<p>Leather or cloth seats, the age old argument since the creation of the automobile. Both have their pros and cons. Leather gets way too hot in the summertime, is a pain to maintain, and is obviously a bit <a href="https://www.autobytel.com/car-ownership/advice/comparison-leather-car-interior-vs-cloth-car-interior-105718/">pricey</a>. On the other hand, cloth seats stain more easily, and they can begin to smell if they aren’t properly maintained. Whichever choice you make, we aren’t here to tell you whether you’re right or wrong. We’re here to give you detailing tips to clean any type of the seats in your car.&nbsp;<br></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/shutterstock_393987769-scaled.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1244"/></figure>



<h4>Leather Seats</h4>



<p>Leather seats are super easy, you can even use <a href="https://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/maintenance-and-repair/cleaning/how-to-clean-leather-car-seats">standard household cleaning supplies!</a> Toothpaste is great for removing your stains and scuffs. First, you need to get any hair or dirt off of your seats. Use the Lilly Brush <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lilly-Brush-Mini-Hair-Detailer/dp/B0764MC2ZH/ref=sr_1_3?crid=20BX2WBSLQ6NV&amp;keywords=mini+pet+hair+detailer&amp;qid=1561647067&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=mini+pet+hair+detailer%2Caps%2C160&amp;sr=8-3">Mini Pet Hair Detailer</a> to purge the car of all pet fur. Next, grab some non gel toothpaste and an unused toothbrush, and gently scrub wherever needed. Wipe off the excess with a damp cloth and dry with a towel. Voilá, just like that, your seats are clean! If you&#8217;re into DIY, but want to use the same tools as the pros, check out <a href="https://www.smartvacuums.co.uk/how-to-clean-car-upholstery/?msID=e962c6eb-f721-4351-841f-7d5b3265e21f">this link!</a><br></p>



<h4>Cloth Seats</h4>



<p>Cleaning cloth seats is hardly any more of a hassle. The only real difference is creating your own cleaning solution! Again, use a Lilly Brush to get rid of your lovely pet’s fur in your car. Next, mix ¼ cup of baking soda with a cup of warm water. Use a light layer of the solution and a toothbrush to scrub away the stain. If the stain is being stubborn, let it sit for a few minutes and then wash it off with a towel.&nbsp;<br></p>

<p>We love our detailers, but you won’t always have the time to get your car cleaned professionally. We hope these quick tips help you get your car clean from the comfort of your own home. </p>

<p>All dogs are cute, but there’s something extra cute about a really well trained pup. A pet who enjoys a close relationship with their best friend usually also enjoys the challenge and fun of learning a few small jobs and tricks as well. Wouldn’t you love for your dog to high-five on command? Or clean up a messy play area? Some are even happy to bring you slippers and an ice cold beer after a long day at work! All it takes is a few things: A lovely furry companion, a patient and fun owner, space to train, and most importantly, treats, treats, and more treats!</p>



<p>It’s no secret that some dogs are smarter than others. We’ve listed a few breeds that might have an easier time learning these fun little stunts! Among the most trainable pups, we have the following breeds: Poodles, Australian Shepherds (just like our Lilly!), Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Collies, German Shepherds, and Corgis. Of course, all dogs are capable of learning tricks and being trained, these breeds just seem to pick it up a little bit quicker! Below is a list of five common tricks to teach your dog. Check out the “How-To” videos for whichever skill you&#8217;d like to learn together.</p>

<p>Dear Fellow Pets,<br></p>



<p>Mother’s Day is just around the corner! We are <strong><em>obviously</em></strong> adorable and loving, but have all put our mothers through a lot. Thinking back to when I was a puppy, I was nothing short of a terror. I might have pooped in the dining room a couple of times, I’ve sat on the TV remote, I’ve destroyed cushions&#8230;lots of them&#8230;the list goes on and on! If you ask me, we owe our moms a little something for loving us through it all. My brothers, Ozzie, Buck, and I have been brainstorming all week to come up with some great gift ideas for all the dog and cat moms out there. We know we can’t be the only group of unruly pets around town. Show your mom the love she deserves this Mother’s Day and get her something to make her daily life a little bit easier!<br></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/amazon-dark-logo-black-and-white-1024x854.png" alt="" class="wp-image-910"/></figure>



