Book Giveaway -- Bad to the Bone: Memoir of a Rebel Doggie Blogger by Bo Hoefinger
We were recently sent a free copy of Bad to the Bone: Memoir of a Rebel Doggie Blogger
which has received five star reviews. The book is written by Bo Hoefinger, a mixed-breed shelter dog who also writes Dogster.com's "For the Love of Dog" blog. The cover blurb describes it best:
Let's get this clear right away: I'm a dog. I'm 1'10" and weigh 63 lbs, and although I'm a mutt on the outside, I'm a purebred on the inside. My good nature comes from the Golden Retriever side of the family, while my stubbornness is clearly from my Chowchow bloodlines. I've got Rastafarian ears, a black tongue for licking, and paws that should be on a dog twice my size.
I type 60 words a minute.
My name is Bo, and this is my story.
From shelter dog reject to beloved pet and popular doggie blogger, Bo Hoefinger's life has been anything but ordinary. Join this incorrigible canine as he welcomes us into his life, complete with his wacky "parents," a constipated feline housemate, and chipmunk warfare.
And here's a short clip of Bo taking his canine good citizen test:
Bo's book is dedicated to "all the shelter workers, rescue groups and animal welfare proponents who make this world a better place, one animal at a time. You are unsung heroes and a true inspiration." Bo generously donates 10% of his proceeds to help homeless dogs as well as cats.
We are giving away one copy of Bad to the Bone: Memoir of a Rebel Doggie Blogger. To receive it, please email us: news@supercoolpets.com -- first come, first serve!

FURminator deShedding Tool -- Reduced 55% at Amazon
The original FURminator deShedding Tool
has spent over 1400 days in the top 100 bestsellers at Amazon. Once carrying a rather hefty price tag, it has been reduced 55% to $26.99. The Furminator Cat deShedding Tool
comes in a close second at over 1000 days in the top 100, currently reduced 46% to $18.99. Both of these popular grooming tools are eligible for free super-saver shipping.
For those unfamiliar with the FURminator, it is a innovative grooming tool for long- and short-haired dogs and cats. Its 4-inch stainless-steel edge removes loose undercoat hair quickly and easily and decreases shedding up to 90 percent for about 4 to 6 weeks, leaving a shiny and healthy topcoat. The tool has a comfortable, ergonomic grip handle.
So if you have been holding off on the FURminator due to the price, now is the time to grab one relatively affordably. We love ours here at Super Cool Pets!

Relieve Pet Thunderstorm Anxiety this Summer
Many pets live in areas that experience strong summer storms along with the steamy summer weather. And next thing you know, your pet has slinked away to a dark closet, under the bed or table, panting heavily and trembling. Pet reactions range from mild to phobic and can definitely keep the household awake in the early morning hours.
Our hearts go out to our panicked pets -- what to do? There are many approaches to anxiety relief and effectiveness generally depends upon your individual pet.
Here at Super Cool Pets we have never bought into the advice that comforting a frightened pet actually intensifies their phobia. Glad to see that the well-respected, kindly dog trainer, veterinarian and author
Patricia McConnell agrees in her excellent article on the subject over at The Bark:
On the contrary, it's just not possible that petting your dog is going to make her more fearful the next time there's a storm. Warnings that you'll ruin your dog by comforting her are reminiscent of the advice from the 1930s and '40s to avoid comforting frightened children by picking them up. That perspective was tossed out long ago by psychologists, when research made it clear that having parents they can count on when life gets scary creates bold, stable children, not dependent or fearful ones.
She suggests "classical counter-conditioning (CCC). CCC can be a profoundly effective way to change behavior, because it changes the emotions that drive the behavior in the first place. A typical example in applied animal behavior is having visitors throw treats to a dog who is afraid of strangers."
More ideas and effective product links can be found in previous Super Cool Pets posts -- June 3, 2009 and August 6, 2007 among others.

"If you share your life with pets who are truly your best friends or family, you must read Doug Koktavy's book. You'll relate to his life with his beloved Beezer and Boomer in a thousand ways. And your life will be richer from having met them." --Laurel Lagoni, president and CEO, World by the Tail, Inc.
