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

We brought our cocker spaniel home at the age of 8 weeks, she was a very busy puppy and liked being outside immediately after we brought her home. My wife found the stroller on line and purchased it. The dog and I get up at 5:30am every morning, and her routine is immediately outside to do her business and back in to eat. By 6:00am I strap her in to the stroller and off we go on a 3 mile run. She loves it and is ready to go every morning. We have run over 500 miles on the stroller and it is time to replace the wheels. Very durable and comfortable for her.
My 11 year old, 70 pound, olde english bulldog fit perfectly inside! He loves going for rides and can lay down. He learned how to use the cart very quickly. I places his bowl in the cart for meals for 3 days then said load up and he walked right in! I am so happy he loves it! The cart goes over curbs and stairs well but it isnt built for intense off-road terrain. It is well made, easy to remove hair, and light enough to easily put in and out of a car trunk.
We purchased one of your strollers last year, when our dog was ill. After Bailey passed, Robyn the cat inherited the stroller. We've been having all sorts of fun "adventuring" with Robyn, who is fifteen, an indoor cat, and has never experienced much of the world before. Thank you for creating such a quality product!
We have just received the leash and the shock absorbing feature was, indeed, a game changer (as Kelvin mentioned below) during Biscuit's walk this evening. He is a puppy, so we are training him to walk next to us. Highly recommend.