<p>Sometime around Christmas last year, I got a call from my mother. “Have you seen this new fur remover on TV. A friend of mine has it and says it’s wonderful. I think they’ve stolen your idea.” As a mom, I can tell you exactly where the panic button is on each one of my kids. My mom had just located mine and romped on it. A copycat product? On TV? Crap! Okay, I have lawyers and a legal fund set up for this. “Mom, what’s the name of this brush you’ve seen?” “Oh, well…I can ask my friend, but I think it’s something with Merlin in it…and fur?” Huh, seriously? Like what, Furlin Merlin?” “Yes, that’s it!”</p>



<p>As it turns out, my mom was talking about a lint brush
called the Fur Wizard. You’ve seen a thousand like them before, and fifty
thousand since. You swipe the brush one way, and it picks up a bit of lint or
fur, then you wipe it off in its container. Inadvertently changing directions while
you swipe results in the collected lint offloading back onto your clothes. As it’s
really nothing like any of my products, I was not overly concerned. </p>



<p>Then, a few months later, on the Lilly Brush Amazon page,
under the heading, “Customers who viewed this item also viewed:” my eye stopped
dead on a spin-off Furlin Merlin Alibaba product&nbsp; with the name “Lilly” stamped on it. There it
was…a problem. My heart turned frosty and I called my lawyer. “This should be
easy;” he said, “just get their name and address and we’ll start with a simple cease
and desist.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/lillybrushcute-scaled.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-911"/></figure>



<p>Ahhh, damn! In my eight years of dealing with Amazon, I’ve learned that contacting sellers who infringe on trademarks or <a href="https://old.lillybrush.com/how-to-protect-your-idea-prior-to-filing-for-a-patent/">patents</a> is, in almost every case, a lot like trying to catch a cockroach in the kitchen. As soon as you snap the lights on, they scuttle to some unknown dark place where you’ll never find them. They wait there, watching beady-eyed while you bumble around looking in all the wrong places, and then get right back down to chewing on your business when you’ve gone.</p>



<p>In the case of sellers who use Fulfillment by Amazon,
ordering a product doesn’t even provide you with a warehouse return address to
send Cease and Desist letters to, and, of course, messages sent through Amazon
are steadfastly ignored, or worse, flagged as inappropriate, which rockets you
into a whole new circle of Amazon hell.</p>



<p>Even googling seller names often points you towards companies
with the same name who know nothing about their name being used on Amazon. (Note
to self: Do not unleash the hell-dogs on innocent parties again.) Thus, hidden in
every way behind Amazon’s Fulfillment By Amazon cloak, rogue MAP and IP
infringers go about their nefarious ways uninterrupted while you implore
someone, anyone, at Amazon to hear and act upon your case via the most
cumbersome reporting system I have ever endured.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/amazonjungle-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-913"/><figcaption>Photo Courtesy of <a href="http://www.adventure.com">Adventure.com</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>So, with no other option, I wrote Amazon about the “Lilly”
fur remover. It was a clear infringement. Amazon wrote back to say: “Amazon respects a manufacturer&#8217;s
right to enter into exclusive distribution agreements for its products.
However, violations of such agreements do not constitute intellectual property
rights infringement. As the enforcement of these agreements is a matter between
the manufacturer and the retailers, it would not be appropriate for Amazon to
assist in enforcement activities.” </p>



