Some of you may have seen this before, but it just blew my mind when I came across this…
A company called the Dog Star Brewing Company has created a beer for dogs, called Happy Tail Ale. Apparently, the proprietors go camping regularly with Kodi, their dog, who enjoys licking up the leftover beers during these trips. This got them thinking, "How about a tasty beer treat for our pets?" (more…)
USA Today recently had an interesting story on a new pet trend - high end rooms for your dog. Forget about fancy dog beds, pillows, blankets and other accessories - today's spoilt pets are getting their own luxury rooms, complete with cable TV and DVD players!
Design companies like Bella Cucina of Michigan are designing more and more dog chambers, with features like stone tiles and closets. The story also mentions some Texas folks who spent almost $6,000 for their 3' by 7' pet room.
I think some of these dogs are living better than me, and I have a job!
WSB-TV in Atlanta is reporting some new uses for Michael Vick football jerseys. The Atlanta Humane Society has been receiving quite a few Vick Jerseys. Vick, I'm sure you know, is the NFL player, a part of the Atlanta Falcons team, who has been accused of being involved in brutal dog fighting matches.
Folks at AHS have been using the jerseys for various things such as cleaning and even dog bedding. Look at this pooch who seems to enjoy his Vick jersey as a doggie pillow!
The folks at eMattress, the online distribution arm of bedding maker WCW Inc, have been offering a premium line of mattresses with wool covers for some time now.
Figuring that what's good for people is good for pets too, they've now created premium pet beds with wool covers, available at the eMattress.com website. The covers are made from pure virgin Australian wool, which is hypoallergenic, hygienic, very comfortable for a pet and easy to wash. (more…)
Thermozone, an Australian maker and distributor of heating and cooling products, has announced its new line of Petzone Plus Heated Companion dog beds. The product range will initially be available in Australia and New Zealand, at pet supply stores and on the Petzone online store.
This line of heated pet beds is designed for dogs and cats alike, and will provide therapeutic benefits, especially when it is cold and wet outside. When it's warmer, the bed can be turned over for a cooling effect.
Safety and comfort were key considerations in the design. A built-in thermostat, part of the Pet Sense thermal control system, makes sure that the heat is evenly distributed, and a thermal fuse disables the power in case of problems.
Is your beloved pet suffering from arthritis? It can often be hard to tell, but here are some common symptoms:
(From PRWeb) Dalida Maserejian from My Lucky Dog was inspired by her dog Princess to start creating dog beds, so she did. However, these cute and mostly animal-shaped beds also double as car seats for pets.
The unique dog beds are called BedPalsTM, and not only are they comfortable and cozy, but they're easy to take on the road. The incuded adjustable safety strap makes it easy to attach the bed to a car seat belt. (more…)

Do you love wine and dogs? I know I do! There's nothing more relaxing than sitting back with a nice glass of Pinot Noir and my little spaniel Rex on my lap…
Well, now you can combine your two loves. The good folks at Whiner and Diner started out with making dog feeders and bowls from recycled wine crates. Good wines from California and Europe, no swill here… (more…)
I know that we usually showcase dog beds that you would buy, but with a little of creativity, you can make your own and not break the bank in the process.
That's just what Candace from Crafty Daisies did. She had bought her pug, Jaxon, a dog bed which he definitely did not care for. Instead of going out and buying another bed that he might not like, she figured she would just create one herself. (more…)
