This light bulb eliminates odors.
23 Watt Fluorescent Light Bulb with a Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) coating to eliminate odors. 100 Watt light output equivalent.
The Titanium Dioxide coating on the fresh2 bulb creates extremely strong oxidizers when exposed to the fluorescent light given off by the bulb itself. The oxidization process breaks down odors completely, creating a fresher and healthier atmosphere for you and your family.
While most deodorizers attempt to mask odors by applying harmful chemicals to the air on the surface, fresh2 is dramatically different because it eliminates odors altogether. A leading international research laboratory has proven this. (Results may vary based on room size and airflow. Must be used in uncovered socket/fixture to work effectively.)
Customer Feedback
“Just received my shipment on 3 Fresh2Bulbs. First off - I can’t believe how fast they arrived! I thought I would have to wait about 2 weeks, but they came in 3 days! Awesome. Second - I was skeptical about lightbulbs that were able to eliminate odors. With your prices, I decided to give it a try - if it didn’t work I could get a refund. THEY WORK!!!!! Within minutes of installing and turning on the lightbulb, the cigarette smell in my workroom is gone. The dogs and cats smells are gone!!! I have 4 puppies that use a litter box. After one of them did their “business” I could not smell the odor. I can’t begin to tell you how much money I’ve wasted with so-called air freshners. You and your company absolutely rock!! A million thanks and gratitude. You have my permission to use my comments for a testimonial. Thank you!!!”

Do you have a cat? If the answer is yes, then you likely want to feed them the best food on the market. In addition to offering them the proper nutrition available today, you should also consider how much you’re feeding them. I for one know that felines can pack on the pounds. In my house we have three. All like to consume much more than they actually need. At one point the vet requested that I put them on a diet, since all of them needed to drop a few pounds. Now you have to consider that “a few pounds” is a large percentage of their body weight. If your cat weighs 15 pounds total, and the vet tells you he needs to lose three of them, that’s 20 percent of his/her weight. Imagine how much that would be for a human. Get the picture? Well, you can do what I did and purchase an electronic cat feeder. This makes things pretty simple. Even when you’re not home or off on vacation for the week.
>>> PetSafe Two Meal Automatic Cat Feeder to feed your cat when you’re not there.
Every morning I used to wake up to my three crazy felines screaming. What were they fussing about? FOOD! It’s always about food and water for cats. Ponder how much easier life would be if you had an automatic cat feeder. It took me a while to realize this, but I final made the switch. This is basically how it works. The new-age electronic cat feeder I bought has several compartments. I fill each compartment with a portion of cat food. However, only one compartment opens at a time, and the cat feeder works off of a timer. This way a portion of food is accessible on a specific schedule. I set mine to reveal three small potions per day. And since I have three cats, I naturally have three cat feeders.
You should consider making your life easier. Hey, you won’t have to listen to that agitating meowing every morning. Your automatic cat feeder will feed your feline without any assistance needed from you. Let it do all the work. And furthermore, consider an automatic litter box. These are ideal for eliminating odors and removing the hassle of constant poop scooping. I think that’s something we could all live without.

