Last week, I was sent a dog harness from My Pets America to try out and review. The harness is available in medium and large sizes and is made from durable light-weight polyester. It also comes with a 78 inch leash as well. Tank, our aptly named boxer, is a little over 4 months old and growing very quickly. He’s hyper still, which makes it hard to control him when he’s out. Neck collars just aren’t enough for him at times. We had been looking for a good harness for him, so this was much needed. I had the choice between getting medium or large. While the medium would fit him now, in another few weeks it would be too small, so I went with the large. It is still big on him, but not overly so. He can wear it; it’s just really loose…but not enough for him to get out of. I think that the best feature of the harness is the handle. With it you can either keep a firm hold on your dog, or secure him in the car with a seat belt. He likes to jump up on people, like the UPS man ...

Product Review – Pet Nail Grinder
A few days ago, I was sent a Pet Nail Grinder from Lifepul. The grinder is battery operated (2 AA not included) and has a metal diamond-bit grinder. It can be used on both dogs and cats, and is designed to not make a lot of noise. My mom’s puppy Tank, a boxer, has nails that grow super-fast & he had no idea as of yet how much they hurt when he paws at us. He’s pretty active so it’s difficult to get him to stay still for long. On advice from the vet, we were trying to use a regular nail file on his nails to get him used to the idea of getting them trimmed. That worked to a point, and we more often than not ended up with partly nibbled emery boards. I had a nail grinder several years ago when they first came out on infomercials. That particular model was huge (looked like a lightsaber handle) and sounded like a buzzsaw at its quietist. Needless to say, the dogs didn’t like it. This nail grinder is different tough. It’s very compact and easily fits in your hand. It has ...
Pork Chomps Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
A month ago, I was sent a huge box of Pork Chomps Dog Chews. Pork Chomps dog chews contain no rawhide, so they are healthier for your pets since they are 99% digestible. All of the chews I received for sized for small dogs. I’ve seen Pork Chomps at places like PetSmart in the past but have never picked them up for our dogs before. I was sent a large variety of chews: Bacon Flavor Mini Twist, Baked Stripz, Baked Bones, Premium Sweet Potato Wrapped Sticks, Premium Bacon Flavored Twists, and Premium Sweet Potato Wrapped Bones. I received two of everything, so it was a loaded box. The box arrived while I was on vacation & I opened it once I was back. For the past month my dogs, Tobi & Brownie, have been getting treats with their food and when we are outside (haven’t been out too much here lately due to the heat). So far, they haven’t turned down a single treat. They really like the bacon twists and the sweet potato bones. All the bags are a fairly good size, so we’ve ...
Product Review – Cesar Cookie Crunchies Treats for Small Dogs
Two weeks ago, I received a few bags of the new Cesar Cookie Crunchies dog treats. Cookie Crunchies are baked, bite-sized treats that are only 10-calories. They come in two flavors: fillet mignon and rotisserie chicken. We love our two dogs and consider members of our family. When they aren’t chasing opossums or squirrels around, they are supper affectionate and excellent guard dogs. We always make sure to give them healthy food and the best dog treats that we can find. They usually tend to be a bit picky about food, so I wasn’t too sure if they were going to like the dog biscuits or not. However, they went crazy over them. I ended up have to bring them out more since Brownie ate up most of the first ones before Tobi was able to get to them. Out of the two flavors, they seem to like the fillet mignon the best. The best part is that the treats are small and just the perfect size for them. Overall, the Cookie Crunchies are a huge hit. I’m definitely going to get ...
Product Review – Hill’s Science Diet Ideal Balance Dog Food
When I received my sample bag of Hill's Science Diet Ideal Balance dog food, I was excited. The all natural dog food claims to be able to improve the overall health of your pets, including mobility and coat & skin. There was a bit of a noticable difference, but not enough to justify the cost of the food. The sample I received was a 4lb bag Ideal Balance™ Adult Chicken & Brown Rice Dinner. It's geared toward helping overall health, digestion, the immune system, weight and the skin & coat. We followed the 'feeding guide' on the website and slowly switched them over to the new food . . . giving them the same amount as they always got with their old food. I kept a careful eye on them to see it there was any change. I noticed right away that it didn't seem all that filling to them. They were still hungry after eating, which, with those two, is never a good thing. They caused all sorts of ruckus outside until we started giving them extra food. In the end, they were ...
