This Ball Keeps the Fetch Going, Even in the Dark

PetSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 08:30:05 -0700

Fetch and repeat is a favorite game for many frisky pups. Now even though his mouth waters when he sees the ball (and will happily run wherever you toss), it can be hard to continue play after nightfall. But not with this toy.

The Glow-in-the-Dark Whistle Ball ($15) shines brightly to help him along and is equipped with mini whistles that hum as it goes - if you're still practicing your speedy pitch, the harder you throw it, the louder it whistles! Like many of my top ball picks, it fits into the standard size tosser if you want to keep the slobber away from your mitts. Game on!

I'm all about ways to reduce our urban footprint (and pawprint), so naturally I'm loving these all-natural tees from Planet Dog. With silly sayings too, these organic tees are printed with earth-safe, phthalate-free inks and made with partial wind and solar power! They come in men's and women's sizes and make a great present for friends who love clever tees, and also want to think globally and act doggedly for an eco-tastic life!

New Product Alert: Orbee Tuff Mint

PetSugar — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 10:30:37 -0800

I already love Planet Dog's cute, yet sturdy toys for my crazy chomper, North – they're definitely worth the investment because they hold up so well in jaws of steel.

I especially enjoy the minty scent (doggie breath beware) so how cute is their latest creation?! Added to their traditional holiday lineup (of Christmas bulbs and snowballs), is a mint-flavored peppermint candy ($11)! How totally adoro and appropriately shaped!

Super Bowl's Super Toys

PetSugar — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 08:00:27 -0800

Don't fumble and stock some football toys! My local pet shop has a fancy Super Bowl display with footballs, jerseys, and even special snacks. I'm not going overboard so my fella will have to settle for extra playtime with his existing football toys. Of the three, it's pretty hysterical (for me) to watch him attempt to pick up this large Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff pigskin with his little mouth. He usually ends up having to push it 'til it's up against something and then paw it down to get a grip. Very hard to catch the chase on camera – I'd probably be better off choosing one of the smaller toys you'll see when you read more.

Pet's November Must Haves

PetSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 09:06:17 -0700

I'm thankful for November! It's time to put the hot cocoa on the stove and warm up in front of fires with family, friends, and pets. To celebrate getting and being together, I've rounded up some great products that you simply must have.

For the full list of items, read more

First on the list, treat a pooch to a beautifully-crafted sweater. As temps drop, pets – especially small dogs – can get rather chilly. This darling Chesapeake Sweater preps him for playing with leaves, walks in the park, or family photos. Cost: $45.
When you're ready for that next adventure, pets need to travel in style! Whether you're going by boat, car, train, or plane, let kitties (and small doggies) get cozy in a Sleepypod. Offering a little bit of home wherever they are, this product triples as a bed, carrier bag, and carseat. Fave features include adjustable dome tops (open, closed, or off altogether), and the optional Sleepypod warmer car adapter – this is definitely a must have for $137.50.
Thanksgiving is an important part of a fabulous November. To make preparing and eating the meal an enjoyable experience for all, stock up on good toys to occupy pets. Planet Dog's Glow for Good Ball makes playing fetch in the dark even more fun plus, for each purchase, 100% of the proceeds go towards the Planet Dog Foundation, a non-profit that celebrates all service dogs who enhance and save human lives. Good feelings and good times can be yours for $10.
While prepping dinner and cold weather cozying, occupy your guests with a captivating coffee table book. Creature ($60), by photographer and filmmaker Andrew Zuckerman, is sure to keep company content, and lure cooks out of the kitchen with oohs and ahhs. So, while the oven is preheating, check out this eye-opening book featuring 175 wild animals (from parrots to leopards) all miraculously shot inside a NYC studio.
This month's final must have is a yum-worthy goodie for your pet. When you're gobbling the pumpkin or pecan pies over the holidays, give your dog seasonal snack of his own – Pumpkin Pecan Biscotti. With pureed pumpkin, crunchy pecans, and a touch of honey, these treats come in regular sized biscotti ($8.95/dozen) or with a specially sweet yogurt drizzle ($9.95/dozen). Now you won't feel guilty enjoying your own treats in peace.

If you haven't had your fill of dog shows over the past few months, from Wesminster to the AKC/Eukanuba show, then you're in luck. From the channel that brings you thePuppy Bowl, Animal Planet's own Dog Championships air tonight (April 5) at 8pm e/p.

This multi-city competition starts out tonight in Portland, Oregon, then makes its way across the country to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where the top pooches from Oregon battle it out with the new PA pups. The third stop on the tour is Houston, Texas, which brings all three groups to compete for "Best in Show". So intense, right!?