Animal portraits are ideal for just about any pet lover. There is a hoard of reasons for considering one of these pieces for your favorite pet in your life. Following are some ideas that you may want to think about when dealing with this sort of item. You may find that several animal portraits are in order.
Many people opt to have at least one family portrait completed. The inspiration to do purchase this kind of commissioned work usually stems from a new baby or an adorable child. Those who love their pets are inspired to commission animal portraits much in the same manner.
Why not just display a photograph? The reason is simple. Animal portraits capture the pet’s personality and translate it in the work. A good artist will ask several questions about your special family member. This approach is a valuable tool for transforming a simple image into an in-depth character.
>>> Fine Art Animal Portraits by Lorena Pugh
Animal portraits represent the deep connection a person or family can have with a pet. The hands-on nature of creating these beautiful images makes them very heartwarming and endearing. The process is more personal than a photograph and a good portrait artist will work towards capturing your pet’s personality.
Another reason to consider animal portraits is the value of the piece. You may stumble upon a relatively unknown portrait artist who may turn out to be a popular figure in the artistic community. Your pet’s image may turn out to have much more than sentimental value.
Choosing your portrait artist can be a little difficult considering the many choices. You do want to choose someone who specializes in animal portraits and you want to make sure that this individual uses quality material in the process. A reputable artist will have a portfolio available along with details about your commissioned artwork.
The images make for excellent conversation pieces. We have our pets for such a very short amount of time. You can share fond memories of your pet with others for years and years to come through animal portraits. This may be one of the most important aspects to this kind of commissioned art for hire.
Our pets are sources of inspiration and joy. They are part of the family unit as a whole. Sadly, these valuable family members are with us for a brief time. Animal portraits serve to preserve fond memories of our furry and feathered friends.
Having a pet in the family seems as common in the United States as having children. In fact there are more homes with pets than there are with children because of the number of people that keep animals once they are done raising children and because of the number of young single people that adopt a pet. We spend millions of dollars annually to care for our animal friends. There are many exotic pets that people have tried, but by far the most popular pets continue to be the dog and cat.
The argument over which of these animals makes the best pet has been fought since both were domesticated. As long as a dog lover and cat lover remain alive the argument will not be settled. The one issue of having a pet is taking care of them during vacation. This is where the argument of having a cat or dog gives the advantage point to cats. If you have a clean litter box, an auto pet feeder like the PetSafe Five Meal Auto Pet Feeder, and a large bowl of water a cat can be left for several days on their own. They may not be very happy when you come home and may shun you in the way that cats have perfected through the years, but their care needs will have been taken care of. Unfortunately with a dog they need to be taken outside on a routine basis to urinate and defecate. This means wither hiring someone to come to your house to walk the dog twice a day of boarding the dog at a kennel. We had a neighbor that was willing to come over and take our dogs for a run in the woods in the morning and evening; however we thought it would be easier if we bought the auto pet feeder so he would not have to deal with their food. We have a water spigot on the outside of the house for him to bring fresh water daily. So we thought that if we filled the auto pet feeder he would be able to come over and take care of the dogs in a short period of time.
It is easy to teach your dogs and cats how to use the auto pet feeder — be sure to do that before going away on an extended trip. The auto pet feeder is a great device, but the animals need to be taught that they will be fed by the device without a human standing there.
Like people, your pets – be it cat or dog – can sense when you are tense and likewise, they will adopt your attitude and your unease. As any pet owner knows, having a furry friend further your stress will only worsen your day. Here are some quick tips to relaxing your pet:
First of all, you yourself should relax. These techniques will vary based on what your situation is. Sometimes it can be screaming into a pillow or sometimes it’s a glass of red wine; it’s really up to you.
Animals are aware of the therapeutic value of touch, so once you’ve calmed down, sit down with your dog or cat and just touch them the way that they enjoy. As their primary caretaker, these are the little things that you should be aware of.
Speak to your pet in a soothing voice.
Different pets react differently to stress; some dogs may just want to lie in their dog beds, others may want to go out for a brisk walk outside, so long as they are given attention.
Air Purification Systems can help tremendously with allergies!
There are a great number of people who have allergies. It seems the numbers are increasing all the time. Allergies are something that you can develop at any time in your life, at times those that are developed as adults are more difficult to deal with than childhood reactions. People can develop allergies to anything from foods, to animals to plants. They do tend to be seasonal, unless you are allergic to molds or dust, which are always around us.

There are many things that can be done in the home environment of a person with allergies to help them be more comfortable. For a person that is allergic to dust and other airborne particles remove carpets. Carpeting can trap all sorts of allergens. Also purchase a good air purification system. There are many quality ones on the market today. It does pay to research the air purification system well before purchasing. There are some systems on the market that work very well, however they make so much noise it is difficult to have them running when you are in the same room with them. The main thing you want to insure in purchasing an air purification system is that it is affordable to maintain. Many of the machines that use filters have to have them changed on a regular basis to work properly. If the filters are high priced running this particular machine can get expensive. Also check to see how large of an area the air purification system can handle. For some units you need to have more than one unit in bigger spaces.
There are air purification systems that allow you to try the product for a few days in your home prior to purchase. The sales person explains where to set up the machine to get the best possible results. A good system will provide results within twenty four hours. There will still be mold and mildew to kill after that time, but there will also be a noticeable difference. My husband and I purchased an air purification system to get rid of mold and mildew odors in the basement of our home. The odors are gone and the great side effect is that my husband no longer snores. The system has removed particulates out of the air that causes snoring. Also now that we have the system our neighbor, who is allergic to cats, can spend time in our house without out cats bothering him. The systems of today can work wonders in a short period of time.

