Pet Product Review - Whisker Lickin's cat treats by Purina
Most cat lovers will attest to the adage that you cannot please all of the cats, all of the time. It's certainly true in our house of cats, especially when it comes to treat time.
The Cat Panel weighed in with their votes on Purina's Whisker Lickin's Crunch Lovers Tuna Flavor treats (5 Paw rating = Purrr-fect):
Indy - A princess forced to live with two slovenly step-brothers and who dislikes most treats - 5 Paws - she loves them!
Buddha - Not as serene as his name implies, into everything and likes most treats - 5 Paws - keeps finding where I've hidden them and tries desperately to open the container with his teeth
Braveheart - Our old battle-scarred veteran who keeps mostly to himself and likes some of the treats, some of the time - 5 Paws - devoured every crumb
My take: I like the fact that you can purchase these treats in a canister (as opposed to a pouch), so I can simply shake the canister when it's treat time instead of yelling all over the house like Ma Kettle. All-in-all, I'm happy when they're happy and Whisker Lickin's makes them all very happy!
You can find them in most stores that carry cat treats or you can purchase the 4 oz canister for $3.79 at: Petco.com

Pet Product Review - Nature's Best by Hill's Science Diet
I have this friend who is so darling. She works close to Grand Central Station in New York. If you're from New York City, you'll know this location is "sample city". Companies love to give out samples. With that over the course of a week collected for me and my pup Charlie over 20 boxes of daily sample packs of Nature's Best by Hill's Science Diet. What a doll.
Although I accepted them graciously, my pup is too young to have a diet that is changed around frequently. So I took the samples and in turn donated them to a local organization that saves and fosters stray cats and dogs in my neighborhood. With the economy the way it is, they are grateful for any donation.
I did, however ask Marta, the group organizer if she could help me out, and select just one dog and give him the Nature's Best by Hill's Science Diet for a straight 20 days. She obliged. Lucky for me all of the samples were Nature's Best Lamb & Brown Rice Dinner.
Well after the 20 days, Marta called me up and said that dog she was fostering had improved so significantly in such a fast time. Not only did he have more energy, but his coat was fluffy and had a nice shine to it, and he played at the dog run with more glee than before. I'm not sure, but I think the combination of superior dog food and some good home love did the trick.
Now there are many great quality dog foods out there, and many that are not so great. And each one will work differently on different dogs. So I like this product, but I do recommend you ask your vet or breeder what foods they recommend. Nature's Best pet food claims to be the only natural pet food clinically proven to provide complete, balanced nutrition. Go to their website for more details:

Pet Products Review -The Eat Slow Bowl from Greedy Pup
You know, when my dog Champ was sick many people came to me and shared their pet health conditions with me. I guess its an indirect way people tell you that they know what you're going through. Anyway, what i heard time and time again was that many dogs suffered from bloat. This is when too much air gets digested when eating. Its a particular problem with breeds that tend to gobble their food like Labradors. So, i started to look around for food bowls that helped mitigate fast gobbling. Many were just bowls with sticks in them, some not pretty at all. Then i found The Eat Slow Bowl from Greedy Pup:
What I like about this bowl is its pretty, and will look stylish in your kitchen, or wherever your dog dines. Also the knobs are not too obtrusive and don't stick out. It handles big kibble and small alike. The bowl won't skid as your dog eats up to 6 cups of food. The Eat Slow Bowl by Greedy Pup is 10.7 inches in diameter and dishwasher safe.
Look for your Eat Slow Bowl for only $28 at www.sitstay.com: http://www.sitstay.com/dog/supplies/servlet/product_10001_10001_90443_-1_Eat+Slow+Bowl_13318_38901

Best Feline Food - BFF Tuna & Bonito Be Mine Recipe (in Aspic)
This morning as I was checking out whats new in my local pet store, I saw that they were carrying a new brand of high protein wet cat food that I have never seen before. This new brand is called Best Feline Food or BFF for short.
Besides being a new brand that I hadn't seen, I looked at the ingredients, and surely it was very high quaility fish protein and saw nothing unnatural of suspicious in the ingredients panne. Upon getting home and giving my cat Stinky his new meal of tuna & bonito fish, I thought to myself this looks a lot like a premium brand I often buy called weruva. Well sure enough the brand a Weruva brand. This is a good thing. Weruva makes all of their food to human consumption standards and only with the best ingredients.
I applaud Weruva because I always thought their brand was difficult to pronounce and did not appeal to a younger pet owner. The packaging an message of Best Feline Food does. You can find single serve cans at your local pet stores wherever Weruva is sold.
