Time for your Fat Feline to get Fit!

Over 58% of all cats are obese!   How can you get your cat in better shape?   Check out the Why Weight Pledge and listen to the Best Bets for Pets interview with  Karena and Katrina from Tone It UP.  
The second part of the show is all about great products from Smarty Kat for exercising your tubby tabby.

This is The Dennis........when I told him it's diet time!  Yeah, those big innocent eyes don't work for me.  My biggest challenge with Dennis?  Keeping him out of the dog food and cabinets.   Those claws of his are great for doing damage to a bag of dog food!   And he is VERY good about opening cabinets.  One smart cat!  Soon to be one svelte cat!

Cesar Millan Training Cesar's Way Dog Psychology Center at Country Inn Pet Resort & Animal Hospital

Very exciting interview with Cesar Millan!!  We were invited to the Training Cesar's Way (TCW) Dog Psychology Center to observe the first class and the dog whisperer himself, Cesar Millan!  The TCW Dog Psychology Center is the FIRST one on the east coast of the US and is located at the beautiful Country Inn Pet Resort & Animal Hospital (CIPRAH)!  Take a look at pics of the event.  Listen to interviews with people and trainers from the class, Monica Silva, owner of CIPRAH and with Cesar Millan here:  Cesar Millan, Class and Monica Silva Interview.  Below are pics of the event.  Interested in attending a TCW Dog Psychology Center class?  Contact the Country Inn Pet Resort & Animal Hospital .

Below is Cesar at his best!  This woman's dog was very anxious and excitable anytime a motorcycle was near.  And she lives in an area high populated with cycles.  When the dog first hear the motorcycle, he went crazy!  After some coaching from Cesar, the dog owner changed her behaviors, which lead to the dog changing his behaviors!   This all occurred within a matter of a few minutes.   You can see how calm the dog is in the pictures below.  He is barely glancing at the motorcycle!

Simply the BEST way to brush your dog's teeth

OK, pet parents, who out there actually likes to brush your dog's teeth?  Brushing your dog's teeth is very important, but I don't think anyone likes it....not the dog or the pet parent!  Then.....along comes Zututh .   

This is not your ordinary doggy toothbrush.  It was developed by Dr. Dugan, an oral surgeon and has a unique feature for dogs.  Want to learn the most important  place to brush your dog's teeth......listen to Best Bets for Pets' interview with Dr. Dugan . 

And for those pet parents with, umm, sensitive (timid) dogs......Mr. Z and Nicky both tried Zututh electronic tooth brushes.  They were actually calmer than anticipated.  Mr Z is usually not patient with vibrating things in his mouth (who is?) , but he was OK with Zututh. 

Decorate your Pet!!

Just when you thought you really had heard of everything.....along comes Pet Paint!   At first I thought, what the #@!%^!!?  But, well, why not?  We already dress and shoe our canine friends.  And, though I am not a ig fan of this, pooch carriages are very popular.  So why not paint them? 
Pet Paint, developed  by Abe Geary, is perfectly safe for most dogs.  (Please keep in mind, that just like people, there are some dogs that are very sensitive to products that are on their skin.)  This product is sort of like a colored hairspray for dogs.
Besides adding some GLAM to your fur baby, Pet :Paint has also been used to aid in pet adoption, cheer the ill (decorating dogs that visit children in hospitals) and even for marriage proposals!
Mr. Z, the fur dude on my test crew tried out pet paint.  since i used pink, he refused to take a pic.  But, I have to say, he looked good!  Here are some pics from the Pet Paint website. www.petpaint.com

Celebrating Memorial Day Best Bets for Pets style!

I have a fantastic interview that was just posted on Pet Life Radio Americas Vet Dogs and Bil Jac.  I was so fortunate to learn all the cool things Bil-Jac does with America's Vet Dogs.  I also spoke to Joe Worley, a disabled vet about his involvement  with America's Vet dogs, what it means to have a working dog and more.  PLEASE go to the Facebook page for https://www.facebook.com/VetDogsProducts  and "LIKE" them.  they will provide free treats to Vet's Dogs, for up to 1500 "LIKES".  You can also request a coupon for the tasty (Mr Z and Nicky love em) Vet Dogs treats.
