• Portable Pet Food and Drink Tote

  Here's a product that dog lovers can't live without! Got a dog that loves car travel, watches sporting events, goes on hikes and picnics? For the dog on the go, the Portable Pet Food and Drink Tote is ideal! It is a stackable hardshell compact tote with carry handle that holds up to 8 cups of food or water. It includes a water canteen, food canister and two hardshell serving bowls. Easy to carry handle makes it a grab and go. Great for car trips, sporting events, picnics and summertime fun. An absolute must have for the traveling pet. I bought one. It is great. See more review at www.welcomepup.com/blog. Available in Travel Pup package or sold separately at www.welcomepup.com.

  My dog was scared of thunder and other loud noises. I used this new product called thundershirt which required me to just put the shirt on my dog and then I eventually saw a vast difference.My dog calmed down and stopped hiding from thunder and noises. I felt that this product was a good solution for dog anxiety and at a very reasonable price.

• Gentle leaders

  I while ago I purchased a Gentle Leader heacollar for Lady. It is great for getting rid of her pulling, but no matter how tite I put the neck strap the nose loop rides in her eye. I have walked others dogs with this training tool, and have never had a problem. Any body else have a problem with this headcollar?
