New Kitty and Pup Announcements Help You Share the Love

PetSugar — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 09:00:42 -0700

I know that 71 percent of you call yourselves "pet parents," so I can only assume you'll understand my adoration for these new doggie cards, which just happen to look a lot like birth announcements for babies.

The front side of Modern Pet's Dog Announcements and Cat Cards offer space for your latest addition's name, date adopted, weight, and breed. The back side of the postcards are blank, so you can include a personal note about how much you love your new furry friend. A set of five cards and envelopes costs $11.

Modern Pet Dish: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:30:20 -0800

I'm all about purchasing stylish (yet functional) pet furniture and accessories. Since North is a part of my life, he should have nice things that match our home, not stick out like a sore thumb. However, spending $130 on a food and water bowl might be a little much for me! This model attaches to the wall (with removable stainless steel bowls) and comes in an array of colors so your pet can feed in style. What do you think?

Send a Pooch Packing for Summer Camp?

PetSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 03:00:08 -0700

Besides Wag Hotel, I know I've mentioned before how much I adore Pet Camp here in SF where North stays when I leave town. And after reading the current issue of Modern Dog Magazine, I want to send him to a real pet camp now, too!

The Double Dog Ranch was featured in this season's issue of MDM, and I can't get enough of the happy pooch pics on their website! A real summer camp for dogs, where your pup can run around acres of land with his new summer camp friends, sleep on heated outdoor cabins, and even take in a training class to brush up on obedience. With Southern California and Northern Oregon locations, I only wish there was one closer to me so North could take part! Ahh, memories of my own summer camp days rush back as we speak!

If you had a pet camp near you, would you send your pup while you were on vacay?

Come PetMarking With Me: Cozy Sweaters

PetSugar — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 04:15:57 -0800

While some dogs love playing outside in the cold, others shiver and shake when venturing outside in the wintertime. I know many short-haired, lil pups benefit from an extra layer this season so let's look for some snuggly sweaters for those pet owners who have doggies (or kitties) that are especially sensitive to the chill.

All you savvy shoppers and Internet researchers out there, can you locate the cutest, coziest pet sweaters to make sure your animal is warm and stylish too? Come PetMarking with me, by bookmarking your finds on TeamSugar. Don't forget to tag your finds as "Cozy Sweaters". I'll do a recap next week of our finds.

Geeksugar has written a helpful explanation of how to bookmark . . . or, in our case, PetMark! Happy hunting!

Come PetMarking With Me: Halloween Costumes For Pets

PetSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 10:45:20 -0700

Seems like North's not the only pup celebrating Howl-oween, plenty more plan to dress a pet as well! I don't know about you but whenever I spot a cute costume, I want to scoop it up . . . the more I find, the more I wish he could wear a costume every day this month.
All you savvy shoppers and Internet researchers out there, share the costumes you've purchased for your pets – or hope to – and come PetMarking with me, by bookmarking your finds on TeamSugar. Don't forget to tag your finds as "pet costumes". I'll do a recap next week of our finds.

PetSugar — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 12:00:33 -0800

'Tis the season of gift giving, but I know times are tight! For this petmarking mission, let's pick out holiday toys for our furry friends – they've got to have at least one lil special surprise, even if it's nothing extravagant. The only catch is that your finds are reasonably priced goodies (let's aim for under $30) and fit under the umbrella theme of Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, you get the picture.

Sooo, all you savvy shoppers and Internet researchers out there, please help locate the best holiday toys for pets and bookmark your finds on TeamSugar. Don't forget to tag your finds as "Holiday Pet Toys." I'll do a recap next week of our finds.

Special Alert: Go Where No PetMarks Have Ever Gone...

PetSugar — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 08:00:33 -0800

Now even I don't have the budget to deck my pup out with all the latest fashions (and many of you have pets that hate clothing) but let's dream a little and make a new look for our pampered pals, real or imaginary. In the spirit of the season, let's create layered looks for pets. I'll start by sharing an example of the style I created for my layered pooch . . . then feel free to do your own in your comments below. Be creative – the best look wins a PetSugar tee for you or your pet's own layered style! To see mine, learn how to get started, and see a list of my fave shops, just read more.

For those of you familiar with fab finding on FabSugar, I want you to get creative here as well! Think of pet accessories (collars, leashes, charms, hats, etc.), cozy sweaters or cute tees, and then top it off with outerwear. Build these layered looks by creating a list of items. You can start by searching a past PetMarking mission for those cozy sweaters we found or by tagging your own cute pet gear as "layered pooch" and creating a widget with your list.

Last-Minute Gifts For Cat Lovers

PetSugar — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 12:00:28 -0800

The clock may be ticking for you to find the perfect gift for the kitty lover in your life, but fear no more. Here are a few inspirational ideas for simple gifts you can pick up at home-decor shops, superstores, and even the supermarket.

What cat lover wouldn't adore this K Studio Cat Pillow ($110)? It's a tad pricey, but each piece is made by hand. If you want to spend less, check out styles from other designers at design stores.
Check out home-decor spots for modern cat art that says "I'm hip" instead of "I'm a wacky cat lady."
Gift a basket of upscale pet cleaners like Mrs. Meyer's, which your recipient will love, but might not buy for herself.
Any mall, home store, or superstore offers a selection of cat-food bowls. Find one that's sleek and fill it with a couple containers of wet cat food or treats from your grocery store.

Cat And Dog Bowls by Alessi - $79.99	Spot On Square - Ray the Cat Wall Decor - $55.00
Flensted Mobiles Cats Mobile - $28.00	Mrs. Meyer's® Clean Day Home Cleaners for Pet Owners - $4.99
