On-the-Go Made Convenient

I love this pet seat cover!  I take my dog everywhere and he spends a lot of time in the car with me.  Before I had this waterproof hammock seat cover, my dog was constantly trying to jump from the front seat to the back seat, knocking over my drink in the process and causing general havoc and distraction.  This cover acts like a hammock, keeping him comfortably contained in the back seat.  Because it acts like a hammock, covering the floor trough, he has more room to lounge around in absolute luxury without hopping back and forth all the time.  Also, for my sanity, the cover is completely waterproof and washable so any messes that he makes–drooling, hair, and even the occasional potty mess–washes off easily and completely without smelling up my car.  We are both happier travelers with this ingenious invention!

Healthy Doggie Treats

I love when my dog comes over and sits next to me,  I do not love when the panting begins and I’m inundated in seconds with yucky dog breath!  In an effort to save my nose and yours, I have found the best dog treats that will clean your dog’s teeth and gums, virtually eliminating dog breath.

These bully sticks are better than regular rawhide chews because they have low fat content and are rich in protein and free of chemicals and hormones.  They are also easy on your dog’s stomach and 100% digestible.  The best part is that they promote good dental health by cleaning your dog’s teeth and gums creating pleasant breath for you.  It’s a win win!

 

 

Snuggly Cats are Happy Cats

I like to call this cat cuddler the snuggy for cats.  If you’ve spent any time with cats, you know that they love to burrow in everything…your freshly cleaned and dried clothes for example.  Let me introduce you to the wonder that is the Burrow Bed.  This little gem will save your clean laundry, sheets and throw blankets from cat hair.  Not only is this bed warm and cozy for your cat, it’s also convenient for you–you can simply throw it in the wash when it gets dirty and even dry it in the dryer.  We all know that cats have opinions, but take it from me, even the pickiest cat will love snuggling down in the Burrow Bed!

 

Your Goldfish Will Thank You

Just last week, a friend posted a picture of her 6 year old son on Instagram with teary eyes flushing his goldfish down the toilet.  It was a proper “burial at sea”complete with a dramatic removal of his Navy hat.

We all know that inevitably, goldfish do not stay long in the world.  However, if you are a parent with a child who just fell in love with the fish he won at the fair, here is a great aquarium filter to prolong the life of the fish.  I love the fish bowl filter kit because it is an inexpensive way to turn a simple fish bowl aquarium into a self-filtering aquarium.  Fish bowls get dirty quickly creating an unhealthy environment for the fish.  Save yourself some time and energy, and your child some tears, with one of these handy fish bowl filters!

Time for a New Bed

If you have a pet, like my dog,  who enjoys using every soft surface in your home as a bed  and now your couch resembles something out of The Muppets …this post is for you.

We are all searching for the perfect pet bed to lure our pets–and let’s be honest, their fur–off of our furniture, and out of our beds.  My favorite  option is the Cuddle Cube because it provides the perfect combination of style, comfort, and affordability.  I love that it has a non-slip bottom so that my dog can’t surruptitiously slide it out into the middle of my kitchen floor.  I also love that it has a removable cover that I can wash and that the filling is made of recycled plastic bottles.  My dog loves that he can squish down into the 12 inches of fluffiness unrivaled by any of my couches or my bed. Also did I mention it’s affordable?  It’s a win for everyone!

 

 

 

The question with pet treats and toys

jartopha plantAs many of us know, a  source of glycerin in many imported dog treats, has lead to a suspicion that it is not healthy for our pets.  This source of glycerin comes from a plant called Jatropha (pictured left). The FDA has also released warnings regarding the potential danger for humans and animals alike. The challenge is that the testing for these chemicals has not caught up with the technology of beating them.  Recent studies have shown that most imported dog treats are made with some form of this product.

What should you do? Do not risk the health of your best friend to save a dollar.  Search for American made pet supplies, this will give you peace of mind and also support an American business!
