Need a great indoor dog potty for your dog or puppy? Many possible scenarios might make you look into getting a new potty for your doggie, other than the obvious one of potty training your dog. If you want to have the option of having your dog go to the bathroom inside the house, there are some really good indoor toilet options now available. If you need reviews and recommendations, here are my top 8 picks for dog potties that are better than trees...
The Ripple Rug, created by Yoda and her human parents, Fred and Natasha
Ruckel from the Catskills, NY, provides a place for almost all of a
cat's recreational needs - hiding, stalking, surprising, scratching,
grooming, and yes, even sleeping. This 3 x 4 foot double-layered rug, is
a veritable cat playpen, which aims to keep your kitty from satiating her needs with your Persian carpets, leather sofas, and linen window
shades....
If you want to buy your cats something they'll appreciate for longer
than 10 minutes this Christmas, why not get them some decent natural cat
litter. I'm not kidding. If your cats are still doing their stuff in
those dusty, clingy, chemical-smelling crystal crumbs, they need some
TLC. And Healthy Pet has just the litter your cats would choose if they
could. It's called ökocat, and it comes from real green materials called trees. My cat and I tried 3 different ökocat litters and here's what we found...
It's been a long, hot summer but there are restless leaves blowing from
cool breezes and, indeed, snow has already fallen in varioius parts of
the northern hemisphere. Our dogs are shivering in the cold even as
they can't hide the delight in their eyes that cold has finally
arrived. A warm shelter is a perfect way for your pet to enjoy the
winter weather. Here are 5 of the top-rated insulated dog houses for
your buddy, which promise to keep your dogs warm in winter and cooler in
the summer. For extra heat I've also listed a super dog-house heater
for use when it's super cold outside.
Everyone else gets to nuzzle with a heating pad; why not our pups?
Whether your dog is extra-sensitive to cold or has arthritis, bone
spurs, or other conditions that may require a special heat pack, you'll
want to consider this thoughtfully made dog jacket.
Yes, everything is 'pumpkin' this time of year! But for all the
decorative functions of the pumpkin and its major starring role in sweet
dessert muffins and pies, we tend to forget about the pumpkin's
nutritive properties. The pumpkin, a member of the squash family,
actually plays a role in regulating insulin production. And for dogs and
cats, pumpkin is also recommended
as a dietary supplement to regulate digestion; imagine, it can be used to treat constipation OR diarrhea! You don't have to worry about hiding
pumpkin in peanut butter either; dogs and cats love the flavor! Here are 10 of the top-shelf prepared pet meals and treats that already include pumpkin....
I really enjoy grooming my cats and dogs and I think they like it too -
mostly they love the attention. The thing I really hate, though, is
having to 'groom' myself after I'm done grooming them. And it's not
just me; the whole house gets full of their fur. Tempted by its great
reviews, I recently gave in to purchasing a BFF - Be Forever Furless fur
and lint remover brush.
Purina is the most recent pet food company to announce a line of breed-specific dog foods; Beta™. Although currently the line is available in Great Britain only, I suspect it's just a matter of time before it's available in the U.S,. as are Eucanuba and Nature's Recipe breed-specific dog foods currently. Royal Canin produces breed specific foods for dogs and cats. The question is: Should your Terrier be fed differently from a Shepherd? Your Maine Coon from a Siamese?
We really have some great pet costume designs in this year's 8th
annual Halloween Pet Costume Competition, and it was a very competitive
field. We have winners in several typical categories, like the Cutest,
Funniest, and Best Impersonator costumes, but we added some new
categories like Best Prehistoric and Best Proof That Hello Kitty Is
Indeed A Cat.... Let's warm up by starting off with the Cutest Pet
Costume of 2014....
There are not many toys that can keep a cat's attention for very long;
we cat owners have noticed that once or twice.... But there is something
special about the SmartyKat Feather Whirl Electronic Motion Ball that
does seem to keep cats interested, and the toy even won the Best In Show
Cat Product Award at the 2014 SuperZoo new product show.