<p>Ugh! They thought
I was having a disagreement with one of my own distributors? Wrong answer,
Amazon-bot. I sent another message to clarify that this, in fact, was <strong>not </strong>a distributor disgruntlement, but a
non-Lilly Brush fur remover infringing on the “Lilly” name. This apparently worked
as the seller was then notified that their product was in violation of Amazon’s
Seller Central policy, and the listing was taken down. I was happy. The system
had worked. Then I got an email from the seller, and suddenly I began to
suspect that instead of taking out a cockroach, I had in effect stomped on a
kitten.</p>



<p>Essentially, the
email politely explained that it had never been the seller’s intention to
infringe on my trademark, and could I please write Amazon to retract my
complaint so they could continue selling through their inventory?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/amazon-snake-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-914"/><figcaption> Photo Courtesy of <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/240379698839539245/?lp=true">Jeanne Williams</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>Because the seller signed her full name, I was able to get bits and pieces of an online business profile showing a kind-looking woman in Texas. She was married, with grown children, and grand-children, and as I zoomed down out of the sky using the big eye of Google Earth, I found myself standing in the yard of a well-kept little house outside of town. I stood there looking at the garden that the seller had lovingly coaxed up from the hot Texas clay, and thought about what to do next.</p>



<p>I did not get
into this business to hurt people. I started the Lilly Brush Company nine years
ago, and there have been many times since that we have taken the long way
around to do the “right” thing when a less honorable shortcut would have cost
less time or money. There is only one thing I draw a hard line on and that is
adherence to the rules of the road regarding our intellectual property and
brand recognition. We can do the right thing and have the best reputation in
the world, but if the lines around who we are blur or break down, all that can
dissolve quickly.</p>



<p>I wrote back to
say that I could not retract the complaint. The next day I received an email explaining
that the seller wanted to apologize for any inconvenience caused by the matter,
but that she and her husband were small business owners who had only ever sold a
few books on Amazon. Having a product like this lint brush was for them a
fairly new endeavor. They hadn’t meant to infringe, but had chosen to use their
surname Lilly out of family pride. Now, upon reflection they could see how it
might cause some confusion between our brands, thus they would remove the Lilly
name from the listing. </p>



<p>At this point, I
understood that even if I were to issue a retraction to Amazon, Seller Central
would not accept their product with the name Lilly still stamped on each item,
and actually, I couldn’t either. It also troubled me to see that their email
was signed with “Lilly USA”.</p>



<p>I answered that
evening.</p>



<p>Dear Mrs. XXXXXX </p>



<p><br>
Thank you for your email. &nbsp;</p>



<p>I understand your
predicament, but I am still concerned that you have not fully considered US
patent and trademark laws as you have signed your email with Lilly USA. I hope
you understand that by continuing to use the name Lilly for a lint and fur
removal product or company it is a very clear infringement on my company’s
trademark. I do not take this lightly as I have worked very hard for many years
to build a company and reputation upon that trademark.&nbsp;</p>



<p>To fully
understand this, please take a moment to read this explanation of these
principles: &nbsp;<a href="https://www.trademarknow.com/blog/7-factors-for-identifying-trademark-likelihood-of-confusion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.trademarknow.com/blog/7-factors-for-identifying-trademark-likelihood-of-confusion</a></p>



<p>All this said,
your problem reminds me of many I have weathered as the owner of a small
business, so I have searched my mind for viable solutions that I might be able
to recommend to you. I know you must have inventory that needs to be sold.</p>



<p>One possible
solution is for you to quickly, but&nbsp;<em>carefully,</em>&nbsp;choose another
name for your business. Read this before proceeding:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sos.state.tx.us/corp/tradefaqs.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.sos.state.tx.us/corp/tradefaqs.shtml</a></p>