It is essential to breathe safe and clean air.
I recently visited friends that have a new baby. I noticed something new about their home that I had never seen before. They had a few air cleaners around the house that seemed to make a huge difference in the air quality. She told me that they got them long before she knew they were having a baby, but thought they were a good thing to have around now that a little one was living with them. I thought it was a great idea, and I was so impressed that I thought I might have to go out and get some of my own.
I don’t really know where to look for air cleaners, but I suppose that you can get them anywhere. They told me that the ones they have are filtered, and the filters do need to be changed on occasion, but not as much as one would think. They assured me that they last a while and I won’t go broke changing the filters in the air cleaners, and that I will think it was the best money I had ever spent. I think I am going to take their word for it and get one that is similar to the ones that they have.
>>> Breathe Safe Air is the ultimate portable air purifier!
I won’t need more than one of these in my home. Getting a few air cleaners at this point would be a waste of money because I don’t have a lot of space. They had two in their two story home and said they were all they needed. I have problems with allergies, and I am hoping the air cleaners can help me out with this a little bit. It seems that they are worse than they were last year, so if a filtered system can help me out, I am willing to give it a try to see.
I think I will begin my search for air cleaners online because I don’t have a lot of time to shop around for them right now, and I want to get one as soon as I can. My allergies are already bad this year, and even my medication can’t seem to get them under control. I don’t imagine they are going to make things worse, so I want to get one soon. I have a good idea of what I am looking for, but even if I didn’t, there are plenty of sites online that cater to this very idea, and have a good explanation of each type of cleaner and how many or what size a home might need.

HEALTHY PET FOOD GUIDELINES FOR ADULT DOGS
The standard amount of Azmira dry to feed is one level cup per 25 pounds of body weight per day (split into two feedings). This means a 50 pound dog would receive one cup on the morning and one cup in the evening. Always supply plenty of fresh water. Remember that feeding amounts may vary according to breed, activity level, temperament, and climate. Puppies and pregnant/lactating bitches have special nutritional needs and may consume ½ to 1 cup per day more and also may require the addition of cottage cheese or another protein rich food.
FEEDING GUIDELINES FOR ADULT CATS
Mature cats normally require ½ cup of dry food daily. When combined with canned food it is necessary to decrease the amount of dry food. Feeding amounts will vary by age, breed, activity level, temperament, and metabolism of the cat. Kittens may consume up to twice the adult level due to growth and activity level.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by pet shedding? Is your couch gaining a fur coat due to your pet shedding its hair? Pet shedding is a normal, natural process. Dealing with your pet shedding his fur is a problem every pet owner must face.
So, if you are plagued with pet shedding problems, here are some tips for you. The New FURminator deShedding Tools are now available for dogs and cats. We offer the FURminator, a deShedding treatment that has your pet shedding 60-80% less in between groomings. Whether for Dogs or Cats, original size, medium, or large, the FURminator deShedding tool is the most effective, easiest to use product to eliminate pet shedding you can find. The FURminator deShedding tool reduces pet shedding by up to 90% when used weekly. The FURminator deShedding tools are designed to quickly remove the pet hair. I have no more cat hair problems! Plus, it works so well at de-shedding, that my Labrador is once more an inside dog. This tool works great on all shedding breeds of dogs and cats, (both long and short-haired). The FURminator works well for most dogs including Golden Retrievers, Terriers, German Shepherds, and Schnauzers. However, it may not be the right grooming tool for certain dog breeds including those that have curly hair or lack an undercoat all together, including Poodles, Shih-tzus, Maltese, Bichons and Portuguese Water Spaniels. The FURminator is unsuitable for non-shedding breeds or pets with acknowledged skin ailments/conditions.
Dog grooming is hard work that requires adequate professional training and a dedication to dogs; it also helps if you genuinely like dogs. But the FURminator makes dog grooming a breeze. There are certain breeds of cats and dogs that shed a lot throughout the whole year, and brushing and combing their hair is essential especially in the case of allergy sufferers. It’s important you teach your cat or dog to get groomed regularly, especially so in the case of certain breeds. In fact long hair is much easier to remove than the short bristly type hair from breeds like Doberman Pinschers, German Shorthairs, etc.
You know the chances of your pet shedding hair is very likely, but some pets shed more than others. Even short haired breeds manage to cover us and our homes with the stuff.
