Animal rescue doesn't come cheap. Trust me. Before pet adoption can take place, all rescue dogs must be fully vetted-- which is really expensive. But in addition to that, a list of monthly medications is required for each shelter dog to be truly healthy and happy. And believe me, those costs add up.
So, I started looking for more cost-effective medication options for Lucky Dog Rescue. That's when I found 1-800-PetMeds.
With 1-800-PetMeds, I can save money on all the meds my babies need. That's huge for me! When it comes to animal rescue, cost savings ultimately lead to more lives saved, and 1-800-PetMeds allows animal rescue groups to save more by spending less.
Also, the company has been so great to donate some much-needed products to Lucky Dog Rescue (and so many other rescue groups)! I'll always give a thumbs-up to companies that help animal charities!

| Chance loves Comfort Zone! |
Comfort Zone is an outlet diffuser created just for dogs. By releasing a calming, stress-reducing pheromone, Comfort Zone helps to control stress-related dog behaviors such as excessive whining, destructive chewing, panting, and anxiety.
If you've ever dealt with these issues, then you know exactly why I couldn't wait to try this product. Sure, Lucky Dog Rescue is a super-happy place, but even still, the animal shelter environment can be pretty stressful for some dogs. So, I'm always looking for ways to help my animal rescue dogs feel happy, safe, and secure.
So, 1-800-PetMeds offered to donate some Comfort Zone to Lucky Dog Rescue!
Of course, Comfort Zone is not an immediate fix, nor does it claim to be. Efficacy increases with time, and some additional behavior modification training is still needed for maximum benefit. I think most people expect to plug it in and have all of the dog's issues vanish immediately, but that's really not how it's meant to work.
But by following the product instructions, I'm beginning to get some results. And in just a short time, I've already seen a difference for the pups in my animal shelter. The reduction in anxiety is slowly helping with some of those destructive behaviors, and the calming effect has started to put my rescue dogs at ease, which puts me at ease. I want what's best for my babies, so providing them with a sense of comfort is always at the top of my list.
Like I said, I'd always wondered about the Comfort Zone products, but I just never knew if they were worth a try. But I finally went for it, and I'm glad I did. My dogs deserve to feel comforted, even when I'm not there, and I feel like this is really helping them.
Anyway, I wanted to share this with y'all! I'm also providing some links below so you can try Comfort Zone and 1-800-PetMeds for your pups!

ReplyDeleteIf this is a sponsored post, ethics and respect for all your readers who love you would dictate that you state it.
ReplyDeleteI have compared the cost from my vet via our 501c3 status plus the rescue discount we get and they do better than 1-800-PetMeds.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't paid to write this post. Actually, I've been wanting to try this product for a long time, so I told PetMeds that I wanted to write an honest review of the product based on my experience, so that's what I did :)
ReplyDeleteAs I said, the company has been so great to send some much-needed products etc to Lucky Dog Rescue, and they do the same for many other rescue groups, which I think is really cool. Their generosity to offer these things was definitely stated in my post.
I'm always up for sharing good tips with my readers, & I'll gladly give a thumbs-up to companies that help animal charities.
But regardless, I would never choose sponsorship or donations over honesty. Bottom line.
@Roberta,
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Vet discounts can be so helpful! We rescuers have to save money whenever possible! Thanks for reading :)
OKAY I have 4 dogs 1-12 year old SAVANNA Pit mix which i had rescued her 11 years ago from the desert with 29 scars on her body and she was 9 months old. Now shes happy and over weight but healthy all in all. 2-11 year old. 1 is SAVANNA'S son BANDIT who somehow got ROTT and PIT mix ( say it fast and sound like rotten pit when it said Rott n' Pit mix) who was born in my walk-in closet NOV 23 that year it was on THANKSGIVING DAY. The other 11 year is a 2 tone white shepard found at a storage facility at approx 7 mths old JOY. BANDIT & JOY SAME AGE HAVE BEEN INSEPERABLE ever since. The 4th one was abandoned at my house unknown his breed but he is now 7 years old and been with us 5 years. THE problem here is the babies (JOY & BANDIT) get upset when one or the other go for a walk without the other I mean loud whining barking and just restlessness for each other. If they see each other on walks the literally run to each other how to I control that anxiety? My mom at 83 years old often take them for walks but she not strong enough to control them all the time Joy has a trick slipping out of her collar at will
ReplyDeleteHey, whenever you find something that works, you just have to share it. I buy my dog's heartworm preventative and frontline plus from Drs. Foster & Smith online. Their prices beat 1-800 pet meds, too.
ReplyDelete@Lynn --
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Ashley can give you better advice here (she's the resident expert!) but as for slipping out of their collars, an 'easy walk' harness is a total lifesaver for me. Something they can't slip out of, and it prevents heavy pulling as well (without causing pain!)
I know that's just a band-aid for the problem but it may be worth looking into.
I also agree with using a harness instead of a collar for dogs who pull and are too strong for the handler. This has helped me with walking two of my dogs who could easily pull my arm off (at least it feels like it, ha!) otherwise.
ReplyDeleteOur Damien is a neurotic pitt bull who has separation anxiety- and we use the comfort zone and would swear by it. He starts his craziness when its time to refill... so something in it works.
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley, I'm in the UK so not familiar with this product or company, but have you tried Thundershirts for dogs with anxiety? I use one for my rescued Collie and I think it's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if your blog will accept links, but it looks as though the main US company is still working with rescues - worth you or a volunteer submitting a request? http://www.thundershirt.com/GivesBack.aspx
I have seen testimonial from other shelters saying how much their donated Thundershirts helped the dogs they tried them on and they are popular here with TTouch folk. Definitely recommend them (and I have no connection with the company other than being a happy customer!).
