I don’t know about you, but in the summer months, if I leave the house without my sunglasses I usually get a headache. That’s why when I found this site I knew it was perfect for my dog Jessie.

Doggles are the first ever, and so far only, sunglasses just for dogs. The sunglasses fit dogs from 3 pounds to 200 pounds and have and adjustable head and chin straps keep the sunglasses in place.

Worried that the Doggles will be ugly or not have the color you need? No need to worry, they come in 11 different colors with 8 different lenses color options or ultimate options and of course, optimal cuteness.

There are 2 different styles of the sunglasses, both with 100% UV protection, which in the long term can save your best friend eye damage or disease. There is also a mesh option with is half the price, but also half the protection. They are also shatterproof and anti fog!

No need to break the bank either, the Doggles are Cost between $10 and $20 dollars, about the same price as sunglasses you’d find for yourself at a store. Doggles have a 30 days to return policy, but from the sounds of it, there would be no reason to return them!

Dog Fur dyeing a growing trend and there are several dog grooming competitions for color and designs on a dog’s fur. The most recent one had dogs stylized in the shape of a sea horse and Chinese dragon! That is absolutely an extreme grooming competition!

I have not yet seen any grooming competition for cat’s fur, but that is probably because cats just can’t be bothered

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!

The moment I got the Puppy Hugger beds I knew my pets were in for a treat. They knew it too…

The Puppy Hugger™ products are handmade, perfectly crafted and made from the softest material I have seen or touched, so it is no wonder my furry kids loved it. Actually, after a short while the two cats and Louie the Chihuahua were fighting to lie down in the big soft plushy bed.

The largest bed we have, the “Giraffe Cuddle Plush Pet Bed” is never empty, someone is always curled up there.

These are truly heavenly beds, super soft and luxurious and that is because the Puppy Hugger beds, crate pads and blankets are handmade from the softest material I have seen and they are perfectly crafted to ensure years of use. And I do mean softest material! As a matter of fact they refer to the material they use as “soft-as-butter” and after touching it I have to agree 100%. Soft as butter indeed!

Besides using hand-picked materials specially coated to resist dirt & dog hair, another wonderful quality of these products is the fact that they can be machine washed and will not loose their softness and will still look and feel as good as new. To seal the deal, the beds come in a variety of patterns and colors that will complement any decor.

You can visit them at PuppyHugger.com and find out for yourself the ultimate luxurious bed for your treasured pet.

We just came back from a great summer camping trip with our dog. The location was beautiful, the weather perfect and the time with friends and family was awesome. Did we have a little excitement? Absolutely. On the first night, we were sitting around the campfire talking with friends when our Rhodesian Ridgeback Jessie, decided to chase a forest inhabitant. Unfortunately for Jessie, and all of us around her, Jessie’s subject was a skunk. Before we could even get out of our camping chairs Jessie got sprayed in the eyes and mouth. She came running back foaming, sneezing and rubbing her eyes.

Poor thing. The taste must have been horrible, the smell sure was atrocious. I immediately proceeded to remove the excess and washed her with some shampoo. Of course that did nothing… To the rescue came my friend with her can of tomato juice. Apparently that is the best home remedy for skunk odor.

I doused Jessie with tomato juice and cleaned her eyes with saline solution and we waited patiently for the juice to dry. That did take a little while since Jessie’s fur is so thick but to my amazement when it did dry, most of the stench was gone. In the morning she was as good as new.

That next evening by the campfire Jessie stayed by us. I am not sure what kind of lesson she learned, but I sure did learn one. When camping in the woods, pack tomato juice!

Because of this extra camping excitement I decided to do a little research and came up with a good camping list of essentials to take when camping with dogs. You can download the iPetScene Camping Checklist FREE here.

Once in a while you come across a cool product that you are totally impressed with. Well, I have to say the brushes from Pet Head did the trick for me. Sure they look like countless other pet brushes, but they come equipped with extra bonuses that just make life easier!

First lets talk about the Pet Head Dog Undercoat Rake

Not only did it remove all knots, loose hairs and tangles; it also turned my pet’s coat into silky, soft goodness. I would have been happy with that amazing performance, but wait there is more! The Pet Head Dog Undercoat Rake had a little button that separated the teeth of the rake from the body; making it super easy for me to remove the tangled mess from the brushes. That little extra design feature scored huge with me!

Another brush I tried was the Pet Head Fabulous Dog Pin Brush. This one is ideal for wavy and curly coats; since my pet did not fit the profile I went on a small trip and visited a friend with super hairy, curly and wavy dog. The brush was a hit! The hair was brushed to perfection with all the tangles separated and easily removed by the rounded pins. My hands? They were fine thanks to the brush’s ergonomic design. And once again I was surprised to find a bonus “hidden” comb built inside the brush. Another huge hit with me! The little comb is perfect for around the eyes, or to remove the hair from the brush.

I have to say, Pet Head’s products for pets are just as outstanding a the ones for people. These folks know what they are doing! I love their stuff…my pets do too!

You can find the brushes at several pet shops and online at iPetScene Online shop powered by Amazon.
