Much has been made of recent trends to pamper pets in human like ways, but pet spas such as Sunday Colors believe that such pampering is neither novel nor part of a passing fad. Humans have always had affection for animals and pampering them with spa care and couture items is but one means of expressing such affection.

If our own pampering has taken on more sophistication with better products and wider availability of spa treatments, it makes perfect sense that we have also expanded the ways in which we express our love of our pets. Admittedly, Fifi may not know the difference between her Shea Butter Skin Repair and a vat of Vaseline, (though her skin most definitely will), but she will immediately sense the warmth with which her owner tends to her coat with such lavish attention. Somehow another dog bone in the kennel doesn’t quite cut it anymore.

Today’s pet pampering runs the gamut from handmade baby style front pet pouch dog carriers, to extravagant treatments for dry & itchy skin or gaseous emissions such as Dog Smog Remedy. The ingredients in many pet spa treatments are so sumptuous you’d think you can put them on your salad.

In fact, many of today’s pet spa treatments are made with human grade ingredients and mirror items you might find in upscale department store beauty counters: Avocado, Fennel Extract, Dill Extract, peppermint, comfrey, aloe, jojoba and shea butter.

One spa product particularly popular in the pet spa line up is made from all natural mica, the stuff that makes your beauty cosmetics sparkle. Adding natural mica to Happy Tails Sparkle & Shine Brightening Shampoo for dogs adds a subtle hint of glitter to your pet’s coat.

Not only does this lovely product contain silk proteins that moisturize your pet’s coat and restructure the hair, but the overall effect of those proteins and the mica is to perk up a drab dog coat, a natural consequence of aging, and help your pet look and smell lovely as these wonderful ingredients work to repel dust and dirt. As any groomer will attest, keeping your pet’s skin and coat healthy with proper grooming and the right products promotes better health and could translate into added dog years.

Certainly, pets have also gained longevity with the improved nutrition also available at pet spas such as Sunday Colors. The treats for sale at Sunday Colors are selected with consideration to allergic and digestive conditions in pets. And of course, they have to taste good too!

There are organic wheat free and corn free cookies, Power Patties for all natural and raw diets, Salt free, Sugar free and Preservative free Peanut Butter Dog Treats, Real Meat Lamb Liver and Chicken dog treats, Bonito Flakes for cats, vegan baked Buddy Biscuits and very fishy gourmet salmon cat treats with good stuff such as salmon fused with broccoli, cauliflower, blueberries, apples, cranberries, alfalfa sprouts and parsley all packaged in a vintage inspired 6 oz. airtight can.

Stress, agitation, discomfort are all the reasons humans seek spa treatment to soothe, calm and relax. At Sunday Colors, one of the rare people and pet spas, you can find your own pampered products among your pets for one stop shopping for a healthy lifestyle.
