Training your puppy or adult dog







We had a great dog whistle but because of it being so little we lost it, with this dog whistle from Pet Vitalix, I don't have to worry about losing it because it comes with a lanyard.

I also like that it comes with a Pet ID-tag that just in case my dog gets loose someone will be able to get her back to me safe and sound.


I also love how it comes with an instruction guide. We even learned a few new things reading this.

It is never to late to teach an old dog new tricks.

Using a Retractable leash with Gentle Giant

First of all make sure you really do have a Gentle Giant, and two make sure you have a Gentle Leader which makes walking any strong dog much easier.

This is the only way I would ever use a retractable leash on our Saint Bernard. I have never seen a retractable leash that goes up to her weight and until we received this Cloud9 leash everyone broke on her regular collars, but once we put a gentle leader on her and then the leash we have had nothing but pleasure walking her. This gives her much more room with out putting much strain on myself of my husband.

I have Fibromyalgia and my husband's knee never healed all the way after his accident at work so we have had to change many things in our lives to accommodate our family, including  our furbabies. This leash give Princess a whole 16 feet as opposed to the 6 feet she would have on our regular leash. This makes it so we can stand on the porch on bad days while our Princess does her business. We don't get hurt and she gets a little extra freedom.

You can purchase the Cloud9 retractable leash on Amazon.

What Cloud9 has to say about their product.

JUST ANOTHER DAY WALKING THE DOG....
That is until he decides to bolt off after a squirrel, pulling the leash from your hand. So much for that walk, now it's a run, and not one your flip flops had planned for...
STAY IN CONTROL WITH CLOUD 9!
Let's face it, our pets can be a little crazy sometimes, especially outside where there are so many sights and smells for them to take in. The better your leash, the better your chances of being able to reign your pet in.
THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN
We bring the durability and comfort you've been craving with our ergonomic sure grip handle and ribbon style anti-tangle retractable nylon cord. It's a match made in heaven for you and your pet. Have confidence in your pet supplies with Cloud 9!
NEED BACK UP?
We've got you covered there too! Between our bonus ebook with tons of content for you and your fuzzy buddy and our lifetime replacement/money back guarantee, you're covered no matter what! It's for these reasons more people choose Cloud 9 for their pet walking needs, and we hope you will too! You'll be glad you did.

Pet Nail Clippers



One of the hardest parts about having pets is keeping up with their toenails. The kitties are easy to do, while our Saint Bernard we literally have to coax onto our king size bed and wrap her up to do her nails. She used to love having us do her nails, but she got hit a few years back and even though she didn't have any damage to her besides a sore paw she is a little defensive when it comes to us cutting her nails, 

She loves us when it is done but while it is being done we are not her favorite people. This is why having a pair of clippers that have a safety area so I don't over clip her nails is very important. I need to get them done fast. 

Paw two Paw and a few others on the market have this extra safety feature, but I have never seen a pair that come with a file, which my Saint does not mind me using. Go figure. I also like the locking clip so when they are not in use I don't have to worry about going through the pet grooming materials and risking a cut to myself. 

Great product that does what it says it will do safely.


You can purchase the Paw two Paw pet nail clippers on Amazon.


What  Paw two Paw has to say about their product.

 - Dog Nail Clipper comes in an ergonomic design, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip to greatly reduce the risk of injuries when cutting your pets claws. Never overcut again
 - Our Quality stainless steel won't rust but stay sharp for weekly use
 - Blades are shaped to fit your dogs different size claws. Comes with a nail file to soften and smooth the edges of the Nails. This is helpful particularly for older dogs who does not naturally file their nails while walking any longer
 - Clippers are specifically meant for trimming large and giant dog claws
 - 100% Satisfaction Guarantee - Lifetime Warranty

Glucosamine Joint Supplement for Dogs



 As my Saint Bernard ages she seems to have a little more stiffness in her joints so I try to give her some relief by providing Joint Supplements for her. I like that this is a liquid I just mix it in with her wet food and she gobbles it right up. If she didn't then my husband would do it the old fashioned way. He is really good with giving our animals their medicine. 

I am just glad that their are companies out there that make products that help me give my dog the best life she can have. She is a good dog and one that I want to live out her life to the fullest. I really like that each purchase gives back to animals in need.

Liquid Health K9 Glucosamine

Most of my readers know we have a Saint Bernard names Princess Goliath. With having a Saint we wanted to make sure she didn't have any hip problems so we were really careful with her the first two years of her life and have tried to maintain her health as much as possible by reading up on how to care for her as well as helping her age with grace. She is now almost 7 and has a life span of 9-11 years. 

With Liquid Healthy K9 Glucosamine I can add a little bit to her morning and night meal and know I am helping her stay healthy. The helps maintain her bones, connective tissues as well as joint structure and function.

When my fur baby is happy I am happy. She is my pal.

Liquid Health Fido Nutrients






have a large breed dog and with that can come joint and hip problems. We were very careful her two first years of life and have given her nutrients to help keep her healthy along the way. She is almost 7 now and has a life span of 9-11 so I am hoping she makes it all the way, but hoping on longer.

Taking care of a pet can be a challenge with so many options out there so knowing about your breed and what might come up during your time together with them is a great way to start finding out just what you will need or can do to keep your fur baby as healthy as possible.

Our Saint Bernard happens to be a picky eater she lives up to the name Princess Goliath well. We just add her supplement to her soft food and she gobbles it right down.

Washing your pets ears.





I really wish I had known about this years ago. We had a cat die prematurely I am sure from an ear mite problem. We tried everything including home remedies to help him. We even had a cone on his head for about 3 months so that his ears would heal, but as soon as we took it off he scratched at his ear until it was a bloody mess.

Dancing Pet Ear Wash is easy to use just put a little in your pets ears, massage the base of their ears and then let them shake what needs to come out. After take a cloth and wipe the inside of their ear flaps for a nice clean and protected ear.

I love my pets and want them to live a pain free life as long as they can. Washing my pets ears as well as brushing their teeth is a small price to pay for a happy pet.




You can purchase Dancing Pet Ear Wash on Amazon.

FurBuddy Pet Grooming Brush Kit





The first thing I would like to tell you about this product is that it comes in a easy open package and you can store your products back inside once open.

The FurBuddy Pet Grooming Brush Kit is a 4 - in - 1 tool which pretty much takes care of your pets grooming needs in one purchase. We have two of these so that we can brush a few of our animals at the same time.

Currently we have a Saint Bernard, a Samao, 5 cats as well as a beta fish.
Except for the fish that means lots of fur to take care of. I really like the Slicker Brush because it has a button that pushes up the fur so I don't have to dig it out with my fingers.

I also like how easily this is to change out in between uses so you can go from one thing to the next with little time. Our cats love the slicker brush the most while our dogs, furniture and vacuum like the shedding tool the best.
