Giveaway Tuesday: Frolicat Dart!
Congratulations to our winner, Jason! I hope the kitties and the puppy love it!! Diet and exercise, the dynamic duo of weight loss. For us humans, the activity possibilities are endless. For dogs, there are activities as complex as agility or as simple as a walk down the street. For cats....well, good luck with that. Maybe you can dangle a feather. Maybe they'll like one of those ball in a wheel things. Getting a cat to exercise is about as simple as, well, getting a cat to exercise. ... Read more »

Giveaway: Aussan Natural Pet Care
When I was three, my mother learned the hard way that her kid had sensitive skin. They were out of our regular laundry detergent at the store, so she brought home some Tide, that chemical cornucopia in the blaring orange box. She did 5 loads of laundry and bundled me into my winter snowsuit. 5 minutes later, she found me wiggling on the floor like a caterpillar trying to escape the chrysalis. "What are you doing?" she demanded. "ITCHY!!" I wailed. So she unwrapped me like a teeny angry mummy, ... Read more »
Drinkwell 360 review and giveaway!
Congratulations to the winner, Marie Collins! I hope you love it! It's Giveaway Tuesday! My favorite day! Today we have something for all the cat owners out there, something that almost all of us have owned or have thought about owning at some point: a drinking fountain. Despite their well known aversion to baths, cats love water- as long as they don't have to sit in it. Turn on a stream of water in the sink and it's like a kitty magnet- zoom! In they come, tongues extended as they oh so ... Read more »
Woodrow Wear Power Paws Review and Giveaway!
I will sort through the many entries to the Freaky Dog People giveaway from last week and contact the winners by the end of this week. In the meantime, who's ready for another Giveaway Tuesday?? Today I'm reviewing pet socks. Go ahead and raise your eyebrows. I admit on first glance, it looks more dress-up than functional. But bear with me. I spend a lot of time on the ground with a dog paw in my lap in my line of work. Those pads sustain a lot of insult- foxtail awns poking in ... Read more »
Freaky Dog People Ultimate Giveaway!
Hooray! It's another Giveaway Tuesday!! I love a good t-shirt as much as the next person. They're comfortable, they're easy, and they work with a lifestyle of running around after dogs and kids. Whether they are fashionable, well, that kind of depends on the shirt. Many of the T-shirts in my closet are purloined from my husband, who gets them in his work in the technology sector on a regular basis. Sun Microsystems shirt- not so haute. Gowalla- maybe a little trendier, but still. I wear ... Read more »

Howliday Week: Joy Pet Products Goose Down Coat Giveaway!
Think of this as the furry version of Oprah's Favorite Things, except with you all in your living room instead of in the studio, and me only giving away a few things instead of one to every reader. And we haven't all had our hair and makeup done. And we're not in Chicago. OK, it's not anything like Oprah's Favorite Things but it's still going to be a fun, fun week because I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS and therefore I dedicate the next month to merriment, festivities and gifts! This week is the ... Read more »
Giveaway: Stella & Chewy’s Carnivore Kisses
And the lucky winner chosen by random.org is Dana and her lucky pup Gucci! Congratulations! Have you ever tried those freeze dried apple thingies they have at Costco? They don't look like much, I'll give them that. When my friend pressed them into my hand with the confidence of one who was introducing me to the wonders of crack, I wasn't too impressed. "Why are you giving me astronaut food?" I asked her, proud of my impromptu 80's reference. So not appetizing (yet strangely alluring. I ... Read more »

Giveaway: Peekeeper
Have you ever heard of a fashionable diaper? Me neither. There is a reason they are not considered haute couture. Nonetheless, there is a time and place for everything, and our canine friends may sometimes find themselves in need of one as well. Incontinent dogs, submissive urinators who sprinkle everywhere, and dogs in heat are just a couple examples of the type of dog who might find themselves bundled up in doggie depends. Dog diapers, in addition to being just silly looking, are a bit ... Read more »