<p>Once you have
settled on a name, go to&nbsp;<a href="http://godaddy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">godaddy.com</a>&nbsp;and check for the appropriate&nbsp;<a href="http://dot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dot.com</a>&nbsp;name. Get
it, if you can. Find out<em>&nbsp;why you can’t</em>&nbsp;if you can’t.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Once you have a
name, create a simple circular logo and have it made into the appropriate sized
stickers (I recommend these guys for price and quality)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.stickergiant.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.stickergiant.com/</a>&nbsp;
(Make sure to ask them to send a few samples first so you know if they
will&nbsp;<em>stay on</em>) Slap those over the Lilly printed on your products
each time you fulfill an order for Amazon, or ebay, or wherever, and you are
back in business. It’s not easy, but it’s really the only legal way to get
through your currently branded inventory. Note: You must change your Amazon,
ebay, etc. listings to reflect your new name.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Please understand
that I cannot allow you to sell fur and lint removers under the Lilly name.
Doing so could set a legal precedent that might severely impact my company and
brand in future if larger, more predatory companies attempted the same.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Regards,</p>



<p>Elsie</p>



<p>In
response to my email, the seller wrote that they were grateful for the advice,
and also believed that this would be their best course of action. When they
stated that they would have to commission new photography for their listing and
website, I was troubled. It would cost a great deal for them to do so. I wrote
back.</p>



<p>Hello-</p>



<p>One
thought…given how expensive photographers are, I might recommend that you
consult a freelance layout artist who can use Photoshop to simply change the
name on the logo in all of your product photos. This person would also be able
to generate an image for your stickers.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If
you need the name of a someone who is very reasonably priced and quick, I would
be happy to share one of my favorites with you.&nbsp;</p>



<p>To
show you what I mean, I have attached an image of a screenshot that I modified
as described. It took 3 minutes…very inexpensive alternative to photography.</p>



<p>Best
of luck in all your pursuits. Let me know if you need the name of my freelance
layout person.</p>



<p>Kind
regards,</p>



<p><strong>Elsie
</strong></p>



<p>The seller wrote
back that she would very much appreciate the name of a reliable layout person.
From that point on, we began to work together to get her products back online. </p>



<p>It has been a year since the seller and I first exchanged emails, and I am happy to report that we remain friends to this day, writing back and forth with ideas and advice and commiserations over the difficulty of navigating the Amazon jungle. We share our best resources and favorite musicians, and songs, and stories about our families, and wish each other well on holidays. When I last checked, the seller’s rebranded product was back on Amazon. I suppose you could say we are once again in competition for the same customers, but this time our seller souls are in sync, and with new understanding in our hearts, we are sincerely rooting for each other’s  success.</p>



<p>Sincerely,</p>



<p>Founder, Elsie Hamilton</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>The pet industry is booming, and if you’re active on social media, you have almost certainly noticed an ever-increasing tide of pawsome pet products being integrated into the posts of your favorite online pals. Brands of all sizes are now having to look beyond traditional broadcast and print ads in order to reach the eyes and ears of their outlying target customers. An ever-increasing trend of pay-to-view services like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu has changed the landscape of the marketplace as customers prefer to binge-watch favorite shows without the constant drumbeat of commercial interruptions. Should you ask anyone under 30 if they have seen the new <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXO1PK9LO2E">Cardi B Pepsi Commercial</a>, you will find that, unless they live for live sports, there is a good chance they have not. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_0507-473x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-875" width="321" height="694"/></figure></div>



<h3>Who can you trust? </h3>



<p>If you suspect that the sudden attention from huge
multinational brands could have turned into a prosperous business for almost
any pet-centric Instagram or Facebook account boasting a large following, you are
right&#8230;but only sort of. &nbsp;True, product
placement with an adorable pet can sometimes cost a brand upwards of $2000 per product-loving
post, depending on follower counts (<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/stephanrabimov/2018/07/28/instagram-zoo-the-rise-and-rise-of-pet-influencers/#118cb6e81921">Forbes.com</a>).
That said, in many instances, manufacturers are only asked to send free
products. No money is exchanged. For this simple reason, the way into the
consciousness of target consumers has become a much more level playing field
as, with these influencers, large companies with the financial capacity to make
huge TV time ad purchases are no more powerful than small companies when it
comes to an honest product review.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_0508-473x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-876" width="276" height="598"/></figure></div>



