Are CocoTherapy® Coconut Chips Different from Dehydrated Coconut Chips found in Health Food Stores?
Are CocoTherapy® Coconut Chips Different from Dehydrated Coconut Chips found in Health Food Stores?
From the Facebook Page of CocoTherapy®:
We often receive questions on the differences between organic coconut flakes you can buy at health food stores and CocoTherapy® Coconut Chips. While many of the benefits may be similar, CocoTherapy Coconut Chips are made specifically for maximum digestibility, while the traditional dehydrated coconut chips are not. What you see here may surprise you.Dehydrated coconut meat is rich in nutrients and fiber; however it can be difficult to digest for most animals. We produce our CocoTherapy Coconut Chips in a special way to be highly digestible and easily assimilated in the body, while providing all the beneficial nutrients from medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). Unlike other dehydrated coconut chips or flakes available in your grocery aisles or even health food stores, CocoTherapy coconut chips break down easily and quickly with just water.
Proof is in the Chips
The digestive system of some animals can not tolerate the typical raw dehydrated coconut chips found in grocery stores. Feeding your pets typical dehydrated coconut chips may stress their digestive system and often times the undigested coconut chips are passed either in the animal’s stool or vomit. However, our CocoTherapy Coconut Chips were uniquely developed to be easily digestible for animals. To see how quickly CocoTherapy coconut chips break down, we took a leading dehydrated organic coconut chips brand (purchased from a popular health food store) and CocoTherapy Coconut Chips and placed them in a saucer of water.Here, you can see typical dehydrated organic coconut chips (left) and CocoTherapy Coconut Chips (right), placed in a saucer full of water:
In just a 30 seconds, the CocoTherapy Coconut Chips (right) already began to break down:
In just under a minute, the CocoTherapy Coconut Chips (right) has broken down in the water; while the other organic coconut chips (left) has no changes at all:
In just three minutes, the CocoTherapy Coconut Chips (right) have completely absorbed the water and has a smooth, soft texture. The other organic coconut chips (left) have not broken down and still has water in the saucer:
CocoTherapy Coconut Chips are perfect for providing highly digestible fiber for animals with digestive disorders, IBD, colitis, while providing all the nutritional benefits of coconut oil. It is easily digested by dogs, cats, birds, and other small mammals.

