Ten Amazing No-Kill Pet Rescues You Should Know

Each year, around 4 million dogs will end up in an animal shelter. Of those, 35% will be adopted to new homes, 26% will be returned to their owners and devastatingly, 31% will be euthanised. But there are certain organizations who are striving to change that, pushing for no-kill legislation and helping to bring about major change in the rescue community to help save animal lives. Here are just ten organizations that work tirelessly to reduce euthanasia rates in the US, saving lives and increasing awareness at the same time.   Best Friends Animal Society, Utah One of the most well known organizations in the no-kill shelter movement, Best Friends started in Utah but has since expanded to Los Angeles, Jacksonville, Alburquerque, San Antonio and more through involvement in their No More Homeless Pets Network partner program. Dane County Humane Society, Wisconsin The Dane County shelter has an open admission policy, meaning that they will take in any animal in need. They also, impressively, guarantee that any healthy dog or cat will be rehomed.

All Natural Flea Remedies

Flea season has been getting longer in some parts of the country, making the process of ridding our pets of these pesky critters a harder task. And while many pet owners turn to harsh, chemical-filled flea and tick treatments to solve the problem, there are many all-natural options that are gentler and less toxic to our furry friends. Perfect for pet owners looking to give their pets an all-natural lifestyle. Here are our favorites: Juice Fleas are known to hate anything citrus so the juice of a fresh lemon or orange can help keep these critters at bay. A couple of tablespoons of juice can be rubbed onto your dog’s coat and will act as a natural, fruity repellant. ACV Flea Spray This all-natural flea repellent spray will not just deter fleas, it will also make your dog’s coat lustrous and glossy. Mix a cup of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (we recommend using Braggs) with a quart of water in a large spray bottle. You can also add a few drops of Lavender oil to make the mixture smell more fragrant. Mist your dog all over, avoiding the nose, eyes and ears. Homemade Flea Collar A flea collar is a…

Celebrate National Dog Biscuit Day with Noah’s Bark!

Today is International Dog Biscuit Day and the best way to celebrate is with Noah’s Bark, All Natural Dog Biscuits! Our biscuits provide healthier options for pets without additives and fillers. They make the perfect treat for any adorable pup! Did you know that dog biscuits were originally invented in the mid-19th century by James Spratt, an American manufacturer? After visiting Liverpool, England he witnessed hungry dogs sneaking into a nearby ship’s biscuit stash and decided to come up with a recipe just for dogs. The recipe has been a secret for years, but was said to contain a mixture of meat and veggies—just like our Noah’s Bark Biscuits! Noah’s Bark Founder and CEO Michelle Volk explains, “If it isn’t good enough for me, it isn’t good enough for my dog or yours. Eat healthy. Treat healthy. The healthier the food, the healthier and happier the dog. Ingredients do make a difference!” If you purchase one of our products today, Noah’s Bark will donate a bag of Noah’s Bark All Natural Dog Biscuits to a local shelter for every bag purchased. Get your bag of Noah’s Bark All Natural Bscuits today! We’d love to hear and see how you’re celebrating…

Things to Consider When Gifting a Puppy for Valentine’s Day

There’s no doubt about it, Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular holidays celebrated around the world. Every year on February 14th, we shower our loved ones with flowers, candy and even puppies! If you’re thinking about gifting your special Valentine a pup this year, there are a couple things you should consider before giving a fluffy, four-legged present! Is your Valentine ready to take on the responsibilities of caring for a puppy? Yes, we know what you’re thinking — who wouldn’t love getting an adorable puppy? But the responsibilities of taking care of a dog, especially a puppy, can be extremely demanding. Be sure to think about these important question before making any commitments. Does your Valentine have a busy schedule? This is a very important question to ask when gifting a pup because taking care of a new puppy requires almost 24-hour attention. Does his or her schedule allow enough time to supervise and bond with the new pup? This is a common mistake to avoid; all too often, hastily-gifted puppies wind up with owners who are just too busy, and these dogs unfortunately end up in animal shelters. Adopt Don’t Shop! With thousands of puppies and dogs up…

If you have a pet, you understand the importance of having readily available chew toys for your dogs to entertain themselves at all times. With more harmful chew toys on the market than ever, it is our jobs as pet owners to educate ourselves on the products that are not safe for our beloved fur babies. We’ve put together a list of some of the most common questions dog owners have been asking… What’s a good chew for dogs? Technically, none! Dogs by nature have the urge to chew on anything and everything, so it’s extremely important for us to supply our pets with the safest chew toys depending on your dog’s size and weight. Chewing for pets helps reduce stress and anxiety and is a great form of entertain for them when you leave for the day but it’s important to do your research before purchasing any new chew toy to ensure the safety of your pets.