<h3>How has this changed things?</h3>



<p>The power of Pet Influencers has produced a very refreshing and honest result for consumers and small brands alike. If a product performs as it should, or better, outperforms the Influencer’s expectations, the resulting endorsement is pure gold. A prime example is our <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lilly-Brush-Mini-Hair-Detailer/dp/B0764MC2ZH/ref=asc_df_B0764MC2ZH/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=198060275213&amp;hvpos=1o1&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=5527904984284049685&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9028794&amp;hvtargid=pla-377836113999&amp;psc=1">Mini Pet Hair Detailer </a>which entered the marketplace with no ad budget. Positioned as a tiny David against products from Goliath-like multinational competitors, the Lilly Brush MPHD has managed to gain remarkable traction thanks to Pet and Car Detailer Influencers who were blown away when they were able to use the $10 tool to remove previously impossibly embedded pet hair from car carpets and home fabrics.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_0506-473x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-874" width="307" height="664"/></figure></div>



<h3>&nbsp;How will this impact
the future?</h3>



<p>We have all seen how forums such as Twitter, Facebook, and Yelp and Amazon’s 5-star rating system have forced manufacturers and service providers into accountability through individual conversations with their consumers. The Influencer community is a powerful extension of this trend. Yes, dollars do sometimes change hands, but should you find yourself wondering whose peppering of product endorsements you can trust as unbiased, or who is formally representing a brand, you can almost always get a straight answer if you ask. Just remember, these very popular people and pets became well-loved because they took care of their followers so misrepresenting something for pay would be more damaging to them than it would be to you!</p>



<p>Sincerely,</p>

<h4><strong>Have an idea for a
new product? Here are two things you need to do to protect it.</strong></h4>



<p>First things first, if this is going to be the best-selling
product you think it might be, you’ll want to begin protecting your idea right
from the start. Imagine going through the excitement and excruciatingly hard
work of creating a product only to have another entity steal your idea and take
it to market first! Yes, of course, you can seek a patent for protection, but often
you will first need time to explore a lot of important decisions before you
write that first retainer check to a patent attorney. Settling on which
materials you’ll use and which features you should focus on will likely involve
consulting experts, surveying friends and perhaps chatting with consumer groups.
Not to worry, there are a few things you can do to protect your initial idea during
this early stage of development. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Looselips.png" alt="" class="wp-image-844"/></figure></div>



<h4>Let’s start with a good old NDA. </h4>



<p>Back when I started work on my first Lilly Brush product, I asked a dear friend, one of the smartest business women I know, for her thoughts. “Hold on,” she said, looking away from the product I held before her. “Do you have a <strong>Non-Disclosure Agreement</strong> for me to sign?”  I was stunned as I consider her a 100% trustworthy pal, but she also happens to work as a lawyer for one of the “Sharks” on ABC’s top-rated series <em>Shark Tank</em>, and as she explained, an NDA is a simple way of protecting us both should someone else in her orbit come up with a similar product before my patent is filed. </p>



<p>Hopefully, this helps you to think of your NDA as a courtesy rather than a trust issue, so you won’t ever be shy about asking those you seek counsel from to sign it. Believe me, knowing you have it on file will help you and your patent attorney sleep at night! Click here for a very simple NDA from <a href="https://www.rocketlawyer.com/sem/non-disclosure-agreement.rl?id=95&amp;partnerid=103&amp;cid=948093597&amp;adgid=45767661343&amp;loc_int=&amp;loc_phys=9028794&amp;mt=b&amp;ntwk=g&amp;dv=c&amp;adid=282302763991&amp;kw=%2Brocket%20%2Blawyer%20%2Bnda&amp;adpos=1t1&amp;plc=&amp;trgt=&amp;trgtid=aud-602982874752:kwd-318930836789&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAn4PkBRCDARIsAGHmH3dmJdsG2oRn9OYjclhDKJH9zfiJNZZObqQO3xnWAR3c4ZVsJ96mmcQaAgNTEALw_wcB#/">Rocket Lawyer</a>. </p>



