Treat Your Home-Alone Pup This Valentine's Day!

PetSugar — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 15:00:08 -0800

I've already shared how much North loves his rubbery, red Kong, so Kong Time is definitely on our wish list! Holding up to four Kongs, Kong Time lets you fill up each of the toys with your pooch's favorite treats, load them in the dispenser, and reattach the cover. Each Kong is released at random intervals within a preset time period, perfect for uncrated, home-alone pooches. If you've got a MacGyver-in-training, the Kong Time ($79.99) can even dispense from a countertop out of pup's reach (or can sit on the floor). Either way, it'll surely call your pet into the room with a beeping sound soon associated with snacktime – yum!

I've also bookmarked this product, as it will surely make my pup "crazy for red." Don't forget to find other sleek red items for our current petmarking challenge. Many of my favorite online shops (like Muttropolis, Trixie + Peanut, and Modern Tails) have special Valentine's collections available now – a great place to start shopping!

Super big hound ears! Super big basset cuteness! Looks like little Brando got a special snack for V day from Phasekitty! I've already shared my love for cupcakes, so I may fall for that pupcake if I came across it in a people snack/pet snack faceoff. A girl after my own heart, she had him sit still for a photoshoot first! Little North won't be lucky enough to get that fancy baked good for being a good boy this year, but let me know if you've treated your pets today!

What's Your Take on Zoorotica?

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, do the lovebirds out there have plans yet? Well, if not, zoos and aquariums across the country hold special events – like Binder Park Zoo's Zoorotica – to highlight the mating rituals of animals . . . and give you food and drink, too. Since many of them are already sold out, let's pretend for a moment: If your (hypothetical) honey presented you with (hypothetical) tickets to tomorrow's event, what would you do?
