Drive Your Cats Wild

With colder weather approaching, your cats may begin to feel a little cabin fever as the snow begins to fall and even though they are exclusively indoor cats, they can feel a little shut in.

All cats are driven to scratch and exercise their nails. One way you can keep this from happening is to provide an adequate surface for your cats to enjoy pulling their claws on and getting a real work out.

Also, you need to keep your cats fit. Active play is a great way to do that. Even older cats enjoy a good romp and though they may not be as fast as they once were, they still enjoy stalking, chasing and having fun with a cat toy.

One fun cat toy that will drive your cats crazy and give them a fantastic work out is the Bada Beam Automatic Rotating Laser Cat Toy. You simply put this cat toy on the floor, open the lid so you can aim the beam at the floor or the wall and stand back. Your cats will jump, tumble and twist trying to catch the ever moving laser beam of light.

The light will automatically start and stop; keeping the teasing and interest of your cats for a long time. The unit runs on three AA batteries which come included with the toy.

Keep your cats healthy and fit, especially during the upcoming winter months when boredom with their existing toys may strike. Up the action around your house with a laser toy and drive your cats wild!

Pets Travel in Comfort and Style

One of the best things about the summer and early fall is that it is a great time to take a vacation and if you plan it right, you can chuck the idea of boarding your dog at a kennel and take him along for the trip.

Most dogs travel very well and if your pup is a good traveler, there's no reason not to bring him along on vacation, after all, he is a member of the family. One great way to do it is to make sure he has his own place to sit and a car seat is the safest way for a dog to travel. It keeps him secure in the event of an impact and it also keeps him from causing an unnecessary distraction to the driver and causing an accident.

A BedPal is a great way for your dog to be safe and feel secure. Matty the Monkey is a big brown monkey that doubles as a comfort animal as well as a spiffy car seat for the safe transport of your pet. If your pet needs to feel safe in a new place - bringing something familiar for sleeping is a great idea.

A BedPal will get your dog there safely and then give him a familiar friend to snooze with so being in a new place won't make your dog nervous. Matty the Monkey will fit pets up to 25LBS and is the perfect snuggling and sleeping companion for your dog.

Fall Fashions for Dogs

Cool days of fall bring fun fashions for dogs. If you have a dog with shorter fur or a dog that is closely clipped when he is groomed, he might feel the chill of autumn a little more than a lot of dogs.

If you enjoy exercising with your dog, jogging is a great workout for both of you. With both human and canine obesity levels at all time highs and a recent study showed more people and their dogs were overweight than not; it is more important than ever to maintain physical fitness for both yourself and your dog. By exercising with your dog you can strengthen the bond you have together as well as get fit.

A great item that will keep your dog from feeling chilly is the Mint Velour Dog Warm-up Suit. This is a soft and cozy velour one-piece warm up suit that has a hood and ribbed trim. If you have a dog that is a little arthritic, some dogs benefit by having their muscles and joints kept warm and this suit makes an ideal sleep wear item, especially if your home has a tendency to get cold. It comes in mint which is one of the hottest colors of the fall fashion season for this year.

If you need a fun gift for a canine companion of a friend, consider getting a cozy and comfortable mint velour warm-up suit. It will make a great gift and is an item that can be used both for indoor and outdoor use from fall clear into the winter months.

Cool Off the Fun Way

Some of the steamiest days can come at the end of summer and keeping your canine cool is still a priority.

Obviously having plenty of fresh drinking water within easy access is a must, along with shade will help keep your dog cool during the hottest days. Additionally you can make keeping cool fun by playing with a ice-cold water filled ball.

Your dog can run and fetch this fun toy and stay cool while they have a blast playing with the Squirt Ball Refreshing Fetch Ball Dog Toy. You just fill the ball with ice water and then let your dog run and play. If he seems to be getting hot - just have him play with the ball in one spot. You can toss the ball to him and let him catch and drop it. You can also play a fun game of tug-of-war with your dog to keep the cold water flowing on your dog and letting him have fun playing some of his favorite games. The ball is just 4" diameter ball and is easy for most dogs to hold in their mouths.

Play is an important part of keeping your dog exercised and fit. Obesity is one of the top factors that causes health problems in dogs and it is preventable through a regular regimen of a good diet and plenty of exercise. Keep your dog cool and fit by using the Squirt Ball - your dog will love you for it!

Think Ahead to Colder Days

With the colder days of winter fast approaching, it's time to think ahead to the comfort of your favorite canine pal. When you take your dog for a walk, if he is a smaller breed or has a short coat; he will feel the chill of winter winds a little more than a breed that is built to withstand the cold.

You can help your dog to remain warm and comfortable during a walk by getting him a little helper in the form of a coat or parka. A nice warm parka such as the Everest Snow Parka will keep your dog warm and cozy. This well made parka is made of quilted water resistant nylon on the outside and an insulated lining on the inside to keep your dog's body heat held close to his body and keep his body temperature warm so he doesn't get chilled.

This fun parka even has a fashionable faux fur trim to keep your pooch at the height of fashion. It has a velcro closure so it is as easy to put on as it is to take off your dog and best of all, it comes in several sizes to fit most dogs. The small size is 8 inches and the XX-large size is 26 to 30 inches. It's simple to measure your dog to insure you get the right size parka. Simple take a measuring tape and measure your dog from the base of his neck to the base of his tail. If you have a wiggly dog, use a piece of string and lay it next to the measuring tape and you should have an accurate measurement.
