Small dogs, or mini dogs as dog lovers like to call them, are great to bring along on errands or trips. Unlike a large dog, a small dog can fit well in a dog tote. Small dogs are easy to carry around because they are lightweight.
Small dogs are adorable, too. It’s so easy to dress them up. They are also easier to manage and everyone seems to love them.

Pet owners shouldn’t only be concerned with color and style when picking out food bowls. Don’t let a fancy design and bright colors fool you into thinking plastic bowls are better than stainless steel dog bowls. The main points to consider in pet feeders are safety, durability and functionality. Most pet-supply stores will offer a selection of ceramic, stainless steel, glass, and plastic bowls.
Here are some things to consider when shopping for pet food bowls: ceramic bowls are not a good choice for outdoor dogs because in cold temperatures they can crack and dogs may swallow part of the bowl or be cut by a sharp piece. Plastic bowls get dirty easily and often are a breeding ground for bacteria. Many dogs may become ill from ingesting the bacteria. Some animals, like humans, have allergies to plastic. Stainless steel bowls are easy to clean, won’t crack and won’t tip over easily because they are heavier.
Spiffy Dog Air Collars are the newest innovation in dog collars. They are made of lightweight, soft Nylon Aerospace material that is breathable, durable and comfortable. These collars don’t chafe and resists odors and mildew. There are 3 adjustable collar sizes, as well as a Limited Slip Collar, with matching leashes and they come in a large array of colors and styles. We find these collars to be perfect summer-wear for our dogs,since they are light and air can move through the collar’s webbing. They are also perfect for dogs that like to swim, since they stay lightweigh when wet and also dry very quickly.
What a fantastic product Wysiwash is! I could not believe how easy it was to get the gunk out of my kennel. It is a one step and you don’t get your hands dirty. I found it was an affective way to eliminate odor causing germs from my house. The trick is that it turns the sodium hydrochloride tablets into a solution and the dirt just rinses away. The information on Wysiwash was dead on, it really does turn water into magic. This should be part of everyone’s dog supplies, no question about it. I absolutely recommend it to anyone that likes a clean antiseptic environment.
Whenever I see a dog in a little jacket or scarf, I just melt. Dogs dressed like little people are my favorite thing. The best is when someone puts a hat on their pet and it bobs when they move. Isn’t that just divine? Dog sweaters help little and hairless dogs in the cold and they are just so darn adorable.
Yesterday I saw a bulldog wearing a poofy pink jacket with a golf cap like a sporty Jackie O. I thought it was so wonderful that this lovely lady put the time and effort into her dog that she does into herself. It is so endearing. I sat and chatted awhile with her and she was very interesting.
It is important to keep our dogs safe in cars and vans while travelling. There are numerous types of dog safety harness available on the market these days.
I like to use a seatbelt type of safety harness myself. The advantage of the safety harness is that it goes around the chest and body and holds the dog to the seatbelt in case of a sudden stop or accident. Otherwise the dog could go flying forward and be injured on the dashboard, the back of the front seat, or even the windshield. Additionally, in the event of an accident where the windows are broken or a door flies open, the dog might get loose on a busy roadway and be hit by a car, whereas the safety harness keeps the dog secured inside the car until people can release the seatbelt.
I have two cats and a dog and, as you can imagine, the upkeep on my little family can get a bit expensive. Luckily I found great discount cat supplies online. There was a wonderful selection of everything that my guys need, be it a bed, feeders or shampoos. The best part is I feel like I’m really engaging with people who understand cats and dogs and not just some kid who works at a chain store who thinks that all cats are female.
