Why My Dogs Are Like Family
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 you provide your human family, they are part of your family. Today, I’m sharing why my dogs are like family and how I care for them with quality pet products.
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 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 if they heard the big-time bangs in the night. So, I stayed in and went to bed with the fan on as loud as possible 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.
Another reason my dogs are like family is that after we lost our last 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 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.
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 whenever we return from the lake, my dogs get a bath. I’ve got Charlie and Frank to thank for helping me clean up these two and smelling good. First, I used Charlie and Frank Eucalyptus Shampoo which is complete without dye, preservatives, 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. 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.

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.

My dogs are also my family….I get told often I treat my dogs better than some people treat their children. I need to check out these products, especially the shampoo. My lab is stinky!!!
Aww they are such cuties! Really, so adorable! I love that pets really are part of the family. Hope to have one some day soon.
Awww such sweet pups!! Wish my hubs liked dogs more; we have a kitty and love her dearly, but don’t know when a dog might be in our future.
Your dogs are so cute! Mine is definitely family too.
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!
