A Guest Post from Bobbi Panter

Note from Kay:  I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to have a guest blog post from Bobbi Panter.  She is the creator of the ONLY pet grooming products that I carry in my pet store:  http://www.PetCollarStoreAndMore.com   I use her products and so do my friends, and everyone is just thrilled by the products.

From Bobbi Panter:  With this snow piled high in Chicago there are 3 things that make me ponder a move to sunnier climate; dragging Bebe and Cece through 2 feet of snow, scraping my car windows to remove last night’s ice and the hard to remove white salt stains on my favorite pair of black boots!

That terrorizing and annoying salt ruins my boots, my car and burns Bebe and Cece’s little feet! Strong enough to melt ice and discolor paint jobs yet apparently safe enough to add as filler to most dog and cat shampoos.   Did you know that most shampoos use sodium chloride to thicken and fill them and it is table salt?  Sure, the more salt added as an ingredient the lower the price tag for shampoo – but ultimately it lowers the quality too. I thought, why don’t I create a product that has no salt– no chemical fillers – no distractions to the essential oils and important ingredients…a product that actually works to solve problems and not create more…. a shampoo that dog owners would use on themselves!

Groomers, pet boutiques and retail stores across the country agree. Bobbi Panter Pet Products were developed to solve problems, after my own dog, Bobo had eye surgery and the drugs they used harmed her skin and fur.  I developed Itchy Dog to target hotspots and dry/flaky skin. Stinky Dog removes the harshest of odors, EVEN SKUNK!  And Charlie Dog naturally removes all fleas, ticks and lice. No medications, no harsh substances – just pure, high essential oils. Because Bobo had partial vision in one eye only, I Ph Balanced every shampoo to make it safe for our pet’s eyes. Don’t be afraid to scrub near your dog’s face - it is all safe.

When we say, “Natural” we mean it. We don’t just use it for flash on the front of our label or as a marketing technique to attract the consumer – Bobbi Panter Pet Products reveal all ingredients on the back of each bottle with a description of each one’s job.

The success of my brand did not come from a large advertising campaign – but instead, it started in my kitchen where I was mixing things to help Bobo and grew to products sold in every state by word of mouth – because when you try our products, you will agree, it is like no other dog shampoo on the market…it really works.  I developed my products out of love for Bobo and…Bobo is everyone’s dog.

Why Does Sofie Hate to Take a Bath?

Sofie needs a bath, but she really hates it.  I have tried gentle and soothing, and we do lots of cuddling while she is drying and we have treats, but she really hates it.  Any ideas?

Message from Sofie

Hi, this is Sofie.  I am a year and a half old, which makes me 11 in people years, and I am really going through my pre-teen years.  I am a Maltese dog, rescued from a puppy mill.  My mom and dad love me very much, but  lately my brother Beckham, who is 6 (42 in people years) has been really mean to me.

I love my chewies, and I love to work on them and just when they get soft and warm and easy to munch, Beckham comes along and steals them from me.

We had a REALLY bad fight about this the other day, and my daddy had to separate us.  I tried telling daddy that it was Beckham's fault, but he did not understand me.

Well. mom needs the computer, so I will sign off for now.

Love,
Sofie
