Pet Product Review -Hartz Maximum Protection Puppy Pads 50 count
So the battle of the puppy training pads continues. Lucky for all of us my puppy, Charlie enthusiastically loves to pee, and get rewarded for going on the pads. Today's test:Hartz Maximum Protection Puppy Pads.
Hartz Living Puppy Training Pads for Dogs and Puppies are made with an absorbent polymer and cotton fluff which allows the pads to absorb moisture and odor with no mess. These pads are specially designed to absorb moisture fast and dry to the touch to prevent leaking and tracking. The Hartz training pads are made with plastic backing and tear resistant materials to provide strong protection for your floors and ensure easy disposal. I'm relying on these pads not just for house breaking Charlie, but also extended stays indoors, traveling, and our picnics in the park. They are excellent for senior and ill dogs too.
All in all they work. I think they work just as well as all the other brands. The price is in line with what I've seen $15.50 for a 50 count bag. I bought my bag of Hartz Maximum Protection Puppy Pads at Walgreens. But you can buy them at Amazon for the same price:

Pet Products Review - Flexi Retractable leash for Cats
So ever think about taking your cat for a walk. I'm sure they'd like it. But it just seems so unnatural. Mostly because up until now there have not been any products, leashes or even harnesses to take your feline for a promanade.
Well finally Flexy the world's leader in reliable well constructed retractable leashes hass developed a retractable leash just for cats.
The leash extends up to 10 feet and has two buttons right by the thumb that operate teh lock and secure the brake.
I used the leash with my cat stinky. It did take a while. At first we went only in the hallway of my building, but then I took him to the vet for his annual physical and vaccinations and used it as a back up to his crate. It felt nice to have that extra protection should he get loose.
But I do have some hesitations about this leash. Cats are very unpredictable, so I guess I cannot recommend walking your cat. That's the first, Next, you need to have a harness. If you don't have a harness, forget about it. Also have patience. This is something you would use after attempting to walk your cat in a small room for months. Don't have high expectations up front. Drs. Foster and Smith have harnesses and the leash for about $19. You can buy one at: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=19954 They come in pink and black.

Pet Products Review -Finny Pet Products Leash Light
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. And thats what I think of Finy Pet Products Leash Light. Today, I heard sunset is going to be at 8:12pm. What that means is that there is even more time to get outdoors with you best mate and take cherished walks longer and later than before. But, don't get caught too far away, and then be in the dark. Remember, not only are people and pets walking later, so are cyclists, motorists and rollerbladers. With all of this warm weather congestion, you need a Finny Pet Products Leash Light.
Finny Pet Products Leash Light is an attachable flashlight that adheres to any Flexi brand extendable leash with super strong velcro. Light, portable and adds saftey. I think its a good product and at only $7.99 affordable. Buy yours on their site at:

Pet Products Review - DOOG All Weather Walkers Belt
You know what i love about April???? Summer is right around the corner! You know what I love about Summer, super long walks with my best bud, Champ on the beach and in the mountains or just on the city streets. There are days when we can walk for hours.
Well, the people at DOOG, which stands for Dog Owners Outdoor Gear sent me a sample of their professional All Weather Dog Walkers Belt. Did they read my mind or what? This is a beautiful and practical gift. What the DOOG All Weather Walkers Belt comprises is a waist pack style belt with multiple compartments. My immediate review is that I love the belt. The one that was sent to me was a cherry red color, but they also come in Black, Camo, Pastel Green and Polka Dot. The material is an indestructible nylon that has been treated with an antibacterial agent. There are compartments for treats, keys and money, and it comes fully loaded with two packs of waste bags. A loop is added to clip on your cell phone or iPod and there is a carabiner for hooking on leashes.
Now as much as i love the belt, I gave it to Champ's dog walker Cathy. Cathy was very grateful as she does use all of these features and walks dogs for about 3 hours a day. She did mention to me that she wished the front pouch was bigger as she carries a good sized baggie of treats for her dog, and she was concerned that the waste bags would run out in a day, and it might be very expensive to replace. She did say, however that the red styling, was a significant improvement from her 5 year old fanny pack.
All in all, if you're looking for a gift for yourself or for a dog lover, this one hits the spot. But, if you're a professional dog walker, you might want something that can accommodate bags, treats and many keys en masse.
Do check out this wonderful site and the bags which start at $40. http://www.doog.ashop.com.au
