Dog hacks
Pick up a shower cap for your pup or pups and let them wear it during their bath…it really helps prevent the soap and water from getting into their ears and eyes. Then when it is time to wash their little faces…just pop it off! Just make sure to put it out of reach when you are done…we don’t want any chewing going on : )

With the warm weather here…I bet your pup would love a Frozen Treat Cake while you are all hanging outside for a bit! Come and check out Gus the Pug and his cake…see how it is made (really simple..broth…water…toys and some treats all frozen together! ) There is a little video that shows us Gus attacking his little fun iceberg. This will keep your pup cool as you enjoy the outdoors and hydrated!
*** Practically Functional ***
Have you ever thought about recycling a tire? Well you just might give it a try once you see this DIY Dog Bed! Pretty amazing what a good scrubbing…some PET SAFE Paint that sticks to rubber and a soft cushy pillow can do! You can find the details on Practically Functional! Isn’t Fawkes adorable! : )

Do you have a doggie that gulps? Eats so fast he/she has no idea what it was that they ate? Well have you ever tried to put a tennis ball into the Dry Food Bowl (don’t try it for wet food : ). With the ball in the bowl it should slow down your pup a bit which will be a very good thing for digestion. Give it a try…just might be the trick. There are also dishes made especially for gulpers…but this is a quick and easy way to see if it works…then if it does…it may pay to get a specialty bowl.
*** Dog Tutorial ***
Does your pup have a touch of stinky breath? You can finely chop some fresh parsley and add it to your doggies food…dry…wet or homemade! Just chop it fine enough so they can’t pick it out…mix it well and it should help. Over at Dog Tutorial you will find other methods to keep your dogs breath fresh like keeping your dog bowl and water bowl…crystal clean…having a well balanced diet and some other wonderful suggestions. If your doggie suffers from really bad breath…the best thing to do is to see the Vet to assess exactly what is happening! But Parsley is a great way to freshen it up and you can do it every day with no problems!
