, and for extra fun, put a few food treats inside!

Features and Benefits

  • Encourages cats’ natural predatory behaviors
  • Stimulates indoor-only cats to keep them mentally and 
    physically fit
  • For food-motivated cats, drop kitty treats into the toy box for cats to retrieve and eat
  • Works with virtually any appropriately sized cat toy or catnip
  • Durable wood Toy Box will last for years and looks great with any furnishings

$34.00

This Week at the Biscuit 5.27.09

Good evening, Loyal Cust0mers!  We have some exciting new products in this week, plus some updates on some Biscuit Classics…

Walk-E-Woo TugRRR! Toys

5

4748Walk E Woo TugRRR Toys are made in the USA!  These toys are made with a silly-as-heck faux fur sewn onto tubular nylon webbing.  The TugRRR toy has no squeakers, which decreases the need for your dog to murder the toy.  Each toy is about 21″ long so as to maximize floppy good times and, ANDDDDD comes in 3 nutty color combinations!  Orli has been conducting extensive product testing and results are excellent thus far.  P.S. Machine washable = awesome.

Snook’s Tooth Oil

 

Snook's Tooth Oil $11

Snook's Tooth Oil $11

 

Ok, so you all know I have very strong, passionate devotion to the Snook’s Sweet Potato Chews and Chips.  Now, these fabulous Snooks have gone wild and made a tooth oil to accompany their snacks (or any other favorite chew snack).  Wild!!!  Basically, it is totally natural awesome herbal stuff that you can apply ( a little goes a long way) to your dog’s gumline and then set them free to chew on a Snook Chew or Bully stick.  Translation?  Fresh Breath and clean teeth without battling over a toothbrush.  JOY!

Snook’s Tooth Oil: Food Grade Myrrh Extract, Food Grade essential oils of Anise, Spearmint, Clove and Vit E blended in a Vegetable Glycerin Base. Rub on teeth and gums to soften and remove tarter. Apply with doggie tooth brush or cotton swab then give hard healthy treat (we recommend Snook’s Sweet Potato Dog Chips or Chews) to help remove build up. Helps keep teeth and gums healthy and clean. Helps freshen breath. 

Just to put some icing on the cake that is Snook’s, here is an adorable article about a rescued pig in Utah.  He LOVES Snook’s!  

Sojo’s Complete Dog Food Mix

 

SOJOS COMPLETE DOG FOOD MIX is a wholesome GRAIN-FREE pre-mix that you simply combine with water to create your own fresh, homemade pet food. Made with USDA freeze-dried raw Turkey and other all-natural ingredients:

 sweet potatoes, USDA turkey, whole egg, broccoli, celery, apples, flax meal, pecans, tricalcium phosphate, pumpkin, cranberries, basil, dried alfalfa, ginger root, dried kelp, zinc sulfate, vitamin E acetate, vitamin D2

1 lb. of SOJOS COMPLETE makes approximately 6.5 lbs. of fresh, raw dog food.

This is a great food.  Period.  Wonderful for dogs with grain sensitivities.  While most grain free foods use white flesh potatoes, this formula does not.  Orli has a potato allergy, so it is an option for even the most sensitive dog I know!  She has been eating this for two weeks with her Primal Grinds and she actually does a little “stomp-stomp” dance whilst she awaits her breakfast.

For Your Dogs Only Bagel Beds

A.  My sincerest apologies on the poor photo quality.  These photos were taken on a blackberry which I have no clue how to use.  Let’s be honest here, I can barely write complete sentences.   

B.  These dog beds just rock!  They are all furniture grade polyfill with sturdy cotton fabrics.  Totally machine washable and non-clumpy.  

C.  Made in the USA!  Come to the Loyal Biscuit Co on Main Street in Rockland to get a gorgeous new dog bed!  

Delivery updates:  

Memorial Day delivery schedules were totally messed up, so stock levels are pretty off this week.  Everything should be caught up this Monday and Tuesday.  If you are running low on food, shoot me a quick email or contact us on our Facebook page and I will make sure you have what you need!  info@loyalbiscuit.com

Molly Mutt Dog Duvet Covers (for more info, click HERE) has announced a new fabric.  Because I have a severe weakness for stylish dog beds, I pre-ordered this line and expect them any day now!  Here is a little preview….

New USA Made Dog & Cat Bowls!

Good morning!

One of my competitors referred to me as “Fussy” about what I bring into my store.  They said I’m much too picky.  

Greatest.  Compliment.  EVER!

