    Napping in the Sun with Gold Paw Series Sun Shield Tee

    When we moved from New York City to Las Vegas, it was a complete opposite in concern for the weather! We had to buy all kind of boots and coats for Jacob when we lived in NYC because of the winter and here in Vegas, Cami keeping cool and sun safety is our #1 concern for her. She loves getting into the pool once it gets above 85F and the summer sun is crazy. We have to walk her at 5 am and after dark in the middle of the heat wave. Even the pavement is burning hot when it gets to over 100F here.


    Before Swim season and during Spring, Cami’s favorite thing to do is to sit by the pool. She gets overheated and has to come inside. Letting her wear this Sun Shield Tee by Goldpaw Series has given her more outside time this morning! She has been so bummed since her knee surgery 🙁 I thought this will surely cheer her up! Thank you to our friends from Goldpaw Series for sending Cami this in size 28 Coral.

    Sun Shield Tee Fabric – An ultra smooth, lightweight, breathable athletic jersey that features a UPF 50+ rating and blocks 98% of harmful UV rays. This is achieved through a tight mechanical weave, so sensitive skin won’t react to a chemical wash. It significantly reduces heat absorption by reflecting heat away from the body, and is efficient at wicking away moisture. A soothing and cool to the touch feel. Found in: The Sun Shield Tee

    Our Sun Shield Tee is silky soft, lightweight stretch jersey with a UPF-50 rating that blocks 98% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. It is not a chemical treatment – it’s a mechanical quality of the yarn so the protection won’t diminish with washing. Super comfortable indoors and out and perfect for all sorts of applications beyond sun protection too: skin conditions, wound care, topical medications, works great as an anti-anxiety calming aid that can be worn all day.

    They really reduce heat absorption too: We tested our black Lab, Luke, out in the sun with an infrared thermometer gun and found his fur was more than 40 degrees cooler under the Tee than without – it’s wearable shade! Want extra cooling? Get it wet and your pup can enjoy the evaporative cooling effect!

    Recommended For: Sun protection, regulating body temperature, indoor wear, outdoor wear, protecting skin conditions or wounds, mild anxiety, increasing cuteness

    Wear Tip: The center chest seam is designed to be on the outside – we want pets to enjoy maximum comfort, especially in that tender area.

    Harness Help: These close fitting pullovers are perfect worn under a harness, with no adjustment needed. No fussing with ill-placed harness openings in this snuggy wonder! Plus, wearing this under a harness has an added benefit of reducing or eliminating chaffing!

    Washing Instructions: Machine wash warm, tumble dry low or hang to dry.

    Proudly made in the USA!

    Cami’s Favorite Things December Edition

    Cami just turned 6 months old! Having a new puppy after having Jacob for 11 years, is a whole new experience. In the last 11 years, lots of new pet products have come out and I am excited to check these out with Cami. Cami is a very good eater and she is open to trying new things. She is on a raw diet, having meaty bones, organs, veggies and supplements so looking for healthy treats for her has been of utmost priority. She snacks of dried fruits, veggies and fresh fruits too.  Since going on DogVacay, she has tried all kinds of treats and biscuits so she does get it occasionally at home now!

    Here are her favorite winter treats in no particular order.

    Noah’s Bark at www.buynoahsbark.com – Noah’s Bark is a new line of all natural dog biscuits that are made from healthy lean proteins such as chicken, beef, and peanut protein blends and are most notably different for the ingredients you won’t find in the products: potentially harmful fillers like wheat, corn, soy, added sugars, and animal by-products. Another major differentiator of Noah’s Bark dog biscuits is that the products focus on freshness, using liquid by-products of the ingredients used, instead of water during the production process. This allows the product to retain more nutrients from its ingredients.

     

    Cami loves: Peanutty Perfection – perfectly crunchy, a great midday snack when she goes inside her crate for a nap!

    Made from Oat Flour, Peanut Butter, Ground Apples, Cane Molasses, Flaxseed, Oat Hulls, Natural Yeast Flavor, Mixed Tocopherols (Preservatives), and Rosemary Extract

    The Stretch Fleece  will make your pup the most stylish one on the block. These super-soft accessories, featuring a 4-way stretch will ensure your pup is warm and comfortable this season. All Gold Paw Series products are proudly sewn in the USA. www.GoldPawSeries.com

    Cami loves: The Robin Egg in 24 inches. She is still growing so the 4 -way stretch is perfect for her puppy body and keep warm. The color is gorgeous and it is non-pilling, ultra soft and comfy!

    Walking Cami is one of my favorite things to do! I love the freedom of being unplugged. Often I don’t even bring my phone! But recently, I dropped my phone on the sidewalk while walking Cami, it slipped out of my pocket! And then there was the time when she did a cute somersault and I didn’t have my phone with me to capture it. Then I forgot my keys once too! So having this Wristlet from A Pet with Paws has been a huge saver for making our walks even more perfect!

    Kaleb’s Treats from Vermont are baked with 100% USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC INGREDIENTS! They are also NON GMO PROJECT VERIFIED. They are made in small batches and is a healthy alternative to ‘Milkbones’. THE VERY BEST: HEALTHY, DELICIOUS, KALEB’S ORGANICS.

    Cami loves: Peanut Butter Crunch and no upset tummy even with 2 extra treats during training!

    Anticipating the great fireworks for NYE here in Vegas! Cami tried out the AKC Calming Coat in Pink XL.

    • Provides anxiety relief from thunderstorms, traveling, crating, fireworks, loud noises, hyperactivity, vet visits, and separation
    • Easy to Wear & Adjustable
    • Easy, safe, drug free way to keep dogs calming during stressful times

    Cami loves: hugs! This feels like a constant hug.  Also no zippers! It is so easy to wear with big velcro panels and gives a swaddling effect for dogs with anxiety, fear, travel or hyperactivity

    Twigo Pet Tag is so cute! This is a silent, silicone tag that you don’t need to engrave. All you have to do is write it and then boil it and it becomes permanent.  It is not only adorable but also great for safety. It is perfect for the dog park and when we go hiking! Twigo LOVE tag makes Cami look so cute too. I can’t wait to let her wear this to DogVacay and go swimming too!

    Pet Tech has these cool little boots. No snow yet but I’d love to use these on the hot pavements come summer time here in Vegas!

    Cami’s review to come 🙂
