Cats love Catnip
It is no secret that cats love and enjoy sniffing and playing with catnip. One thing you can always count on is catnip for your kitty. Catnip is a smell good plant that comes from the mint family. Catnip is from Africa, Europe and Asia but can now be found all over North America. Did you know that there are more than 250 species of catnip in the world today. Catnip can grow up to two to three feet with heart shaped leaves. Now if that is not a sign that cats love catnip I do not know what will. Catnip can sprout in multiple different colors like purple, pink and white flowers. When cats smell catnip they will paw at it, rub it or roll all in it. Can make a mess but it’s all worth it to see the joy on your kitty’s face. Some cats can get really strong reactions to it and get frisky, drool and ever purr more than usual.

We all want our car seats to be protected from scratches and furr
Do you enjoy driving around with your dog or cat in the backseat of your car? So do many others. One thing I think we all can agree on is we do not enjoy our furry animal’s hair left over on the backseats of our cars. This does not mean we love our animals any less, we just don’t want our pets left over hair everywhere just like we don’t enjoy our own hair hanging around all over our houses. Having a backseat cover on our cars protects the car from so many more things than just hair. Maybe your dog isn’t feeling so well or gets car sick(its possible) and throws up all over your precious backseat. Having your protector can block your nice leather seats from the mess. Get yourself one of these covers, you will not ever regret this decision. They are machine washable which is just a bonus. It can also make an amazing gift for any of your family members or friends who are animal lovers.

Cat Tree Scratcher
A cat tree provides a great outlook for your cat to both exercise and relieve stress. The varying heights and perches are great for climbing, stretching, and providing the means for your cat to stay active. The rough texture of a scratching post is perfect for your cat’s scratching needs, and a much better alternative than your own furniture. Place the post in an area that your cat already spends a lot of his time in, preferably close to his favorite sleeping or resting area, and he will feel right at home. Don’t force the cat to use the post (putting his paws on it for example). Give him time to check it out on his own, and within no time you’ll find that it has become his favorite place to be. By giving your cat his own furniture, you’ll find that he will thrive in the comfort of your home, without any of the negative consequences a cat can wreak on “your” furniture!

Dogs Like Style, Too!
Just as we like to look good when we go out, so do our dogs. Your dog will be so proud to be styling these good-looking rain shoes, he won’t even mind the rain. And there are so many benefits to the shoes, on top of the styling. If your dog doesn’t like to have wet feet (and therefore won’t go out in the room), these shoes will solve that problem. When the walk is over, you won’t have to deal with the mess that comes from wet, dirty paws on your floors and carpets. Just pull the shoes off before entering the house, and you’ll have perfectly dry paws! A win/win and a must have in several colors to satisfy your dog’s every mood!

We all need a good teeth scrubbing
You may not think it or realize it, but even our animals need to be well taken care of and carefully groomed. Hygiene is very important for all, including animals. I know that before I owned my first animal I had no idea he needed to have his teeth brushed. We all knew he had bad breath, but we thought that was just the way it was with dogs. It turns out that just as healthy teeth are an important factor in our health, so it is with our dogs. It is recommended that you start brushing your dog’s teeth when they are a puppy, so that they not only get used to it, but actually begin to like it. Their teeth should be brushed a minimum of three times a week (at least it’s less than our 2-3 times a day), and will go a long way toward ensuring maximum dental health!
