    The Best Tasting and Cleanest Coffee Ever! Biodynamic Coffee uses Regenerative Farming Practices

    Your morning cup of joy just got better tasting and cleaner. Biodynamic Coffee by Holistic Roasters is making a difference and coffee lovers reap the benefits. It’s the cleanest and tastiest coffee on the market, grown using Biodynamic farming practices that enhance the natural fertility of the soil and prohibits the use of chemical fertilizers. It’s healthier for farmers who grow the beans, the environment, and consumers alike. It makes a great holiday gift as well.

    Did you know that coffee is one of the most heavily sprayed crops? Healthy soil free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers is the best atmosphere to grow coffee plants. The recent popularity of documentaries such as The Biggest Little Farm and Kiss the Ground where Biodynamic farming is brought to the forefront is proof of the growing importance of brands such as Holistic Roasters.

    Great coffee comes from healthy soil

    Biodynamic farming doesn’t use pesticides (natural or otherwise) and encourages biodiversity. Holistic Roasters is certified by Demeter USA and assures Biodynamic integrity.

    The company offers a sustainably grown, minimal-waste Biodynamic Coffee packaged in 100% compostable packaging. Three whole bean blends are available and tested in California labs for molds and contaminants.

    Selective-Automatic Pet Feeder Makes Meal Times Stress-Free, Suitable for Both Wet and Dry Food

    Her is the best holiday gift for pet parents! I believe a lot of your family members and friends have pets. Like me, I am a cat mom, and Yvonne, she is a dog mom. We love our pets, and any gift for our pet babies, we love it!

    Do you have a houseful of pets? Does one cat steal the other’s cat food? Does your dog steal the cat’s food? Stressful Feeding times? The Microchip Pet Feeder makes feeding times so much easier! It uses the pet’s Microchip ID or by wearing a lightweight RFID collar tag to communicate with the feeder to open for that specific pet. All feeders come standard with one tag (unit stores 32 ID’s); additional collar tags can be purchased separately if necessary. Ideally one feeder per pet.

    Key Benefits:

    • Prevents food stealing and stress at mealtimes in multi-pet homes
    • Keeps your pets healthier by controlling portions and helping to keep weight under control
    • Saves money by not overfeeding expensive prescription foods and helping to avoid vet bills related to pet health conditions.

    The SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder only opens for a registered pet’s veterinary implanted microchip or RFID collar tag to prevent pets stealing each others’ food. One collar tag is supplied with the product. This feeder is ideal for multi-pet households to prevent greedy pets becoming overweight and to ensure prescription or life-stage food is consumed by the right pet. The lid of the feeder closes onto a sealed bowl, which keeps food fresher. One single grey bowl, one split grey bowl and one grey mat is included – additional bowls and mats in grey, green, pink and blue can be purchased separately. Stainless steel bowls are also available. The training mode closes the lid in stages to help timid pets get used to the movement. The product includes a three-year warranty.

    • Great for Pets on Prescription Diets: Holds 13.5 fl. oz, wet or dry pet food. The lid closes to form a seal with the neoprene lip, helping to retain moisture and to keep food fresher longer.
    • Microchip Compatibility: Works with 9 (Avid Secure), 10 (FDXA) and 15 (FDXB) digit microchip numbers; if unsure of your pet’s microchip number, you can check with your veterinarian, pet shelter or animal rescue. Automatic Cat Feeder opens when the assigned pet microchip ID approaches, and closes when it moves away. Simple one button programming.

    Feeding multiple pets needn’t be a nightmare. Make sure pets on prescription or life-stage diets have exclusive access to their food and stop greedy pets stealing food. Give each pet a Microchip Pet Feeder so that everyone can lead a healthier lifestyle.

    • Programme your pet’s microchip at the touch of a button – Your pet’s microchip is then permanently stored in memory

    • The lid opens when a registered pet approaches – Your pet can access their food at any time without the fear of it being stolen

    • The lid remains closed for unauthorised pets – All your pets can now live healthier lifestyles

    • Introduce movement to the lid gradually – The training mode helps pets get used to the feeder in their own time

    Customize your feeder to suit your home and pet’s personality. Using color also helps when you have multiple feeders. Each feeder comes with one gray mat, one gray single bowl and one gray split bowl.

     

    About Microchip Pet Feeder:

    Using the microchip reading technology from Sure Petcare’s pet door range, the team developed an exciting new product which revolutionised feeding in multi-pet households. The SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder ensures that food is only eaten by the correct animal and is ideal for pets on weight management or prescription diets, or simply to keep a greedy pet away from his housemate’s food. The Sealed Pet Bowl, with its motion-activated lid, was added to the range in 2015, to keep food fresher and insect-free.
