The site is well designed and the product very promising! I am dying to try it out on Jessie. She has a dry snout and we have done everything to soothe her. I changed her bowl, applied Chapstick and now will give the Natural Dog Snout Soother a try. If you try it, let me know what you think!

Just think of it as an all natural lipstick for your dog… It will relieve wind burned, chapped, dry and sore snouts. The Natural Dog Snout Soother also contains sunscreen and it can be applied on paws too!

And The Natural Dog Company offers a 100% unconditional money back guarantee!

Check out what they have to say about their amazing all natural dog snout soother on their website:

If you are looking for an uncommon collar, or a super trendy outfit for your pooch the Diva Dog is the place to go.

They carry a beautiful line of collars from exquisitely crafted leather collars to intricate Swarovski ones. Their Bling section is very beautiful and absolutely sparkly!

Some of the leather collars they carry are on my favorite list and I specially love the “Teeny Posy” Dog Collar . It is for the Teeniest dogs only and the flower accent, decorative stitching and silvery touches make this dog collar a sure hit.

Some of the current categories at the Dog Diva are: fashion, neckwear, bling, dinner, bed, travel, gift and spa. I know they are constantly expanding their line and online presence and I will be checking on them often.

If you have a tiny dog in need of some cool stuff check them out at The Diva Dog.

Ok, I know you have seen the Bed Head® hair products for humans, I have seen and I have used many of their catchy named products. I love their smells, their packaging and branding, but most importantly I love what they do to my hair. I recently was introduced to Pet Head and loved it! Pet Head is a new line of grooming products for dogs, dog apparel and accessories licensed from Bed Head® TIGI.

Here is what they say about their line:
“Pet Head’s line of grooming products includes shampoos, crème rinses and sprays that suite every type of furry situation. Whether it’s a stinky mutt who needs “Dirty Talk” shampoo or a purebred you want to indulge with “So Spoiled” conditioning crème rinse, Pet Head will have them smellin’ and lookin’ fabulous!”

I absolutely love the packaging, modeled after the Bed Head® brand for humans:

•    Life’s an Itch
•    Dirty Talk
•    Fears for Tears
•    Quickie
•    Feeling Flaky
•    Furtastic
•    So Spoiled
•    Dry Clean
•    Fur Ball
•    Poof!

I specifically like the “Fears for Tears” tearless shampoo, Green Apple and Kiwi fragrance, it smells very yummy! Their products are free of harsh chemicals and stuff like Paraben, sulfate and DEA and some shampoos and conditioners are hypoallergenic too. Pricing is around $18.00 and they can be found online at pethead.com and in several distributors.

Pet Head has a limited free shipping on all orders, so I would start there.

Ok, I love this, I really do. Louie, my Chihuahua has a weird protruding cartilage inside one of his ears and because of that it is easy for ear gunk to accumulate.

The little guy gets miserable if I don’t clean his ears often, and this product is the absolute best! Ear Clens® Pads are pre-moistened wipes and contains effective anti-bacterial and anti-fungal ingredients to keep ears clean and healthy.

I wrap it around my finger and gently wipe dirt, debris and wax from my dog’s tiny ears, he loves it, and I love that this task is a lot easier with Ear Clens Pads. Bottom line is: Gunk is gone and I am not too grossed out.

The Ear Clens@ Pads are great for dogs and cats ears, and even Mia Tortilla my mean kitty lets me wipe the inside of her ears with this product.

Ear Clens Pads 90 ct 90ct cost only $6.99 (did I say I love this?)

A Wig and a Dog? Or how about a wig and a cat? Sounds hilarious to me, funny, funky and too good to pass. Several online shops sell wigs for dogs and cats and a lot of people are jumping on this trend.

Wiggles Dog Wigs - Doll Face

My cats Mia Tortilla and Fuffy will probably let me pose them with wigs but for sure they will not wear them. Jessie the Rhodesian Ridgeback will probably be freaked out but Louie the Chihuahua might wear one.

In any case there are some cool shops out there that are devoted to wigs.
Kitty Wigs have some cool pictures of cats wearing the wigs.
Wiggles Dog Wigs has several shapes, colors and sizes for dogs and cats.
Total Diva Pets offers several styles and a cool photo gallery.

I think the wigs are a cool accessory for a photo shoot and some animals do have the personality to wear them but I think most of them will just enjoy playing with the wigs.

If you do own a wig and have cool pictures, send us one and we’ll start a photo gallery.

I know these days everyone wants to take their pets around town. People can buy strollers, backpacks, carriers and a variety of items to take their dog or cat around. But how about other pets? How about birds?

Well, I found this cool PetPocket Bird Carrier at Doctors Foster and Smith’s site. The vest-style pet carrier is perfect for a small bird or even a lizard, the carrier has a mesh fabric that promotes airflow and visibility, that way your bird can feel the breeze and see everything around. Way cool!

