Finding the Right Pet: Dog Edition
Most of us classify ourselves as 'cat' people or 'dog' people, and there's a good reason for that. Cats and dogs have distinct personalities that are very lovable. They're affectionate, loving, and provide us with a source of companionship that we just can't imitate in human interaction. But they are a big responsibility. Even if [...]
Traveling with Pets
Travelling with pets can be a hassle, and some cities can be better than others for traveling with pets. There's hotels and dog parks and access to emergency vets that you all have to consider. And sometimes you need to worry about flying, too. None of that is particularly fun, but traveling itself is, and [...]
Bri's Weekly Top Three 4.28.2017
Saw some Puppy Bumpers this week. Adorable, cute, and a great idea for keeping the little ones safe. The whole idea behind the product is specifically for those who own pups in apartments with balconies. You want to let them outside for the fresh air, but you don't want them to slip through the bars and [...]
Bri's Weekly Top Three from 4.21.17
Ever thought to combine art, fish, and pet toys? No? Don't worry, I didn't either. Which is why it stuck out when I was working with it last week. This is a catnip toy from Yeowww! (still one of the most humorous company names I've heard to date) that's a pollock designed to resemble a Pollock. [...]
Bri's Weekly Top Three 4.14.17
I love it when practical things can go with the decor. You can't get around the fact that if you have a pet, you need an eating and drinking bowl. But when I lived in my previous apartment my roommate had a cat. Their dishes were cute, but the cat would keep pulling them out [...]
Fur Babies
The utter devotion to pets and mentality that they are as much a part of a household as its human occupants is a ideology that permeates throughout Western culture and has grown in the past several years. In 2000 American pet owners spent $17.8 billion on their pets, but by 2014 that number nearly doubled [...]
Bri's Weekly Top Three 3.10.17
The inadvertent theme of the week is toys! I have a lot of them to share this week, and from big names too. We've got KONG, Fluff & Tuff, as well as Omega Paw (which was a new one for me, I hadn't worked with their products much yet, they have some neat products). Since I [...]
Bri's Weekly Top Three 3.3.2017
Looks like all the Midlee products are wrapped up for the time being, so this week is a scattering of different products from different brands. There's even a cat toy, which I never feel like I mention enough. Nothing's cuter than a kitten and they deserve some nifty things too. To make of for the [...]
Service Animals and the Importance of Not Faking It
I know how nice it would be if we could bring our pets everywhere we go, but there's generally good reasons for not allowing pets in certain areas. It can be a food safety hazard at restaurants, buildings don't want to clean up after a poorly trained pet, and so on. Service animals are given [...]
Keeping your Canine's Canines Clean
We'll continue the theme of dentistry as it's still February and therefore National Pet Dental Health Month. As much as things like dry food, daily bones or rawhide, and well-loved rope toys can help with your pet's dental health, brushing their teeth is still the most effective way to keep their pearly whites white and disease-free.
