Gator alert !

An estimated 100,000 alligators live in the ponds ,lakes and rivers of South Carolina.

Florida reports numerous pet deaths due mainly to residential development encroaching on their territory

There are some precautions that you can take when out with your pet.

Attacks occur when unleashed pets are permitted to swim or wander along the banks of ponds and lakes especially at dusk,when gators are most active.

When beaching or anchoring your boat,don't let the dogs jump ashore without checking for lurking gators.

Avoid walking near the edge of lakes ,rivers or streams especially those with murky waters.

Never let your dog swim in areas known to be inhabited by alligators.

And remember that alligators are more active in the warmer weather

New Product At Botanical Dog and Botanical Cat

Petal Cleanse - If you are allergic to your Dog Or Cat


Your first and last stop for safe pet allergy relief!

Petal Cleanse™ Frequently Asked Questions
Why Petal Cleanse™?
Pet ownership is higher than any other time in history, with more companion animals spending a larger percentage of their lives indoors. This has led to an increase in the number of cases of reported allergy-induced illnessed reported each year (ie. eczema, asthma, sutffiness, chronic congestion, and hives just to name a few). This in turn has caused a significant increase in the number of animals that are being given up for adoption to kill and no-kill shelters. Petal Cleanse™ is the answer to more than 90% of these unwanted pet surrenders!

What is Petal Cleanse™?
Petal Cleanse™™/C for cats and Petal Cleanse™™/D for dogs, are clear, colorless liquids composed of a delicate balance of Cleanse™rs and moisturizers that gently remove the dander, saliva and urine from the coat, and encapsulate the allergy-causing compounds known as Fel d1 and Can f1, as well as other microscopic allergens. The moisturizers condition the coat and skin to further reduce the amount of material shed.
