Happy Birthday -- The Party is Going to the Dogs!

Special day today here at Super Cool Pets. Our girls are turning five. Carrot cake baked in a special bone-shaped non-stick cake pan and toffee ice cream all around. No chocolate, not good for doggies. The girls get very excited when the birthday candles are lit and sing along to "Happy Birthday" before they get their cake and ice cream.

Both dogs get an Edible Crunch Card

and their own It's My Party Dog Tank Top

with a Kibble Wishes Bandana around their neck.

For snacks later, everyone receives a Happy Birthday Bark Bag filled with canine cookies, cupcakes, and suckers.

And to all the neighbors: It's their party and they'll bark if they want to!

Before Grain -- Feed Your Pets the Way Nature Intended

Are dogs and cats vegetarians by nature? I think we all know the answer to that, yet so much commercial pet food is chock full of grain.

You can feed your pets the way nature intended with Before Grain dog and cat food.

• Grain free, no fillers
• No artificial colors, flavors
• Natural preservatives
• For all life stages

Before Grain is available in many Varieties -- Dry and Canned. Yummy flavors -- tuna, salmon, chicken, beef, buffalo, quail, tripe for cats and dogs.

On this topic, food for thought from Only Natural Pet Store - Everything Natural for Dogs & Cats:

Dogs are classified as carnivores, but as a practical matter, they are omnivorous and can easily survive without meat, as long as they eat a balanced diet. Dog relatives like foxes and coyotes consume lots of fruit or other vegetation at certain times of the year. While not ideal for every dog, most dogs can be successfully converted to a vegetarian or even vegan diet, and there are several suitable commercial dog foods as well as homemade diets. If you are considering a vegetarian rather than vegan diet for your dog, a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet has more flexibility by allowing dairy products and eggs as protein sources.

Cats, however, are exclusively carnivorous by nature and by physiology. The cat's body has made many specific adaptations to its expected diet of prey, which consists mostly of protein, fat and moisture. While you may hear stories about successfully vegetarian cats (including one lion), as a veterinarian, I cannot recommend trying to make a cat exclusively vegetarian or vegan. I've just seen too many problems from it. However, one company makes a good canned food that can be helpful in reducing the amount of meat you need to feed your cat.

Brake-Fast Pet Bowl Slows Your Pet Down

One thing about pets is they usually don't exactly savor their food. If you have a pet that eats too fast, this Brake-Fast Bowlshould improve their table manners.

• Helps reduce the risk of Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus, aka Gastric Torsian or 'Bloat')
• Slower eating makes an animal feel more full and reduces instances of 're-eating'
• Veterinarian tested and recommended
• Works with kibble or canned food
• Elegant, no-tip shape
• Durable, dishwasher safe plastic
