New Product Alert! PilloWrap

PetSugar — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 07:15:37 -0800

The Caspian PilloWrap is an exclusive product from my new favorite pet supply shop here in San Francisco, Chengoo Boutique. Luckily for those of you not living here, they've got an awesome online selection where you can pick out a PilloWrap ($59) (and other awesome goodies) for your lucky pets, too.
This handmade comforter is perfect for those chilly cats but, if you've got a hot dog, it folds up into a cushion for those travel times (or even a tiny bed for your small fries). Who says functional can't be fun, too?!

I Need Your Help . . . Can Kitty Be Obsessive and Compulsive?

PetSugar — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 04:15:05 -0800

These two curled up cutie cats are Olivia and Reese but turns out the lil gray one recently did something not so cute: she clawed up this duvet cover (see evidence at right) . . . and she's a repeat offender!
Olivia likes to pick at things, then go back to them – taking lil nibbles at a time on normal curtains and shower curtains, pooping in plants, and then this comforter. Not so comforting. She certainly likes to make some mischief – do any of you also own pets that selectively seek and destroy items in your home? Let's put our heads together and come up with some tips to help this Sugar staffer reclaim the space, and redirect kitty's energy before she goes back for more!

How Did You Choose Your Pet's Veterinarian?

PetSugar — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:00:35 -0700

Choosing a veterinarian can be a big task for a first timer, or if you just relocated to a new city. Just like when you choose your own doctor, you want your pet's to be the best you can find . . . to make office visits as stress-free as possible. It's always nice if you find someone great that makes both you and your furry friend feel comfortable.

When I first moved to San Francisco, I took my time selecting North's vet – even though I had a fab reference from my friend's mom who had a pup with many health problems. In addition to considering her advice, I asked other pals where they took their pets and checked around at the day care and the dog park before settling on one that I thought would be the right fit for both of us. Even though some owners choose solely on location, others may assume that the most expensive means they are the best. How did you choose your vet? Did you utilize online review forums like Yelp or did you stick with friendly recommendations? Tell me your story in the comments below!
