 Treat your dog to something special this February by giving your dog a Valentine’s Day gift he or she will adore. Your dog is always your loyal friend and offers your great companionship. Reciprocate the sentiment by giving your dog his or her favorite treat, a new plush toy or a cozy bed to snuggle in. Whatever you choose, your dog is sure to be happy and will show you lots of love!
Nothing is more for your dog than to snuggle up in a soft, cozy bed. One of my new favorite dog beds this year is the AKC Ultra Bolster Dog Bedby Petmate. This soft, neutral dog bed is perfect for a nice, long nap or just hanging out. Your dog will love the extra soft cushion and enjoy using it throughout the day and night. It is made of polyester fiber fill and perfect for sinking into and may be placed in your pet’s favorite location to make any spot in your home more comfortable and relaxing.
For times when you can’t be with your dog, a plush dog toy can be very comfortable and fun for your dog to snuggle with. One of my favorite plush dog toys for any canine friend is the Plush Woodland Moose Dog Toy by Ethical. This toy is made with soft plush that is sure to become the perfect snuggling partner for your dog. Another great plush dog toy is the Colossal Plush Lion Dog Toy. This plush dog toy is larger in size and great for hours of snuggling. It also makes a great cushion for your dog to lay on.
If your dog would prefer a tasty dog treat over a dog toy or dog bed, then choose a dog treat that your dog is sure to love and give it in moderation. If your dog enjoys bacon flavor treats, the Nylabone Healthy Edibles Bacon Chews make a healthy and tasty treat for your dog to snack on. Pick a treat that your dog is sure to love and your dog will greatly appreciate it!

 Keeping your cat entertained and having a great time with your cat is not difficult if you have a variety of fun, interactive cat toys for playtime with your cat. Not only does interactive play with your cat help to create a strong bond with your cat, but they are always great for mentally stimulating your cat and helping to exercise your cat. It is important for all cats, including indoor cats, to get exercise everyday to help avoid becoming overweight and having other types of health issues. To keep your cat interested in play time, use a variety of fun cat toys and sprinkle some fresh catnip on them when your cat starts getting bored with the cat toy.
Cat toy wands are great for getting interactive play started with your cat. There are a large variety to choose from and most often they have feathers attached at the end to tempt your cat to play. One of my favorite cat toy wands is the Flamingo Mini Teaser Wand by Ethical. This cute cat toy wand is perfect for dangling over your cat’s head and gets your cat moving by swatting and pouncing at the flamingo. The flamingo is filled with catnip and is sure to drive your cat crazy with fun!
Cat toy balls are another fun and easy way to get your cat moving. The Mini Tennis Balls with Catnipby Ethical are soft and filled with catnip. Roll them around on the ground and watch your cat have fun chasing them or toss them up in the air for your cat to pounce on. This activity is great for bonding with your cat and helps to keep your cat active. Keep a variety of cat balls around for your cat to chase and play with even when you are not around to play.
Catnip filled toys, such as PetStages Fishy Fun Cat Toy, make great toys for playtime with your cat. This fun fish is brightly colored and stuffed with catnip to easily get your cat’s attention. The ribbon fins are also fun for your cat to play with after this prey has been caught by your cat!

 Managing your dog’s calories can be difficult, especially if your dog is overweight. It can be tempting to give in to your dog and give her a high calorie treat. To make life easier for you and more enjoyable for your dog, give your overweight dog a treat that is lower in calories. There are a variety of dog treats that are lower in calories and great for any dog who is overweight.
One of my favorite low-calorie treats for overweight dogs is the Trim Treats dog treats. Not only are these treats very tasty, but they are also lower in fat and made especially for overweight dogs. These treats are available in beef or lamb and are made to be crunchy. The crunchy texture also has an added benefit of helping to keep your dog’s teeth cleaner and the mouth healthier.
If your dog loves to chew on pig ears, try switching to Cow Ears by Redbarn. These ears are lots of fun for your dog to chew on and are a lower fat option to pig ears. They are perfect for any overweight dog who loves to chew on rawhide and more.
A low fat treat that is great for helping to keep your dog’s teeth cleaner is the Greenies Lite Treat Pack. These low fat treats are great for cleaning teeth and perfect for any dog who needs to lose some weight. They are available in three sizes depending on the size of your dog. Your dog will love the taste and you will spend less time worrying about your dog’s weigh.
It is important to give your overweight dog lite treats in moderation because giving too many lite treats to your dog can also increase your dog’s weight. For a great selection of dog treats and more, check out GregRobert Pet Supplies for all of your dog’s needs.

