The Following Companies Are My Sponsors
SmartPak Canine (SmartPakCanine.com)
This wonderful family-owned company is a legend in the horse world for how they have simplified and improved the quality of supplements for pleasure and performance horses.
Now they want to do the same thing for dogs - and I am honored that the SmartPak family has asked me to consult and partner with them to come up with a balanced, nutritious innovative three-course "prix fixe" dinner plan. (Read more on the SmartPak Canine page.)
PURR'N POOCH (www.purrnpooch.com) *NEWEST SPONSOR*

DR. ELSEY'S CAT ATTRACT LITTER (preciouscat.com/precious-attract-p-5.html )
This wonderful private company, owned and run by a veterinarian who is a Feline Practitioner has joined Tracie's team as a website sponsor.
Tracie has been recommending Cat Attract for Out of Litter Box issues for a long time, without even knowing it is a privately owned company dedicated to keeping cats using their litter boxes so they stay with their families. It works because of the texture of Cat Attract and the herbs in it do literally attract the cat to the box. You'll be hearing more soon about all the philanthropic efforts Dr. Elsey has made to get his litter into animal shelters for those kitties, too. Learn more on the special page dedicated to Cat Attract but here is a discount coupon to get you started trying it: You can print out the coupon by going to www.preciouscat.com/Cat_Attract_Coupon_Save_One_Dollar.pdf.
VECTRA® 3D (www.vectrapet.com)
Finally! My dogs are safe with Vectra 3D! This new topical anti-tick and flea treatment keeps away the ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, sand flies, lice and mites — but if any do make it past the repellent, they will be eliminated fast and reliably for the entire month.
I understand that many people may have concerns about ectoparasite treatments, but please don't let that stop you from using topical protection. Vector-borne diseases are just too awful. It's putting your head in the sand not to get the newest and best protection that modern science has come up with. Ask your veterinarian to get Vectra 3D for you.

HALO (www.halopets.com)
Tracie's finally found a dog food she is really happy to feed her own dogs and proud to recommend to you. Halo productsare made of super dooper ingredients but just as importantly it's a small private company (Ellen DeGeneres bought part of it) and they are genuinely dedicated to pet health. There is also a corporate emphasis on "giving back" and to making impressive charitable donations to shelters sand rescues where the less fortunate felines and canines need great food too.
$5.00 HALO COUPON
VERY COOL $5 DISCOUNT! Do you want to try Halo Spot's Stew? Or do you already love it and just want a bargain?! Use this $5 coupon as you wish and let me know how you like my favorite dry dog food!
WERUVA pet foods follows my saying “Weruva is the crème de la creme of cat foods” because the food is made of recognizable pieces of free range chicken breast meat (and they also do NOT make any high-profit kibble) They think entirely “outside the bag,” as everyone who listens to CAT CHAT® is urged to do. (Read more on the Weruva page.)
Spirit Essences (www.spiritessences.com)
To my utter amazement, giving a combination of two Spirit Essences (Nervous Nelly and Stress Free) has actually changed my dogs personalities! Scooby Doo, my over-reactive, neurotic, always-worried Weimaraner is now chilled out about things that used to rattle him entirely. Jazzy, a very territorial and loud-mouthed Border Collie/Sled dog mix, who barked her head off at arriving people (and was standoffish with them when they arrived), now has Safe Space in her food and barks a couple of times and then walks away, later sitting by the peoples' feet in the house. It has blown my mind, since I thought Spirit Essences were primarily for the emotional issues of cats — but not at all.I can vouch that most any emotional part of a dog's behavior can be improved with the right Essences - along with behavior modification and training in some cases. Please call in and or write in and let's talk about which ones might be right for your four-legged family member!

NORDIC NATURALS: I only recently discovered the importance to our dogs and cats (and to us!) of having Omega-3 fish oils - only from Norway - added to their diets. I idiscovered that the Norwegian government has the strictest standards of purity and freshness in the oils they permit to be sold. Nordic Naturals is a world-renowned company that packages these purified oils, both for people and pets. (Read more on the Nordic Naturals page.)
PLATINUM PERFORMANCE supplements has been sponsoring DOG TALK® and its website since its first incarnation as a podcast. (Read more on the Platinum Performance page.)
The Canny Company (www.cannyco.com)
I have finally found a collar that makes it non-stress and non-adversarial to have my dogs on a leash. My dogs are rarely on leashes - I have the ultimate privilege of being able to go on long walks with them entirely off-leash. However, there are times when a leash is necessary - when leaving the gorgeous meadows and woods to get back into the car, when going to the vet, and so forth - and until the Canny Collar I dreaded having to put all three of them on leashes. I had whiplash, arm-out-of-socket and aching-hand experiences that were certainly not befitting a supposed dog expert!

BEST FRIENDS FENCE makes a wonderful product I was able to use myself to enclose over 12 acres of hilly forest.
Purrfect Fence (www.purrfectfence.com)
It's been years now that I have been recommending Purrfect fence - the unique fencing system that allows kitties to be outdoors safely and is easy to install yourself. Well now you can welcome Purrfect Fence to the CAT CHAT® family as sponsors of the website. This product makes it so easy to follow the CAT CHAT® motto of "indoors only" because a cat-safe enclosure fits into that credo. Have a look at their page on this website and learn more by going to their own website. Give your kitties the freedom and fresh air they crave without putting their lives in danger - that's pretty simple, isn't it?!

About My Sponsors
Over the years of researching THE DOG BIBLE and THE CAT BIBLE and in preparing and broadcasting DOG TALK® and CAT CHAT®, I came across products, companies and services which stood out above all others. Some I wrote about in the books or in emails, others I wrote about on my website and other internet sites, some I spoke about on the air or in public presentations. A few companies discovered I was championing them and were grateful for the unexpected endorsement, while others had no idea I was an unofficial ambassador for their product or their industry.
Over time I have begun to reach out to a select few of these companies and invited them to be a sponsor of this website. I am humbled to say that each of them was eager to have that alliance with my website, my name and what I stand for – finding out the truth for pet parents, speaking my mind without limitations, and seeking the finest in goods and services. The sponsorship of these companies allows me to continue maintaining the website with the highest standard of constantly updated content and reliability, which is costly in both time and expense because nobody pays to be linked here. In fact, nobody can pay to be on my website – every link is here because I chose them and invited them aboard, mostly because what they had to offer was public services or something unusual that might not otherwise be found. The sponsors make it possible for other companies – whether large or so small they cannot afford marketing – to find an audience here.
Unlike the majority of websites you come across, there is nothing for sale on this website – and I have no idea who “clicks” where and does what with it. I’m just putting it all out there for you and hope you’ll take advantage of it. Many of my sponsors have offered discounts to you – including THE HONEST KITCHEN, WERUVA, PETS BEST & PETCO – all did so because they understood that my listeners and readers trust my opinion and follow my advice, which I do not give lightly. It has become another “something valuable “ I feel I can make available to you.
