Well, I have tried yet another new product! I don't know if you can tell by now, but I mayyy have a little bit of an addiction to buying my pets all different things!! :) All though, unfortunately she was not a fan of this one. It was the Kyjen brand slow eater maze. She already has a bowl that has a food stopper in it and she does like it, but this one I actually returned due to she would not eat out of it.…

Hello everyone! I have an exciting new product that I wanted to share with you. I just received my sample orders from Wondercide. This company is very interesting in that every product that they sell is all natural! The products I am trying are the "Evolv" Flea & Tick Control. It is natural and organic made with all natural cedar scent. I cannot wait to try this out when taking my girl on the disc golf course…

Living in the Midwest in the Summer means humid, hot days. I am always trying to find ways to cool off my bulldog. I came across this easy and delicious frozen dessert and wanted to share with everyone. I don't usually use measuring devices, I just add more of what she likes best. So you will need strawberries (or your pups favorite fruit), plain greek yogurt, peanut butter, and raw honey. Mix it all in the…

Cysts inside the eye are a common and benign problem we see in dogs and, less commonly, cats on a regular basis. The ciliary body, which produces the fluid which bathes the front part of the eye, is lined by pigmented cells. In some instances, this tissue will bud off in the process of making fluid which causes a pigmented, fluid filled structure to peek out from behind the iris. As the processs continues, this…

This lovely holiday weekend, Kyra and I were visiting my mom, and we decided to make Kyra an artist by doing paw print painting. It was so much fun and the memories will last just as long as the paintings will! I would advise anyone who wants to try this to make sure your dog is good and tired first, otherwise you will have quite a mess on your hands! Kyra is pretty lazy anyway and kept laying on the paint, so…

So it has been about a week since I have been using the AVP UV pet fountain I found on DIY Networks "I Want That". It looks very nice and the UV and LED light looks great in the dark. I am having a problem with having a foamy build up in the main part of the dish where the fountain hits the water. I read into this a little bit and came to the conclusion that I may have hard water. Last night I cleaned out the entire thing including the charcoal filter (which works amazing at taking out all…

So if there is one thing that Kyra loves as much as treats, its playing a puzzle to get to the treats! She has several of them and in another post I will talk about all of them and the ones I believe are worth the money (they are quite expensive). But I just got her a new one called the Magic Mushroom, and she does have a hard time getting the treats out, which makes it completely worth the money! I purchased this product…

After having an Animal Planet brand water fountain for about 1 year it finally broke. It was a fairly cheap item and also was the first fountain I have ever purchased for Kyra. So this time I decided I am going to purchase for quality and filtration rather than what is the cheapest. Sometimes what you buy is what you get and I am certain this holds true for doggie fountains as well. I have made a purchase and will be receiving…
