Pet Gadgets

REVIEW – Cats are finicky creatures. However, I really start to feel bad for those cats come August. It is just plain hot. And if I’m miserable without my fur coat, I can only imagine how crazy the heat is with their fur coat which also brings about all of the shedding and allergies and […]

REVIEW – Pets are family, and just like family we love them and yet they can drive us crazy. Ollie (above) doesn’t drink for a while and then empties the bow. Our beagle “DooLittle” has a super power where he waits until you get all settled on the sofa before he lets you know that

REVIEW– I’m pretty sure my cat thinks she’s a princess, and as an entitled snob, she will only drink out of the faucet in the bathroom. While most cats seem content with a bowl of water or a toilet bowl, I needed to find something different for my cat. The Petlipo Cordless cat water fountain

REVIEW – I love my dog! What I don’t love is all of the fur he leaves around the house.  I reviewed the HomerunPet Grooming vacuum back in December 2023, and I am still using it today to help keep a handle on my dog’s fur.  That vacuum does a great job of pulling the

REVIEW – I have always wondered if having one of those “automatic scooping” cat litter box’s would make one’s life easier, or was this one of those gadgets that turn into more work then what they are worth. Stick around as I try to answer that question. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $199,99 Where to buy:

REVIEW – Pets deserve gadgets too! Today’s candidate, the Wicked Air Ball by Cheerble is an interactive dog toy that claims to adjust to how your dog plays and several different activity modes. It is intended to keep your dog engaged and says that it is “chew-proof”. That’s quite the claim given the wide range

REVIEW – There are a plethora of reasons why I am more of a cat person than a dog person. Probably the ultimate number one reason though, is the fact that I don’t have to pick up anything when my cat goes outside… I think we all know what I’m talking about here, but even

REVIEW – I’ve got cats. Two of them, to be exact, and they are angels when it comes to using a scratching post. One of them has arthritis, however, so she is limited to scratching the base of the posts she has. The Mau Torii cat scratcher allows the elegant style of hardwood yet the

REVIEW – I never thought I would be a “cat guy,” but I’ve had Mini for 17 years and loved it,  apart from hair everywhere and scooping poop. I’ve used several automated litterboxes and thought the Neakasa M1 was a solid design. Was I right? Please join me for a closer look. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons)

REVIEW – I’ve had a cat as a pet for pretty much my entire life. Since I’ve always lived in a rural area, all of my cats have enjoyed being both indoors and outdoors. My current little monster is Ozzy (shown above). He’s an American Bobtail, and he’s something else. 😉 He absolutely loves being

REVIEW – About six months ago, I switched my dog Peanut’s dry kibble made by FrontRunner to the Farmer’s Dog. A couple of friends swear by that food and say their dogs were transformed. I have to admit, Peanut, who is already a pretty high-energy dog, became even more energized. He also dropped the two

REVIEW—My cat, Mini, is 17 years old. She seeks warm laps to conquer, first by purring her victim into complacency and then by nudging their hand to encourage petting. Then, she will headbutt under blankets or plow a laptop aside to take her place in the most temperate climate and bask in her trouncing. The

REVIEW—As you can see from the picture above, I am the proud pet parent of a four-year-old mixed breed (okay, mutt!) named Peanut. He weighs in at 17 lbs and has hiked over 5 miles with me in several state parks. He is also the karma that has finally come back to get me for

REVIEW – Meet my dog, Cooper. Cooper is a one-and-a-half-year-old French Bulldog. Since French Bulldogs often suffer from digestive, neck, and back problems, Cooper must have the correct type of food bowl. This means the bowl must be raised off the ground, and I prefer a slow feeder bowl to help with his digestion. The

REVIEW – The last dog bed that our son’s dog used while visiting our house did not last long. Between the constant in-and-out, and nibbling on treats in bed, it got trashed pretty quickly. Will the White Duck Dog Bed fair any better? Warning: cute dog pics included! What is it? The White Duck Dog

REVIEW – Dogs are a lot like kids. They need daily exercise and mental stimulation. Interactive dog toys are a great way to provide both. Recently, I was allowed to try two such toys from Cheerble. The Wickedbone and Wicked Ball PE. What is it? The Cheerble Wickedbone and Wicked Ball PE (enhanced rubber version)
