I have to admit, that whoever or whatever advertising company came up with this ad, are worthy to share the same elevator as Mad Men’s Don Draper.
You see, unfortunately, the power of advertising is extremely strong, and poor unsuspecting souls (like myself) often get sucked in.
It’s not too bad if after seeing an advert for the latest Magnum ice cream bar, and with temperatures in the mid 20’s, you suddenly get the urge to indulge in a creamy chocolate ice cream enrobed in a luscious chocolatey coating, rich chocolatey sauce and thick Belgian milk chocolate, to take your mind off more mundane things.
But when it comes to things for our dogs or pets, we should think twice before we drop whatever it is that we are doing, and head straight to the online veterinary web site, or to our local vets office.
Have you ever wondered, why most of these spot on treatments for dogs and cats in their instructions advise us not to come in contact with the contents, and if we do to wash it off straight away.
Why is it so important that your dog or cat doesn’t get to lick the contents, so that it is necessary to apply on the back of the neck or other non accessible areas ?
Is the potent smell of these spot on treatments for our dogs, not enough to make you wonder, what the hell is this stuff made of, and should I really be inflicting my beloved dog or cat with this toxic mixture ?
Don’t worry though, there is an alternative, and as is the case for most things, for every man made synthetic, potentially harmful substance we can buy for ourselves or our canine friends, there is a NATURAL ALTERNATIVE that in my opinion should always be tried first.
Anyhow, that’s it for today, the sun has got his hat on, and I’m off out to get me an ice cream bar, and wash it down with an ice cold Pepsi, that I picked up in the supermarket where I bought me some styling gel, and some deodorant, that once administered will have me knocking the female of the species away with a big stick.
