Review: Carpet CPR Pet Stain and Odor Remover
Super Cool Pets headquarters is generally a little disheveled with so many pets milling around. We recommend hard floor surfaces for pet households rather than carpet. But since most of us do have some rugs around in any case, daily maintenance is a must to stay even remotely presentable.
Thus we happily accepted a sample spray bottle Carpet CPR Spot & Stain Remover
for review from LA-based Leather CPR. Carpet CPR is a spray that needs to penetrate the dirt on your carpet for about 3-5 minutes.
We treated a stain (so many spots, so little time), let it soak in and cleaned it up with a neutral cloth. The dirt was absorbed and removed, leaving a clean fresh smell.
Carpet CPR is also great for red wine, food stains, fruit juice, dirt, grease, coffee/tea, lipstick, ink, as well as pet stains. Spray carpet cleaners make effective laundry stain pre-treatment as well.

Musical Jukebox Toy Entertains Indoor Pet Birds
We recently added a new baby cockatiel to the Super Cool Pets team and have been scouting around for fun bird toys to make her feel at home. This Musical Jukebox Toy
should entertain and stimulate our new bird, as well as her older companion.
This toy has an easy-press button that allows your bird to activate the music thousands of times. Birds love listening to music, so this can be an excellent source of entertainment when people are not around or otherwise occupied. It's even tough enough for Amazons and African Greys.

Amazon Hot New Pet Film Release -- Hachi: A Dog's Tale
Get your tissue box ready. Based on a true story from 1930's Japan, Hachi: A Dog's Tale
, is a new film about pet love and loyalty. Part of this movie is viewed from the dog's perspective. It is directed by Academy Award-nominated director Lasse Hallström (2000, The Cider House Rules).
A college music professor Parker Wilson, played by Richard Gere, finds a young Akita puppy abandoned at the local train station. He has a strong sense of town and community and assumes the dog's owner will return to the train station to claim him in the morning. Parker takes the puppy home overnight, but when no one comes to get the dog, Parker convinces his reluctant wife, Cate (Joan Allen), to adopt the pup into their family. He names the puppy Hachiko--Hachi, for short--because of the Japanese symbol for good luck that's hanging from his collar.

Amazon Hot New Pet Book Release -- Chow Hounds: Why Our Dogs Are Getting Fatter - A Vet's Plan to Save Their Lives
Think your pooch looks a little round? Over half of our pets are too heavy. Most of us are apparently overfeeding our dogs by 25 percent every day. A new book Chow Hounds: Why Our Dogs Are Getting Fatter - A Vet's Plan to Save Their Lives
by Dr. Ernest Ward, DVM, founder of the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, is filled with fascinating information and of course, weight-loss techniques and healthy tips. He tells us that many pet foods (like human ones) are chock full of addictive sugar and fat and are too high in carbs.
The slender author, affectionately known as "Dr. Ernie," is a practicing veterinarian who appears regularly on the Rachael Ray Show, and has been featured on Animal Planet, NBC Nightly News, the Today Show and CNN. He has authored and contributed to over fifty-five veterinary journal articles in North America, England, Canada, Japan, and China, and has published three books and three veterinary training videos. Sounds like an expert!

Pledge Fabric Sweeper for Pet Hair -- Don't Toss, May Be Reusable
Pledge Fabric Sweeper for Pet Hair
is a nifty little product for picking up rampant shed fur, so we don't have to waste precious time vacuuming the furniture.
However, the manufacturer's instructions are to toss when through--wasteful and needlessly expensive. The hair collection container is held in place with pins, making it difficult to remove. Over at Consumerist a reader Jim came up with a solution:
Paying no heed to the package's warnings to "not try to empty or disassemble disposable sweeper", Jim found that, "if you hold the sweeper vertically and apply gentle, but firm, pressure to one of the rollers, it will pop out of its holder. You can then empty the catcher, carefully replace the roller and the sweeper will work like new!"
This trick is also reported in the Pledge Fabric Sweeper for Pet Hair reviews.
