#PetcoDelivers Enjoying Petco's Repeat Delivery Service! Review and Giveaway ends 5/16/16

This blog post is part of a paid Megan Media and Petco Repeat Delivery Service blogging program. The Opinions and ideas here are my own.

We have cats.  One big, happy kitty family! All of the cats are in various age ranges but most are well over five years old.  Poof and Bear are closer to seven.  I love to buy them great cat food and fun treats, but I don't like shopping in locals pet stores.
I rarely have enough time (or patience) for that.  When I discovered that Petco had a Repeat Delivery service, I was ecstatic.  Convenience... no hassles... YES!  

I found the products I wanted (without time restraints) and began the process. 
First, I signed up as a first-time customer.  Second, I chose the Repeat Delivery service, added my items to the cart, and selected my Repeat Delivery schedule.  It's easy! I chose a two-week repeat delivery to ensure that I never run out of cat food! 

If you sign up between April 1 and April 30, you will qualify for 20% off certain items and a $30.00 eGift Card*** with a $39.00 order! How neat is that?

(***The Promotional eGift Cards are not valid on donations, back-ordered items, or the purchase of another Petco eGift Card or physical Petco Gift Card. The value of the eGift Card is applied to the total price including tax and shipping fees.)

My package arrived just a few days after I placed the order.

As you can see, Simon kept close watch over the box.  He's great security.  He made sure the others didn't get into it before he had a chance to check it out!

The contents were revealed! 

Happy kitties Simon and Oscar eagerly trying their new treats and giving a big nod of approval!  Greybaby looks on awaiting her turn!

 Bear, the pickiest of all, loves his new treats!

The generous folks at Petco have a fantastic giveaway for us! Just follow the instructions for your chance to enter to win!

Two Meows Cat Paw Shaped Litter Mat Review #TwoMeows

I've had many cats in my life... and I can tell you that worst part of being owned by cats is the cat litter.  It gets strewn everywhere.  When asked to review the cute cat paw shaped litter mat, I was delighted!

I was expecting a small mat -- big surprise! This mat is large at 24 inches by 18 inches.  It's a lovely shade of grey and quite soft so as not to hurt delicate cat paws.

In the photo below, you'll see a close-up of the mat.  It's designed to catch the litter before it can become scattered.  Let's face, cats LOVE to toss the litter everywhere.  It's some sort of cat-olympics sport, I'm sure.    

Just place the mat down at the front of your litter box.  It's just that easy!  Your cat(s) will explore it, give a disdainful sniff, and do the business!  

The benefits of the litter mat:

*** It's extremely effective at reducing the amount of litter scatter around your box. 
*** It reduces the amount of litter that gets tracked in your carpet and furniture.
*** Very simple to clean, just fold in half and dump litter back into the box. Sweep and rinse        clean. 
*** It's very soft on your cats paws.
*** It's fun to use. 
*** We back our product with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

The litter trapping material will gently remove any litter clinging to your cats fur and paws and keep it from scattering throughout the house. The rubber backing prevents slipping (of both humans and cats). 

I know that we're happy with this very useful litter mat.  The fact that it's shaped like a cats paw makes it even better!

You may purchase this mat in Grey and other vibrant colours at amazon.com

Dancing Pet Best Groomers Shampoo Giveaway ends 7/3/15 #dancingpet

What could be more fun than bathing your cat? EVERYTHING!  No, just kidding.  Bathing pets is, I suppose, more chore than fun.  It is necessary and we all know that professional pet grooming is expensive and often traumatic.

I was actually a bit hesitant to take on the task of bathing my sweet Poof.  He's a gentle, mellow soul, but not a big fan of water.  He's a bit of a bruiser, too.  He's a Flame-Point Siberian, 18 pounds of pure love and fluff.

Poof needed a bath.  When asked to review the new Dancing Pet Best Groomers Shampoo, I was delighted.  A review AND a clean cat!

The Groomers Shampoo comes in a large 16 oz. bottle.  It smells so good -- clean and crisp.  Just a quarter-sized dollop will gently clean your pet's fur.  It rinses clean and leaves no residue to harm the animal after.

The Groomers Shampoo from Dancing Pet Natural Products is perfect for pets with allergies or skin condition.  The shampoo employs a grain-free, pH-Balanced natural formula which includes botanical extracts, citrus, palm and coconut to soothe, restore, protect, and bring back your pets soft healthy shiny coat.




