The FURminator is here!!

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Spring is the time of year for your dog to shed. As some of you know, in our GreatGreen world, we own a golden retriever and she sheds alot! But this year is different because we had a FURminator! This thing is nothing short of amazing! I think I took off 5 pounds of hair off my dog this morning! The cool thing was, my dog…who has never been a HUGE fan of getting brushed and groomed sat perfectly still for the FURminator and seemed to like it! Pick the size that is best for your dog …also, there is a model especially made for cats. Less shedding = less vacuuming = less energy use!
$22.23 - $34.99 at Amazon

FURminator also makes “deshedding treats” …I have no idea how this can work, but know that the ingredients are filled Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids along with being high in protein and low in fat….and my dog loves them!

Orbee Tuff with Treat Spot

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Blue-&-Green-Orbo-actual.jpg
It looks like the earth, so it should be earth-friendly right??? Well, could be better, but it is recyclable! and it is mint-scented!! My dog did play with this sometimes when she was a pup …but she grew up to be a ball dog and that is what makes her truly happy. The fun thing about this toy, is when you throw it, you or your dog doesn’t know where it will bounce or land. It is a bit unpredictable, so be careful!
$5.95 for the small, $9.95 for the medium and $12.50 for the large at GreenFeet

Great Dog Site

Great Dog Site
Great Dog Site, A Place for Dogs is a new site that I have been checking out over the last few days. It provides lots of information on 350 different dog breeds. I checked out a few of my favorite breeds: Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, Doberman Pinscher and Border Collie. The site has some great photos and also discusses features for each breed such as: Ideal Environment, Maintenance, Origin, Health. The cool part about this site is that you can easily edit and add your additional comments and information. With a click of the mouse it is added to the site (don’t tell the spammers about this one!) In addition you can ask questions about individual breeds. I did see some folks had asked a Weirmaraner question and got a great answer from the site owner. You can also upload your own photos to compliment the information that is already available. If you are looking to become a dog owner and you are still in the breed selection phase, the Great Dog Site would be a great place to compare and contrast to make your final decision. My criticisms of the site are that a few pages looked wonky in my browser (mainly when I was cruising through the “W”’s) and that even though there are separate buttons for “All Breeds” and “Pure Breeds” the content seems to be the exact same list of dogs.

This was a paid review.
