Argo Pet Avion Carrier
Guinea Pig {Product Review}
I often get strange looks when people learn I use a pet carrier for my dog, Happy. Many even say things like, “You California people and your dogs.” There’s an assumption that if you put your pup in a carrier, you must consider your canine companion an accessory more than a pet. Not true. The use of a soft pet carrier is necessary for anyone who travels with a pet, uses public transportation or brings a small furry friend on long trips. Carriers can also keep small dogs safe in the car, as many can be secured in place with a seatbelt to prevent the dog from being thrown around if an accident occurs. They also prevent pups from moving about the car, distracting the driver.
Honest Kitchen Dog Food
Guinea Pig {Product Review}
Growing up, dog food options were limited. The old standbys — Alpo, Purina, and Dog Chow — crowded the limited shelf space at the grocery store. The world of grain-free, high protein, and organic was still a long ways away. It wasn’t until my first dog was diagnosed with cancer in 2007 that I started looking into what was going into my pup’s belly. Coincidentally, that seemed to be around the time independent companies began producing pet foods that were closer in nutritional value to what we ourselves put on our own plates.
Since then I’ve upgraded all of my pets’ foods to what I consider high quality meals, but I still rely on the convenience of opening a can or pouring out some kibble. Raw foods can be a pain since they only keep in the fridge for a few days and take up valuable freezer space for longer hauls. Cooking from scratch, while a nice idea, just isn’t realistic (especially now that there’s a baby in the house). So are my four-legged companions stuck with processed foods?
Bad Air Sponge Removes Bad Pet Odors (And More)
It seems like the topic of odor elimination has become something of a specialty of mine. I can’t deny it’s a heated and ongoing topic of conversation at my house, so I think at this point I have to own it. Hell, we’re all pet owners here.
A few months ago, a great thing happened: three close friends of mine moved around the corner from me. Then ANOTHER great thing happened: they offered to let me use a giant closet in their apartment for storage, thereby enabling me to stop paying for an underwhelming storage space elsewhere. But there was a hitch — the closet smelled powerfully, horribly of cat pee. Read the rest of this entry »
