You’ve probably seen those cloth neck coolers for bipeds and I bought one for my dog last year but of course it would not stay on: you have to tie it like a scarf and with one swoop of his paw my dog could strip if off faster than the Gentle Leader. The people variety [...]

If you have a pet you love, you want to keep him safe. If he’s lost, you want clear, up-to-date address and phone numbers with him so he can be returned to you safely. If your pet has an illness or needs special care, you want to be sure the people who find him can [...]

Do you like to take your dog or cat with you while you’re out and about, but you don’t want to look like Paris Hilton with a scared animal clutched under your arm? If your pet is 15 pounds or smaller, he’ll fit in the Timbuk2 Muttmover backpack. The bag is made of durable waterproof [...]

Our dog Teddy has a microchip for ID, and he also wears various ID tags that will hopefully bring him back to us if he should ever get lost. The microchip is useless if the person who finds him doesn’t happen to have a chip reader, and the ID tags don’t contain information about his [...]

If you live in the midwest, you’ve had a rotten winter. You’ve had snow upon snow upon a solid three to five inch thick rink of ice. You’ve had issues with melting, leakage and if you live in Indiana, you’ve just been hammered with what feels like one gallon of rain a minute. Now compound [...]

If you have a dog, you have stood in the rain with him while he does his business. No big deal for you, if you have an umbrella, but what about Fido? If you want to avoid wet dog smell, get your pooch his own umbrella – the Dogbrella. It’s a 29″ diameter canopy (think [...]

Humans were too lazy to get up off their bums to change the channel on the TV, so the remote control was invented. We were too lazy to go to the library so eBook Readers were invented. Now we’re apparently too lazy to play ball with our dogs, so the Fetchtastic was invented. The Fetchtastic is [...]

The soft rubber belt is easy on paws, and the speed, incline, and distance can be easily adjusted with the simple controls. There’s also an emergency stop. The Canine [...]

I think I saw a bumper sticker once that read ”Dogs have owners; Cats have staff”. This is certainly true in our household and one of the staff functions I least like to do is clean the litter box. The folks at Scoop Free think they have the answer with their Ultra Scoop Free Self-Cleaning [...]

FroliCat toys are made by Brilliant Pets, the people who make the Scoop Free cat litter box, so they know cats. I was sent their three offerings to review- the Dart free-standing laser toy; the Bolt hand-held or standing laser toy; and the Sway, a magnetically mounted cat toy. By the way, dogs may be interested in the [...]

After reading Robin’s post yesterday about her dog being attacked by off-leash dogs, I remembered seeing the Dog Dazer while surfing the Sky Mall site. The Dog Dazer emits a high-frequency sound that’s painful to dog’s ears, but inaudible to humans. Use a 1-2 second burst to startle and hopefully deter a threatening dog from [...]

For the third time in a month, my dog has been attacked by other dogs (unleashed) while out on our walks. I started carrying a pepper sprayer after the second incident but this last time I could not get it whipped out fast enough, determine where the nozzle was, and could not fumble for the [...]

I wanted my dog to actually write the review for the Shapoopie trial period we experienced, but he kept misspelling all the words and it was hard to read. Example paragraph he typed: uy 7KL&:& ypr9e9yha; 7hjksbjkaa Hag;] ]a;48*(&*38848kjkkjmnmn mnnkljkljhg3s So I let him draw some of the illustrations instead. In short, the Shapoopie ($24.95) [...]

If you’re a dog owner like me, you always want to give your dog the best. Whether it is the food they eat or the bedding they sleep in or the treats they receive for being good. But let’s face it, deep down inside, some dog owners get the good stuff not just for their [...]

What’s more fun than scooping up poo on your dog walk? Doing it with a new gadget. The Shapoopie ($25) is a telescoping rod with a fetch pocket (ahem) at the very end. Position the device under the uh, hot spot (ahem) and voila — no bending, scraping, squatting (er uhm well you know what [...]

Now that your pet has his own doorbell to let you know when he wants out, he’ll need his own water fountain to keep himself refreshed while he’s outside. Taylor Gifts has a Doggie Fountain that attaches to your garden hose so he can have fresh drinking water whenever he likes by simply stepping on the metal [...]

The Smart Chime wireless doorbell from SmartHome has a push button for people, as you’d expect, and it also has a special paw-shaped doorbell trigger for your pet. You’ll hear a musical chime when the door button is pressed. You can set the pet trigger to “dog” to hear a bark or to “cat” to [...]

If you own a dog, you have to incorporate his schedule into the family’s schedule. Every day, you have to make sure your dog is walked at least a few times and fed a couple of times each day. If your dog requires it, you may also have to give him medicine. If you are [...]

As any dog owner can attest, picking up pet waste is a fairly unpleasant task. And it’s always a sure bet that the minute I bend down to pick up my puppy’s once-dinner, a neighbor will turn the corner just in time to see my daily indignity. Enter the doggie waste vacuum–or as the manufacturer [...]
