Within the past few years, we have been using household cleaning products more than ever. What if we told you that by trying to keep yourself safe from bacteria, you're actually putting your pets at risk of major health issues?!
Ingredients such as bleach, ammonia, chlorine, glycol ethers - found in common household cleaners can be extremely toxic for pets, children, and even adults. Cancer, anemia, liver and kidney damage are all health risks pets face when exposed to toxic chemicals. Even when toxic cleaners are closed and stored away in a cabinet, the vapors left behind can harm us, our children, and our furry friends.
Common Household Chemicals and Related Health Issues:
Ammonia: skin irritation, burns, respiratory and neurological issues
Glycol Ethers(carpet cleaners): kidney and lung damage and even leukemia
WHY NON-TOXIC CLEANING PRODUCTS ARE IMPORTANT:
Non-toxic cleaners are just that - NON-TOXIC. Products such as Petique's Odor Eliminator Collection With Photocatalyst Technology use green chemistry - which means there are absolutely no harmful ingredients. Photocatalyst Technology works with the air molecules in our eco-system to instantly dissolve and break down bad odor molecules and turns them into H2O and CO2.
Most cleaning products on the market use fragrances to mask odors so that consumers feel like they're REALLY cleaning. What if I told you the molecules that cause odors and stains are still there, even after using these toxic products?!
All pets are at risk of ingesting harmful chemicals, but cats are particularly vulnerable since they constantly self-grooming after being exposed to toxins and because their bodies do not handle toxins well due to the lack of certain liver enzymes.
TIPS FOR CLEANING PRODUCT SAFETY:
Try to use Non-Toxic cleaning products instead - make sure they are free of sulfates, alcohols, harsh irritating chemicals and detergents
Read labels carefully and follow use instructions properly
Be aware of the chemical strength, if you HAVE to use products such as bleach or alcohol be sure to dilute it
When cleaning with chemicals, place children and pets in a different room and ensure there is PLENTY of ventilation

Wow! Not only is this stroller insanely cute and high quality, but it had all the features I was looking for in a pet stroller. It has safety leash attachments to keep my dogs from jumping out, zippers to zip them inside safely, it folds for easy storage & the attachments can be easily removed to use as a car seat or carrier. Its absolutely wonderful for anyone who owns 2 dogs it makes our car rides so much easier and less stressful. And even better is that both of my dogs LOVE this stroller! They look forward to riding in it. I would highly recommend this stroller, its wonderful.
My dog has accidents here and there, as all dogs do. He vomit on my white couch and I used this immediately - sprayed, set and went out to lunch. I came back and the stain/scent was completely gone. Couldn't even tell where it was! Highly recommend this product to anyone w/ a fur baby for peace of mind.
As soon as I assembled the jogger, my cat jumped in and wanted to go for a ride. However, I had purchased it for my Pug. As you can see in the picture, my Pug was not pleased that the cat "stole" her carriage.
* It was fairly easy to assemble once I figured out that the black protective plastic "knobs" that protect both sides of the back wheel rod have to be removed. The directions did not mention that step or several other important steps.
* The jogger pivots really smoothly.
* The tire pump works. However, I wish it had its own separate storage pocket on the jogger. There are pockets on the jogger, but the pocket with a closure is too small to fit the tire pump, so you have to put it in the unsecured pocket and it might fall out without you noticing it.
* The handle bar is easy to adjust and has nice foam handles, but, I wish the metal bar was skinnier because it seems designed for men's wider hands. (I would rather have less metal handle and the same amount of foam padding.)
* The foot break is easy to operate and stays in place.
* The zippers seem sturdy enough. They are not high quality, but they work.
* All in all, if you can afford this jogger, I think it is a good investment.
My cat used her nails to unzip the zipper in our other stroller. I like that this stroller doesn't have zippers. It also has toggles to make sure my cat doesn't push her way out of the stroller. I highly recommend this stroller if you're worried about your cat escaping!
