Pet Zoom Pet Park Is Back! Indoor Potty Prevents Accidents
We are happy to announce the return of the PetZoom Pet Park, an indoor potty for dogs so you can avoid those indoor accidents on days you stay late at the office, or for those times you don’t want to take your dog out in rotten weather. I have written in this blog before about my dog “G,” and we sure could have used a Pet Zoom Pet Park when we first got her!
G was only six weeks old when I got her, which is very young to be separated from her mother but we had no choice – mom was moving away and her babies had to stay. In her case, I think that is why she is a bit high strung and has some separation anxiety, on top of being an excitable puppy. Predictably, when I got her back to my cute girly apartment (with a white carpet), she proceeded to pee all over it. Have you ever tried to get dog pee out of a white rug? I hope you never have to. That’s why I think the Pet Zoom Pet Park Indoor Pet Potty is such an intriguing product. It eliminates (ha, no pun intended) those indoor accidents and seems like it could be a great tool in housebreaking new puppies. It also states on the website that it is good for older and special needs dogs who may not be able to get outside in time.
As stated earlier, we didn’t have a PetZoom for G – they didn’t make them 12 years ago! – so she wound up going to live with my then-boyfriend, now-husband, because he had hardwood floors. Not that pee was so great for wood floors, but it was a lot easier to clean up! How lucky are you modern puppy owners that you can try the Pet-Zoom?
It actually has a contemporary, modern type of look, like a larger version of those little pots of grass people use as centerpieces. It is made of an antimicrobial, synthetic grass that sits atop a grid, which rests over a tray. The tiered design holds up to a gallon of liquid and you just dump it at the end of the day and rinse off the “grass.” Simple as that! Right now it even comes with a free Pet Zoom Nail Trimmer ($20 value) for additional shipping and handling.
Right now the Pet Zoom Pet Park and free Nail Trimmer are available for $29.95 plus shipping and handling (extra s&h for the nail trimmer), just in time for the holidays. Similar products sell for over $300!
Snuggie for Dogs Keeps Your Dog Cozy and Warm
Snuggie for Dogs has to be the cutest As Seen on TV product I have ever come across, and I have this YouTube video to prove it! My friend’s stepmom lives in Indiana where it gets to be pretty cold, so she bought a SnuggieforDogs for her adorable Chihuahua Kobi for Christmas. Look at Kobi in her pretty pink Snuggie for Dogs! Look at all the kisses she is giving out, how cute is that?
Snuggie for Dogs comes in two colors, pink and blue, and four sizes – Large, Medium, Small and Extra Small for even the tiniest dogs. Made of ultra-soft machine-washable fleece, pets love the Snuggie-Dog indoors and out – while they cuddle up to take a nap or for a fun walk outside in the chilly air. Don’t try to wrestle with getting a tight pet sweater forced over your dog’s head and legs, SnuggieDog attaches at the neck with Velcro for a simple and secure fit.
When you order SnuggieDog you also receive a recordable dog tag for your pet absolutely free. You can record up to ten seconds of a message with your pet’s information (name, health conditions, allergies, etc.), and how and where to return him/her to you. Make sure your beloved pet returns to you safely each and every day. As another added bonus, right now Snuggie for Dogs has a buy one get one free offer going on, just pay shipping and handling – you get a recordable dog tag with each Snuggie-Dog ordered.
I might have to get one for my dog G since she loves snuggling under the covers all day; I’m thinking that with a SnuggieDog she could just walk around wearing one – Snuggie for Dogs, the “blanket with sleeves,” now for your dog!
PediPaws Pet Nail Trimmer Is Another Way to Save Money
This is the story of how PediPaws managed to save us almost $500 a year and helped us to get more involved in the care of our pets. I am always looking for ways to save money, as I am sure everyone is these days, but one area I will not cut corners in is the health and care of our animals.
One of our pets in particular is a special case – she is a twelve year old mixed breed named G, and she has a weakened immune system due to Cushing’s disease. Her medication and vet visits are expensive, along with her specialized diet, but we would never dream of not giving her everything she needs. Up until recently, that included getting her professionally groomed.
Lately though, since she has gotten older, her immune system has gotten weaker and it has been harder for her to fight even simple infections, which means she can’t really be around most other dogs. Case in point, the last time I took her to the groomer she contracted pyoderma, a bacterial skin condition, and she is still fighting it off so right now I can’t take her out anywhere.
I have no problem bathing and grooming her at home, she has pretty short hair, but I can NOT cut my dog’s nails. Those pet nail clippers you have to use look like a torture device; I can’t use them at all. My husband has been able to trim her nails once or twice, but the last time he tried he cut her too close to the quick and she really yelped in pain – there was actually some bleeding; he couldn’t do it again after that. We needed some kind of pain-free nail trimmer. That’s when I saw a commercial for Pedi-Paws and decided to give it a try.
Pedi Paws is a battery-operated spinning emery band that gently files nails instead of cutting them, and it costs about $20 plus shipping and handling – cheaper than one visit to the pet groomer. When it arrived we decided to try it immediately.
So, G is pretty hyper due to her condition, which causes increased adrenaline, but she was not at all nervous around the PediPaw – it emits a low buzzing sound, like an electric toothbrush. I was able to trim her nails by myself; she just sat in my arms and let me do each paw. If you have a larger dog or a very nervous dog it might be easier with two people, but I had no trouble with my 50lb dog. In fact, I know she was much happier having me do it, so for her it was way better than going to the dog groomer, and it is definitely less worrisome for me. As a bonus, at $40 a month, we figure Pedi Paws pet nail trimmer saves us almost $500/year. Not bad for an As Seen on TV product!
