Looking for pet toys, treats, and other items for your dog?... If so, then PetAGo might be just the online store that you're looking for.

I was pleasantly surprised by the huge selection of items that they have in inventory. And, they also have some of the more unique dog beds and dog toys that I've seen.

Pet lovers are certainly not immune from the Ugly Sweater phenomenon!

Have a holiday party coming up? You may (or may not) want to wear one of these...

You've probably seen commercials for The Goodlife Recipe on TV...

Today, August 20th, kicks off the Here's to The Goodlife pet video contest sponsored by The Goodlife Recipe brand food & treats for cats and dogs.

Here's an email I received from Abby on behalf of The Goodlife Recipe:

I've been following your blog ever since we started talking about The Goodlife Recipe products and treats back in January. I know you're always looking for the latest pet news and products (the Cleanup Bag Dispenser is great!), so I wanted to share information about a fun and exciting contest that's being launched this summer called the Here's to The Goodlife pet video contest (www.goodliferecipe.com). The contest is about sharing real moments like the hilarious doggie "boot scoot" clip (a close-competitor to the Stanley Steamer commercial)."

With less than 1 ounce of pet fur, you can make a bookmark, ear warmer, headband, hair scrunchie, shoe laces, decorative flowers, hearts, sachets, or even an entire skein of yarn. (Most of these cost under $20.)

With 3 ounces or more, they can custom make an item for you. Prices typically range from $20 to $60 and higher for larger customized items.

View all pet fur creations.

So now you'll be one of the first to know the next time there's a recall on pet food or dog treats.

It's easier to stay on top of things if you only have to check one place to find all of the latest recalls -- any time, day or night, today or in the future. Wouldn't you agree?

Here's what you need to know...

I received an e-mail yesterday from "Joyce" who said I had printed the wrong dosage for Imodium and dogs in this article about doggie diarrhea.

Panicked, I rushed to double-check right away, and found that I had NOT listed the wrong dosage... Whew!

Her confusion lies in the fact that I mentioned the dosage for liquid medications in milliliters (ml), whereas others (including a site I actually linked to in that article) sometimes mention the dosage for solid medications (i.e. pills) in milligrams (mg).

For some reason, my dogs have always been more receptive to liquid forms of medicine, rather than pills. No matter what I try to "hide" the pill in, they find it and spit it right out. Whereas with liquid meds, I just mix it in cottage cheese (which they rarely get, so they think it's a special treat ...or sometimes I even mix it in their own dog food gravy), and they never even know it's there!

Which brings to light the fact that it's imperative that you closely double-check dosing information before dispensing any human medications to your pets.

While there rarely is a difference in the effectiveness of liquid vs solid medications, there is a huge difference in dosages if you happened to mistake mg's (milligrams) for ml's (milliliters).