On the note of being picky, I haven’t been able to find a stylish dog bowl that isn’t imported from you-know-where.   I don’t have a huge problem with products that are imported, but certain things are higher risk–namely ceramics and foods.  Then, there are the bowls that are imported AND have safety testing.  That is fine, but they tend to be a little “fancy” for my customers’ tastes.  

So here is the bowl that meets your criteria for simplicity and safety…

The Bauer Bowl

O. M. G. Best. Raincoat. EVER!

I searched high and low all winter long to find the right raincoat to carry this spring and summer.  Loyal Biscuit Co. customers have very high standards for canine outerwear.  You want coverage from collar to tail as well as chest coverage.  Most of your dogs are athletic and play rough…so the coat has to last.  You want something multifunctional and useful year round.  If it was cheap (30 or less), it was a terrible material and horrid fit. Then there were a few that were shockingly expensive (100 or more, I kid you not), but hardly thrilling.  Some had silly prints and some were just plain tacky. 

This one was Juuuuuust Right.  From Yorkies to Great Danes $74.95

RuffWear SunShower

Sun Shower™ all-season waterproof rain jacket

Dogs need to get outside no matter the weather, even when it’s raining cats and dogs. With the Sun Shower rain jacket, your dog will stay dry and mud-free in wet conditions. The PVC-free finish provides an environmentally-sensitive moisture barrier that allows the fabric to breathe…a key component in keeping your dog dry and comfortable.  And like high-end human raingear, our waterproof jacket has taped seams to ensure the coat remains watertight.  The 3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective trim provides high visibility when the sky is dark and stormy.  

  • Highly waterproof coating and durable water-repellant finish protect the ripstop nylon from water penetration
  • Taped seams ensure that the jacket remains watertight
  • Removable storm hood offers head protection
  • Breathable fabric allows water vapor to escape, so fur stays dry naturally
  • Autolock buckles and elastic stay-fit webbing provide a secure yet flexible fit that moves with the dog
  • Access the collar’s leash attachment through the hood
  • Oversized shape covers more surface area and also protects your dog’s belly from mud, dirt, and puddles

Thoughts on fleas and ticks and mosquitos, Oh MY!

Most of you know that, after I took over this shop, I chose to no longer stock Frontline or Advantage.  While both of these products (and many others) are effective and have their place in many pet’s lives, they deserve serious thought and consideration.  I think it is important that you discuss these products with your veterinarian.  Of course, I don’t believe that most vets know enough about nutrition (see here), but they certainly know about disease and treatment.   I am not opposed to the use of these products and have used them in the past and may use them again.  The potential for bug-borne diseases is very serious and deserves to be addressed both allopathically and holistically, depending on the dog.  Talk to the vet and ask questions.  You have a right to know every possible method and/or product for prevention.  

So, I’d like to have a flea and tick talk, starting with a crash course about the pesky little bugs themselves! (Click each photo for a link to a boring Wikipedia page about each lovely critter.  )

Flea = Yuck Bug

Tick=Mean Bug

180px-adult_deer_tickcropped

Mosquito=Skanky Bug


180px-mosquito_2007-2

So, what are we trying to avoid by repelling these bad boys?  Well, the biggies are: 

Heartworm Disease

Lyme Disease

Ehrlichiosis

Anaplasmosis

If you want to pull out the big guns (Frontline, Advantix, Advantage, Revolution, HeartGuard), please be certain to get the dosage right.  Always buy the right amount for your dog/cat.  Some products aren’t safe for cats so READ THE LABELS!  I know they are boring, but so is this blog and you’re reading it, right?  Har har har. 

Now, Let’s discuss some alternative methods.  There are several options available for alternative pest control.  Here’s what we have at the Loyal Biscuit Co:

Equinature Bug Gone

Equinature Bug Gone Spray and Wipes

Equinature Bug Gone Spray and Wipes

 

 

EcoPure Naturals Flea and Tick Spray,

Shampoo & Collars

products_head_005

EcoPure Naturals

 

 ArkNaturals Neem Protect

Shampoo & Spray

 

 

ArkNaturals Neem Shampoo

ArkNaturals Neem Shampoo

ArkNaturals Neem Spray

ArkNaturals Neem Spray

These are just a few of the many options we have available at the Loyal Biscuit Co.  When I started writing this post, it was still rainy and cold, but the weather is fabulous now.  Downside?  The bugs will begin their attack any day now.  Be prepared!  

Let’s finish today’s post with a video that teaches us how to identify ticks…
