Employees Favorite Items
February 2023
Kailey's:
Boxiecat is one of Kailey's favorite cat litters and items in the store. She buys this cat litter every month and says it lasts forever! Between her two cats she sees way less tracking issues and "has never found a liter that lasts this long." She even got her co-worker Makenna buying it.
August's:
Primal goat milk is a favorite for many, but August likes it especially because of how beneficial it is. August loves recommending this item because it has many antioxidants in it and is a major help when it comes to gut health. Not only does it help with gut health but can help with extra hydration as well. There are a variety of flavors. August prefers the Green Goddess flavor because it's the perfect way for animals to hydrate and get some good veggies in their diet. This product is also good for cats!
Makenna's:
Under the Weather cat calming powder has been a life saver for Makenna's cat. Makenna loves this product because it works so well, and her picky cat has no problems eating it. All you do is mix the powder in wet food then the cat gobbles it up. This powder is chicken flavor so it's hard for a cat to turn its nose to it. Makenna loves natural items, and this is made with natural ingredients to calm your cat. Under the Weather has tons of other products we carry for dogs too!

August's
August is a big fan of treats for chewers, he has a dog that he loves to test chews out with. He particularly likes the redbarn collagen, braided chew. The redbarn braided chew is a great chew for pups that go through treats instantly. The braid is like two treats in one and the braided concept helps it lasts longer. IT is also made from collagen so its good for the skin and easy to digest. Redbarn also makes a variety of treats, most good for long term chwing.
Makenna's
Wondercide flea preventions are a favorite of Makenna's because she loves the natural aspect of it. All of wondercides products are made from natural, essential oils that are safe for pets, humans, and all furniture. It's a great alternative to chemically filled flea products and has been known to work very well! They have sprays, collars, and spot treatments for cats and dogs!

August
August's most recent favorite is the Natural Cat Toy's Silver Vine Koi fish. His new cat Jack loves to bunny kick and throw around his new fish. Silver vine is a great catnip alternative as not all cats react to catnip.
Makenna
Feliway diffusers are a great option for cats who are struggling behaviorally. The diffusers can help with inappropriate peeing, introducing new cats, anxiety, and more! Makenna loves hers as it helps with one of her older cat's anxiety. She replaces it monthly and has seen great results with her cat being more comfortable in the house.
Kailey
Wellness's Chicken and Herring Pate has been a huge hit with both of Kailey's finicky senior cats. With meat and liver as the first couple ingredients, this food has great palatability! It also has ground flaxseed, carrots, and cranberries which are great sources of omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants.