<h4>Your very, very important new friend, the Inventor’s Notebook. </h4>



<p>This is critical. I’ll explain why in a minute, but if you have not been keeping a carefully formatted inventor’s notebook from the moment you started to develop your product idea, stop everything (seriously) and get yourself one <a href="http://www.bookfactory.com/inventors-notebooks/inventors-notebook.php?gclid=Cj0KCQiAn4PkBRCDARIsAGHmH3eO-0pmg_1rZrx65TlVSUMSr3vof86nryR8LhZqKOHXaqQdI8wOlcgaAjw7EALw_wcB">here</a>. </p>



<p>I like these particular notebooks because they supply everything
you need to keep a proper log of your inventing activities, and yes indeed,
there is a right way, and a wrong way, to do it!</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/leonardo.png" alt="" class="wp-image-845"/></figure></div>



<h4>Why (and how) to keep an Inventor’s Notebook.</h4>



<p>The United States recognizes new ideas on a <strong>first-to-invent</strong> basis rather than the <strong>first-to-file</strong> basis utilized by most other countries. All this means is that, in the event that two very similar inventions are filed at or near the same time, the USPTO will have to decide who has priority, or proof of novelty, based on who can convince them that they conceived of the idea first. A properly kept Inventor’s Notebook acts as a time stamp for a period up to, but not exceeding, one year before date of filing. For thorough instructions on how to keep your own Inventor’s Notebook, please take a moment to read this fantastic article written by the folks at Maday Patent Law, PLLC. </p>

<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/pet-food.jpg" alt="This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is pet-food.jpg"/><figcaption>Photo Courtesy of <a href="https://www.petpact.com/dog/is-dehydrated-dog-food-better-than-dry-or-wet-foods-purepetfood-review/">PetPact.com</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>Imagine this, you’re baking your famous oatmeal raisin cookies for friends and family to enjoy. A few raisins fall to the ground, but before you can grab them, your pet eats five of them. The next thought running through your mind is, “What do I do? Would five raisins really <a href="https://topdogvitamins.com/toxic-foods-and-items-pets-shouldnt-eat/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="poison (opens in a new tab)">poison</a> my pet?”</p>



<p>Most of us, I’m sure, have dealt with this at some point in our years of pet ownership. If not, we are here to help make sure your pet is safely taken care of in those situations! </p>



<p>First and foremost, below is an infographic that <a href="https://phz8.petinsurance.com/pet-health/pet-toxins/toxic-and-hazardous-food-guide-for-pets">Nationwide</a> has created to give us an idea of what food items are toxic/hazardous to our pets. Anything with an “!” is urgent and needs veterinary care immediately.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Toxic-Food-Guide-for-Pets-Infographic_FNL_2550-scaled.jpg" alt="This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Toxic-Food-Guide-for-Pets-Infographic_FNL_2550-622x1024.jpg"/></figure>



<h4 style="text-align:center"><strong>Don’t wait to get help! Waiting until your pet shows symptoms could be too late! </strong></h4>



<ul><li>Some symptoms may not appear for a few hours or days (loss of appetite being one of them). If they do not appear immediately, don’t hesitate to get them checked if something about your pet’s behavior doesn’t look or feel right. </li></ul>



<h4 style="text-align:center"><strong>Call Your Vet Immediately</strong></h4>



<p>As calling 911 is only good for human emergencies, calling your local vet is the best route to take. They will be able to provide guidance on how to go about dealing with the issue. Don’t induce vomiting before discussing with your vet as some items eaten can create larger issues by bringing them back up (<a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/pets/a20707485/what-to-do-if-pet-eats-something-toxic-poisonous/)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">GoodHouseKeeping.com</a>).</p>



<p>If your pet has eaten other objects besides food, it is still best to call a vet clinic. Though they may not seem harmful, many items that are eaten can severely damage intestines or create blockages. </p>



