Pet Products Review - Wagatha's Wheat & Lactose Free Breakfast Biscuits

You know what one of the best things about being a pet parent? giving your little loved ones special treats and biscuits, especially when teaching new tricks. If your training and obedience is first thing in the morning, than what better way to start the day than with Wagatha's Wheat & Lactose Free Breakfast Biscuits.

These biscuits are incredibly good.  I learned about them from Hilton Hotels.  Hilton includes Wagatha's biscuits in their fashionable doggie ammenities tote.

Only the very best organic ingredients go into all Wagatha's products.  Human Grade Certified Organic Ingredients: whole spelt flour, oat flour, barley flour, sunflower oil, dried apples, ground flax seed, rolled oats, brown rice flour, whole eggs, dried bananas, cinnamon, maple sugar, sea salt.  Yes, "Human Grade"so I the Secret Shopper did indeed test out the product.  I found them quite good, and even tasted the bananna. 

Each can contains about 32 biscuits, so at $8 per can, thats not bad for a month of super premium biscuits.  Shop online at www.Wagathas.com.

Pet Products Review - Jet Blue - Jet Paws Pet Airline Travel Program

If you've been reading my blog, you will have figured out by now my two passions in life are my pets and traveling.  I swear every single last dollar goes to either the pets or travel.  To combine the two is wonderful.  That's why I applaud Jet Blue.  They're making it easy, safe and rewarding to travel with your pet.

JetBlue Airways just today announced the Jet Paws program as an "in-cabin", yes "in cabin" program that lets you and your jetset small cat or dog travel in style. 

Best of all, your pet earns travel points.  So, now when my friend Soo Jin brings her Yorkie named Chanel to visit me in New York, both Soo Jin and Chanel earn points.  Who can pass up double miles???? Not me, it just makes dog-gone sense.  After all earning more points was the driving factor in which Jet Paws was built on.

Go to http://jetblue.com/jetpaws  for more information.  There you will find a comprehensive Pet Travel Guide along with a Pet Travel Checklist.  Read both! And while you're there, up load a picture of your pet for the JetBlue Pet Look-Alike photo contest. 

To complete the ensemble of travel, and luxury, Jet Blue is working with famous New York Post celebrity columnist Cindy Adams to design the Jet Paws travel carrier and ammenities kit. 

Please keep in mind that inorder for a program like Jet Paws to work Jet Blue has to set up some rules to make the experience for all travelers a smooth ride.

Here are some of the JetBlue limitations:

• JetBlue accepts up to four small cats or dogs in the cabin of the aircraft on both domestic and international flights.
• The combined weight of the pet and carrier may not exceed 20 pounds.
• Only one pet is allowed per customer and the pet carrier does count as one personal carry-on item.
• For the safety and comfort of all customers, pets must remain in the closed carrier at the airport and in-flight for the entire duration of the trip.
• To book a pet, customers must call the reservations team at 1-800-JETBLUE.

Happy travels!  Send me comments on how your trip went!  Pictures too!

Pet Products Review - The William Wegman Collection Dog Bed - Exclusively at Hilton Hotels

Every receive a package in the mail, a big luxury gift that you simply adore, and is perfect for your home and lifestyle.  Well, I received exactly this kind of gift from Hilton Hotels. 

You may remember a few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about the new pet friendly policies at Hilton Hotels.  I was impressed at the fact this team of busy executives really understood the importance we pet lovers place on the comfort of our pets while we travel.  Well they asked if I would test out their new and exclusive dog bed that is used in the hotels.  Well, I certainly can not call this a sample, it was a gift, and one that is thoroughly enjoyed.  What a bed!  Its gorgeous!

But what can you say, the bed and the entire pet collection was designed for Hilton Hotels by famed photographer William Wegman.  The William Wegman Collection uses Crypton Fabrics features a pattern of the cutest little doggies.  My photos do not do it justice.  Crypton fabric is super easy-to-clean and permanently resist spills, stains, moisture and odors. Bed fabrics Turquoise and Walnut and you can choose from three pillow sizes (small, medium and large). Each cover is removable and machine washable (line dry only).  Hilton Hotels sent me the Walnut color, and I have to tell you, I feel like a professional decorator selected the bed because it matches perfectly with my walnut bedroom furniture and blue Tibetan area rug.  

As for comfort, Champ climbs into the bed every night enthusiastically for a content night's sleep.  And during the day, the bad is taken over by Stinky my cat, who loves the luxurious William Wegman Dog Bed for hours.

Go to www.hiltontohome.com to see the entire collection for pets and home.  At $140 per bed, not only is it supremely stylish, its very reasonably prices.

et Products Review - PAWZ, Natural Rubber, Waterproof Dog Boots

Well, its winter here on the east coast, and today, New York City had over 8 inches of snow.  My dog Champ simply loves the snow.  He plays and frolicks and digs.  He is truly at his happiest when he is in the snow.  But this does cause concern for me, because all of the harsh chemicals and salts that they put on our city streets are very unhealthy for dogs.

I've tried every boot imaginable, and the only one I've found that works is PAWS all natural rubber and water.  The PAWZ boots are like balloon bladders.  They simply slip over your dogs paws and away he goes.  They are such cute little booties.  They remind me of the rubber nose Rudolph wore to hide his nose.  People stop and stare they are so adorable.

PAWZ boots are disposable but can be used time and time again.  1 package will last a whole season.  Its nice when you can actually throw away a doggie boot rather than lose one.  PAWZ boots stay on.  The package comes with 12 boots. When one wears out, you simply toss it. Plus, they come in sizes, so you know the boots you buy actually do fit your dog.  Not to mention the snappy colors.

PAWZ are not just for winter, they protect angainst harmful elements all year long.  Here are some of the baddies they keep off your pets paws:
Ice, Lawn Chemicals, Salt, Liquid Chloride, Snow, Fire Ants, Pool Liner Tears, Mud, Clay, Pad Rashes, Post-Surgical Infection, Post-Grooming Dirt, Hot Pavement, and solves traction control problems.

My recommendation always keep a package of PAWZ dog boots in the house.  I bought my PAWZ at Spoil Brats in New York, but go to www.pawzdogboots.com for a retailer near you.

Pet Products Review - Pet Stuff Chicago

As you know, when I travel I make a point to stop into at least one or two pet supply stores that catch my attention.  This week, as the snow was starting to fall, and people were bustling around I stumbled across a store called Pet Stuff.  I really couldn't help stopping in, the store was incredibly convenient to anyone who lives and works in the loop. 

Immediately I could tell this store was unlike so many I've been in.  Pet Stuff was super organized, immaculately clean, no clutter and only the absolute best quality of food, treats, accessories and gifts.  And the prices were right on to boot.  Now if you know me, you know I like order in my life and when I shop, I like to find my favorite premium items in full stock and right away.  If you're like me, this store is for you.

Now if you work in the loop, but live a bit aways, don't fret, Pet Stuff delivers to the entire Chicago-land area.  They have locations on N. Clark and N. LaSalle.  Do check them out.  You may also shop online at petstuffchicago.com.   Don't forget to sign up for their loyalty card; in this economy you should.
