Lixit Quick Lock Bird Bath Installs Easily on the Cage
Our cockatiels live in a sub-tropical climate. When it rains, they lift their wings and fluff up their feathers for a bath, even though they are dry inside on the porch. We generally spritz them when they do this.
We are now looking seriously at installing this Quick Lock Bird Bath
on their cage, a durable plastic twist on/off bathing dish. It is easy to clean and can be perched inside or outside of the cage. Ideal for lovebirds, canaries, finches, parakeets, cockatiels and other small and medium sized birds.

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
.

Happy Thanksgiving -- We Learned the Hard Way
Happy Thanksgiving! Here at Super Cool Pets we are guilty of giving in to that beseeching look in those sweet brown eyes all too often and sharing our table scraps (or better!) with our pets.
We have learned the hard way that, despite what we may think, our rich Thanksgiving foods make for a long uncomfortable night for ourselves and our pets--indigestion for them and no sleep for us. They can sleep the next day, but we have to get up, even after a bad night.
So we suggest resisting the urge and feeding them a pet-appropriate Thanksgiving Day Dinner instead.

A well-trained dog is a pleasure to be around. Many, if not most, dogs want to please their human companions and will respond to positive reinforcement rather than punishment. Just break off a bit of a Natural Balance Dog Food Roll at a time to reward your pet's good behavior.
These made-in-the-USA pet food rolls provide high quality nutrition and do good things for your dog's skin and coat condition.

Catnip Is Not Just for Kitties Anymore -- Relieve Stress and Insomnia with Catnip Tea --
Many of our kitties swear by their catnip, but did you know it Is also a natural sedative and digestive aid for us? According to the tea lover site The Right Tea, catnip can help relieve your stress and anxiety as well as your cat's. It can help treat your insomnia and soothe those migraines--a natural antacid that can address colic, diarrhea, stomach cramps, and flatulence. Catnip tea contains vitamins A, B, and C, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and sodium. To brew up a cup of catnip tea:
Place 1-2 tsp of dried catnip flowers and leaves 
in a teacup and pour a cup of hot, not boiling water, and cover. Wait 10-15 minutes and sweeten with honey and lemon to mitigate the slightly-woodsy taste. If you use fresh catnip leaves, double the amount used. You can also also mix catnip leaves with chamomile or mint.
