My Review/Thoughts~

My pets mean the world to me and I treat them like so. We have carriers for all of our pets. My greatest fear is that there is a fire and we would just grab our pets and run but what happens when we get outside as we have 2 pets that would shriek continuously as they were not in their surroundings and another 2 pets that would take off if they were not in a carrier. This is why I was so thrilled to include Ware Pets in my 2018 Holiday Gift Guide as this would make the perfect gift for anyone who has pets on your gift list. Not only was this very well made and has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a company who only does anything pet. These had to be the best priced products and you can go HERE to buy a pet item for yourself or that animal lover on your gift list.

I give Ware Pets my highest recommendation and my thumbs up.

My Review/Thoughts~

I was over the moon just knowing that this was even possible to do for a cat as we have wondered for the past 10 years what really made our 1 cat tick(so to say). Find out what your cat’s DNA can tell you about their ancestry and ultimately their health and habits from Basepaws. Harley, Our 1 cat was adopted through a very reputable catch-spay/neuter/release organization. This will have been the 5th cat we have adopted them over the years. Harley was born in the wild and caught together with her Mother and siblings. The one thing about Harley is that she has no common sense. She will do something and fall but will not learn and do it over and over again. We are convinced that she has ADHD and possibly early signs of dementia. If getting Harly’s DNA tested, Maybe we can find out some of her genetics that might explain her. We love her to death and she is part of our family. If you have cats or know of someone on your gift list who has cats-This would make the perfect Holiday gift for them. You can order your Basepaws kit by going HERE.

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I received the below complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this review. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

My Thoughts/ Review~

My cats just turned 10 and my husband has said for a while now that he wants to give them a bath. Now when I hear the word bath, I think of a tub, water and a lot of  scratches. I was thrilled when I received Quick Bath because I never knew their was an alternative to the conventional bath for pets.

Quick Bath wipes are formulated with effective cleaners that remove bacteria and odors from your pets skin. Quick Bath wipes contain Vitamins A & E and Aloe Vera which promotes an overall healthy skin and coat while leaving your pet clean and shiny. Quick Bath wipes are pH neutral and alcohol free.

  • Cleans and reduces Odor & Bacteria
  • Perfect for Cats that are difficult to clean or Elderly
  • Great for in–between baths
  • EXTRA THICK & heavy duty Wipes
  • Super Absorbant
  • Easy, safe and effective to use daily

Now it says “great for in-between baths” but if this is the only way you can bath your cat without the frustration of the conventional way at least it can be a game changer. My cats did not put up a fight at all when we bathed them this way. I thought the slight smell was actually soothing to me and my cats. They just laid on Eric’s lap and seemed to enjoy it.  If you know of any pet owners, This would make the perfect Holiday gift for any pet owner as this also comes in a wipe for dogs and even a tushee wipe.

I give the Quick Bath my highest recommendation and my thumbs up. You can go HERE to buy some for yourself or that special furry friend on your gift list.

Puppy Onboard: Travel Tips For Dog Owners 100%

Reviews ·

Sometimes, walkies won’t be enough to get your dog from A to B. You might need to cross town with your dog and walking would be just too far, for instance. Or maybe you are leaving town for the weekend to go and visit some friends and family, and want to take your best friend with you. Worried that this means you will need to pay for expensive dog kennels to look after your pup? Thankfully, that isn’t always the case, as you should be able to let your dog travel with you. Here are some tips that can help you with that!

Build Up To Long Drives

If your dog has never been on a drive before, they may be likely to suffer from travel sickness. Dogs are just like humans in this respect, and the unusual movements and sensations that they feel while being driven around could make them feel quite ill! But that doesn’t mean that you will need to clean up dog vomit from your vehicle after every drive – most dogs will get used to being in cars and going for drives over time. So, if you know you have a long car journey coming up and need to take your dog with you, you should first take them out on some short drives. This gives them the chance to build up their stamina so that they are ready for the long drive.

Buckle Up

Your dog’s safety should be your number-one concern when they hit the road with you. Therefore, you need to make sure that they are always secure when in the backseat. You can now buy special dog harnesses that allows you to buckle them in to the car properly. When it is fastened, just make sure it isn’t on too tight or else it could hurt and irritate your pup.

Wear Your Pooch

Wish you could take your dog out with you on your bike rides? Well, now you can thanks to k9sportsack.com and their nifty little dog carrier backpack. These are just like the backpacks what parents use to wear their babies in. The only difference with these is that they have been created specifically for dogs. So, if your dog is small enough, you just need to pop them in and then strap them to your back!

Get Them Microchipped

There are many different reasons why it is super important to get your dog microchipped, and you can read more about them at vetsure.com. But one of the main reasons is that it will be easier to find your dog if they ever go missing. Dogs can get stressed out easily while traveling, and this could cause them to run off. To make sure you don’t lose your pup for too long while out on the road, get them microchipped to ensure their safe return to you.

As you can see, traveling with your dog doesn’t have to always be so tricky. In fact, you and your pooch might enjoy spending all that extra time together!
