Puppy Love

Some of my dog-less friends think I'm obsessed. They'll never understand the love and the bond that can grow between a person and a dog. Dogs are called man's best friends for a reason. It's been close to four months since Charlie took his first plane ride from the breeder. In the last five months, the amount of research I've done on everything dog related amounts to a degree. I've had pet boutique owners and vets comment on my knowledge anywhere from dog food ingredients to training. (Charlie knows how to sit, stay, lay down, back off, high five, stand, wave and now in the process of teaching him to wave. But I won't take full credit, part of it is the breeder. Good breeders breed good dogs. I've been blessed with what my friend called, the "Einstein of all dogs".) With my research, here are some of the best dog products on the market, click on the name for more information on the products:

1. QuadBrush Pet Toothbrush: Brushing your dog's teeth is not the easiest task but it is so important. Here is something that will make your life easier. With bristles on all sides, you are brushing multiple areas at the same time.

2. Wellness Dog Food & Treats: Feeding your dog a healthy diet and premium diet will elongate your dog's life. Though premium quality food may cost a bit more, but you save hundreds and thousands on vet bills. Here is a company that puts thoughts in dogs' well being and nutrition through various approaches: holistic, grain-free ... etc. Remember, even though it seems fun to feed the dog table scarps, never do so as it throws their nutritional levels off, especially for dogs with a sensitive stomach.

3. Kwigy-Bo Carriers: Finding a stylish dog bag is not easy. Finding a stylish and functional dog bag is even harder. Kwigy-Bo has started making stylish and functional dog bags and they are flying out of stores across the country. In stylish designs, Kwigy-Bo bags are ultra comfortable for your little dogs and are all equipped with endless pockets for your personal items like wallets and cell phones! They are also airline friendly.

4. Dog Car Seat: Safety first! Our pets are as precious as a child, so if a child rides in a car seat, so should a dog. I've seen numerous dog owners drive with their dogs in their lap or on the passenger seat unsecured and it scares me to death. Do you know that in an accident, the impact from an airbag will instantly break a dog's neck? Airbags are made to save humans but not pets. Car seats comes in all colors, sizes and price points. Please be safe and invest in a car seat even if it's a short car ride.
