Happy New Year Pet Journal readers! Hope you had happy holidays and a great start to your New Year. As we head into January and farther into Winter, I wanted to review some Winter related products to help you and your pet endure the cold.
Allied Pet Bowl: Every pet needs access to clean fresh water. Cold winters here in Wisconsin, however, can quickly turn that bowl of water into a solid ice chunk, leaving outdoor pets with nothing to drink. Snow, even though plentiful, isn't a source of water. Not only will some pets not eat snow, but snow can be up to 95% air, leaving your pet to eat enourmous amounts just to stay hydrated. Allied has added a heated pet bowl to their product linup. A built in thermostat heats the bowl keeping water ice free. Cord chew protecter, nontip design, durable plastic. 1 quart capacity for small to medium dogs and cats. $17.99
Safe Paw Ice Melter: Conventinal salt can take a nasty toll on dogs paws. I've seen our dog's paws, normally very tough, get raw, swollen, and bloody from just playing out in the salty street. Friends dogs have had the same problems, their salted driveway causing their dogs discomfort and constant paw licking. Safe Paw is an environmentally friendly, pet and child safe, salt free ice melter, that REALLY works. Safe to use on decking, asphalt, concrete, pavers, plants, shrubs, metal and won't stain or destroy flooring if tracked inside. 8lb easy pour container. $15.99
K&H Lecro: Outdoor pets in winter need a place to warm up on those extra cold days. A soft warm bed sounds nice, doesn't it? K&H Lecro is a comfortable, heated pet bed which heats to a soothing 102F degrees, keeping pet warm and cozy on even he coldest days. Also great for that indoor pet who likes to lounge outside but gets cold. Outdoor/indoor, chew resistant cord, fleece cover and a 1 year warranty. Small, Medium, Large: $34.99, $54.99, $81.99
TUF-FOOT: Dogs paws take a lot of abuse in Winter. From the hard icy ground and numbing cold, to the dry houses, it's amazing they can go barefoot. Sometimes, though, they need a little care and protection. TUF-FOOT heals cuts and tenderness, protects soft and tender pads, prevents cracking, and toughens his paws to whatever Winter can throw at them. 8oz, $14.99
Hope you enjoyed this month's products, as always thanks for reading and oh, Happy 2015!
