It's must haves time once again. Now I may be jumping the gun here, but Happy Spring! To kick off the season, I've selected some of my favorite products – from sacks to snacks, check them out in this slideshow!
Because I clearly can't say it enough, riding in a car with unsecured pets is dangerous for both of you! I've shared my love for North's carseat, but this clip takes it one step further, explaining some of the risks of tackling the open road with free-roaming pups.
I'd like to add that airbags can severely injure dogs riding shotgun, so please, please, please think twice before allowing a pup to ride in the front seat (or, worse yet, on your lap). Although I don't know the exact details, I do know that cutie pie Ruby lost her legs in a car accident (before she was rescued). Now it's time to 'fess up – when your pet goes bye-bye in the car, how does he travel?
I'm filled with warm fuzzies whenever I catch the (rare) glimpse of Poppy and Ruby! Sandra Bullock adopted the three-legged Poppy back in 2005 and later added Ruby to her family with Jesse James. Although Ruby is sometimes seen with her very own doggie wheelchair, hopping on her two back legs, or rolling in a Rio Petote, Sandra opts to cuddle her disabled pooch close when they left their NYC apt last Friday. I don't know about you, but I love it when celebrities choose to add rescues to their families — Sandra seems to realize she has a lot of love and energy to give these pets that other families may pass by!
One of my favorite holidays is Thanksgiving – with the indulging and feasting on sweet potatoes, spinach, cranberries, yams, and . . . excuse me while I drool! Since we know that some kinds of people food can be dangerous, Honest Kitchen has come to rescue us from the guilt of eating yum yums in front of a pet – and confusion over what can be shared – by including those delish items (and others) in their special line! Honest Kitchen's line of pet food is filled with 100 percent of the appropriate human grade goods (minus any wheat, soy, or corn to keep digestive systems healthy), which means that you won't wonder what is going into the chubby belly of your fave pet. It's all whole food, all the time, just dehydrated. Fans of Honest Kitchen have boasted about their pets' newfound energy, shinier coats, and all around better health. Prowl ($7-$50) is formulated for the felines in the house and Preference ($25-$52) is made just for your beloved pups. You can add the protein of your their choice to the food, but don't need to cook up an entire meal everyday! Would your furry family dig in?
This cutie pie was a fave creature of mine as a child . . . the subject of many an elementary school project and a must-stop at the zoo! Although I sometimes catch a glimpse of these creatures over on GiggleSugar, I figured it was about time I put my early knowledge to use and create a fun quiz about these furballs. You may have caught a glimpse of the Red Panda you see here – Mao Mi became a new resident of the Prospect Park Zoo last month. See just how much you know (and I remember) in this fun quiz!
Did you know that 77 years ago today, our Congress officially made the Star-Spangled Banner our national anthem? Some might assume that the day dedicated to our nation's song is in September – the month the song was written. But March it is and, honestly, I don't care what holiday it is, I love them all.
Especially when I get to take North shopping for festive gear! Star-spangled fashions aren't only for humans, Flag Day, and July 4th, you can reserve the right to show your patriotism any time of the year. Incorporate this Cat Collar ($7) into your feline's wardrobe – it's easy to find at your local pet superstore, plus you can use it year round! If you want to don the red, white, and blue hues today, find some festive fashions to get your pets in on the action when you read more