How to “Green” Your Dog’s Routine

It’s never too late to start going green! The new year is a great time to start a new routine for both your dog and yourself to help reduce your collective carbon footprint. Here are some tips on ways to “green” your pet’s routine. Biodegradable Bags As pet owners, we all know that cleaning up after our animal’s bathroom breaks is an essential part of ensuring our pets’ health. But what kind of bag do you use? A plastic bag can take hundreds of years to break down. Every bag that ends up in our woodlands or ocean threatens wildlife. That’s why we recommend using biodegradable bags to clean up after your pets! We suggest Pets N Bags; these eco-friendly waste bags are available on Amazon. The pre-rolled bags fit directly into most leash dispensers and are easy to open and detach from the roll with a clever tear-off design. Eco-friendly Fun When it comes to toys, it’s extremely important to make sure you are providing your pets with toys made from recycled materials and sustainable fibers. Some of our favorite eco-friendly toys from West Paw Design are made from recyclable materials, are latex-free and come in an array of…

New Year’s Resolutions You Can Accomplish with Your Pet

With every new year comes new resolutions. It’s the perfect time to set new goals - for you and your pet! Here’s a list of some fun and easy resolutions you and your furry sidekick can do together to jumpstart the New Year! Keep them moving: Trying new activities can be beneficial for you and your pup. Whether you try doga, go hiking, or simply make an effort to visit the dog park more often, exercise is necessary for pets and owners alike to maintain a happy and active lifestyle. If you can’t make it to the dog park, then get your pets out of the house by taking them on daily walks. Pent-up animals can easily become anxious and restless, so it’s important to keep your pets moving. If the weather is too cold or rainy, try playing inside with their favorite toy. No matter what you do, the idea is to keep them moving! Brushing your dog’s teeth: Brushing your dog’s teeth at least once a week can help prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar, which can lead to serious infections such as gingivitis and gum disease.

Noah’s Bark | 5 Healthy Human Food for Your Dog

5 Healthy Human Foods That Are Healthy for Your Dog With the hustle and bustle of the Howliday Season, it’s easy for your pets eating habits to go unnoticed. As pet owners, it’s important for us to understand our pet’s diet. Lucky for you, there’s plenty of “human foods” that are beneficial for pets, as well. 1. Apples: Apples are a great source of natural fiber and loaded with vitamin A and C. Not only do apples benefit your dog’s digestive track, they also help reduce residue on a dog’s teeth and freshen breath — a dream come true for any pet owner! Dogs can enjoy apples with the skin on, BUT be sure to remove the seeds, as they can be a choking hazard. 2. Green Beans: Packed full of iron and vitamins such as vitamin A, K and C, green beans contain antioxidants that prevent cancer. This low-calorie vegetable makes a great snack for any dog and also a great option for any pup looking to shed a couple pounds due to the high fiber content. Be sure to feed your pets FRESH green beans. Canned beans too often contain high, unhealthy salt content. 3. Yogurt: Plain, sugar-free…

Noah’s Bark | How to Support Your Local Shelter During the Holiday Season

Tis’ the season of giving! But we don’t mean gift giving: We’re talking about giving back. With all this free time off work, there’s no better time to start! Have you ever thought about volunteering an hour of your time to an animal shelter? Here’s how you can start. 1. Fostering a Pet: Most animal shelters operate at full capacity and are always looking for new foster parents to take in animals for the short-term, while shelter staff members search for their furever homes. Most shelters provide all the food, toys, and supplies you’ll need to watch over foster pets. Not only is fostering a pet beneficial for the animals that have been cooped up in a shelter for too long, it’s great for us humans, too! There’s nothing like the warm and fuzzy feelings we get from helping others in need, especially when they are adorable animals. 2.Volunteering Your Time: Volunteering your time to a local animal shelter is more helpful than you may think. Shelter volunteers provide the hands-on attention animals need to get adopted. It’s important for the animals to socialize and interact with humans, especially the ones that have not had much human contact due to…
