Friday Fetch: M&J Dog Essentials Grooming Products

Posted on August 24, 2012 by Ammo

Ok I admit it, bath time isn’t my number one favorite thing to do. But I do very much enjoy the after bath cookies! Regardless of the fact that I’d rather be rolling in the mud than in a tub, I can totally appreciate the pampering products from M&J Dog Essentials.

M&J Essentials is based in Chicago and contains all-natural ingredients and fragrances that are free of sulfates, parabens and other potentially harmful chemicals.

The only thing that would make this product better…..if their logo had dachshunds on it instead! But I won’t hold it against them.

Friday Fetch: Beer for Dogs

Posted on August 17, 2012 by Ammo

Ok, now I know what you’re thinking – beer for dogs….not such a great idea. And I completely agree, while I don’t condone canine drinking of any kind, this is Bowser Beer for Dogs!

Technically it’s not really beer and is instead made with:

USDA beef or chicken.
Malt barley (full of B-vitamins) –just like in your beer.
Glucosamine for joint health.

And you don’t have to worry because Bowser Beer DOES NOT CONTAIN:

Alcohol or carbonation.
Hops,which can be toxic to dogs.
Commercial broth,which contains loads of salt, fat, MSG, onions and meat of unknown origin.

So basically it’s just a dog friendly drink packaged to look like a case of beer. Which looks like it would totally be a blast in a glass (name that tv show)! Bowser Beer also sells Liver Pretzels – the perfect combination with a case of dog friendly beer. You can also order custom labels with your dogs photo on the front great for their 21st (or would that be 7th) birthday!

Friday Fetch: Pet Pillows

Posted on August 3, 2012 by Ammo

After spotting a DIY Pet Pillow on one of my favorite blogs, Yellow Brick Home, a few months ago – I figured there had to be a pet pillow out there for the non-diyers out there. Well as luck would have it, I stumbled across a custom silkscreened pet pillow from Broderpress on Etsy.

Friday Fetch: Pet First Aid Kits

Posted on July 13, 2012 by Ammo

This week I got stung by a bee! I know the horror! My mom noticed pretty quickly that I had been stung because I stopped barking at a deer in my backyard to lick my leg. After a few minutes my leg started to swell a bit – and then about an hour later I started to get some swelling under my eye and on my nose. So at 9:30pm my dad rushed off to the pharmacy to get me some benedryl, and after eating 1/2 a tablet and sleeping it off, I woke up in the morning feeling much better.

After my little bee sting incident it got me thinking about being safe – and keeping a pet first aid kit with me in the car and at home just in case anything were to happen.

So I decided to do a little Friday Fetch round-up today of some of my favorite pet first aid kits out there.

Friday Fetch: Fugly Friends Pet Toys

Posted on June 29, 2012 by Ammo

I’m the kind of dog with a LOT of personality some may even consider me a bit quirky. After all, I do like to dig holes wearing a Super Hero Cape.

So when I stumbled across Fugly Friends on Etsy I thought, oh yes, this has my name all over it. Makers of durable and quirky pet toys handcrafted with oodles of love for all play styles, these unique toys are full of personality.

With a range of styles from stuffed to unstuffed, squeaky or not, some of them even come with secret hidden fortunes inside.

Friday Fetch: Life Vests for Dogs

Posted on June 22, 2012 by Ammo

Now that the hot hot Summer has officially started I’ve been thinking about taking more trips to my local lake. Up until now I’ve never worn a doggie flotation device – not for lack of wanting to – but because I did not have direct access to a credit card (ahem…mom).

But have no fear! Mom ordered me my very own life vest just the other day, and while I wait for my new purchase to arrive in the mail I figured I’d share a round-up of some of the Pet Life Vests that are on the market currently.

I ended up ordering the Kyjen Outward Hound Life Jacket from Amazon because it included an extra flotation device on the front to keep tired puppy heads above the water. I’ll be sure to post a full review on the product once it arrives on my doorstep next week! (above link contains affiliate links to my Amazon shop)

Now here’s a round-up of a few more life vests for dogs that I thought looked just as swim worthy as the one that ended up in my cart.

Summer is here and the hot hot days in Pennsylvania are just around the corner for me. Being the farm dog that I am I enjoy spending most of my time outside, but when the mid-day heat really gets blazing I find myself looking for the coolest place to get out of the sun.

That’s why when I came across ChillSpot I knew they had come up with a great product to help dogs like me beat the Summer heat.
