Shadow's Stuff Helps Dogs Lead Better Lives
By K. McCafferty, Fri Dec 9th

Our furry friends also need pure and gentle skincare. No oneknows this better than Spring Rain Botanicals owner, KarenMcCafferty. “ As an animal lover, I always worked to helpanimals in any way I could. When our Shadow’s skin conditionquickly worsened I knew that I could create natural forhim as well.” From that moment, Shadow’s Stuff was born. Shadowwas a West Highland Terrier, and had beautiful white, silky fur.As he grew order, his skin became red and itchy; soon he waschewing and itching so much that he would often bleed. As humanscan acquire eczema through heredity, dogs can also have a formof atopic eczema as seen in different breeds. Through experiencewith customers, Karen finds that it is mainly owners of Terrieror mixed Terrier breeds that often seek out her products. “WithShadow we tried changing his diet, commercial shampoos and evencortisone when it finally dawned on me that if I could helphumans with skin problems, I could definitely help Shadow.”Karen researched just the right combination of natural skinconditioners and other botanicals that would both help skinheal, yet be safe to dogs. “Overall it took just a couple ofdays to see that Shadow was not itching as frequently, and abouta month before new fur was growing back in those bald spots.”Karen stresses that her dog products are only be used on dogs.Her ingredients are tailored to dogs’ ability to handle certainingredients and do contain essential oils in small amounts. Herproducts are not to be used on cats or other animals, especiallysince cats do not have the ability to metabolize many essentialoils. As a rule, cats don’t need the frequent bathing andskincare that dogs do, however there are always exceptions tothe rule if you have a cat with a skin condition. If you need acat shampoo, Karen will gladly create a ‘cat safe’ shampoo foryou, simply email her at km@springrainbotanicals.com . Shadow’sStuff

consists of a line of natural, chemical free andvegetarian products that ironically are tested on humans. Oncethey are determined safe and gentle on human skin, Karen willthen use them on her own furry babies. Diamond in the RuffShampoo, and her best seller, Itchy Skin Relief Cream are anindispensable combination. She also offers Healing Pad Ointment,Furry Friend Sunscreen and Bye Bye Buggy insect repellant. Thecomplete line can be seen at www.springrainbotanicals.com . ByeBye Buggy is not to be used instead of the veterinarianprescribed flea and tick preparations that keep your friend safethrough the season. Instead their bug repellant is to be used ondogs to keep immediate bugs from bothering them, such as fliesand other pests. Furry Friend Sunscreen is useful for the bridgeof nose, on the visible skin where the fur naturally parts, andany other bald or areas where you feel protection may be needed.All of Spring Rain Botanicals products, whether for humans orfur people, were developed out of Karen’s own family’s need forgentle to ease allergic reactions.