<h4 style="text-align:center"><strong>What do I do if it is late and the vet isn’t open?</strong></h4>



<p>If it is after hours, call the nearest 24-hour vet clinic or ASPCA’s 24-hour hotline at <a href="http://1-888-426-4435/">1-888-426-4435</a>.</p>



<h4 style="text-align:center"><strong>What to have with you in case of an emergency</strong></h4>



<ul><li>In case the veterinary hospital recommends inducing vomiting, be sure to keep an unopened and unexpired bottle of hydrogen peroxide. A larger type injection syringe (without a needle) is helpful for administering hydrogen peroxide.</li><li>Make sure you have all pet medical records / information on hand in the event that you may need to see a new vet clinic. </li></ul>



<h4 style="text-align:center"><strong>Ways to Prevent Ingestion Emergencies</strong></h4>



<ul><li>Do not leave garbage in reach of your pet. Ensure that there is a lid on the garbage at all times. (<a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="http://www.thesprucepets.com" target="_blank">TheSprucePets.com</a>)</li><li>Try not to drop food while cooking. Do not leave cooking area with potentially hazardous items on the counter or in sight. </li><li>&nbsp;Ensure any lawn items or fertilizers are not hazardous. When outside with fertilizers, use a leash to bring them to areas that do not contain a potentially threatening fertilizer.</li></ul>



<h4 style="text-align:center"><strong>It&#8217;s not just food!</strong></h4>



<p>There are plenty of &#8220;human foods&#8221; that are dangerous to cats and dogs, but that isn&#8217;t where the worry stops. Dozens of items used by humans every single day can cause serious harm to your pets. Luckily for you and I, <a href="https://topdogvitamins.com/toxic-foods-and-items-pets-shouldnt-eat/">Top Dog Vitamins</a> has broken down for us what seemingly routine items can cause your pet serious harm, and they even explain <a href="https://topdogvitamins.com/toxic-foods-and-items-pets-shouldnt-eat/">why!</a> </p>



<p>In these situations, it is always better to be safe than sorry. DO consult a pet professional if there is any doubt in your mind about your pet&#8217;s safety.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>2009 was not a banner year for my
family. Among other things, I had had a heart attack, a freak thing at 48, a
massive MI in the form of a spontaneous coronary artery dissection. It hit like
a searingly painful bolt from the blue during the dessert course at my mother’s
dinner table. One minute I was enjoying a brownie, and the next I was reeling
backwards, clutching my chest and swearing like a sailor. My two young sons looked
on in horror. I was a single mom with a lot to live for. </p>



<h4>The change I never saw coming.</h4>



<p>During the months of rehab that followed, I couldn’t bring
myself to go back to work. I had been a painter by profession, proficient
enough to have always sold well. My beautiful studio waited just 20 feet from
where I spent my afternoons, but I had noticed that a lifelong tremor in my
hands had suddenly increased tenfold. Controlling a paintbrush for the perfect
glint in a portrait’s eye or the delicious details of a still life had become nothing
short of impossible. At times, my hands flew around like nervous parakeets. I
had no idea what to do, but surviving the heart attack had made me optimistic.
I’d figure it out.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/elsieflower-1024x782.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-779"/></figure></div>



<h4>Salvation came in the form of a shelter dog.</h4>



<p>One morning, to finally oblige my son, who had for months begged
for a dog, we went to the local shelter to look. To say that he chose the
sickest, saddest looking dog the shelter had to offer is almost an
understatement. Her name was Lilly. While the other pups gamboled and scampered
around behind the glass, this heartbroken Miniature Australian Shepherd sat quietly
with her head down and her back to us. She had been dumped in the afterhours
kennels sometime during the night. I tapped the glass. Her head turned just
enough for me to see an unexpectedly white-speckled eye. Was she blind? Poor
thing. I so wanted to ignore the puddle slowly spreading beneath her, and her matted,
dull coat, but I couldn’t. I’m ashamed to say I attempted to veto my son’s choice.
He had recently lost a dog to cancer. I pointed out the other happy, healthy dogs.
I argued that we had enough challenges at home. No dice. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/lilly-from-adoption.png" alt="" class="wp-image-777"/></figure></div>



