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....
Can't enjoy the icy blast of AC with the kids complaining about the heat from the back seat? The Noggle is an easy to install and easy to use device to get the cool air to the backseat quicker.
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.
I very easily see the point of ball launchers for dogs like the Chuckit, but you really have to 'throw like a girl,' and not like Philadelphia teen Mo'Ne Davis,
the now-famous female little league pitcher with a 70 mph fast ball, to need a treat launcher!
Still, there are some benefits to having a gadget that can pitch a pet
treat for you....
Whether your dog has suffered injuries requiring leg amputation, or
illness has weakened his legs so that his movements are restricted, you
may want to look into some of the mobility aids available to help your
dog stand up, walk, and accomplish tasks that improve his lifestyle.
From dog wheelchairs to simple cloth binders and floor gripping boots,
you should be able to help your dog enjoy life more.
What I love about products designed by The Refined Feline is that they serve cats in a very functional way, and
they also add an elegance to your home decor that doesn't stand out and
shout "This is for THE CAT!" In fact, they're so lovely, they make you
wish you were a cat so you could enjoy them too. Take, for instance,
the Cat Cloud cat shelves....
When Kameron and Nancy Carlson first learned that their 9-year old
Italian greyhound had diabetes, they naturally followed their
veterinarian's instructions and put "Vinny" on insulin injections.
Unfortunately, as in many cases of canine diabetes, Vinny's health did
not suddenly rebound. His glucose levels fluctuated dramatically from
having too much insulin to too little insulin in his body. Seeing their
poor dog so sick inspired Kameron Carlson to find a way to give Vinny
and other dogs with diabetes a normal, active life again....
Nothing gives a cat lover more pleasure than watching his cat at play.
The domesticated cat is always energized by toys that mimic the hunt, and
toys that provide that challenge are likely to keep your cat's interest, such
as a cat's interest is, longer. Cat Amazing not only keeps your cat's interest, but you don't need to operate it for him; it's interactive!
If your dog is woofing up his rawhide long before you've finished your daily meditation, you might want to look into getting a Ruffhide®. It will be his next-best friend and it will give his very best friend some sorely needed personal time.
