I have a lot of pets as I live alone and these pets act as companions for me and keep me sane, to a certain extent.
One of the pets that I have is a Boston Bull Terrier and of all the dogs I have had in my life, this …

I was a little skeptical about purchasing this product at first. I had been desiring a small to mid-sized play center for a heavier, but active grown cat. My critter loves to chase anything dangling, anything that makes noise, and to play peek a boo with some unsuspecting person’s …

I took my 2 standard poodles to Jeannie’s Grooming for a total of 5 years. I could not of been more satisfied with a groomer than I was with the groomers at Jeannie’s. Anyone who has owned a poodle knows very well how important it is for the groomers …

I have lived with cats for most of my life. and there is nothing like it in the world. Dogs are eager to please and quicker to go along with certain things. Cats are more independent-minded, but I don’t see anything wrong with that. I believe they are just …

I absolutely love this Quiet Time Deluxe Plastic Carrier Pet Bed. I purchased it two years when I got my black lab. The size is the one that fits 36-40″, Model 40267-GY, but it does come in 4 other sizes to accommodate breeds of all sizes.
First of …

Okay, the name alone makes this sound like some cheesy, late-night piece of junk that will fall apart in a month. I was hesitant to buy this as I had already purchased two dog brushes within about a two-month period and been disappointed with the results.
I visited the website …

My German shepherd dog has always been spirited, he has pulled since he was a puppy and nothing that I tried,(including training,)stopped him from pulling me, the older he got of course the stronger he got, and the more I got dragged around. One day despite my better judgement, I …

The shampoo has a very gentle subtle scent, I really like it it is a bit sweet and in my opinion just a bit of vanilla like - not too much though. The scent that stays on the dog is not to strong, it smells very natural and you …

I happened to be owned by two very fussy felines, named Pyewacket and Kissy. To put it mildly they are pampered and spoiled and refuse to eat cheaper brands of any kind of pet food. They pretty much stick to the same kind of pet food all the …

I volunteered at Furry Friends Rescue for a total of about two years. Since I was twelve when I did this, I became a junior. My job (along with the rest of the juniors) was to sit with a dog in a pen while at an adoption fair, all …

Exo Terra Heat Glo Infrared 75 Watt Bulb
Exo Terra is known for their popular reptile products, but I really hope this product does not become popular. It is such an awful product; I should have not have listened to the Petsmart employee that told me to get it for …

After taking in a rescue dog that turned out to be the worst compulsive chewer I have ever owned, I knew I needed to find the best chew toy on the market. After tons of research and a lot of trial and error, buying a chew toy or …

I have been buying Scoop Away cat litter for years. I do easily switch between brands, depending on price, but I like going back to Scoop Away because I know that it delivers.
It clumps up the waste nice and hard and quickly. I have never had a clump fall …

Frontline Plus was the first flea and tick preventative I used on my dogs, but I found that it was ineffective when the weather created an increase in the flea population. Although it’s a good product, it’s definitely not my top choice for flea and tick preventative.
Frontline Plus comes …

I always feel bad about not letting my cats outside. But there are …

I have never really spent time or money on grooming my dogs, but when I recently began to do so I was recommended this spray. It is made by Bed Head which I’m sure a lot of the ladies know about. I kind of felt like it may be …

I decided to try this cat food one day and so I bought a can. Truthfully, my cats wouldn’t even touch this stuff and I don’t blame them. And even a stray cat that lives in my yard turned her nose up at it, too. And if a stray …

If you have never owned a Chow Chow dog, you’d better read up on them beforehand. They are not the kinds of dogs that people think they are. Known for their thick coats of fluffy fur, squat legs, and purple tongues, these dogs are quite temperamental. …

I had purchased Advantage after all my attempts …

I can’t say enough about Milk Bone Crunchy Mar-O Snacks, good things that is because my dogs absolutely loved these treats. Their eyes sparkled in anticipation of these treats. I want to point that out because in all honestly, my dogs aren’t that finicky, but they really …

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 …

If, like me, you have cat(s) with frequent hairballs, you know how unpleasant and distressing it is for both of you. Two years ago, at my wit’s end, I walked into a specialty pet store and begged the clerk for some way to stop the endless upchucking.
She recommended …
