PetSugar Street Team: Neo-Paws Keep Paws Good As New
If your dog's trudging through snow or scampering on icy sidewalks treated with salt, it's important to keep their paw pads protected. Granted this can look a bit silly to nondog owners, but it's important since the lime-rock or calcium chloride melts are poisonous to pets. Shoes prevent the risk of a pup cutting or licking his feet, but I can tell you from experience, it's hard to find ones that stay on!
Ten Tips 'Til the Holiday: City Sidewalks
In many states, it is legal to put down lime-rock salt or calcium-chloride salt to melt the snow on city streets. However, this seemingly innocuous substance is very poisonous to dogs – when pups return inside, and lick their paws, it can cause them to throw up (or worse). Also, its rough texture can cut their little feet and put salt in their wounds, literally .

Jonathan Adler's New Pottery Collection Is Totally Wild
Chic designer Jonathan Adler, who produced one of my favorite pet bed designs, is showing off his love for animals in a new way — with pottery and home accessories! His line of place card holders, pottery, salt and pepper shakers and lamps made in the likeness of whales, penguins, giraffes and hippos is right up my alley — it's all wild, baby! These goodies are available for purchase on his website ($18-$700) now, but if we're really lucky, we may see a few of the items on the shelves at Target.
Pet Present Extravaganza: Wild Kitchen Basket
When it came time to create a gift basket for those animal-loving adults in my life, I immediately thought of the online shop, Uncommon Goods. With a slogan of "find anything but ordinary," it's a great starting place for a unique gift idea. Because cooking (and eating) involves the entire household, next up is a Pet Present Extravaganza wild kitchen basket meant for the whole family!
Mmmmm! Freeze-Dried Tuna Treats for Spoiled Felines
Cats and tuna go together like peanut butter and North. If you've never fed a cat fresh fish, then you are missing out on a love fest like you've never seen! My first cat would eat tuna faster than I could say "come 'n get it!"
Protect Your Interior With Canine Covers
With the weather getting warmer, I'm sure you'll be headed outdoors to get some play time in at local beaches, lakes, rivers, and maybe even doing some camping with your four-legged friends. North especially loves the beach, but I don't love what the sand and salt water do to my car's interior! Try as I might, putting towels down in the car and in North's car seat doesn't always do the trick.
Spring Cleaning: Fish Tank
Undoubtedly, there has been a few times where you have let your fish tank go a little longer than normal between cleanings. A good thorough cleaning should happen at least once a month, where you replace at least ten percent of the water, clean off decorative accents, and vacuum or siphon the rocks. Since the primary cause of nitrate and algae in fish tanks is due to natural debris accumulating in the tank, cleaning the rocks and decorations is key to keep your tank (and fish) healthy.
Found! Tracee Ellis Ross Chooses Mendota
Tracee Ellis Ross (star of Girlfriends) takes her cute pooch for a walk after lunching at Fred Segal yesterday. I'm surprised to see her opting for a polypropylene, roped Mendota leash. Most popular in the agility and obedience rings, they have a broken-in, gentle-on-the-hands feel — and come in a rainbow of 21 radiant color combinations (she sports Salt & Pepper).
Pawz For Soggy Paws
When I picked North up yesterday at Wag, I browsed in their retail shop and scoped these Pawz. Dog booties help protect feet from salt, chemicals, and sand but can be pricey for pooches that have other things in mind . .

Winters in San Francisco are pretty mild, so North can still enjoy outside playtime . . .
