If you have a canine companion with hip/joint issues, or one who seems to always be overheated – you MUST try a Canine Cooler Pet Bed! These beds offer a continuous and dry cooling effect – keeping your fur kid comfortable the entire time she is on it. Water absorbs heat from your dog, then disperses the heat back to the surrounding air.
It’s made of a tough material that will not puncture from a dog’s nails, and features built-in antimold and antibacterial agents. The bed wipes clean, is nontoxic and gel free. The relief that a hot dog receives from this bed is astounding – yours will love it. Made in America too!
If you’re anything like me, you’ve looked outside on a cold winter day to see birds sitting on your bird bath – looking dejectedly at the snow and ice where fresh water should be. Sometimes they stick their head in the snow and must be thinking, “There’s GOT to be water in there somewhere! She wouldn’t let us down!” But what’s a person to do? Cold weather happens, water freezes, it happens… NOT SO FAST! There IS a solution!
The Ice Eliminator Bird Bath De-Icer keeps water from freezing so your backyard bird friends stay happy and able to drink or bathe! At only 50 watts, it’s powerful enough to keep the water flowing in temperatures down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but it won’t break the bank to run. It’s constructed with durable enamel that is easy to clean and may also be painted to match the color of your birdbath. The temperature is controlled by a thermostat and the de-icer may be used in a plastic birdbath (without burning the birdbath).
All dogs can swim just fine, can’t they? I mean – it’s natural – everyone has heard of the dog-paddle, haven’t they? Actually – the answer to the first question is no. Dog breeds with low body fat can have difficulty in the water. Older dogs can get tired quickly, and breeds prone to hip dysplasia can have difficulty swimming. Some dog breeds can get hypothermia when exposed to cold water. No matter how well a dog can swim, any dog can drown. Any dog can become fatigued and disoriented. An Aqua Paws dog life jacket will not only give your dog buoyancy in the water, it also has handles/straps to make lifting your dog out of the water much easier.
The Aqua Paws jacket is made of thick and durable vinyl coated foam with heavy duty safety buckles. The fit of a life jacket is as important on a dog as it is on a human and fortunately, there is an appropriate size for every dog breed.
Ever get to that point where you KNOW your dog needs a bath, but you just don’t want the hassle that sometimes comes with bathing the water loving (or hating – depending on circumstances) Fido? Maybe it’s too cold out to wash him outside, maybe you’re not feeling that great and lifting your 90 pound Lab into the tub is just too much for you today, or maybe your water is shut off! Regardless of the reason – these doggie wipes are a great short-term substitution for a bath!
The Perfect Coat Dog Bath Wipes contain moisturizing conditioners to leave your dog’s coat healthy and shiny. The wipes are alcohol-free and formulated to be gentle on the skin. They reduce allergens and static build-up from your dog’s coat and are mild enough to use often. So next time you feel guilty for not bathing your dog – use these wipes as an alternative!
The Midwest Canine Camper Double Door Soft Sided Crate – it’s a mouthful to say, isn’t it? It’s also one of the newest portable crates that Midwest Pet Products carries. Billed as
“Convenience and security wrapped up in an easy-to-transport package!” The Canine Camper Double Door provides your animal companion with a the comfort of home while you travel.
The front and side doors make it very easy to fit into any available space and it’s constructed of fabric backed with PVC for long-lasting use and easy cleanup! This crate comes in a variety of sizes and folds up for easy storage. It also includes a carrying tote, washable comfort pad, top handle and ground stakes (for camping!)
Of all the possible pet supplies out there on the market, the use of dog coats and jackets seem to invoke a variety of conversations. A lot of folks will see a dog with a coat on and think either the dog is spoiled rotten, or the pet parent is just little over the top. But when it’s cold out, veterinarians even concur that some breeds of dogs really do benefit from a coat or jacket.
Small, inactive, and short haired dogs without a thick undercoat are more vulnerable in cold weather. Because of their size, small dogs lack the ability to retain body heat and it can put them at risk for cold-related illness and injury.
Older dogs and dogs who may be under the weather can also benefit from keeping warm and dry on those nasty winter days.
Ever get ticked off by the dust created when you scoop out your cat litter box? If you’re like most cat parents, you do!
Many scoopable cat litter manufacturers claim that their litter is nearly “dust-free”. Given that, there is still a certain amount of dust produced that is visible, and testing has shown that some dust particles are so small they’re unable to be seen!
Scoopable cat litter is very popular – cats love it and their parents love it due to the ease of cleanup. It very effectively helps absorb the odor of a cat’s urine and feces. However, warnings on the Material Safety Data Sheets for most scoopable cat litters clearly state that the dust created during litter handling may be an irritant to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I can actually taste the dust in my mouth!
This scooper reduces the amount of dust created by limiting the size of the “imprint” of the cleaned litter falling back into the box and thereby reducing the amount of dust created!
It’s one of the newest cat litter products out there – check it out!
Those adorable dog boots that you got Spunky for his birthday actually have a purpose!
There are times when a dog should definitely wear protection for his tender feet! These include:
- When it’s cold enough outside that you can’t walk your dog comfortably without something covering YOUR ears
- When you’re walking somewhere that salt has been spread to melt the ice
- When the snow squeaks as you walk on it
- When your dog tries to lift all of his paws off the ground to avoid walking on the surface
