Find That Unwanted Pet Smell With The Stink Finder

by Dogasaur on April 30, 2010

Here’s proof that fools rush in where wise men no longer need to. Because there’s nothing worse than smelling someone’s dirty business without knowing exactly where the little sneak pooped, peed or threw up.   When that happens, most of us are forced to put our nose on the front line, and find the spot by trial and error. All to the amusement of the gadget geek, who merely waves his magic wand: the Stink Finder ultraviolet black light. Whether it’s a large area or small, recon of your house, car or fleabag motel, the light will lead you straight to the source of accident, recent or untreated.  Because a little knowledge is in this case a dangerous thing, they even threw in a free bottle of urine odor remover. Although primarily designed for cat urine, this non-scrub, non-rinse formula works instantly on contact, is non-toxic and non-flammable and biodegradable and prevents re-marking. All in all, back to gently used in a jifferoo.

Do you clean your dog’s paws regularly?

by Dogasaur on April 29, 2010

Paws are a high-maintenance body part. An entry point for infection, they need to be cleaned and dried carefully once the rest of the dog has gotten wet from swimming or the bathing process. But as you know, paws can be difficult on which to get a grip, especially if Fido is feeling frisky.  The Soggy Paws Towel puts a stop to all that. Designed exclusively for dogs, this towel manages to be both soft and durable at the same time. Oval in shape, the super-absorbent 100% cotton towel has two pockets, one that lets you hold the dog in one hand and the other to work the hard-to-reach areas like the paws, ears and belly.   Plus you get to do the job with your hands in your pockets. Honestly, how often do you get to swing that deal?

*Oval shape with 2 pockets; loop on end for hanging

*Pre-washed, pre-shrunk, and color fast; machine-washable

*Measures 10 by 30 inches

What do you do for dog walks on rainy days?

by Dogasaur on April 27, 2010

Hit the dog forums and you’re bound to come across a litany of complaints about how owners’ dogs never want to go out in the rain. But nature is an unforgiving master, and sometimes, rain be damned, you need a walk. So take your umbrella — along with Snoozer’s Pet Umbrella–so Hedda can come along with you and stay dry as dry can be.   The umbrella is actually a nifty little thing that clips on to the dog’s collar. It comes in clear plastic so you can be in full view of each other despite the most torrential downpour. And it comes with its own coordinated carrying bag, so depending on your point of view, you’ll look plenty stylish as you make your way through the drops.

*For pets up to 15 pounds and less than two feet long.

*Bendable handle adjusts to your height

*Folds to fit in carrying case, included

Newsprint Is So Low Class!

by Dogasaur on April 26, 2010

Every dog, and every human, has those special moments when getting outside for the business walk just isn’t possible. And no matter how much you may dislike the politicians shown in today’s newspaper, doing number 1 and number 2 atop newsprint is so low class! That’s why Dogasaur is thrilled to be able to call your attention to Hammacher Schlemmer’s Indoor Dog Restroom. Looks like a lawn, smells like a lawn and absorbs like a lawn; yet it doesn’t die, you simply clean it after the big event. Porous, antimicrobial turf lets wee-wee drain through to the tray below. The main benefit of this product is that it offers a controlled clean up situation, raising the quality of life for the lucky dogs that use it.

* Mat and tray system

* Provides an acceptable indoor potty for your K-9

* Anti-microbial turf

An Unfortunate Byproduct of Dog Ownership

by Dogasaur on April 25, 2010

Mutt Mitts are 100% degradable. Because methods of disposal differ, Mutt Mitts use multiple degradation technologies to achieve complete decomposition. Most bags are not degradable. Typically it takes two or three bags to do the job of a single Mutt Mitt. You will find these handy helpers make cleanup easy for you and easy for the environment.

The Chuckit Pocket Ball Launcher

by Dogasaur on April 24, 2010

You got to hand it to the ChuckIt people. They understand that no matter how much you two want to play fetch, it’s hard on your arm. Before too long, it can be downright painful.  The Chuckit Pocket Ball Launcher is made for those times. A little over a foot long, you put a tennis ball at one end, and grab the handle at the other end. Then you extend your arm back over your shoulder until the ball is behind you, swing it forward in a smooth arc and follow through. Swing fast enough and the ball will sail through the air, landing anywhere from 100 to 140 feet away from you. Each and every time. Without arm pain. Pretty cool.

*Comes with one tennis ball in an assortment of colors. (But hold out for the lime green.)

*12.25” long. Short enough to be portable; long enough to do the job.

*Not recommended for use in densely populated areas. Open space works best.
