I consider myself pretty sunscreen savvy–I slather the stuff on myself daily. But when it comes to my pets, I’ve always been on the lookout for sunscreen that’s safe for animals (as they can end up licking it off inadvertently).

For my white/brindle dog (and orange tabby cat), I finally found the perfect product made just for them. Epi-Pet Sun Protector Spray is a pet-gently sunscreen that reduces both UVA and UVB exposure. The spray is equivalent to 30 to 40 SPF in human sunscreen, smells like vanilla and contains gentle vitamin E.

It’s the only sunscreen in the pet industry that meets the FDA’s ingredient testing standards and is recommended for short and thin haired pets, white and light haired pets, white and pink skinned pets, hairless dog breeds, breeds predisposed to skin tumors (i.e. boxers, dobermans, bull dogs, pit bull terriers, bull terriers, bichons, poodles, schnauzers and others), outside pets, shaved down pets, pets with allergic and inflamed skin, working dogs, and pets subjected to excessive sun exposure as during activities such as boating, hiking, visits to the dog park, walking and visits to the beach.

The sunscreen helps prevent sunburns, especially on light skinned pets, reduces exposure to damaging UVA and UVB sun rays, and protect against the development of malignant skin tumors such as melanomas, carcinomas, sarcomas and mast cell tumors type II.

It is the only pet sunscreen that meets the FDA guidelines for ingredient stability, it’s waterproof, available in a quick dry formulation, is non-greasy, the unique bag on valve spray can is environmentally friendly and it provides a constant spray from all angles.

I am lucky enough to live near a wonderful Wag Hotel, a pet hotel that I take Greta to when we’re headed out of town without her. We’ve left her there anywhere from a few hours to a few days, and we’ve always been more than pleased with how she’s treated.

Because the facility is entirely indoors, I don’t even have to worry about Greta getting too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer.

Inside Wag
Stepping in the doors of Wag Hotel is like walking into the gift shop of a day spa. It’s bright, modern, clean, and full of all kinds of goodies for furry friends.

I have always made an appointment (highly recommended, as both Wag’s day care and overnight slots can book up, particularly during the holidays).

And ever since the first time I dropped Greta off at Wag, the receptionist(s) have been ready and waiting for her when we walk in. They even greet her by name, which she loves.

Accommodations
All the rooms have plush beds, and prices include room service meals, playgroups twice a day (!), any necessary medications, and classical music.

There are also mini and luxury suites, which are roomier and, in the case of the luxury, include plasma TVs and Wag cams.

We have always had Greta stay in a medium room, which runs $45 for overnight stays, and $30 for day stays (7 a.m. to 7 p.m.). Sometimes we also add a business walk ($15 or two for $25), or an evening stroll ($10), depending on when we drop her off.

Extras
There are all sorts of other add-ons, such as individual play time, swim time, massage, nail trims, etc., that can be purchased a la carte.

Best of all, when we pick up Greta, we get a “report card” that explains how she did while we were gone, detailing such things as her energy level, her appetite, whether or not she had medications, how her elimination was, whether or not she followed instructions well, and how she played with other (and the names of any friends she made, too!).  

Wag may not be the cheapest place around, but I think it’s the best, so in my book it’s worth the extra cost to know Greta’s well cared for and having a ball.

I may be the only person watching the new Animal Planet reality show “Groomer Has It“, but I don’t care!

Yes, it’s a blatent rip off of this show, complete with a “Quick Sniff” challenge at the beginning of every episode, much like the “Quick Fire” challenge, but for anyone who has ever washed a dog, this is the show for you.

Already I learned to put cotton balls in Greta’s ears before a bath (to prevent any water from getting in her ear canals).

Yes, the show is silly and at times ridiculous, but isn’t all reality television these days?

On the “Groomer Has It” website, you can take a grooming quiz, get DIY tips, and more. The show airs at 9 p.m. E/P on Animal Planet, and you can also catch up with full episodes online.

As for who I hope wins the show, let’s just say I like to root for the underdog…get it?
