Don't let a nosy pooch sniff around or dig up any flowers you haven't planted yourself! If Summer travels take you to new parks or yards, double check that the gardens don't use cocoa mulch, a common fertilizer made from poisonous cocoa beans. Just like chocolate, it contains theobromine, a chemical that can cause vomiting, muscle tremors, or even death to furry friends.

I think this hanging aquarium would make a fab self-contained terrarium. While my suggested version of this enclosed habitat doesn't include any animals, it's a great way to bring growing life to your office . .

I've seen these edible grass kits for cats popping up everywhere these days, and I knew (like dogs), grass can helps aid in digestion. What I didn't know was that a grass garden like this one from Cat Livin ($18), is loaded with a variety of oats, wheat, rye, and barley all-in-one, and naturally helps kitty rid herself of hairballs. Growing in 4-6 days, you can reuse the stainless steel container and replacement seeds are inexpensive at $5.

I'm no stranger to hedges groomed like animals or other shapes that do not occur in nature and acheiving that result is easier than ever. Coming in three varieties for different planting options, you can opt to get your pet topiary pre-filled with moss seeds (think Chia Pet), add seeds yourself (think Miracle-Gro), or choose to add other adornments (think costumes and holiday lights).

Curious about what goes on behind-the-scenes with animal caretakers? With all the creatures — and massive amounts of food (yum) and cleanup (yuck) — I can't imagine it's an easy job, but still looks like so much fun. Now, I've already settled on a career path but Sea World and Busch Gardens have super cool Adventure Camps, geared to give teen girls this hands-on experience at their parks and encourage careers in science.