According to the site you can:
“Easily transport your bird – to the veterinarian or the park – and keep him close, safe, and secure. Hands-free, vest-style bird carrier has padded shoulder straps and quick-clip waist strap for comfort. Durable mesh fabric allows good airflow and visibility for your bird. Zippered opening at top and bottom allows access. Removable bottom tray catches messes and wipes clean easily.”

The PetPocket Bird Carrier includes a perch and two toy hanging loops. For small and medium size birds, such as parakeets, canaries, finches, budgies, and lovebirds. The bird carrier costs $29.99.

I do not have a bird but have a couple of friends that do, and this to me sounds like the perfect gift for them!

If you live in NY you can visit the Trixie + Peanut Pet Emporium store and buy their trendy stuff, if not, you will have to resort to visiting their website and finding what you are looking for.

They offer a huge catalog of products that are often featured on magazines and fashion publications. If you are looking for some cool and trendy clothing for the summer Trixie + Peanut is a must see shop.

Here is one that I personally loved:

A Hawaiian shirt designed specially for your fashion conscientious pooch.

Another design I would love to parade Louie in is the baseball jersey, perfect for a day in the park watching a little league game.

The store offers a wide array of upscale merchandise for dogs, cats and pet lovers including: toys, collars, accessories and jewelry, feeding and grooming items and heartwarming gifts for all animal lovers.

The list of celebrity fans is huge and once you visit the site you will see for yourself why the Trixie + Peanut store is such a hit.

With Spring here people are enjoying the outdoors more and adventuring more into parks and public areas, there are countless fun opportunities for us to take out dogs to: visits to the dog park where they can run and play with their friends, hiking trips to remote locations and a slew of other possibilities. One thing to keep in mind is that you will need to be vigilant and keep a keen eye on your dog’s fur because you would not want to bring an unwanted visitor to your home. Ticks! I am talking about them…

Sure there are several products in the market to keep pests away from your pets but I recently heard of an unusual and interesting one. I heard it from Randi, one of my co-workers. She is what I call an “angel on earth” – she fosters sick animals and gives them a loving home with kindness and unconditional love. Currently she fosters 12 sick and unwanted dogs and cats and she had a little tick infestation, so she was introduced to “Beneficial Nematodes”.

Just the name sounded fun to me, so I decided to find out more.

What are Beneficial Nematodes? Well, they are microscopic, non-segmented worms, once released, the Beneficial Nematodes find their host, enter through body openings, emit a toxin that will kill the pest within 48 hours.

What do they attack? Nematodes actively search for insects, insect pupa and insect larvae in places that are constantly moist. They attach over 250 insects and pests such as Fleas, Ticks, and Chiggers.

There are several reputable companies that sell these. I found this one that offers free shipping and a good reading resource and they provide different nematodes for different areas of the country: ARBICO Organics.

Are they effective? The more I read, there more I believe yes, however it is important to get the correct amount for your yard and follow the instructions carefully. They are harmless to humans, animals and very beneficial to the environment. It cannot get much Greener than that!

I got a chance to try something simply delicious that caused quite a stir here at my house. Lucky Dog Cuisine home made food packages arrived here and Jessie my dog knew she was in for a treat. As soon as I opened the cooler containing the all natural dog food she knew something was up. After reading the ingredient’s list,  I decided to taste it myself. I called my daughter for a second opinion and tasted a couple of bites of the Bugsy’s Best Beef and Barley.

Very tasty indeed! After we tasted it,  I mixed some with Jessie’s original food and not surprisingly she ate every morsel before chowing on her dry food. The food must smell extra special to the animals too since my cats came to check Jessie’s new meal plan.

Satisfied that Jessie loved her food, I visited Lucky Dog Cuisine’s site again and re-read all the info they have there. The richness of the ingredients used in Lucky Dog Cuisine provides a stark contrast with some of the ingredient found in other dog foods (you can find more info about this on their website), and in this day and age of so many horror stories about tainted pet food, I knew my dogs would be safe eating this food.

Lucky Dog Cuisine’s menu consists of all natural wholesome food, nutritiously balanced home cooked and ready to eat. The food was developed by Dr. Janice Elenbaas in an effort to help her own dog overcome an illness. After extensive research on the physiology of dogs and their nutritional needs she developed Lucky Dog Cuisine and their delicious home cooked meals.

They currently offer 4 meals:

• Original Beef & Rice
• Perfect Pooch Pasta
• Tail-Wagging Turkey
• Bugsy’s Best Beef and Barley

There is also a Variety pack.

Jessie tried them all. She loved them!

Lucky Dog Cuisine has an online ordering system and also sells their products in some stores. Visit Lucky Dog Cuisine for more information on their home made dog food.