Go Hemp
History of Hemp
Cannabis sativa is the Latin name for hemp, which means "useful plant". The Columbia History of the World states that the oldest relic of human industry is a bit of hemp fabric dating back to approximately 8,000 BC. Materials made from hemp have been discovered in tombs dating back to 8,000 B.C.
Christopher Columbus sailed to America on ships rigged with hemp. Early New World explorers sailed the seas with wind driven hemp sails.
George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp. Thomas Jefferson valued hemp so much that growing areas were included in the design plans for Monticello. He also invented hemp-processing equipment, which was used in this country for 50 years.
Americans were legally bound to grow hemp during the Colonial Era and Early Republic.
Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag from hemp.
Properties of Hemp
Hemp requires no herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and fertilizer. Hemp also restores nutrients to the soil, which are then available to the next crop planted in rotation.
Hemp is a valuable and profitable rotation crop.
The bark of the hemp stalk contains fibers, which are among the Earth's longest natural soft fibers. Hemp fiber is longer, stronger, more absorbent and more insulating than cotton fiber.
Hemp stalk contains no THC.
Textile Uses of Hemp
Hemp is an extremely fast growing crop, producing more fiber yield per acre than any other source.
Hemp can produce 250% more fiber than cotton and 600% more fiber than flax using the same amount of land without chemicals. The amount of land needed for obtaining equal yields of fiber place hemp at an advantage over other fibers.
Products made from hemp will outlast their competition by many years. Not only is hemp strong, but it also holds its shape, stretching less than any other natural fiber. This prevents hemp collars from stretching out or becoming distorted with use.
Hemp webbing creates a comfortable, non-allergenic collar for your dog.
The longer hemp collars are worn and washed, the softer the fabric becomes. Hemp is also naturally resistant to mold and ultraviolet light.
Hemp collars retain colors.
Due to the porous nature of the fiber, hemp will dye and retain its color better than any fabric including cotton. The porous nature of hemp allows it to breathe making it cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Dog beds made from hemp fabrics keep your dog more comfortable year round.
Pulp Uses of Hemp
Forests in the United States are being cut down approximately three times faster than we can replant them.
It takes 20 years to grow a tree suitable to produce pulp used to make paper. It takes 4 months to grow hemp suitable to produce pulp used to make paper.
Hemp produces more pulp per acre than timber. Estimates are as high as 4 times as much pulp per acre than trees.
Much of the world's paper was made from hemp until about 1850. Now all newspapers, copy paper, magazines, Etc. are produced from wood pulp.Hemp pulp can be converted to paper with less acids, and chlorine then wood pulp. Less bleaching helps preserve our natural environment.
Hemp paper lasts longer then wood paper and contains less acids and chemicals. Hemp paper does not yellow with age. Hemp paper as old as 1,500 years has been discovered.
Many countries use hemp paper for important documents such as archives, historical documents, financial notes, and deeds.
Hemp paper can be recycled more times than paper made from wood pulp.
Other Uses of Hemp
Hemp has an output equivalent to around 1000 gallons of methanol per acre per year. Methanol used today is mainly made from natural gas, a fossil fuel. Methanol is currently being studied as a primary fuel for automobiles.Hemp plants produce more fiber and protein than most other plants.
Hemp oils and seeds are used as a food source throughout the world. Hemp seeds may be used to create flour and butter substitutes.
Japanese use hemp seeds as a condiment. Next time you are in a Japanese restaurant, look for the little bottle of ground spices called Togarashi. Reading the ingredient label of this popular Japanese spice, you will see "Roasted Hemp Seeds".
Hemp is a true wood substitute. Basically, anything made from wood, can be made from hemp.
Hemp fiberboard produced by Washington State University was found to be twice as strong as wood-based fiberboard.
Hemp in the United States
The United States has not granted any hemp permits in 40 years. Canada, which is becoming an active leader in hemp production and research, has a rapidly expanding hemp industry. China and Europe have thriving hemp industries.
Many states are investigating the use of hemp. Vermont, Hawaii, and North Dakota have legislated for research to investigate opportunities of industrial hemp farming.
Benefits of Hemp Collars and products
Earth Friendly
Comfortable and Soft Feel for your Dog
Durable and Color Fast
Machine Washable (line dry to protect the buckles)
Hypo-allergenic
Last, but not least, another "Cool Dud for your Dog".

Living a Charmed Life
We have some really exciting news.... Pawhaus Pet Boutique is proud to introduce Chartreuse Design Pet Charms. Exclusive to our shop! and we LOVE that these Lampwork beads are specially handcrafted and unique. They are original pieces of art using a centuries-old process called lampworking. Lampworking is glassworking using a torch to melt and shape colorful rods of glass. The molten glass is then wound around a steel rod, forming a basic bead which is then embellished and decorated using a variety of techniques and materials, creating unique and one-of-a-kind beads. 
Each one is original - so if you see one you like, better grab it before it's gone!

