Perhaps the real beauty of lavender lies in its adaptability and inherent calming properties that help soothe the soul. Not just people, but for pets, too! And that’s where the Sequim Lavender Company has proved itself most innovative. Featuring a pet bandana laced with lavender, it comes in a variety of fashionable patterns, from extra-small to extra-large. Everything is natural as nature intended, with no alcohol or pesticides used; it is dye-free and chemical free.
“This is aromatherapy for pets,” according to Mary Lou Jendrucko, co-owner, designer, and crafter of the pet scarf craze “à la lavender.” She explains how lavender is both calming and a natural flea repellant. “And it’s amazing to see how dogs calm down and seem to have a smile when they wear it.” She quickly adds how many satisfied dog owners seek her out to tell her that the lavender bandanas really work.
The doggie bandanas work so well that Jendrucko says they will be tried on Alaskan sled dogs for the first time this year. This will help these high-energy dogs calm down when they need to chill out. “Cats love them, too,” says Jendrucko, adding that the smaller sizes work well for them. An avid animal lover who owns rescue animals exclusively, she is so concerned about safety for pets that a Velcro strip is sewn into the scarf. This way, if the scarf should get entangled in something such as a fence, the pet can break free.
At last year’s Lavender Festival, the Sequim Lavender Company quickly sold out of their X-Large inventory. According to Jundrucko, her two-pattern dog bandana makes for a really great fashion statement. Asked about some other popular patterns, she replies, “At the lavender festival, it is always my custom to have lavender print material.” Jundrucko adds, “I make some very comical, some country… I seem to make something for everyone.” She adds that at Christmas they had people down from Alaska, so the “caribou” patterns were very popular with them.
