When Oz’s environmental allergies flare up, he tends to scratch himself bald. One of those flare ups happened within the last month and Oz had two big bald spots to show for it. We tried putting shirts on him to protect him from the allergens and his scratching, but the shirts are usually too heavy and hot for South Florida. So, while he could wear the shirts in the house, we took them off to walk him outside – which kind of defeated the purpose of protecting him from environmental allergens.
Then we found Gold Paw Series Sun Shield Tees. The Sun Shield Tee is a summer-weight popover shirt. The material is truly light enough that Oz can wear it outside at any time, even when it is 90+ degrees with lots of humidity. We love that it is made of a stretchy jersey material making it easy to put on and take off without any fuss.
Originally made to protect a dog from the sun, Gold Paw Series Sun Shield Tees have a UPF50 rating that blocks 98% of the sun’s UV rays. However, we have found it the perfect solution to protect Oz’s skin from allergens and the associated scratching they cause. The Tee would also be a practical solution to wound care as well, providing protection to a wound from germs and scratching or licking.
Best of all, Oz loves his Sun Shield Tees. We believe that because it is made from stretch jersey with a snug and soft fit, that he somehow feels soothed and is thus calmer. It is possible the Tee could be used as a calming aid to anxious dogs as well.
With the holidays fast approaching, we wanted to share our love of Gold Paw Series Sun Shield Tees with you. If you or someone you know has a dog with bad allergies or a dog that is just in need of feeling “snug as a bug in a rug”, you will want to consider investing in the Sun Shield Tee.
For more information or to purchase a Sun Shield Tee, visit Gold Paw Series Sun Shield Tee page on their website. There are a multitude of sizes to choose from and six colors.

While the Boys don't wear clothing, this is something I will certainly pass on to a few of their friends who could benefit from this. Looks good on you too Oz.

When the new century rolled over, gold was three hundred dollars an oz and achieved a late pinnacle of two thousand dollars an ounce, showing its popularity and resilience for financing in a gold IRA for instance.

This looks like an amazing product! Sinead has some grass allergies that flare in the summer, when she likes to rest her little bod in the weeds during her naps. I might have to get her something like this.

Looking great!
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad you've found something to help Oz! This sounds like a great product that could solve more than one issue at a time. I like the nice colors they come in too!
