Our booth at the Portland Pet Expo last weekend. Pootie Pads are made in Portland, OR
The holiday shopping season is officially underway. Sometimes, folks are hard to shop for. Some will go so far as to say they don't want "things" (my late mother was like that). But if that hard-to-shop for person is a pet owner, we have a thought for you! Aromatic, herb-filled quilts for pets that they can lie on, roll around on, and be comforted. We call them Pootie Pads and they make great gifts, all year round. They are made from pre-washed cotton that contains no pesticides or toxins, organic herbs, and love.
For cats, we have human-grade, organic catnip. This catnip helps shy cats become approachable, aggressive cats to chill out, and geriatric or ill cats to become more comfortable. Wash in cold water, lay flat to dry, and the pad will last your cat more than a year. There are several sizes -- and we are continuing the sale on the petite size for the time being.
Pootie Pads come in three sizes. Fabric choices for original and petitie sizes are here - or let us choose for you.
Original: 23" x 17" $35 plus $5.60 shipping
ON SALE (let us choose for you!) Petite: 13.5" x 9.5" ONE for $15 plus $5.60 shipping (regularly $18) OR TWO for $30 (regularly $35) plus $5.60 shipping
Play Size: 8" x 4.5 Four for $35 plus $5.60 shipping

Now, for dogs we have Pootie Pads for Pooches, filled with soothing lavender and thyme. These herbs have a cumulative calming effect. If you know someone who has a dog from an excitable breed or one that suffers from separation anxiety, this is something you might give them to try.
Here is a note from Eleanor, the dog of our Arliss Bunny:
Dear Sara and Ann -
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for my wonderful quilt. I sleep with my nose on it every night. It is very soothing. Tonight when I got up on the bed I rubbed my whole face on it.
Again, thank you.
Licks -
Eleanor

Medium 23" x 17" $40 plus $5.60 shipping
Large 22" x 35" $75 plus $12.35 shipping
This diary is about herb filled quilts for pets. We also make pads and lap throws for people filled with lavender. If that is of interest, please send me a message!
