Eating their meals outside in balmy weather is fun for people and for our pets. Some of us keep our dogs out much of the day. Trouble is--the food bowls attract insects, especially ants. This Ant Proof Pet Food Tray
has a hidden water moat that insects can't cross.
The raised edge keeps the food bowls from sliding off. The tray can be used indoors or outdoors and will also protect any other food items from insects. Low maintenance and dishwasher safe.

There is news about the popular Gentle Leader Headcollars
. The collars sold from August, 2011 through this May 10, 2012 may have a defect in the quick-release neck strap buckle. The defect causes an unintended release.
Mistakes happen, but none of us want to unexpectedly be dealing with a pet on the loose. The issue has since been corrected, and the company recommends inspection for all Gentle Leader Headcollars purchased during and prior to this period. They promise to replace any that contain the defect.
For more info, click here for Premier Pet's site where they say they "take this matter seriously and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your cooperation." At Gentle Leader Headcollars.

Most of us place our dog bowls out on the kitchen floor or in raised feeding stations. But not everyone. Some pet parents, no doubt tired of kicking bowls and making messes, have created unique and decorative storage nooks.

Machines do it all these days, so why not clean up after the pets? This cordless Pooch Power Shovel
quickly suctions dog waste off of the grass, concrete, or even snow into a plastic bag.
The bag wraps around the vacuum's intake to prevent waste from touching any part of the device. The bags are disposable and hold roughly a week's worth of waste.
After a 12-hour charge using the included AC adapter, you'll get up to 50 cleanups. Handy for the elderly, disabled, infirm, or just plain lazy.

Warm weather is approaching, which means it is time for many dogs' favorite recreational activity--swimming. Treat your best buddy to a lounge on the water as comfortable as his/her favorite bed.

is made from a tough, fabric-covered inflatable 14-gauge PVC ring with a bed of heavy-duty 400 denier polyester fabric.

Now pet owners can buy for the whole family at Kmart Pharmacy. Kmart is introducing prescription pet medications at its stores and online at CPI, url: http://pets.kmart.com/.
Sounds easy and convenient, but where is proof of the Veterinary-Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites Accreditation? The customer needs to know they are purchasing drugs and devices from an online pharmacy that is properly licensed and complying with state and federal laws and regulations. We couldn't find the above seal on their site.
Two sites that do have the accreditation are PetCareRx
and 1-800-PetMeds
where you can save $5 off your order using code WEBC5 and save 5% on your order using code W5PER.

In our wild-west, deregulated economy, it is no surprise these days when products and services don't perform as advertised.
Pet owners are advised, and even harassed, to brush their pet's teeth, but who is to know what tools do an effective job?
Meaningless Plaque Promises | NewsforJax.com says consumers have to rely on themselves.
They recommend checking the package or container for the Veterinary Oral Health Council Seal (VOHC).
The VOHC authorizes the use of the VOHC Registered Seal on products intended to help retard plaque and tartar on the teeth of animals.
Click the link for the approved dental products. No surprise that Greenies are on the list.
