My dog Teddy is a nervous sort who would have a stroke if his leash started blinking, but this would work for other, calmer dogs.

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

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

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

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)
