Pet-Present Extravaganza: Kiehl's For Canines

PetSugar — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 10:35:57 -0800

It looks like Juicy isn't the only trendy human brand that's created a line of luxurious pet body products. I was doing some shopping for my nonfurry friends and noticed that Kiehl's has a whole selection of cleansers specially formulated for dogs.

Apparently the line was created to remove dirt, debris, and odor, but is soap free, which means it's perfect for pups with sensitive fur. It has a faint lavender and chamomile scent.

The woman at the counter informed me it works for big and small, long-or short-haired dogs. Looks like my nonfurry friends are gonna be jealous when I give their pups their presents this year!

Cuddly-Coat Grooming Shampoo ($16)

Cuddly-Coat Conditioning Rinse ($16)

Spray-N-Play Cleansing Spritz ($16)

Last Minute Gift Giving: L.L. Bean

PetSugar — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 07:00:43 -0800

L.L. Bean stocked up on new products just in time for the holiday season – as long as you order by Dec. 21, they'll make for happy Christmas morning pups. My faves are these totes that come completely stocked with gear for the big dogs or the new, little ones. It couldn't be easier to give a themed gift as they've eliminated multiple stop shopping by offering items produced and packaged specifically for L.L. Bean by Planet Dog for under $30.

Pet Present Extravaganza: For Fishies

PetSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 10:30:42 -0800

While it's generally a good idea to get a big tank to give fish plenty of room to swim about, some species like the Betta need less water than others. The minimum amount of recommended water for these colorful creatures is one-gallon-per-one-inch of fish. Keep in mind that, if you are keeping your Betta in a small tank or bowl (especially one without a tank or filter), you will need to change the water every few days while adjusting it to room temperature before adding fish.

Pet Present Extravaganza: Patches' Pinot

PetSugar — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 07:00:49 -0800

If you're stopping by a holiday party at the home of a dog lover, consider toting a bottle of Dog House wine as a tail-wagging good gift. The Napa-based winery offers five different wines on this label: Patches' Pinot Grigio, Zeke's Zinfandel, Charlie's Chard, Maxie's Merlot, and Checkers' Cab. As an additional bonus Dog House Wines donates fifty cents for each purchased bottle to Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization that provides guide dogs and training free of charge to the blind and visually impaired. I grabbed a bottle of Patches' Pinot at Cost Plus to sample over the weekend – it was doggone good and had a price tag of under $10! Don't forget, no matter how dog-friendly it is, wine is for you and never for pooch.

Pet Present Extravaganza: For Reptiles

PetSugar — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 00:30:36 -0800

Features like misters and waterfalls are essential for adding humidity to reptile and amphibian habitats. This mock volcano is an automatic fogger and cool mist humidifier all in one – it simulates the clouds and rainforest, and looks pretty cool lit up, too. It's perfect for creatures from tropical habitats including many iguanas, turtles, newts, and frogs. To check out other water feature present ideas just read more.

Gag Gift: Unleash Your Inner Pigeon

PetSugar — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 08:00:42 -0800

You may recall my semi-traumatic pigeon incident, but even if you don't, suffice to say I still imagine any bird who sweeps too close to be two flutters away from landing in my hair. However, for those of you who do desire to get a close-up view of a pigeon (or have an easy target like me), I've got the perfect gift for you.

This handmade pigeon birdcall not only beckons the birdies to you, but also can be used to ~~terrify~~ remind others who have spent time in bird-filled cities like Manhattan of the calls of the urban wild. Before buying this gag gift, test its worth by seeing how many you can trick when you play the realistic demo
in public. Fun for you . . . for others, maybe not so much.

Pet Present Extravaganza: For Birdies

PetSugar — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 15:30:50 -0800

It's time to treat our feathered friends! In the spirit of the impending holidays, check out these festive products just for the birds. Gifting pets during any season is a great idea – especially toys that encourage natural-birdie behavior. With ring-a-dinging bells and dangles, places to perch, play, and swing on, these toys will provide tons of entertainment for the most-active flutterers. I've also included some gear with special spots to wedge treats and featuring biodegradable materials to satisfy the birds foraging, preening, chewing, and shredding needs.

Check out trees, Santas, wreaths, stockings, snowmen, and the rest when you just read more!