 If you have a little dog or a dog with back problems, you know that bending down to help lift her up and place her on the bed or in the car can put a strain on your back and the repetition can give you back problems. Placing pet stairs near the bed or couch can make it easier for your dog to climb up on the bed or couch and allows you to spend more quality time with your dog. If your dog has problems jumping up into the car, use a pet ramp for your dog to walk into the car. A pet ramp is great for vehicles that sit higher up and perfect for dogs who need a boost up.
One of my favorite set of stairs to use is the Ultralite Pet Stairsby Solvit. This set of stairs is sturdy and lightweight for you to move around for your dog. Your dog will have the freedom to easily get on the bed or couch without aid from you and this helps to prevent your back from additional straining. Constructed of a neutral color plastic, these stairs are also covered in carpet to help prevent your dog from slipping off and getting hurt.
To help make it easier for your dog to get into the car, truck, or van, use a pet ramp for your dog to climb onto. A pet ramp, such as the Deluxe Telescoping Pet Ramp is ideal for providing a smooth easy surface for your dog walk onto. With the use of a pet ramp, you won’t have to strain your back to lift your dog into the vehicle. This ramp is lightweight and easy for anyone to maneuver. Your dog will enjoy the freedom of getting in and out of the vehicle with little support.

 Cleaning your dog in the winter can be more of a challenge because of the cold temperatures. However, when your dog gets dirty, it becomes a necessary task to clean your dog. If you have to give your dog a bath in the winter, it is important to keep your warm after the bath. To help keep your dog from freezing after a bath, here are some tips to follow when bathing your dog:
- Keep some warm towels handy for after the bath. Warm towels are great for keeping your dog warm and will easily dry a dog with short hair.
- Use a hair dryer to dry your dog’s hair. A hair dryer works great for quickly drying your dog’s hair. Keep your dog confined to a small area when blow drying and remember to keep moving the dryer around, so you don’t burn your dog’s skin.
- Use a dry shampoo on your dog. If you don’t have a warm place to wash your dog, a dry dog shampoo like the Gorgeous Dry Shampoo for Dogs and Catsis ideal for cleaning and conditioning your dog’s coat. This shampoo contains oatmeal protein and aloe vera, which is ideal for healing dry skin and great for use in the winter.
- Use pet wipes for a quick cleaning of your dog’s paws. The wet weather is great for creating lots of muddy spots in your yard and using pet wipes, such as the Muddy Paw Wipesby Petsafe, makes cleaning your dog’s paws easier and quicker.

 For a dog owner and lover, nothing is worse than when your dog gets sick and requires medication. Giving your dog medication can be a challenge, but if you follow these simple tips, it won’t be as difficult for you or your dog. The type of technique that you use depends on the type of medication that your dog needs and you will learn quickly what works and what does not work for you.
- Giving your dog a pill can be tricky. You can start off by trying to giving it to your dog without the help of a treat or food. To do this, place the pill in your dog’s mouth in the back of your dog’s mouth and massage the neck to help the pill down. If you are having problems getting your dog to swallow the pill, place the pill inside your dog’s favorite treat and watch him to make sure the pill is swallowed. If a treat does not work, you can try putting the pill in a hot dog and your dog is sure to take the pill.
- If your dog requires liquid medication, a medicine syringe like the Easy Feeder Syringe for Pets by Four Paws works great. Just load up the syringe with the correct dosage and insert it into your dog’s mouth. This method is quick, simple and ensures that your dog gets the correct amount of medicine.
- To administer ear medication to your dog, have your dog lay on the floor with his head on your lap. Make sure that you can see the ear canal clearly, so that you can be sure of how many drops you are putting in your dog’s ear. Once you have put in the correct number of drops, gently massage the ear base.
Remember to always speak gently when giving your dog medication. Reward your dog with a tasty treat afterward for being a good dog!
