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)

REVIEW – Many web sites consider poodles to be the second-smartest dog breed (after the border collie), and we have two them!  Elijah and Maggie are toy poodles, and they definitely love a good challenge.  Poodles are known for the problem-solving skills and for being quick learners.  If you have a smart breed, it’s important

REVIEW – If you’re a dog owner, you know it’s important to physically and mentally stimulate your pup regularly. I recently got to test out a toy that does both: the iFetch Ball Launcher. What is it? The iFetch is an interactive dog toy that automatically launches mini tennis balls up to 30 feet. What’s

REVIEW – I have always loved dogs.  I have never loved the amount of fur they can leave around the house.  I have always had shelties as an adult, but during COVID-19, we adopted a puppy from a shelter.  According to his DNA test, Peanut is 44% chihuahua, 28% dachshund, 15% Australian cattle dog,  and

REVIEW – One of the great things about my adorable canine companion, Addy, is that, as a short-haired breed, she saves me a lot on grooming expenses. However, my mom’s pup, Rosey, a Chow mix, always seems to be in need of a good trimming. Relief from the never-ending and costly grooming appointments finally arrived

REVIEW – We have two cats and with summer finally in full swing we wanted to take some longer trips so when MeoWant offered their new self-cleaning litter box for review this was the perfect opportunity to try it out. Let’s see how the MeoWant Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box performs.   What is it? The MeoWant Self

REVIEW – I love my cat, but scooping poop is not on my favorite activities list. I’ve owned several automated litterboxes to help facilitate the feces and love Leo’s Loo Too! C’mon, fellow Gadgeteer. Let’s have a look! What is it? Casa Leo Leo’s Loo Too is a Wi-Fi-connected automated device that empties soiled clumping

REVIEW – Summer is coming, and it’s going to get hot here in the south.  I need a way to keep to our toy poodles from getting too roasty-toasty, and I’m hoping that this cooling pet mat from Rywell will help them out. What is it? The Rywell Arc-Chill pet cooling mat is a mat
