Order Pet Food Home Delivery Online -- WSJ Compares Services
Buying dog food is no longer as simple as grabbing a bag at the grocery store. There are scores, if not hundreds, of different brands available claiming to address every conceivable need a doggy may have.
Many of us make a separate trip to our neighborhood PetSmart
or Petco
for the special brand we prefer. But maybe you find yourself tired of lugging 35-pound bags of kibble in from the car? Or live in a city apartment?
Perhaps home delivery would suit your lifestyle. We all know the good people at the Wall Street Journal insist on getting a bang for their buck. A Dog's New Best Friend: The Delivery Man | WSJ.com tested four services that ship pet food to the home: PetFlow, Mr. Chewy, Wag.com and Pet Food Direct
.

Fleece Dog Jacket Beats the Cold
As we write this, ole man winter is blowing through northern regions of the US. No matter what the weather conditions, our pets must brave the raw outdoors to do their business (unless of course they enjoy the luxury of an indoor potty
).
We are all about fleece this year for staying warm and cozy. This sharp-looking Fleece Dog Jacket is sort of a horse blanket for dogs. It goes on quickly, using only two hook-and-loop fasteners on the chest and belly for a snug, comfortable fit.

Better Than Tomato Juice Skunk Rinse Recipe
A few years ago, our sweet Golden returned from a romp in the yard reeking of skunk spray. Stressful enough, but we also had family visiting with little children. We deployed the traditional treatment of tomato juice, but Dr. Karen Becker claims it isn't nearly as effective as this easy recipe.
If skunks are hibernating where you are, you have plenty of time to stock up on the ingredients. Bookmark this post for quick access when it warms up in the spring, and they are out poking around for beetles.
Skunk Rinse Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 quart hydrogen peroxide
-- 3% first aid antiseptic solution
• ¼ cup baking soda 
• 2 teaspoons Dawn dishwashing liquid
If you have a larger breed dog like we do, you may need to double, triple or even quadruple the mixture depending on how much territory you need to cover.
Method:
Hydrogen peroxide is a mild bleaching agent, so wear old work clothes. You may also want to wear rubber gloves
.
Mix up in a bucket and apply the solution to your pet's dry coat. Start from the collar and move back toward the tail. Keep it away from your pet's eyes because the hydrogen peroxide solution can burn them. After the dog has been bathed in this solution rinse him/her down with the hose.

Chuckit! Indoor Launcher Cures Canine Cabin Fever
Yesterday we addressed cabin fever for our cat, but our dogs have become stir crazy as well, though they are good girls. Always begging for food, nothing else to do. With obvious caveats, we have decided to enjoy the benefit of no-slobber, hands-free play and bring our Chuckit! fetch game indoors.
This Chuckit! Indoor Launcher
is perfect for when it's too cold, too wet, or you just want to hang out inside with your best pal.
