I don't know about you, but a concern of mine has always been protecting my dog from poisons and pesticides - especially those I need to use to get rid of destructive backyard pests.
I was thrilled to find out about EcoSmart, manufacturers of 100% safe pesticides. Their products are based on the natural defenses that plants and trees have used for their self protection against insects and pathogens for millenia - essential oils. As a result, their pesticides have no effect on people, pets or the environment! There is thus no need to clear out pets and kids after application or be concerned if they are near EcoSmart products. EcoSmart products have no adverse effect on mammals, birds, and fish and also will not contaminate water sources.
EcoSmart products include: Ant and Roach Killer, Home Pest Control, Flying Insect Killer, Insect Repellent, Weed and Grass Killer, Garden Fungicide, Garden Insect Killer, Lawn Insect Killer, and Wasp and Hornet Killer. You can buy these pesticides individually or in value bundles. EcoSmart is offering free shipping on all online purchases over $45.

They have an awesome starter kit that allows you to train your dog right in your own back yard. This particular kit costs under $450 and has quite a few agility obstacles that you can use. Even if you never plan to enter your dog into a competition, this is a great way to have fun and get exercise for the both of you. If you're not ready for a kit, they have a plethora of equipment you can choose from.
When I first came across "The Pet Loo" - I thought, what in the world is this? But the more I familiarized myself with the product, the more I liked it.
For those of you not familiar with toilet parlance, a "loo" is a toilet in Australian-speak. The Pet Loo is a hygienic, portable toilet for dogs and cats. It consists of a lightweight box that fits on a balcony or anywhere inside an apartment, so that the animal can relieve itself when its owner can’t be there or if for some reason the animal can't access the outdoors. On the box is high-quality synthetic grass that attracts the pet and encourages it to pee/poop. There is a draining board under the grass so that urine flows away from the surface and down angled channels to the base of the box. The box is made of material that is resistant to the acidity of urine and the stench. The box comes apart easily for cleaning, and no assembly is required.
The Pet Loo comes in two sizes to suit your cat and dog. It is priced between $159 and $239. The company also offers cleaning solutions and replacable synthetic grass.
If you really want to treat your dog to the best spa experience at home, this package has it all. Oh My Dog Supplies has everything you could ever want in a spa package for your furry friend. My favorite has to be the bone shaped soap on a rope but to be honest, I think I'd have so much fun smelling and trying every single item in this package. The retail price is $63.95 but look at what all you get:
Each pack includes a 16 oz shampoo, 16 oz conditioner, 4 oz spritz, 1/2 oz Paw Rub, a bone shaped peppermint soap-on-a-rope, a lavender candle and, of course, the rubber duck! You can choose between lavender and peppermint scents and shipping is a low cost flat rate.
I think this spa set might just make bath time fun!
I don't know about you, but I am steamed that my home team, the Philadelphia Eagles, signed convicted animal abuser/murderer/torturer Michael Vick to a two year contract. I would imagine that if all the dogs in the world could understand what he'd done, they'd be mad too.
So leave it to industry to overnight transform the old Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy into a new version sporting an Eagles uniform! It sells for $14.95 and is touted as an "indestructible chew toy for dogs that enjoy a challenge. Selling via ebay for now, you can purchase it here. Find out more at www.vickdogchewtoy.com

Any dog can sport a bandana, but its the stylish dog that wears a Jumperz! So what is the difference you may ask? Well, a bandana is a swatch of fabric you tie around your dog's neck - if your dog is like mine, it comes off pretty quickly, interferes with his collar and leash and moves around the dog's neck. A Jumperz by contrast is a wonderful invention! It has a "tunnel" that the collar slides through - so that when you fasten the collar, the Jumperz stays put. It is much more comfortable for the dog as he isn't sporting a collar and a bandana, but a collar/bandana in ONE! It stays in place, and cannot fall off! Brilliant!
Jumperz are produced by AlleDogTogs's Shop - a shop with a charitable heart - $1 from the sale of each Jumperz goes to Wire Fox Terrier Rescue Midwest. Jumperz come in all sorts of wonderful patterns and themes -- and the latest range is jeweled and denim - they are gorgeous!
Jumperz are so affordable - between $2.50 and $12 - that you can buy a whole bunch of them. Take a look today.

Furfection Perfection and Pawds from Le Pet Petite
There are many pet spa products out there but after receiving a beautiful gift pack of Furfection Natural spa products from Le Pet Petite, I was impressed with the quality of their merchandise. The gift pack included Gentle "No Tears" Shampoo, Moisturizing Aloe Shampoo, Sensitive Skin Shampoo, Extra-Shine Moisturizing Conditioner and Kissy Face Pet Facial. As my dog has sensitive skin prone to seasonal allergies and hot spots, I was delighted with the results of their Sensitive Skin Shampoo - it smelled lovely and left Axel's coat gleaming and his skin cool (its usually hot as a result of his allergies). The shampoo contains oatmeal, tea tree oil, vitamin E, aloe vera and a host of other natural ingredients. A friend tried the "No Tears" shampoo and really liked it as she always dreaded getting shampoo in her dog's eyes. Also good to know that all Furfection products were created on the advice of veterinarians.
Le Pet Petite carries a large variety of other pet products. The company generously sent me one of their pet Pawds - a delightful cosy bed for your dog or cat. The Pawds are reversible, come in various colorful fabrics and are filled with 100% polyfil. It can be cinched as a nest-like bed or spread flat into a comfy mat. I've never seen a pet bed like this - they are unique and your pet will love it!
