A great tasting, healthy treat
My dog absolutely loves these treats. And I love them, too, because they help to freshen her (generally awful) breath while helping to clean her teeth and providing her with a good, nutritious treat. The blend of proteins, vitamins, and minerals make it a great snack for your dog.
They come in five sizes, each with a different firmness appropriate for that size dog. The new chewy texture helps clean teeth to the gum line. And I love that they have special Greenies for dogs on a diet (Greenies Lite) and for the senior dog (Greenies Senior).
Try out a free sample today and let your dog enjoy a Greenies treat!

Crystal Healing Stones for your Pet!
Yellow jadeite represents aspects of protection and favorable fortune and harmony for your pet. One of the benefits of yellow jadeite is its ability to treat disorders of the reproductive organs. Harold has no more reproductive organs so it can't help him there. Other benefits include assistance in the reduction of pain in the sides, hip and legs as well as providing stabilization. I don't speak dog so Harold can't tell me if the stone is helping but it is an attractive accessory.
Beyond the medicinal possibilities the stones are cute accessories for any dog. They come in three sizes: teacup, small and large/medium. Remember that each stone is one of a kind, and no two stones are alike. Each unique healing stone charm is accompanied with its own silver clasp and "love my dog charm" that attaches to your pets collar ring. Although it is tempting to get the color that you like the most, pay attention to the healing properties each stone provides. This product is available for your cat or horse companions too!

Your backyard...in a box
This is a great product for anyone who lives in an apartment building, people who need/want their dog to go potty inside, elderly pups who have trouble holding their bladder or anyone lacking grass for their pooch at their home. I live on the 5th floor of an apartment building, so keeping The Loo on our balcony has been a convenient addition to our household, especially since my puppy goes to the bathroom so frequently and would have a rough time holding it while we walked down the hall, got in the elevator and then made our way out to the grass.
Unlike a pee pad, The Loo simulates grass and your yard, which is a more natural place for your pup to go to the bathroom and will make the transition from real grass to an indoor potty much easier. Also, to ease the transition onto The Pet Loo , they offer great training videos on their website so your pup can learn to use the product quickly and easily.
The Pet Loo comes in 2 different sizes for you to choose from depending on your pups size. Also, if your dog likes to wander a bit to find the perfect spot to go, I recommend the bigger size so he has some space to sniff around first. If you want a creative and convenient indoor potty solution, The Pet Loo is what you have been searching for!

Buy a teething toy, save your furniture
The teething stick is made out of soft, durable and very colorful fabric that can be used normally or frozen. Just soak it in water, pop it in the freezer and when you take it out it will be a frozen treat and a big hit with your puppy.
Best of all the teething stick is extremely affordable. I found it online at That Pet Place for only $3.99. A small price to pay for a happier puppy during that tough teething stage!

Gorgeous, Handmade Dog Bowls, Treat Jars and more
I have found an artist, Debby of Faux Paw Productions, who creates beautiful, solid and substantial ceramic dog bowls, treat jars, and other accessories, and can match them to your dog's breed, look, and personality.
These handmade, hand thrown bowls have a nice, glossy finish. They are made of the finest white porcelain china clay and made on a potters wheel. The colors are extremely vibrant and bold. The detail in the artistry is amazing. Debby free hand draws every image; then she paints the bowls individually, bisque fires them for 14 hours, glazes them with three hand coated applications, then finish fires them for 8 more hours, and then cools them down for 20 hours. Each piece is a unique work of art.
Design your own dog bowl or take a look at the current product selection. Also, be sure to take a look at the other special items that Debby creates: portraits of your pet (amazing!!!), dog trivets
and for those with feline friends, plenty of kitty items like bowls, cat clocks, and more.
This is one site you should all check out for amazing custom pieces for your pet. These would make wonderful holiday gifts as well!

No More Rainy Day Blues!
They gently clean his face, ears, body, eyes and the ever important paws while eliminating that rainy day smell. They come in 30 count as well as 100 count and you can get them in a variety of options. The PetWipes are my favorite but they also come in Extra-Gentle, EyeWipes, EarWipes and they have a liquid oral care option as well.
You can find them at PetSmart or PetCo and they are priced very reasonably. I like the PetWipes for their versatility and you can even use them on your feline friends.

Fresh and natural food for your dog!
I was recently introduced to Homestyle Select meals for dogs. These all-natural, fresh meals are perfect for maintaining your dogs health while giving them a yummy meal, too. These refrigerated meals come in a log (sort of like Toll-house cookies that you slice and bake) and are very easy to use. You just slice it on the marking on the package, serve it to your dog, and then refrigerate it. It is just like fresh cold cuts or other fresh food.
I tried the chicken, vegetable & rice dinner with my dog and she absolutely loved it. Now, to be totally honest, she loves any type of food, but this one she particularly savored extra-long and I saw extra mouth-licking for awhile after she was finished.
I like that the food has real veggies in it and that it is fresh (there is 70% meat in it!) The rice used is brown rice for easy digestion, and there is also flax-seed oil added for healthy skin and coat. The food is part of the PAN diet, which stands for pasteurized, all natural, and nutrient dense. There is a special food for puppies, too.
To learn more, check out this video, or see if there is a sampling event in your area. Print out a coupon and try out this great product with your dog today!
