Get Your Pets Geared Up: Cardinals vs. Steelers

PetSugar — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:20:18 -0800

Are you ready for some football?! I'm kicking off some kickin' Super Bowl coverage with items to get your pets geared up for the game. Although the sport's not my fave, North's no stranger to his fave football-shaped Orbee-Tuff. Whether you're supporting the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Arizona Cardinals come Sunday, there are plenty of collars, bowls, toys and even tags to let your furry friend get in on the action year-round.

BentleyB Vintage Tees For Your Old School Pet

PetSugar — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 07:00:25 -0700

I'm not really the type of dog mom that dresses up her pet in crazy fashions (except for the occasional tie or rockin' sweater from time to time), but I have to say that these tees from BentleyB are bringing back fond memories for me, which is probably why I'm contemplating a purchase . . . for North, of course. From old band tees to products from the '80s, BentleyB is to dogs as Urban Outfitters is to humans.

Shirts are $32, and are truly vintage as they've been carefully selected and recycled secondhand. But the bummer is that a ton of the best tees are sold out! I hope the stock gets replenished soon, 'cause you see that Felix tee? Yeah, that's on my list. I loved that cat!

Stock Up on Pet Gear at World Market!

PetSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:00:36 -0700

Who would've thought you could get such great stuff at Cost Plus World Market for your pets!? North loved the Sojo's treats I picked up for him awhile back, and I certainly loved Patches' Pinot and the Pet Hair Lifter, too. When I stopped back in over the weekend, I purchased a glow-in-the-dark squeaky ball, and some of these pet wipes to freshen him up between bath times.

In addition to all the neat storage containers and accent pieces for your home, I have a few faves on my pet wish list widget below, like the Dog Tricks Book ($13). Could North really learn how to fetch a Frisbee!? I'm sure he's up for the challenge - he may be six years old, but he's still a 10 when it comes to energy!

Takeout Dog Bowl or Fortune Cookie Rope Toy ($10)	Gonzo Pet Hair Lifter ($7)
Ceramic Dog Treat Jar ($15)	"Dog Tricks " Book With Fetching Disc ($13)
Mrs. Meyer's Household Pet Cleaning Supplies ($6-$8)	"Stuff On My Cat" Book ($10)
Dog Grooming Gift Sets ($8-$13)	Sisal Cat Toys ($6-$10)	97 Ways to Make a Dog Smile ($8)

What's Your Take: Are Pup Belly Warmers the Next Big Trend?

PetSugar — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 10:15:34 -0700

While cruising through the pet section of the Japanese dollar store, I happened upon a collection of Pup Belly Warmers. In most ways, they are simply pet sweaters, designed to keep your animal warm; however, they don't have holes for limbs. Innnnnteresting. After staring at them for a few minutes, I decided I'd categorize them as leg warmers for your puppy's belly. At about $4 a pop they certainly don't compare to the cozy Juicy Couture sweater Blake Lively's dog sports, but they're definitely unique. Do you think your pet has a chilly tum or would he wanna wiggle his way right out of this idea?

FuzzyNation Handbags Take on Pup Chic Shape

PetSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:00:53 -0700

So I'm not entirely convinced the makers of the FuzzyNation Handbags ever imagined pups would be carried in their bags, but it would certainly be a sight to behold.

The bags, which range in cost from $130 to $180, are made of metallic leather or faux alligator fabric and come with an adjustable leather strap. Now I know many of you love your pooches – and toting them around – would you substitute one of these bags on a dogs-not-welcome excursion?

Get Your Pets Geared Up: Giants vs. Patriots

PetSugar — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 03:00:44 -0800

Are you ready for some football?! I'm kicking off some kickin' Super Bowl coverage with items to get your pets geared up for the game. Although football isn't my fave, as native New Yorkers, North and I are cheering for the Giants come Sunday. If you get rush delivery, your pet can sport his own look for your big celebration . . . or commemorate the victory after the fact! Check out a widget of all my finds for both teams when you read more.

Bare Bones: Reflective Gear

PetSugar — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 03:00:51 -0800

Now that it's nearly dark by the time I get home from work, it's time to start thinking about reflective gear for my four legged pal. Not only are there some pretty stylish and highly reflective rain jackets that pets can throw on before leaving the house for the evening potty walk, but if your pooch isn't the coat wearing type, you can always attach a safety light to his harness or collar to make sure he's seen even on the rainiest or darkest of nights.

Take for example this Buddy Beacon ($13) from Ruffwear. Waterproof and reliable (the bulb has a lifetime guarantee to never need replacing), this flashing safety light will ensure that you and your pup are seen from up to a half a mile away.

Plus, Ruffwear is committed to making sure their manufacturing and packaging is as environmentally friendly as possible. Check out some of my other picks for reflective gear below!

Track Jacket ($30)	Adirondack Jacket ($55)
Dots Reflective Dog Leash ($18)	Reflector Rain Jacket ($29)
Cat Reflect Safety Collar ($5)	Rain Away Windbreaker ($29)
Reflective Retractable Dog Leash ($20)	Sun Shower Rain Jacket ($75)

Get Up and Go: The Traveling Pet

PetSugar — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:45:46 -0700

Choosing a destination for your vacay is the easy part. It's the preparing and packing all of your things – plus your trusty friends – that will take up most of your time. Since I plan on taking some outdoorsy trips this Spring and Summer, I put together a widget of stuff that you'll need for outdoor fun with your furry friends. From wilderness tours to beach excursions, you will want to take the pet essentials: leashes, food, and toys, but what else could (or should) you pack? Well, let's start with the basics. These Hydro Bowls ($6) are perfect for on-the-go food and water for both cats and pups. What's more, they fold up nice and small, so you have room in the trunk for more toys. Check out my widget below for more outdoor travel necessities when you read more.