The Comfy Cone
** New Product Buzz **
The Comfy Cone is a soft, comfortable alternative to the plastic lampshade surgery recovery collar for pets. Prevents pets from licking, biting, scratching or pulling stitches out of wounds. Great for hot spots, allergies, post-surgery and any time you need to protect your pet.
Better than a hard plastic e-collar because it's comfy! Easily folds down to allow your pet to sleep and eat in a normal position. No more bumping into the walls. No more pushing the food dish across the floor, trying to eat or drink. No more stress from not being able to see. No more running smack into the pet door.
The Comfy Cone is comfortable, washable and flexible. Just as effective as a plastic cone, but made of durable fabric. Folds back if needed so you can adjust the length, increase your pet's visibility, assist with mealtimes or allow you to examine your pet more closely. Try that with a hard plastic cone! Attaches with Velcro, which is fastened all along the seam. This allows you to not only get a very comfortable, custom fit, but it also allows you to adjust how wide you want the open end to be. Change easily from a wider cone to a more narrow tube-like shape, depending on what your pet needs. Comfy Cone won Best New Product at the SuperZoo 2007 New Products Plaza.
Features:
- Made of durable rip-stop nylon
- Elastic loops so you can slip your dog's collar through - helps it stay on
- Thin foam inside - keeps collar's shape without being hard
- Wipes clean with damp cloth
- Lightweight
- Machine washable
- Sturdy stitching and binding
- Folds flat for easy storage
- Velcro closure for greatest range of adjustment
- Reflective trim around edge for safety
- Use again and again
- Folds back if needed
- Affordable

SleepyPod for Pampered Pets
From PetSugar
We talk so much about crates and carriers, and how handy they are when it comes to travel, but the design of this carrier seems to be totally unique . . . and perfect for the kitties! Sleepypod ($149.99) is a plush resting place for your tiny pal (up to 15 pounds) that's easy to care for, and best of all — take anywhere.
Since I can't stress enough about how important car safety is, this carrier is PetSugar approved, since both the sleek Sleepypod comes equipped to be buckled in while your animal sleeps inside. I remember trying to lure my childhood cat, Precious, into one of those standard plastic carriers — there wasn't a single appealing thing about it and, I swear when she saw it, she knew it was time for the vet! This carrier, however, could easily double up as a pet's bed – with the removable top off — and it seems easier to coax a kitty inside this cuddly creation than a hard, sterile one. To make nap time even cozier, Sleepypod has an available Warmer ($67) that slips into the bottom layer, keeping your pets comfy on chilly nights . . . and, just to get a little more geeky, it even has a car adapter to keep the toasty warmth coming on the road! Maybe this should have been a Spoiled Sweet or Rotten poll, no?

Sidewalk Dangers
From the Pages of http://www.petsugar.com/
In addition to releasing heat with those dangly tongues, doggies also sweat through the pads of their feet. Now imagine what that would be like if they were trying to get rid of their own excess heat . . . onto already scalding sidewalks. Hot pavement can burn puppy paw pads – and since animals are much closer to the ground, they heat up quicker than we do and can be in special danger.
When walking your pup in scorching climates, try to stick to shady sides and save longer strolls for when the sun is low, like morning and evening. If you're not sure how sizzling the street or sand is, test it out on your bare foot or hand – if it feels too hot for you, it's probably also too hot for your pet!
Product Buzz: Check out our Paw Balm - an all natural Paw Rub is formulated to protect, heal, and moisturize.

Who let the Cat out?
Outdoor Enclosures - from Cats International
Aside from leash-training, there is another way to let your cat enjoy the stimulation of being outdoors without the risk of being lost, stolen, or injured--build an outdoor enclosure.
It can be any size, but a 6' x 6' x 6' area is sufficient. The vertical space can be utilized by attaching perches to the sides of the structure. If the enclosure is against the side of the house, then only three sides plus a wire roof (cats are great climbers!) are necessary.
and eliminate your job as doorman or taxi (if the pen is further out in the yard). Solid redwood two-by-fours and 2" x 3" galvanized wire makes a very attractive play area, but you can choose the materials that best suit your budget.
The primary requirements are that the structure be sturdy and escape-proof. A wire door will provide you with access to the inside to clean it and to rearrange the decor from time-to-time. Wooden cat trees, logs and other natural items placed inside the pen will give Kitty choices for perching and scratching.
If the enclosure is not attached to the house, there should be a solid wooden box, or "dog house" inside to provide Kitty with a safe, dry, place in which to hide, take refuge from a sudden rain shower, or just take a catnap.
It only takes a little bit of effort, a small financial investment in materials, and a modicum of imagination to add a wonderful new dimension to your cat's life.
