Product Review: Comfy Cove Dog Bed

With temperatures turning to cold, it is time to inspect your dog’s bedding and make sure that they sufficiently protect them drafts and chills. This is especially important with older dogs, dogs suffering from arthritis, an illness, or post-surgery, and whimpy Boxers who think that they deserve to sleep under the covers! Picture in your head .. [ read more ]

Pet Acoustics

I receive a lot of dog stuff and geek stuff in my inbox each day – name of the game when you work with animals and work off the internet I guess. However, this is one of the first times that my love of dogs and my fascination for technology have collided! Pet Acoustics has developed .. [ read more ]

Product Review: Brake Fast Bowls

I have had a few questions come in recently about how to stop dogs from eating their dinner too fast only to vomit it up a few minutes later.

The Crate Pad to Beat all Crate Pads

I got to thinking after yesterdays question about the dog that no longer wants to sleep on the owner’s bed. I talk a lot about crate training and using crates as a safe, secure place where your dog to can ‘chill’ but I never say much about their comfort. Have a look at the bottom of .. [ read more ]

There are two weeks left to Halloween – time to think about what your dog is going to dress up as this year! I am not always someone to dress my dog.

New! Exclusive NFL Team Jerseys for Dogs

Pet Insurance

Question: I read that, “most people are better off forgoing pet insurance and instead putting the money they would have spent on premiums into a savings account. Pet coverage can cost $2,000 to $6,000 over the life of an average pet, and the chances are slim you’ll ever need to shell out that much for treatment.” Click .. [ read more ]

Product Review: Collapsible Travel Food Bags

Being from the west coast and growing up in rain country, I am a great believer in Ziploc bags. I put everything in Ziploc bags and when road-tripping, I often carry a good dozen or so extra because they are just so darn handy! However, after spending two weeks road-tripping around the mountains of .. [ read more ]

Product Review: Tough, Chew and Water Resistant Dog Beds

Road-tripping in the Colorado mountains for two weeks with two Boxers definitely proved to be challenging at times. Before we left, we figured out the perfect way to keep them comfortable in the car during the day in their Deluxe Pet Travel Hammock, which they loved AND protected my old Range Rover from hair, dirt, ..