<p>So we waited, seated on the floor of the meeting room, while the attendant brought Lilly in. Unhooked from the leash, with everyone calling to her at once, Lilly looked only at my son. Of the 5 people waiting to meet her, she walked straight to the one who had just suffered through 2 miserable years of epilepsy from a football concussion. She stopped for a beat to sniff the air in front of him, and then lay down with her eyes on his. A moment later her sweet head dropped gently onto his ankle and she closed her eyes. It was an incredibly magical moment. This dog somehow knew exactly where she was needed. &nbsp;</p>



<h4>Nurse Lilly</h4>



<p>As it turns out, it was that watchful, motherly aspect of
Lilly that would launch my business. Each day, while my son was at school, she
transferred her nurse duties over to me. I’d arrive home from cardiac rehab,
and Lilly would climb onto the couch next to me. I’d nap. She’d watch. I’d wake
to find her nose next to mine. It was a little unnerving…had I stopped
breathing? She would not leave my side. </p>



<h4>So much love&#8230;and <em>fur</em>!</h4>



<p>Lilly had never been inside a house before, and her heavy
coat immediately began to shed everywhere. I blew through sticky roller refills
nearly every two days. Finally, in exasperation, I went to PetSmart for
something better. They recommended sticky rollers. There was nothing to do
about it. I’d had enough of the sticky roller racket. Everywhere I went, Lilly
fur went with me. I started to notice other people wearing their pets as well.
Polar fleece, the uniform of Colorado, is the best pet hair magnet you can
wear. I could not stop seeing it. Why had no one solved this problem?</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/og-brush.png" alt="" class="wp-image-776"/></figure></div>



<p>Then one afternoon, on my way to the sink to scrub around it
with an old toothbrush, I noticed Lilly’s muddy pawprints on the couch and
stopped to brush them off. When I looked back at the brush, I saw a little bit
of fur trapped there. I brushed my polar fleece. More fur. I raced upstairs and
stole everyone’s toothbrushes and cobbled together the first Lilly Brush in the
garage that afternoon. By the time my sons came home from school I had nearly cleaned
the whole house with it. It wasn’t perfect by any means. The brushes wore down
quickly, and the hair tangled the bristles, but it was the start of an idea. It
was something.</p>

<p>Ughhh, there’s nothing worse than a hairy car! In fact, vacuum-resistant embedded pet hair is the #1 headache auto detailers and pet owners alike face when cleaning their cars! </p>



<p>Until now, pumice stones and rubber brushes have been the
two most popular tools for dealing with pet hair removal. So, what’s the issue?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://old.lillybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/pumice-stone-2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-762"/><figcaption>Photo Courtesy of  <a href="https://www.detailedimage.com/">detailedimage.com</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>Our detailers tell us that the rubber brushes miss much of the most deeply embedded hair and take too much time to use. And, as any professional detailer knows, time is money, and customers tend to balk at pet hair surcharges tacked on even though removing it means an extra hour (or more!) of the detailer’s time.</p>



<p>Detailers report that although a pumice stone does a fairly good job of removing embedded pet hair, it is by no means the perfect tool for the job as it can easily rip up carpeting and damage surrounding plastic, chrome and leather surfaces within the car. </p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>We all know someone, whether it’s a family member, co-worker, or a friend who has become fur blind to the mounds of pet hair in their car. However, if you have ever tried to clean your car after taking your furry friend for a ride, you realize very quickly that it is not an easy process. In fact, it can be downright impossible. The vacuum never seems to work as well as expected, lint rollers can’t pick up what your pet puts down, and those rocks (pumice stones) that have been an old habit in the detailing industry can horribly damage many of the surfaces in your car. </p>
