The Pet Postcard Project

What is The Pet Postcard Project?

THE PET POSTCARD PROJECT is the brainchild of writer Nikki Moustaki.

One bowl (or one pound or more) of pet food for every qualifying postcard received goes to animal shelters! To date, this project has raised nearly $18,000 and 90,000 pounds of food for shelter animals!

Pet Postcards" for this project are homemade postcards featuring your own pets that you make and then snail mail into The Pet Postcard Project. Each card you send earns food for shelter dogs (sometimes 1 pound per card, sometimes more!). So far, this project has earned 90,000 lbs (that's 360,000 meals!) of food and $18,000 for shelter animals, and has received thousands of cards -- funny, weird, sad, cute, profound, and above all, all filled with LOVE for a beloved pet.

Check out these winning entries for the May project!  This video is guaranteed to make you smile.  One of the winners for June will receive the DERMagic Groom & Go Travel Kit!   We are proud to be one of many sponsors for this outstanding campaign.  Please pay a visit to The Pet Postcard Project and send in your postcards today!

The One We Loved: DERMagic Certified Organic Shampoo Bars for dirty dogs. The one-handed cleaning action of these moisturizing bars made washing our squirmy pups a breeze. Plus, the relaxing scents of the essential oils mellowed out our usually bath-anxious furry guys.

Hey, Ideal Bite... YOU guys are the ones WE Love. Thank you for this amazing review!

How to shop for dog shampoo bars!

Want to convince your dog that a bath is something he will actually enjoy? Here’s how!

Take your dog shopping. First, check our growing list of retailers for a location near you, and take Rover over there! Not only will the adventure will be a treat for him, you can get him to select his personal favorite scent of shampoo bar!

DERMagic Certified Organic Shampoo Bars for Dogs come in three incredible herbal aromatherapy scents: Peppermint/Tea Tree Oil (like our shampoo and conditioner), Rosemary/Lavender, and Lemon/Eucalyptus.

All three combinations are very beneficial for dogs and their coat and skin, but the fun part is that dogs actually have a preference for aromatherapy scents and they will tell you which is their favorite. Just hold each bar near your dog’s face to let him get a sniff, and then repeat (still in the box… a dog’s nose is vastly more sensitive than ours and he won’t need any help!).

Let him think about it for a moment, and then present all three at once. Your dog will clearly show you which scent he likes the best, either by trying to eat the box or by licking it.

Bath time may still not be a walk in the park, but having your dog choose his own aromatherapy scent usually means that he will be much more relaxed in the bath. 

Enjoy! Send us your bath time photos! The sillier and messier and more fun the better! We’ll publish as many as we can right here.

Best wishes, always…

New! Certified Organic Shampoo Bars for Dogs!

What could be more fun than washing your dog with DERMagic Peppermint and Tea Tree Oil Shampoo? We have the answer! And it’s brand new: Certified Organic DERMagic Peppermint and Tea Tree Oil Shampoo Bars! Also available in Lemon/Eucalyptus and Rosemary/Lavender, all three are scented with organic essential oils and contain no sulfates.

Our customers have been asking us for these for a long time, but it has taken us time and effort to find a manufacturer whose quality ingredients and high manufacturing standards met our strict requirements. Our very popular SLS-free shampoo and conditioner are still available at your favorite local pet supply shop or groomer (check our website for a location near you), or online at www.DERMagic.com.

Here are just a few of the advantages of our shampoo bars compared to liquids:

· A shampoo bar is small but oh-so-powerful. We find that they last longer than a 16-oz bottle of shampoo!

· When you have a wriggly pup in the sink, you need at least three hands to deal with the dog and the shampoo bottle and the hand that’s doing the washing. With a bar, one hand does double duty!

· Shampoo bars are lightweight, compared to liquids, and cost much less to ship.

· Our shampoo bars are Certified Organic!

· Bars are portable… and perfect for travel. No spills!

· We can ship shampoo bars anywhere in the world without feeling guilty about the environment. Compared to shipping shampoo, which is mostly water, the carbon footprint is reduced at least 75%!

· Our bars are packaged in natural cardboard boxes, which are post-consumer recycled and recyclable, with the added benefit of allowing the shampoo bar to breathe (which makes your home smell like heaven).

• And, my favorite, for every 10 shampoo bars sold, a tree is planted!  Totally green...

· We’re sure there are more benefits! Send us your thoughts and we’ll post them here!

Best wishes,

Dr Adelia
