Frugal Living for your Modern Family
You know I love to spoil my dogs. This includes giving them gifts and treats for different holidays. One of the holidays I love to spoil them on is Halloween. They have so many cute toys and costumes for pets now that it is insane. No, I don’t put my dogs in costumes…although I probably would if they would wear them. One place I found for great Halloween dog toys and costumes is Cabo Dog Boutique.
Like every other dog in the world, my dogs love treats and bones and I love spoiling them. And like any good dog mother, I want to give them treats that not only taste good but are good for them too. I was thrilled to review some new dog treats called Pork Chomps. The dogs were sent a box full of new products to try and boy were they up for the challenge :).
Pork Chomps are treats made from expanded, baked pork skin and they are so much better for dogs compared to rawhide treats. Pork Chomps actually conducted a study and found that dogs that had eaten Pork Chomps products had reduced cholesterol and triglyceride levels! They are also easier to digest then rawhide products. Something that is very important because my dogs tend to swallow before they have chewed up their entire treat.
Bath time at my house is not fun for anyone that is involved. If you have dogs you most likely feel my pain. I’m trying not to get scratched while still trying to keep the dog in the bath and not get my house completely soaked. One of the things I hate the most is using a regular towel to dry off the dogs. I feel like it ruins my towels and makes them smell even after they have been washed. That is why I was so excited to try Luv & Emma’s Dry Pets Towel!
Luv & Emma’s Dry Pets Towel is an absorbent microfiber towel that has an opening at the top so it can hang on any door handle. I have been keeping it on the the back porch handle so that when I let the dogs back in all I have to do is wipe off their paws so they don’t track dirt or debris in the house. So far it has been working great, especially when it is wet or rainy outside.
This month is my dog Sadie’s birthday! She is 8 years old. I can’t believe it! I still remember the day I went to the animal shelter and saw that adorable happy puppy and knew she was coming home with me. Now that she is considered a “senior”, it’s time to start giving her supplements and treats that will help her age gracefully :). The only problem is finding something that she can take easily and won’t spit out.
I decided to try PSCPets Aging Support for Dogs. I got the supplements that are for medium and large dogs. The weight of your dog will depend on how many you give them a day. Sadie weighs between 40-50lbs. so she gets 1 per day. The bottle comes with 60 chews so this will last her about 2 months.
I love when a new pet product comes out. I don’t know who gets more excited, me or my dogs! When I saw the Neater Feeder, I had to give it a try. I had just bought Obi a new bowl set so I decided to get the medium sized Neater Feeder for Sadie to try out.
When the Neater Feeder arrived, it contained 2 stainless steel bowls, leg extensions and the actual Neater Feeder. It was really easy to assemble and I like the fact that it has non-skid pads on the bottom of the feet. That way when Sadie is munching away, she won’t push it against the wall. It is made of a very durable plastic that is easy to clean.