 My sweet Poof:  Clean and happy!

You may purchase Dancing Pet Best Groomers Shampoo on Amazon.com

Liquid Health™ K9 and Kitty Calmer

Cats and Dogs can become nervous and agitated more easily than you might think. Thunder storms, separation anxiety, exposure to too many people or other animals, being left alone, travel, sharp noises, etc.  

What to do? Sometimes, soothing voices are just not enough.  This is why I was eager to try Liquid Health's new K9 and Kitty Calmer.

These liquid drops are a calming supplement to help with anxiety in dogs and cats with herbs, vitamins, amino acids.  Simple, natural, and effective in relieving a stressed pet without fear of causing harm. As it calms and relaxes the pet, the pet owner can calm down as well.  A stressed pet makes for a stressed family!

Yancy, seen below, is a wonderful little boy -- a German Spitz.  He's energetic, hyper, happy, and just all over the place!  He does not like being separated from his humans at all.

I knew that Yancy (and his parents) would benefit from K9 and Kitty Calmer.  Sure enough, it does work! It doesn't "shut him down" -- it just helps him to calm down.  That's a benefit to all concerned.  Just a few drops and he's a mellow fellow.

 Benefits of  K9 & Kitty Calmer: 

• Reduces stress and keeps your animal calm and content. 

• Great for traveling both short and long distances. 

• Helps with noise sensitivity for those extra sensitive pets. 

• Aids with animal anxiety. All Natural 

• 100% Human Grade Ingredients 

• Easy To Feed Delicious Organic Beef Flavor 

• Non Habit Forming No Harmful Side Effects When Used As Directed 

I have not tried the K9 and Kitty Calmer with the cats.  They are, happily, mellow enough! But rest assured, it will help your anxious feline, too!

You may purchase Liquid Health K9 and Kitty Calmer on Amazon.com/ in the 2 oz. size.

Invisible Dog Fencing: A Great Choice for your pets!

The Basics of Invisible Dog Fencing

As a dog owner, knowing that your dog is healthy, safe, and happy is a very rewarding feeling. It’s also a responsibility that shouldn’t be taken lightly, which is why you invest in things that will keep your dog secure, such as fencing for your yard. Traditional fences can be sufficient in many circumstances, but a wireless or underground dog fence is another option to consider. If you’ve never used an invisible dog fence before, here are some of the basics that you need to know. This can help you decide if it’s a containment method worth pursuing for your dog and yard.

When Should You Use an Invisible Fence?

Invisible dog fences can be used in any yard or property, and they can be used anytime you need a containment method for your dog. Most of the time it’s personal preference, but there are some instances when an invisible fence is needed. For example, traditional fencing may not adequately contain dogs who like to dig underneath, escape artists who can jump or break through the fence, or aggressive dogs who would be a liability if they got out. In these cases, an invisible fence can be used to reinforce traditional fencing and act as a second layer of protection.

If you’re prohibited from erecting a traditional fence in your community, invisible fencing is a great alternative that allows your dog to roam free without a leash or chain. If you have a great view from your yard that you want to preserve, or you don’t want to hinder your own access to other areas of your property, an invisible fence is a great choice.

Should You NOT Use an Invisible Fence?

You should not use an invisible dog fence if your dog is younger than six months, pregnant, or very sick. In these cases, wait until your dog is older or back to regular health. If your dog is very aggressive, you should not rely on an invisible dog fence alone to keep them away from strangers or other animals.

Does It Work?

An electric fence for dogs emits a signal to the e-collar whenever your dog gets too close to the boundary. Most dog fence systems will issue a warning beep to tell your dog to stop. If your dog doesn’t heed the warning beep and gets to the boundary line, a mild corrective shock will let them know to turn back. This is effective for the majority of dogs, and most e-collars allow you to adjust the level of the static shock. Your invisible fence will be powered by electricity or solar power, and some systems have backup batteries. For an underground dog fence, the system’s main unit will notify you immediately if there is a break in the wire.

How Do You Choose the Right Fence?

There are many different electric dog fence systems, so it’s important to do your research before selecting one. Some systems are known to be more reliable than others, and reading wiredand wireless dog fence reviews online will help you evaluate them. Some things to keep in mind are the size of the area you want to enclose, and how many dogs you have and their sizes. You will also need to consider your preferences, such as if you want e-collars with rechargeable batteries, or if you want a system that has remote training capabilities, too.

How Much Does It Cost?

