Despite having almost no ears (someone cropped his ears too short before we adopted him), Hugo’s ears get really dirty. And although he had no interest in letting me take a photo of his icky ears, I can assure you that they are pretty gross. (more…)

The people over at Clicker Leash sent us a great sample of their flagship product, the Clicker Leash! This is the same product that received National attention when it was selected as one of the “perfect pet products” to be sent to the White House when the Obama’s got their first puppy. So this cute little Canadian company suddenly got rocketed to stardom!
Magnolia tested out our Clicker Leash while taking a little hike on the C&O Canal. We decided to test it out on one of our regular walks since we encounter a number of exciting things that can always use a little extra clicker training!

It’s hot and my dogs are constantly panting…and looking for a treat. Frosty Paws, sold in your grocer’s freezer with the ice cream, is a frozen treat that is safe and tasty for your dogs. According to the Frosty Paws website, the treat is “fortified with protein, vitamins and minerals that dogs need” and has “no added sugar, artificial flavors or colors.” Admittedly, it doesn’t look or smell great, but my dogs love it! In fact, I have to take it out of the containers and put it on paper plates as the big dogs will inhale the frozen treat WITH the plastic container. Frosty Paws come in two flavors – original and peanut butter. We tested the original flavor, but I don’t think it would have mattered. The treat was gone in a matter of minutes.

What can I say? Willy is NUTTY for Best Bully Sticks! When I initially gave him the tasty natural treat, I knew that he would enjoy it. I also had the camera ready to roll as I knew it wouldn’t last long. As predicted, Willy snatched the Bully Stick out of my hand and scampered off to his crate – the safest place, in his mind, to enjoy his treat.
He gnawed on the stick and growled each time he thought I was going to take it away. That means it was GOOD and he really didn’t care to share it with me.

The is the first of a three part series! Part 1 is a review of the K9 Bike Jogger, a useful little, universal bicycle accessory to make biking with your pooch safe and easy. Parts 2 and 3 will highlight other products that Magnolia the Dalmatian has personally tested on her biking adventures! She knows that you’ll enjoy the sport as much as she does once you’re all suited up and ready to roll!
Most vets will agree that exercise isn’t just good for you, it’s good for your dog too! I’m not a runner. This is a sad fact for Magnolia. Being a Dalmatian, her forte is in long distance running. She’s not a sprinter, but she can go on and on and on; long after I poop out!
We have found a good form of exercise that both of us can agree on. Biking!

Many people are now making the decision to feed their dogs a raw diet. More and more studies show that choosing a biologically appropriate diet for your pets has health benefits that are almost unimaginable. However, feeding a raw diet doesn’t come without it’s drawbacks.
Ideally you’d be able to have the equipment, time, and space to prepare your dog’s food yourself. Making a raw diet at home requires lots of research to ensure that you’re providing the appropriate nutrition in the appropriate quantities. It also requires expensive and specific tools, like grinders to mix everything up properly.
