With all the yummy smells and fun people around to play with, managing your pets at Thanksgiving can be a challenge. Here are 7 Tips for a Dog Wonderful Thanksgiving! by Cesar Millan.
Turkey Skin - High-fat foods, such as turkey skin, can be hazardous to your dog. Since the skin is hard to digest, it can lead to pancreatitis. If you still want to share your bird, give your dog a small piece of white meat.
Turkey Bones - Cooked poultry bones are brittle and splinter easily. If ingested, they can lodge in the esophagus or cause stomach or intestinal irritation.
Xylitol - This sweetener is present in products from gum to sugar-free cookies. Even in small amounts, ingestion can cause low blood sugar, seizures, liver failure, and death.
Grapes and Raisins - These common snacks can induce permanent and life-threatening kidney failure in some dogs. Though some pets seem to handle eating grapes just fine, it's safest to avoid grapes and raisins completely.
Chocolate - Most pet owners are aware of chocolate's danger, but with the recent popularity of dark chocolates -- which contain higher doses of toxic cocoa -- it's more important than ever to be vigilant about chocolate consumption. Ingestion can cause abnormal heartbeats, kidney failure, and death.
Onions - High levels of onion ingestion in dogs and cats can cause life-threatening anemia. Be aware of food at your table -- such as stuffing or casseroles -- that may contain this dangerous ingredient.
Here is just the gift for our puppies--huge soft toys for playing, snuggling or sleeping. Oversized, holiday-themed Colossal Grunters can be prodded and pushed by most any pet. Features a grunter in the stomach and a squeaker in each limb and nose.
Styles: Bear, Moose, Tortoise ,Gorilla , or Gingerbread Man.

This award-winning cat toy won Cat Fancy magazine's editor's choice award and Best New Product at the Global Pet Expo.

PetScoop: Home Test for Melamine Pet Food Contamination in the Works
Christie Keith at Pet Connection reports that a home testing kit has been developed for the pet food contaminate melamine:
If the FDA won't test food imports for melamine contamination, should we start doing it ourselves?
Joy Drawdy, owner of Gainesville's Earth Pets Natural Pet Market, thinks so, and so she developed a home melamine test kit:
"Pet owners should have a way to test their food at home. People coming into Earth Pets kept saying something like this was needed. I started trying to find one, but none existed," Drawdy said. "In the past year, using my knowledge of pet food manufacturing and contaminant testing, I developed one. I have it patented and it's done. I just need to get it marketed."
Projected availability for this test is late spring 2009.

Mid-November update on seasonal sales and discounts from some of our favorite super cool pet shops--please read closely because some are new and some are ongoing.
Litter-Garage -- Litter Stays Outside and Your Cat Stays Inside
We are intrigued by the Litter-Garage™ system. It provides a means to keep litter box odor and dust outside, while your kitty cat stays inside, and your house stays clean.
The Litter-Garage™ installs easily* on a common wall between your house and garage. Your cat travels back and forth to the covered litter box in the garage through a cat door and connecting chute. All cleaning, disposal and replacement of litter happens outside the house in the garage. The sloped chute reduces tracked-in litter.
The Litter-Garage™ is a clever solution to the problems of the litter box and litter dust in the house. As an added benefit, it keeps litter safely away from your other household pets, toddlers and pregnant women. Accommodates cats up to 15 lbs.
* Easy to install--only 3 simple parts to install. The site claims average installation time is one hour. Plus free shipping!

If the jingling of pet tags sometimes drives your household nuts, these Quiet Spot™ Pet Tag Silencers are a good stocking stuffer gift. They eliminate common complaints most people have with pet tags:
Tag Noise--light sleepers, homes with sleeping babies, joggers, hunters, home office workers

SNIFTag -- Pet Monitoring and Social Networking Device
Many pet owners wonder what their pets are up to when they are not around. In a post earlier this fall, Super Cool Pets featured the Panasonic Network Camera and Pet Cam, which allows you to monitor your pet's activities via the web when you are off-prem.
In a similar, but different vein, the SNIFTag is a new product from a Boston-based company founded by a group of MIT Media Laboratory graduates. This device also allows you to monitor your dog's activity while you're away. It attaches to your dog's collar and records your pet's activities and interactions with other people and pets. The data is uploaded to the company's website where the pet owner can log in and see what their pup has been up to.
The SNIFTag senses proximity to other SNIF devices using low-power wireless technology. It is not a tracking device--for that, a GPS Dog Tracking System is required.
The SNIFTag was also designed as a social networking tool for pet owners. The goal is to create a community to keep in touch with your pet's friends, to meet and befriend other pet owners, and share helpful information and pet tips online.
SNIFTag will retail for $299, but you can grab it now for an introductory price of $199 under November 24th. The Starter Kit includes: 1 SNIF® Tag, 1 SNIF® Base Station, 2 additional rims, 2 additional faceplates, 1 SNIF® Tag Key, 1 small collar clasp, 1 medium collar clasp, 1 A/C power adapter, 1 Ethernet cable, 1 USB cable, 1 instruction manual.
Effectively remove dirt and pet hair from your upholstery, your floors and on the stairs with its flex nozzle. The unit also comes equipped with a hard nozzle for cleaning dry messes or the inside of your pet's favorite vehicle.
For the Star Wars obsessed, here is another way to get your daily fix. The R2D2 Aquarium holds a 1 3/4-gallon aquarium tank in his belly, about the right size for a few goldfish, gouramis, or tetras. His domed head rotates in response to verbal commands, and he utters his familiar "bleeps" from the Star Wars® movies. The radar eye contains a built-in periscope that provides a close-up view of your fish. Certainly a conversation piece.
'Tis the season! The names of our pets are on our holiday gift list, along with other members of the family and good friends.
As pet lovers know, there is an overwhelming amount of super cool pet gear available to "chews" from. We have been sniffing around the Net for our pets and the people they love, so we can find exactly what we want without putting so much as a paw outdoors.

There is speculation that the new "first dog" in President-elect Barack Obama's White House will be a Goldendoodle, a cute, fluffy crossbreed between Super Cool Pets' fave the Golden Retriever and a Poodle.

Tokyo-based Genesys World is now selling a small Qulio Fish Tank [Japanese] specifically designed to view and breed Clionidae, a family of small floating sea slugs, also known as sea angels. They are shaped a little like angels, and have flapping "wings".
Breeding of these exquisite Clionidae is difficult, and until now this beautiful sea life could only be seen in special facilities such as aquariums. The Qulio Fish Tank replicates the ocean conditions in which sea angels breed and thrive.

Bored cats are unhappy cats and are prone to stress-related behavior problems. Indoor-only cats have a special need for stimulating activities that will keep them mentally and physically fit. When you are not home or otherwise occupied, your smart cat needs suitable toys for solo play.
Beat those kitty blahs with a SmartCat™ Peek-a-Prize Toy Box. It is made of sturdy wood construction with a cat-friendly design to provide your cat with hours of fun. Since cats are natural predators, they love to hunt. The SmartCat™ Peek-a-Prize Toy Box allows cats to "capture" their toys by fishing them out of strategically placed access holes.
SmartCat™ Peek-a-Prize Toy Box includes a free toy--2 balls. For food-motivated cats, drop kitty treats into the toy box for your cat to retrieve and eat. Optional toys are available--Jo Jingles and Eddie Eraser™.
Don't forget to keep safety in mind when selecting toys to use with this toy box. If the toy is one you would not give to a child that is 3 years of age or younger, don't give it to your cat!
