Why My Dogs Are Like Family

July 22, 2020 Kim 5 Comments

Pets play an essential part in a family that surpasses what any human family member can give. Their unconditional love is incredible. If you provide your pets with the care and happiness that you provide your human family, then yes, they are part of your family. Today, I’m sharing why my dogs are like family, and how I take care of them with quality pet products.

This blog post is sponsored by iHerb. The full line of Charlie and Frank Pet products were sent to me to help facilitate this post. All opinions are my very own.

Why My Dogs are Like Family

Why My Dogs Are Like Family

You know your dogs are part of the family when you miss one of your favorite holidays because they are scared profusely.

This past 4th of July, I was at my mom’s. Her backyard backs up to a lake. A lake where many families either vacation or live. July 4th is a major holiday at the lake as most families pay big bucks to showcase their fireworks out on their docks.

I had to miss the show this time because I brought my dogs along. I haven’t been to the lake on the 4th in a long time. So, not thinking, I came for a visit with my dogs. They were already shaking from the loud firecrackers going off during the day, so I knew it would be detrimental to them if they were to hear the big-time bangs in the night. So, I stayed in and went to bed with the fan on as loud as it could go so they wouldn’t hear any booms.

Yes, my dogs sleep with me, and they rule my heart. I care about their safety, wellbeing, and pet products I use, such as Charlie and Frank pet products to keep them healthy and happy. This alone is the main reason why my dogs are like family.

Why My Dogs Are Like Family

Another reason my dogs are like family is that after we lost our last of four dogs, we were dogless. We knew our family wasn’t complete without four-legged family members. So, after seven months of being without dogs, we adopted sibling puppies – that was five years ago. And about four years ago, we bought a Lab puppy. The Charlie and Frank pet products from iHerb are all I need to care for all three of my dogs.W

Why My Dogs Are Like Family – Bathtime

Now that I’m home from the lake, it’s time to bathe them. Lake life can be kind of dirty, so every time we come back from the lake, my dogs get a bath. I’ve got Charlie and Frank to thank for helping me get these two cleaned up and smelling good. First, I used Charlie and Frank Eucalyptus Shampoo that is complete without dye, preservative, and phosphate-free. Then I sprayed them with Charlie and Frank Smell Good Grooming Mist – Eucalyptus. I love the scent of eucalyptus as it brings out the smell of nature, and these two products together give my dogs a comfortable smell – nothing overpowering.

When I give my dogs their bath, I go with reliable quality products. Why not, they are like family, right? When my son was young, I made sure I used the right quality products in his bath and on his body – no difference with my dogs. They get the best too.

With its wide variety of pet products available 24 hours a day / 7 days a week on iHerb.com, no need to go anywhere else.

Along with the shampoo and grooming mist I mentioned above, my other favorite products are the Dog Multi-Vitamin & Mineral and the Omega Skin & Coat with Omega-3. My dogs love soft chews, and I’m sure these taste as good as they smell.

I also used the Dog Paw Balm on my Lab’s paws because he likes to play on rocks, in the pond, and anywhere else he can. His paws are dry and cracked because of it. Jett, our Lab is not camera friendly. It takes an arm and a leg to get him still to take a picture! But he is shown in one of the photos above.

    Those are the cutest fur babies! I’ve been dying to get a dog since I was little but I just live vicariously through people’s fur babies!
