Wrong!
We got our first …

I like to keep treats on hand for my dog, not only for training, but also to reward him for keeping up the good behavior that he has already learned. And sometimes just because I love him!
Al’s Grill steak flavored treats are a hit with …

Our dog started acting a bit strange lately, she started scratching and licking walls, eating grass and trying to collect other dogs poop (thankfully we were quite successful at stopping that). Now she had this behaviour when she was a puppy but the behaviour stopped for more than a …

Aquatic turtles, which are usually “Sliders” or “Red Eared Sliders” are actually a lot of fun to own as a pet.
Ours was a stray baby turtle that we found once while walking our dog. We couldn’t find the mother, so we kept her and she’s been a great …

We recently went out and bought a guinea pig for our youngest son. We went to Petsmart after one of our coworkers recommended it. They own three dogs and they said that they only trust Petsmart with their pet supplies. Honestly, I don’t know how “good” a pet store …

We bought SmartyKat SuperScratcher for our three cats, so that they’d use it for clawing. Even though their claws are trimmed, they still want to scratch on occasion, and we wouldn’t want them to do it on furniture. This SuperScratcher is made of cardboard, it is actually a flat …

We got our American Bulldog after the passing of our 12 year old Chow Chow/Wolf Hybrid mix. That was 4 years ago. I have always considered myself a “dog” person. I take pride in the fact that I know a lot and continue to learn about numerous breeds; and …

We’d had our cat for approximately 3 months before we decided to let him outside. He’d engineered his escape from the house a couple of times already so we thought it was best to bite the bullet and let him run free. Of course the first thing we considered …

I personally will never get another hamster as a pet. I had a small Teddy Bear hamster in my childhood, and my son recently asked me to get one. My answer was, “No way, Jose!”. I remember all the annoying things about my hamster. His name …

I have kitties and I hate cat litters these days do to the scent the contain and all the horrible unnatural ingredients. One in particular I strongly dislike is the Armin Hammer Baking Soda Scented Cat litter, although I will admit it does clump nicely. However, I recently switched …

The Hartz Flexa-Foam Round About Elephant dog toy is a favorite of our dog toy collection for my beagle. I cannot count the number of hours that my dog and I have enjoyed this toy together. I have had to replace the Round About Elephant dog toy several times …

I realized I needed to purchase a new pet carrier once I was getting ready to adopt a new kitten. I had multiple cats for most of my life, but I had been using a large plastic pet carrier that was clearly meant for a medium sized dog. It …

I have a medium size female dog (it is a boxer) who was very sick a few months ago so you can imagine that since then I am always alert to her health. The vet indicated me Royal Canin food at that time and I continued giving this food …

This system includes a specially designed box to be used with the Tidy Cats Breeze litter pellets and the urine pads. The claim is that the litter will not track outside of the box and …

For almost a year now, I’ve been caring for this one adorable mini-dachshund called “Tokwa”. Apparently, these dogs are probably the most adorable and sweetest pet that you can get. I know that because my family had never missed having a dog for a pet. We’ve had mongrels from …

Why live with just one cat, when you could live with more?
Not only do I live with 1 cat, but times that by 7!
That’s right, 7 is a lucky number. Living with so many cats can have many challenges, but the rewards just plain outweigh them. Having so many …

YAY for Nature’s Miracle. Joy for my poor carpets and poor me that has to constantly deal with the cat hairballs and occasional accident. Nothing else really works. All any other stain/odor product makes me is disappointed that I didn’t buy Nature’s Miracle. I have even …
