I have been hearing so much about the Gentle Leader Headcollar from Premier pet but never quiet got the gist of what it did. I guess that’s because I don’t have a dog, but as I have said many times before I am related to plenty of pooches.
I am always seeing people struggling with their dogs as they try to walk them. It is more like the dog is taking them for the walk or perhaps I should say for a drag. From what I just read about the Gentle Leader over at PetSaverCoupons.com I take it that is what this headcollar does. It helps better control the dog so he his not pulling you.
Heck if it can help Sandy stop pulling it should be able to work for almost anyone with a feisty pup.
The gentle leader comes complete with an instructional video to teach you how to use this unique dog collar. It really is kind of odd looking but who cares if it works. The gentle leader is designed to keep your dog beside you or behind you instead in front of you pulling you along.
Regina even said that the gentle leader reduced her back strain her dog caused her when they would go for walk. With those kinds of results all I can say is the Premier Gentle Leader Headcollar is the dog collar for me (if I had a dog that is.) I know I will be telling all my canine loving friends about this great product.
If you have used the Gentle Leader be sure to let me know what you think of this product by commenting on this article.

Today is Earth Day and it’s going to the dogs. I have already written about my favorite eco-superhero Captain Planet and his trusty sidekicks the Planeteers the other day listing a few helpful things you can do every day to make our planet a better place to live.
Today I want to write a little about our pets and what we can do to help them help us on our quest for a more environmentally friendly planet. I just think it is important that we make changes in every aspect of our lives and this includes our pets.
First and foremost are the toys besides treats this is what we buy the most of for our furry little friends. Pet toys vary in product types and the materials used to make them.
Look for toys that are either recycled or can be recycled. These can include plush, rubber and plastic toys. Remember to recycle the packaging too. Most packaging is made of recyclable cardboard and plastics. Be mindful of what you send out to the landfills.
Try to find all natural alternatives to pest control instead of using harsh chemicals. This is better for the environment and for your pet.
Organic treats will not only be healthier for your pets but will not add unwanted chemicals and fertilizers to the soil thus reducing ground pollution.
West Paw Designs Eco Toys are made from recycled plastic bottles. Not sure how they do it but the material and the stuffing used to be plastic bottles. Pretty cool huh? They also make beds and rubber out of the recycled materials too.
EcoPure Naturals makes natural products for your pets from flea and tick spray to aromatherapy for dogs.
Robbie Dawg makes tasty organic treats for dogs and cats.
Whole Life treats are freeze dried treats with basically one ingredient. Those ingredients come from free range or wild caught animals.
These great toys, treats and other fine products are available at DogToys.com and CatToys.com check them out today!
While I wasn’t able to find a definitive answer to my question from a vet or pet site. That question being: Are onions bad for cats? I was able to find a very knowledgeable and friendly online group [Cats and Kittens Yahoo Group] that confirmed for me that my suspicions were correct.
An onion will basically cause the animal to become anemic by attacking the cat’s hemoglobin just like in dogs. They even go on to explain about a Heinz Body, the dangers of onion powder and that garlic has the same dangerous compound only in lower doses than onions. These people know their kitties that’s for sure. They were also a huge help to me when I first got Boris as a baby that needed hand fed.
Boy the list of bad foods and things to keep away from my precious pets just keeps getting longer and longer!
Earlier this week I had just asked myself why were onions bad for dogs? I meant to look it up online but never got around to it [as I don’t have a dog it is not a pressing matter]. Then tonight while in waiting room at the doctor’s office I was reading a National Geographic from October 2007 when I came across an article on the pet food contaminated with melamine and how normal people food is bad for dogs. It goes on to list other things to watch out for and well thanks to that article I now know that onions damage a dog’s hemoglobin. And that it is cumulative, so even a little onion every once in awhile can be as bad as an entire onion bulb over time. So keep your doggy away from onions.
I promised pictures of Boris helping me with my recuperating process. I have several to post but wanted to show you a little video of him helping me with my breathing exercises. Now remember this is a cat who usually ignores humans that are sitting around. If you are standing or walking he will be right under you or want to be carried, but sitting down he wants nothing to do with you. Ever since the accident he has been a little friendlier even getting on my lap at times. Granted once he is up there he usually has no idea what he should be doing just knows he should be up there making me feel better. Then he settles down right next to me. This is also not a usual practice for this cat. Enough rambling here is the video of this elusive guy up on my lap wondering what the heck I am doing.

Multipet International has unveiled the Pink Loofa Dog. You know him from those adorable PetSmart commercials where the little guy won’t give up his Bobo and it is replaced with a new one while he is sleeping.
The Pink Loofa Dog has a pink ribbon embroidered on his chest to help make more people aware of the dangers of breast cancer and to help raise money for research. Multipet is donating a portion of the proceeds for each sale to research.
Dogs have become our new heroes in the battle against cancer: from those trained to detect cancer cells to those who join with hundreds to march to raise awareness, to those who choose to play with the new Multipet pink ribbon Loofa Dog.
“The Breast Cancer Research Foundation has been selected as our charity-of-choice to receive ongoing contributions from the sale of the pink Loofa Dog,” says Multipet President Mark Hirschberg.
They decided to make this great dog toy with a cause after hearing the story of survival from one of their employees, Leslie Yellin, the company’s Director of Strategic Accounts, who was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago.
“I was devastated when I was told that I had breast cancer,” says Ms. Yellin. “Having gone through this, and come out a survivor, made me want to reach out to help bring awareness of this dreaded disease that affects 1 woman in 8 in the United States,” adds Yellin.
“We need to be able to spread the word about breast cancer awareness and research in as many venues as possible. We believe that the pink-ribbon Loofa will help to encourage awareness among our key audience…the pet owner,” she adds.
These toys can be hard to find even though they are supposed to be carried by national chains, but don’t worry you can get them now at DogToys.com.
The company that makes the Big Dog Feeder had briefly stopped manufacturing it due to a problem with the plant.
They are now back and ready to roll. If you have a big dog you should really take a look at these. They are available at ShopOurPets.com or DogToys.com for around $65.00, but isn’t your big guy worth it? The price may seem high but the Big Dog Feeder is made in the USA and not overseas, plus as the name says it is big.
What is a Big Dog Feeder? The Big Dog Feeder is 16 inches high making it easier for the bigger dog to eat at a more comfortable level. The legs are hollow so filling them with either sand or gravel will help to steady the feeder while he is chowing down. The stainless steel bowls are 4 quarts each [you get 2 — one for food, one for water].
Why a Big Dog Feeder? Because bending over to eat off the floor really isn’t good for your big dog. He can get GDV or Gastric Dilation Volvulus which is a scary technical name for bloating. The big dog feeder raises his eating level to 16” helping to improve his posture and therefore reduce gulping – the main culprit in bloating in dogs.
Older big dogs can now enjoy there meals pain free by not having to add stress to their joints by bending or crouching to eat.
The table top of the Big Dog Feeder measures 28” by 14” and has a raised outer rim to reduce floor spillage. The bowls remove easy for cleaning and are dishwasher safe to boot. With the bowls removed the table top can be easily cleaned with soap and water. The feeder even has the added value of a five year manufacturer’s warranty.
The gentle leader comes complete with an instructional video to teach you how to use this unique dog collar. It really is kind of odd looking but who cares if it works. The gentle leader is designed to keep your dog beside you or behind you instead in front of you pulling you along.
