Nurtured Pets™ Participates in Chicago’s first annual Dog Day on the Green

New Philadelphia, Ohio – (July 27, 2009) An abundance of tails will be wagging to beat the band at the inaugural launch of Chicago’s Dog Day on the Green. This eco-friendly, fun family festival for dog owners and dog lovers of all ages will take place near Soldier Field at
1410 S. Museum Campus Drive on Sunday, August 2, 2009.

A full day of exciting activities is scheduled for both owners and pets, from the Fido Fashion Show to the Doggy Olympics to the “Hoop and Hurdles” agility test. But just in case a scrape, minor bruise or bee sting should happen to a participating pet, there will also be plenty of Anti-Lick Strip Prevent™ pet bandages on hand, courtesy of Nurtured Pets.

These unique, patent-pending pet bandages are clinically proven to discourage pets from obsessive licking, biting and chewing – behaviors that can lead to more serious conditions such as hot spots or lick granulomas. They’re also a great alternative to the E-collar for post-surgical sites.

On the outside, each bandage is constructed with all-natural, active outfacing ingredients, such as cayenne pepper, clove oil and oregano, that deter pets from bothering problem spots so they have a chance to heal.  A peel-and-stick, medical-grade adhesive on the opposite side can be applied directly to hair or skin. 

Anti-Lick Strip Prevent pet bandages can be used as a protective covering to help promote healing, or applied at the first sign of biting or licking. So a product like this belongs in every pet parent’s first aid kit. And pet parents will be glad to know that Anti-Lick Strip Prevent products are veterinarian-approved and manufactured in the United States.

According to Cindy Miller, Marketing Director at Nurtured Pets, “we’re thrilled to be charter exhibitors at this festive family event.”  To check out these revolutionary bandages in person, be sure to visit the Nurtured Pets booth during Dog Day on the Green. Anti-Lick Strip samples will handed out in small, medium and large sizes. For more information or to find a retailer near you, visit www.nurturedpets.com.