Top-of-the-line invisible dog fences can be purchased for as little as $300 total. If you hire a professional installer, you can expect to pay another $1200. Installing your own dog fence will save you lots of money, and it’s easy to do as a weekend project. When you have a large yard, you can save hundreds or thousands of dollars with an electronic instead of traditional fence. In order to power the fence, you can expect to pay an extra $1-2 on your electric bill per month. Extra e-collars can cost $100 each, and replacement batteries may run $20-40 per year. All-in-all, the invisible fence cost is very affordable and great for all budgets. 

If you do decide to go with a wired electricdog fence, it’s important to remember one last thing - the key to its success is completing thorough training with your dog. As long as you can commit to 15-30 minutes of daily training for up to two weeks, an invisible dog fence might be the right choice for keeping your dog safely on your property.

There is no cost too great to keep your beloved pet from harm's way!

#OmegaPet Tear Stain Remover for Dogs & Cats Review + Giveaway Ends 4/13/15

No matter what, pets will get tear stains on the fur near their eyes. It gets messy. Very Messy. It mats the fur and can actually obstruct their vision if it's not cleaned and removed.

We have dear friends with a sweet cat named Oscar. He's an adorable marmalade tabby and he suffers with allergies. His eyes run almost continuously -- poor baby.

When given the opportunity to try the new Tear Stain Remover for Dogs and Cats, I eagerly accepted!

Take a look and see for yourself how easy it is to clean the eye-area and how much it removes:

  

This tear stain remover actually works well for both dogs and cats.  Happy Eyes not only removed the tear stains and gunk around Oscar's eyes but soothed his eye area as well.
Yancy (the dog) took a couple of cleanings, but the tear stains were removed. The cats and dog had no adverse reaction to the cleaner -- it didn't irritate them at all.

I am quite pleased with the results.  The product works as advertised!  You can purchase this item at
Amazon.com for the low price of  $19.95!

FurMaster Grooming Tool Review!

Cats shed. Dogs shed. Nothing you can do about it, it's a natural process. It DOES, however, lead to furniture covered in fur... people covered in fur... everything covered in fur!

We've tried a lot of brushes and "de-shedders". I suppose they work okay, but never really do a great job of removing fur from our cats.

When given the chance to try the FurMaster® Deshedding Tool for Dogs and Cats, I eagerly accepted!

 
It's a compact, easy to use de-shedding tool.

Below you will see it in action, first on POOF, my Flame-Point Siberian with VERY long fur. In fact, they have three coats: Guard, Awn, and Down.  This to protect them from harsh Siberian winters.  Grooming at least twice per week is recommended.




Isn't that crazy cool? Did you see the amount of shed that was removed with one quick partial groom?

Next up is Yancy, my friend Dean's German Spitz.  Yancy is sporting a puppy cut due to Savannah's rather warm weather.   The Spitz has a double-coat.



It's truly amazing to see how much of the shedding fur is removed in just a few seconds.  The cats and dog love it as it massages them while being brushed.  Happy pets -- happy home!

Best Pet Health: Review & Giveaway -- CLOSED!

CLOSED!

Cats own me. THREE cats own me! Poof, Greybaby, and Abby.

As self-sufficient as they are, they simply can't get to some hard-to-reach places to clean themselves. Their ears, in particular, are an issue for my feline friends.
So, I was very pleased to discover Ear Cleansing Pads from Best Pet Health.



Ear Cleansing Pads gently and easily remove dirt and wax build-up from ear flaps and around the ear canals. Its soothing and non-irritating formula is especially helpful to maintain ear health in cats.
It does not sting or burn and can be used daily.

Directions for Use: Gently rub the inner ear flap and area around ear canal. Use 2-3 times daily for 2 days and then once daily until areas are clean. Use once or twice weekly to maintain the health of ears and surrounding tissue.

Ingredients:
* Deionized water has been physically processed to remove impurities and help wash away dirt and debris.
* Isopropyl alcohol dissolves wax, is non-toxic and evaporates quickly. * Glycerin is a natural alcohol that acts as a humectant, attracting water to the skin to restore suppleness.
* Salicylic acid causes the outer layers of the skin to shed more readily, allowing room for new cell growth.

These are so very easy to use. Just remove the pad, gently wipe in and around the ear, and toss the pad in the trash. No muss, no fuss! Even POOF (my Flame-Point Siberian) will sit still for the cleaning!
