Pudgy Pets are a Problem
Not unto themselves, of course. Our furry friends are pretty good at loving us unconditionally. However, obesity and excess weight on pets can lead to a lot of health issues, shorten their life span, and lower their quality of life while they are with us.As much fun and joy it brings to us to spoil [...]
The Mysterious Martingale
Okay, okay, its not all that mysterious, but I couldn't pass up title fodder like that.I did, however, just learn the official name for it today. I'd heard of harnesses, slip leads, and choke collars, but somehow the term 'Martingale collar' has slipped through the gaps in my learning. It's a simple enough concept, and [...]
Bundle Up Pets, Too
Humans aren't the only ones who get cold in the winter, even under all that fur, our furry friends can get quite cold, resulting in many of the same problems humans can get from exposure to cold-including hypothermia. There's several things you can do to help keep your pet cozy with the weather change. The first [...]
Bri's Weekly Top Three 12.16.16
Another week closer to the holidays, and our pets deserve a treat for always being in the holiday spirit. At least, that's how it feels when I've been working with treats all week. There's been some really nifty ones, and it might be worth springing a little bit of extra cash to reward your furry [...]
Did we really need proof?
Helen Brooks recently led a mental health study that interviewed people struggling with long-term mental illnesses. The researcher from the University of Manchester (in the UK) came to the conclusion that those who struggle with mental illness are able to manage the symptoms better when they have a pet. Most of us think that our pets [...]

Alright, so, surprisingly with the Christmas season so near, I actually worked with a fairly large variety of non-Christmas related products this week, and it looks like the pattern is going to keep up, so yay! Though next week might be a little heavy on the treat end of things.I'm a big fan of dog [...]
Bri's Weekly Top Three 12.2.16
So I didn't work exclusively with Christmas and holiday themed products this past week, so there'll be a bit of a breather. But there were some really great items regardless, and a wider variety than usual. It's getting cold and some pups need a little bit of extra warmth-or just have a great sense of [...]

This week we're talking about dog toys! There's a lot of them, and there's a huge variety. Of course, there's a lot of potential for variety, since cats and dogs toys are different since they need different types of stimulation, and even if you only made toys based on animals, there's over 50,000 species of [...]
Bri's Weekly Top Three 10.28.16
I shall bore you no more with pet costumes! At least, not for a while yet. This week I moved on to anything vaguely related to Thanksgiving, including pumpkin flavored treats, and Christmas items. It's unbelievable how quickly this month passed, and suddenly I have a craving for turkey and stuffing. It can wait, though, [...]
Adopted Out!
One of the happiest bits of news I've seen lately-a shelter in Kansas City, Missouri has adopted out 800 pets! It was actually a combined effort of three shelters, and almost all their kennels are empty after a big annual adoption event, and most of the pets remaining were on hold for other potential forever homes.
