PetSugar's Street Team: Moochie & Co. Mud Puppies Collar
This post comes to us from the Street Team group from member kitkatherine.
I've tried three different collars and two harnesses before settling into this, a pink nylon one with a plastic clip buckle, a green leather one from the AKC with the clip buckle, and a red leather belt type collar. None of them held up.
PetSugar Street Team: Roll 'n Clean Is the Best Litterbox Ever
An essential duty of kitty ownership is cleaning up the poop — can't be avoided. Now there are plenty of pricey products that come highly recommended (like the Litter Robot); however, community member Arcsis shared her love for an affordable alternative in the Street Team —this Omega Paw Roll 'n Clean Litter Box ($29):
My favorite thing about this is you never have to touch, or even come close to touching waste. You fill it with your favorite scooping litter, roll it upside down, roll back and empty the drawer.
PetSugar Street Team: Sleepytime Tonic
Even though it's called Sleepytime Tonic, this remedy helps nervous or anxious dogs in any situation. It's also said to help with overactive dogs (I'm looking at you, North) for $13 a bottle.
Paxtonita raves:
It's like doggie prozac!
Doggies Sit and Stay For a Bit O Luv Beef Jerky Treats
I just couldn't resist putting up this picture of little Samson as he sat nicely and waited for his Bit O Luv Bistro Beef dog treat. It's just too cute! Bit O Luv's philosophy about dogs not just being pets, but being a part of your family, goes right in line with my own.
Opie and Dixie's Healing Paw Balm: It Really Works!
OK, so I go for my twice monthly mani-pedis and North sits at home and waits. I admit it, I feel bad. And although I wouldn't subject North to "pawnail" polish (hello, he's a boy!), I did treat him to a few paw treatments with Opie and Dixie's Healing Paw Balm ($15).
PetSugar Street Team: Pepper & Tanky Puppy Love Perfume
I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when receiving a tester of Pepper & Tanky pet perfume in the mail. But, after hearing about LilPeaPod's experience, I may just give my bottle of "Big Dog" a try next time North and I hit the town and don't have time for a full-on bath! She writes:
It was a rainy week in SF and, after a few walks, Samson had that "wet dog" scent we all know so well, even though I had just bathed him a few days before.
PetSugar Street Team: Kids 'N' Pets Stain and Odor Remover
It just goes to say that even the most well trained pet can still have an accident. Be it an unforeseen, emergency potty break or reverse sneezing turned vomit, getting the stain and the smell totally out is key to preventing a repeat performance in that spot. TeamSugar member wren shared this outstanding solution of Kids 'N' Pets Stain and Odor Remover with the PetSugar Street Team:
I've tried a few and finally found one that really works –it's my new favorite thing.
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!
PetSugar Street Team: Dublin Dogs Make DIY Baths Easier!
My pal likes to bring Io to the DIY bath station at a local pet shop but complained to me that her dog's collar always gets all wet (during the washing process) and smelly (during the drying process). So I recommended this chic Dublin Dog version instead.
Made of a polymer blend (read: rubbery), they don't absorb moisture, retain dirt, or harbor bacteria when they get soiled or soaked.
PetSugar Street Team: Dogswell Sweet Potato Fries
There's a restaurant not too far from Sugar HQ that serves some amazing sweet potato fries. I could eat those things everyday! And although I'm not sure if these Dogswell Happy Hips Sweet Potato Fries ($7) are as good as Taylor's version, North seems to think they're pretty great nonetheless.
