We can eat dog food

According a paper called “Can People Distinguish Pate from Dog Food”, put out by the American Association of Wine Economists, humans cannot tell the difference. The human food was put in a food processor to look like dog food from a can and only 3 out of 18 people could identify it.

So, it seems like the conclusion of this story is that your dog is eating pretty good! Or to look at it another way: the next time you’re having a swanky party and want to impress your friends, buy the dog food and let them think it’s expensive pate!

Walk the Dog Pet Products offers biodegradable, flushable poop bags for the eco-consciencous. For the more descreet among us, they also have a Pet Poop Pouch (say that 10 times fast!) The little black pouch attaches to the leash or your belt. http://walkthedogmfg.com

If a little black bag is not your style, check out the Hugo Designer Dogwear Poop Bag Holders at poopbags.com. They are so adorable that we just had link to them! The baggies on this site are biodegradable or flushable, too.

Spring Cleaning

Spring Cleaning – part 1

Bed Head brand has come out with Pet Head shampoos and conditioners, etc. just in time for that springtime bath. The bottles are in a variety of fun colors (not sure about the products in the bottles) and have fun names like “fur ball” and “life’s an itch”.

Healthy teeth and gums help a dog stay healthy. Skip the trip to the doggie dentist. PetzLife has come out with an all natural product that you can just spray on your dogs teeth — NOT an easy thing to do – I tried it. Maybe there’s a better way? If you have one, let me know.

Spring Cleaning – part 2

The snow has melted. Now’s that dreaded time of year where you head off into the backyard and clean up a winter’s worth of old soggy poop – swearing that next year will be different as you wade through the muck. Maybe it can be. Check out the Pet Poo Converter. Or look into getting artificial turf. K9 Grass, for example, makes a product specifically for dogs. It’s always green and never needs mowing.
