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.

New Piggy Alert! Reese Witherspoon

PetSugar — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 22:45:44 -0700

That's right! Not a new puppy, Reese and fam took home a new piggy . . . and, seriously, how adoro is the little oinker?! While adopting a pig can be a challenge for many families – piggies need plenty of space to roam – if owners keep a close watch on their eating habits, a potbellied pig should end up weighing no more than 100 to 150 pounds. Methinks Atticus and Coco Chanel will have some new playmates for walks around the neighborhood! Check out piccys from their grand ol farm visit over the weekend when you read more.

Chewgars: Perfect For New Pet Owners

PetSugar — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 03:00:54 -0800

I've always loved the tradition of new parents passing out pink and blue bubblegum cigars - so why shouldn't new pet parents do the same?

Enter Chewgars, cute rawhide chews for dogs that make the perfect gift from (or for) a new pet owner. A pack of six chicken, liver, and beef flavored "cigar" chews come packaged in a wooden box for $14.95.

Of course, the creators note: "This product contains no tobacco, causes no bark defects and may contribute to excessive tail wagging."

Who Decides to Adopt?

Adding a new furry family member is a big decision! Even if the pet is "yours," everyone who lives in the household is affected by this new addition, including partners, roommates, and other pets. Is everyone in the home on board to help care for the pet if situations arise? And, even if you live separately as a couple, where will the pet stay, and who gets the pet if the relationship ends? There are so many variables at work here, so I tried my best to come up with choices below to reflect the many aspects to consider. I'm curious to hear how you feel about whose responsibility it is to adopt a pet.

Even the tiniest kitties know how to use their claws. As a holiday gift, consider getting the new cat a scratcher, or the cat a new scratcher. It gives them an appropriate outlet, and adds to your home décor! For the latest addition to our network-wide 2007 Holiday Gift Guide, here are scratchers for every budget – from $30 to $300!

That way your cat stays happy and your furnishings remain clean and dry! The Catsifier ($19.95) comes in six different colors and prints, and it flips over to reveal a solid colored pillow on the back!

This (New) Home: Cool Pet House

PetSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 10:45:22 -0700

It's been a while since a fab pet house caught my eye . . . maybe not since Petchitecture! Coming from Down Under, this aptly-named Cool Pet House was created by the equally clever "Funky Pets International." This new abode has fans to keep pooch cool in Summer and temperature controls to make the home toasty in Winter . . . with a remote to set it all. Hey, this home even boasts indoor lighting (for pup to do his homework by?), and a wireless webcam to make sure he's not goofing off while you're away. There's no price listed on the site, so if Fido wants this for his very own, ~~he'll~~ you'll have to call long distance to Australia and ask them yourself!

This (New) Home: Sustainable Pet Design

PetSugar — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 16:00:32 -0800

Perfect for an ecotastically-pampered pup, this (new) home is topped with a top-of-the-line garden of its very own! Each of the Greenrrroof animal houses are carefully created with a special vertical extension to hold plants and flowers. This roof system can provide insulation against chilly temps and annoying sounds as pup tries to sleep as well as filtering runoff water and dust. These sustainable pet designs attract butterflies along with those pet owners that want to have the best (dog) house on the block. The concept homes start at $1,000 and range up to $6,000, so check them out close up when you read more.
