New! Keep Track of Dog Chores with Dog-e-Minder Dog Tag
Has anyone walked the dog? Can't remember when you last gave meds? The dog acts like it's time to be fed, but then that's how the dog always acts.
Having trouble coordinating doggy chores with other family members or dog-sitters? The new Dog-e-Minder will help everyone keep track via a simple 3 button design. When you walk, feed or give meds to your pet, you record the task in the gadget by holding down the button. To see when the chore was last performed, just press the button.
When idle, the Dog-e-Minder doubles as a dog identification tag, displaying important pet name and owner contact information. In 4 fun colors. Buy one, get one free.

JetCare Anti-Bark Water Spray Collar
If you would like to improve your pet's behavior without using shock or citronella spray collars, this new (to the US and Canada) cold air spray anti-bark training collar should cause no pain or distress.
When your dog misbehaves, the cold air spray in the anti-bark spray collar is directed towards the neck, to surprise your dog. The goal is to interrupt the behavior, so you can then re-direct your dog's attention to another appropriate activity.
As recommended on the site WagandBark, optimally you can train your dog without fear and pain. Try to follow up with positive reinforcement and rewards such as playtime and/or small treats such as bits of kibble.

Automatic Dog and Cat Fountains: Bridgeport Onyx Waterer and Dog It Fresh and Clear Large Dog Fountain
Are your pets drinking from gucky, warm water? Is the bowl always empty? These two attractive automatic waterers are suitable for households with one or more pets.
Both have an elevated drinking basin to help keep guzzlers from guzzling, while smaller dogs and cats can drink from below. The re-circulating flow eliminates stale, stagnant water filled with dirt and hair.
This ceramic Bridgeport Onyx Waterer Fountain
above is stylish and will keep your pets' water cool. The water cascades over the middle dome and spills into the asymmetric bowl. The fountain has gently sloping sides to allow your dog or cat easy access.
The Dog It Fresh and Clear Large Pet Fountain
is, despite its name, also suitable for cats and dogs. The integrated splashguard reduces water slobber on the floor as your pet drinks from the basin.

Dog Collar Bottle Opener
Upon arrival at a holiday party the other day, our host offered us a bottled beer, then searched high and low for an opener. None to be found, although we did get a fun tour of his remodeled 1901 waterfront home.
However we did know where the dog was--snuffling up the appetizers. Now if the dog had been wearing "the world's best dog collar", we would have had a bottle opener right there at our fingertips. The Best Dog Collar Bottle Opener is a retractable bottle opener and dog collar in one.
