Made in USA pet supplies

Let's face it, labor is cheap in China and so many companies here in the US have outsourced their production to China.  That doesn't mean we have to give up on supporting our companies here in the United States that DO make their pet products here.

Most are small, family owned businesses and we need to remember in order to keep jobs here, we must pay a little more for our dog treats and dog toys.  The cost of labor is definitely higher, so the price of products will cost more.  It is only logical.
Consumers must be willing to pay more for made in USA pet products.

At Mickey's Pet Supplies we proudly support those small companies.

You will find dog toys from Doggie Styles and Kitty too.  They are a small company based out of Vermont.  They hire home sewers that make all their toys.  The dog and cat toys are all very well made and we can attest, they are very durable too.

West Paw Design makes great dog toys and they are based in Montana.  They have durable rubber dog toys made from their Zogoflex material and plush stuffed and unstuffed toys.
Planet Dog Toys are also a US company.  They make very durable rubber toys for dogs.
We also carry a toy called Henry's Toy, which is made in North Carolina, our home state. 

All of the companies we choose to represent on our website are all generous supporters of animal rescue organizations.  They give back with foundations to national and local non-profits for animals.

Mickey's Pet Supplies has natural and healthy dog treats, dog bones and dog chews made in the USA.
You will find only the highest quality treats from companies like K9 Granola Factory, Plato, Zukes, Kona's Chips, Sojos, Arctic Paws, Cloud Star, Sam's Yams, Whole Life Pet, Cocotherapy, Overby Farms, Wholesome Hide rawhides, Jones Natural Chews, Merrick and Smokehouse Pet.

We also have our own brand of made in USA, odorless bully sticks with different thicknesses to choose from.  We are the only company that grades our bully sticks by weight.  That means that you get a dense chew, thus a longer lasting bully stick. Our Monster bully sticks are very popular with bigger, more aggressive chewers.

Hypoallergenic Dog Treats

Did you know that over 20% of dogs have allergies to specific meat and grains?
Ten percent of all allergy cases in dogs are food allergies. Dogs also can suffer from food intolerance, which is different from a food allergy.
The common signs of a food allergy in dogs is chronic ear infections, digestive problems, licking of paws and feed, diarrhea and an itchy rear end.
The most common allergens are beef, dairy, wheat, egg, chicken, lamb, soy, pork, rabbit, and fish. And, most dogs are usually allergic to more than one thing.

What Are the General Symptoms of Allergies in Dogs?

• Itchy, red, moist or scabbed skin
• Increased scratching
• Itchy, runny eyes
• Itchy back or base of tail (most commonly flea allergy)
• Itchy ears and ear infections
• Sneezing
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Snoring caused by an inflamed throat
• Paw chewing/swollen paws
• Constant licking 

Allergic dogs may also suffer from secondary bacterial or yeast skin infections, which may cause hair loss, scabs or crusts on the skin. 
The only way to diagnose a food allergy is to feed your dog a prescription or hydrolyzed protein diet exclusively for 12 weeks. The importance of not feeding your dog anything but the diet cannot be emphasized enough—that means no treats, table food or flavored medication. This diet will be free of potential allergy-causing ingredients and will ideally have ingredients your dog has never been exposed to. He’ll remain on the diet until his symptoms go away, at which time you’ll begin to reintroduce old foods to see which ones might be causing the allergic reaction. Most veterinarians take your dog off all the foods it's eating and then put him on a food that he's never had before. With all the exotic diets out there now, this can be pretty difficult. Once the dog has improved, you start reintroducing the old foods that may have caused the problems in the first place. If your dog has a reaction, which usually takes a few days to a few weeks, then you know he has a food allergy.

Dog can develop an allergy to a food that they have eaten for years.
Holistic veterinarians are recommending the use of probiotics at an early age for puppies and kittens.
Their feeling is that these help maintain the balance in the gut and maybe stave off the development of allergies later.

Once your veterinarian has determined what kind of allergies your dog has then you are now challenged to find treats that do not contain the meat source or grains your dog is allergic to.

Who to call when a dog is in a car?

Animals can suffer brain damage or death from heatstroke in just 15 minutes. Beating the heat is extra tough for dogs because they can only cool themselves by panting and sweating through their paw pads.
A parked car on a 90-degree day, the interior temperature can reach as high as 160 degrees in less than 10 minutes.
What do you do when you see a dog in a car at the grocery store? If you see a dog left alone in a car, take down the car's color, model, make, and license plate number. Have the owner paged in the store, or call local humane authorities or police. Have someone keep an eye on the dog. Don't leave the scene until the situation has been resolved. 

 Walk into the nearby store and speak with a store manager. I have found store managers to be very helpful in locating the owner or calling animal control.
    If police are unresponsive or too slow and the dog's life appears to be in imminent danger, find a witness (or several) who will back up your assessment, take steps to remove the suffering animal, and then wait for authorities to arrive.

It is illegal anywhere to leave a dog for more than 5 minutes in a car.
Don't just walk away and think that the owner is coming right back.  What is something happened inside the store and they couldn't get back in the 5 minutes they thought it would take.  Maybe the line is longer than anticipated to checkout or perhaps they bumped into a friend to talk.
Call the police right away.  Have the non emergency phone number of your police department saved as a favorite on your cell phone.
Act right away, please. Minutes count. 
In Wilmington, NC  the animal control number is (910) 798-7500

We felt the need to post this information, as today we saw a dog left in a car at our local Harris Teeter and acted on this situation right away.  There is no excuse for leaving an animal in a car!
