All tennis balls are not created equal. Especially when, as in Air Kong Squeaker Football’s case, they come in the shape of a pigskin, rather than the standard round shape. Unlike their tennis brethren, the irregular football shape doesn’t just add heft, but adds more unpredictability to the bounce, which will up your level of amusement, if not your dog’s.   The fun doesn’t stop there. They are non-toxic, squeak when they are squoken to and float should one of them end up in a pool or lake. They are strong enough to withstand the roughest abuse, but are encased in a durable soft felt cover that is gentle to a dog’s tooth. (When you think about it, that’s pretty amazing stuff.)   Football just not your thing? Well, fear not. Air Toys come in other shapes, including a bone, donut and a stick. But let’s face it. If you want your dog to be cool, you’ve got just one real option here.

*Small measures 4”.

*Medium measures 6”.

*Large measures 8”.

Raise your virtual hand if you have a dog that occasionally barks at people or animals outside your home. Some breeds have greater watchdog tendencies by nature, and while some owners might like having their Chihuahua serve as head of security in the home, this “alert bark” can change to nuisance barking faster than you [...]

As if childhood didn’t last long enough, the Late for the Sky people have come out with Puppy-opoly, the little kid version of Dog-opoly. It, in turn, is the canine version of Mono-poly. Sense a pattern?   Getting it absolutely right, this puppy-themed version is aimed, surprisingly, at kids from five to eight. So there are puppy tokens, get stuck in the doghouse or obedience school and hoard treats rather than the far more demanding hotels and apartments of garden variety people-opoly.   And because it is for children and therefore has to have some educational component, the kids supposedly pick up lots of useful information and training tips. But education be damned, they seem perfectly content to be puppies gathering treats for as long as the game lasts. Which, as you know, could be sometime around forever.

*Puppy themed version of Monopoly

*NO banker necessary. Just like real life!

*Includes 48 bones, a packet of Treats (money) in denominations of 1 through 5, 28 Obedience School cards, 16 deed cards, one die

In a better world, we wouldn’t have to worry about trimming our own nails, much less a dog’s. But even if you let your own digits go, you’ve got to bite the bullet here and make sure your pooch’s gets done. Because a dog who goes untrimmed is a dog who goes unprotected.  If, for instance, your dog is active and likes to play sports, neglected nails could hamper his agility and explain why he’s always warming the bench.  Being a pampered house dog is just as bad, because overgrown nails break easily and underneath the quick, which in turn causes bleeding, pain, soreness and even arthritis.   Fortunately, the Master Grooming Tools Illumi-Nail Grinder will help you take matters into your own hand. Featuring a removable, magnetically-driven LED attachment, it lets you grind away to your heart’s delight. Then, when you get to the hard-to-see areas, throw the Illumi-Nail spotlight on the nail and clip away. That’s entertainment.

*No more scratching sounds or ruined furniture from clawlike nails.

*Easy-to-use professional quality nail trimmer.

*Removable light attachment for maximum convenience.

Why is it that it’s so difficult to keep pills out of people’s mouths and so difficult to get the same substances into your pet’s?   Maybe it’s because animals are smarter than some of us. So if a thunderstorm got them rattled or if they’re about to freak over a flight or a trip to the vet, situations which routinely call for some sort of calming sedation action on your part, the superior alternative may well be Bach’s Rescue Remedy.   This homeopathic- inspired formula, which combines five soothing flower essences, such as helianthemum, clematis and impatiens, comes in drop or spray form, and can work on cats and horses too, if you’ve got them around. Even better, it  goes down a lot easier than pills.  And it’s all natural, so you don’t have to worry about side effects, like addiction and rehab.

*Made from natural flower essences.

*Organic and manufactured with certified expertise.

*Safe, nontoxic, effective.

Hey dog owners, answer this question: Does your dog truly know what the word “sit” means? If you tell him to sit at your feet right now, his rump will hit the ground, no questions asked, within two seconds? Without treats? Ok, please go ahead and try it.
How’d it go? How many times did you [...]

It’s not just the adults — and the children — of the world who are packing on the pounds. Thanks to sedentary lifestyles and diet, doghood obesity is no longer an oxymoron.   Like people, dogs are suffering from a super-sizing of portions. So instead of casually filling a bowl up with dog food,  you need to know how much is enough. That’s why these great looking Wetnoz Pet Bowls come in three “scoop and doop” sizes, making it easy for you to dole out the right amount of food.  Even better, these bowls look like an homage to Calder, not just a slop bowl. So go ahead and flaunt your artistic side. Turn what used to be your kitchen floor into a canvas of modern art.

Hubba Wubba. Although the somewhat obscurely named Kong Wubba hardly rolls off the tongue, this tough little nylon multi-tasker is like a toy chest all in one. First and foremost, it’s a chew toy. Inside a durable, reinforced-stitch nylon fabric are two balls. On top there’s a tough rubber ball; on the bottom, a squeaky tennis ball.   But the fun doesn’t stop there. There are also some long, floppy tails that hang down from the sack so in addition to munching on the balls, the Wubba can be grabbed, thrown and fetched with equal aplomb. And, according to the Wubba World gospel, dogs especially love shaking the Wubbas back and forth so that the tails flap in the dog’s face. So give this Wubba extra points for versatility.   It’s enough to make the Wubba people believe they are sitting on your dog’s next “best friend.” According to company lore, TK, who may be a real person or publishing jargon for “Name to come,” came up with the “ball-in-the-sock” idea because he kept losing tennis balls in the snow. But the dogs fell so in love with the Wubba that they had to create Wubba World, just to spread the love. Apparently love really is all you need.
