March 10th, 2010

Looking for uncomplicated cat toys that won’t unravel into fluff and yarn? Kitty Hoots Tailchaser by Fat Cat Inc. is a remarkably inexpensive, brightly colored rabbit-looking toy that encourages kitty to chase as it’s dangled or left laying around. The catnip included in this toy is listed as organic; the rabbit-shaped catnip “holder” isn’t.

Find this and several other Kitty Hoot Products ($4.24 for this chaser) at Pets Warehouse. Pets Warehouse

Pentapulls

Just when you thought you’ve seen it all….The Pentapulls dog toy is an eco friendly nylon animal squeak toy that, according to the manufacturer, has had excellent success in entertaining even the pickiest of canines.
Crafted of earth-conscious (and quadruple-layered) nylon, this interactive pet toy’s 2 ½ feet length spans even wider than many chihuahuas. A total of 5 internal squeakers is something that all breeds can appreciate, but this unique x-shaped toy is probably best for larger dogs. Available in six animals, $17.99 at The Recycled Retriever

Bowsers Eco+ Orbit Dog Bed

February 22nd, 2010

The following is a paid review:
dogbedeco
For the treehugging doggy in your life. This stylish bed (which comes in three colors: Sienna (shown), Whistler Gray and Rainforest) is perfect for all dogs who lead an active lifestyle. I know my dog, Zola, would especially love the bolster on this bed. It lets him sleep but keep one eye open just in case a human may go near the cookie jar!

The bottom of this bed is comprised of waterproof nylon which lets this bed work just as well indoors as outdoors. Perfect if you want to take your dog with you camping or boating. Your pup will stay nice and dry while the bottom of the bed keeps the moisture and cold away.

The bed is comfy and soft since it is filled with fleece fabric constructed from recycled plastic soda pop bottles. It is estimated by Bowsers that this particular bed helps eliminate up to 30 pop bottles from ending up in the landfill.

The best part is that the bolster and cushion cover can be unzipped and easily removed and thrown in the washing machine and dryer. This allows you to keep this bed fresh and clean for years to come. And we all know that purchasing a quality pet bed that can last many dog years will be the best eco-friendly decision a human can make. Zola says; “pass the cookies!”

Your Cat’s Never Seen a Gym Like This!

This exclusive, 100% recycled resin cat activity center is worthy of some conversation.
