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.

Flaxy Dog Milled Flax -- Help Your Pet (and Yourself) Be Healthy
Flax--not just for people anymore. Our pets' diets, like ours, are way high in omega-6 and way low in the omega-3 fatty acids. Studies have found that omega-3 fatty acids increase immune function, brain health and help protect against certain prevalent cancers in ourselves and our pets. A diet high in omega-3 fatty acids promotes healthier joints, skin, and heart, as well as a shiny coat, increased energy, faster healing and allergy relief for both dogs and cats.
Flaxy Dog Milled Flax
is 100% real cold milled flax (cold milling chops the seed without heating the mill blades, preserving the valuable fatty acids) and is an excellent source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. Early every morning, all our super cool pets inhale a heaping tablespoon of milled flax in their meal along with Cosequin DS Double Strength Chewable Tablets for Dogs
and Nutramax Cosequin Sprinkle Capsules for Cats
.
Note: Whole flax seed must be ground to digest properly. Store the milled flax in a dry, cool spot and it should be good to go for 12 to 18 months. And as always, double-check with your vet and doctor as we do not have MD after our names in any form or fashion.
