Love your pet? Love to shop from home? Then be sure to visit BuschPetProducts.com for your four legged friends. This Missouri based online store is my Pet Pick for February. Stacy Busch-Heisserer, owner of BuschPetProducts.com, started the online pet store to combine her love of animals with her love of shopping. She also wanted to share her passion of providing quality, affordable items that are healthy and fun for your pets. Stacy makes a point to provide as many American made products as possible and donates a portion of the profits to a local no-kill animal shelter and dog sanctuary. Many of the products available are from companies who also donate a portion of their sales to help homeless animals. All the more reason to shop from the comfort of home and make a difference in the process! BuschPetProducts.com works to support local businesses and provide eco-friendly products. Stacy said, “I don’t believe that the “green” movement is just a fad. I think it is here to stay and I think for it to work, consumers have to go green in all aspects of their lives and that includes their pets. We have to make a conscious effort to make our lives and the lives of our pets the best they can be.” This is easy to do here and I love the selection of unique items that you won’t find in a big box store. This month’s featured product is “Muttens.” They are the ideal gloves for walking your dog. Muttens provide the warmth of mittens with the flexibility of gloves. BuschPetProducts.com also has a large selection of organic pet foods and treats, organic supplements, and organic grooming products. If you are looking for the perfect gift for a pet lover, check out the exclusive assortment of gift baskets. My personal favorite is the Luck O’ the Irish dog gift basket. Most items ship for a low flat rate cost of only $6! Owner, Stacy Busch-Heisserer hopes that customers will come back again and again, not only for the quality products, but for their phenomenal customer service. Be sure to visit WWW.BUSCHPETPRODUCTS.COM or call 573-335-4076 to find eco-friendly, organic, American made, local products for your pets.
