Pet Products Review - Neuticles
Ok, it's Halloween, so I thought I'd write about the greatest costume of all Neuticles. Neuticles? you ask? what are they?
Neuticles are testicular implants for pets. Neuticles are available for canines, felines, equine, bulls or any pet which is neutered. Go figure! Silicon isn't just for Hollywood babes anymore. Here is want a Neuticle looks like:
Now seriously, animal population control is very important. Bob Barker has been telling us that ever since we were little. But according to the the folks at Neuticles, Over 80% of pet owners for various reasons hesitate or even refuse to neuter their pet. We won't go into the "various reasons". But, hey, more power to them. If Neuticles makes them feel better about doing their small part to control animal overpopulation, I am 100% behind this product.
Now what I don't understand is that you implant Neuticals years after the pet has been neutered. This gap baffles me. Does the pet wake up after surgery and say "OMG. I've got balls" and feel sexier? I mean come on, that's like 14 years. I think they've gotten used to space between their leg.
Now, I've never shopped around for implants; so I was surprised to find that a pair of canine Polyprophylene Neuticals starts at $109 per pair, feline Neuticles start a bit lower. Obviously the price goes ups depending on the size and type of the animal. Neuticles®ULTRAPLUS® Featuring ScarRetard and Epididymis for an XXL dog will cost $1299. www.Neuticles.com has a complete sizing chart to reference. Cost for Neuticles do not include the cost of surgery.
Also on the website you may download important brochures and get vet information. There is a very interesting video that shows the simplicity and effectiveness of the operation. I was going to post this video but thought it was too early in the morning for most readers. Do not implant Neuticles at home.
On the website you will also find testimonials. My favorite: "He's a guy and I wanted him to remain looking like one." Lane Hinderman - Metairie, Louisiana
When you do opt for the Neuticles lifestyle, don't forget to visit the Neuticle's Market Place. There you will find gifts for the entire family, including:
earings:
BBQ aprons:

I had to throw this in. A friend of mine sent me what we each agree was the cutest Howl-O-Ween costume of the season. Enjoy!
Pet Products Review - Solid Gold Green Cow Tripe Canned Dog Food.
If you're like me, and the 80's were your most formidable years, say Solid Gold. What immediately comes to mind?
It was a Saturday night ritual. You'd count down the top ten with Rick Dees or Dionne Warwick and vicariously watch your favorite dancer bust out the moves. Oh those were the days.
Now.... Solid Gold has taken on a different meaning; high quality all natural pet pet food. I'm always on the look out for premium all natural food that is enjoyably tasty. Since I'm one of the 1% of people who likes eating tripe, I thought, hey "let's try it". The Solid Gold Green Cow Tripe Canned Dog Food certainly had a distinctive aroma but the consistency was perfect to mix in with dry kibble. Well, my dog Champ really liked this product. He ate everything.
It's important to me when Champ finishes his entire bowl. It makes me feel good. I also feel good when I buy a premium product at $2.59 per 13.2oz can that it is enjoyed while part of at least 2 meal servings. So I do recommend this product.
Since cans are heavy to carry around, I recommend ordering them online from an eRetailer like www.petfooddirect.com, or direct from the Solid Gold. When you order, ask them if there really are such creatures as green cows.

Sometimes a blogger has to turn the spot light over to the experts. I loved this video by Amy. She did such a great job of not only introducing fun and easy costumes for your pets, but also the sweetest puppies who are looking for a home.
My favorites were the pitbull and the puppy.
Pet Products Review - Z-Ridge Natural Edible Dental Chew Bone
As you read my blog, you'll start to realize that my dog's dental health is very important to me. Seriously, it should be for every pet owner. Could you imagine going around your whole life having never brushed, flossed or gargled? I can't imagine getting started on my day without brushing my teeth.
I'm always on the look out for the pet product that can help mitigate plaque, tartar and bad breath for both my cat and my dog. Problem is, most of these products are very expensive and not well favored by my pets. With that I went to Wiskers Holistic Pets in New York City (one of the best pets stores in the world), and splurged on the Z-Ridge Natural Edible Dental Chew Bone by Zukes.
I liked the fact that this product was made with carrots and other all natural ingredients. The chlorophyll helps keep my dog Champ's breath sweet and fresh, and the beta carotene I am sure does something good too. Plus, I tasted the bone myself in the store first. I personnally found the flavor a bit overwhelming of carrots, and a bit sweet, but certainly not offensive.
Here's the problem; Champ doesn't like this bone. He does like carrots, this I know, especially expensive baby carrots that come pre-peeled. So, what could be the problem? I am thinking that because the real carrots are served crispy and cold, straight from the fridge they offer something pleasant to crunch. The dental chew bone, just sends a mixed message, like "hey, I'm a bone, but I taste like a carrot."
Important lesson to be learned here. When considering a treat, bone or dental chew that cost over $4 like the Zuke's product, bring your dog into the store with you. What may taste fine to you, well simply isn't the "carrot on a stick" for your pet. I was hoping for a bone that would scape and clean my dog's teeth, not my wallet.
