The Instant Trainer for Dog Owners (Review and Giveaway)

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Amy Beth Marantino #666!!

Did you know that over 78 million dogs are owned in the US and 39% of all US households own at least one dog. That means there are more households with dogs than kids! Crazy, huh? I thought so!

So, chances are, YOU are a doggie owner :) I was not, for the longest time. Sure my MIL had canines, but me, nah. Too much work. I have two kids who keep me busy enough and now that I am 7 months pregnant, heck no! But that all changed and I had NO say in the matter, neither did my family, really…

You see, one morning we woke up and there was this dog on our porch. The kids went outside, and he feverishly played with my children. He would NOT go home. He stayed the night on our deck and in the morning greeted us eagerly. Sigh. I knew he belonged to my neighbors as my neighbor use to bring him by and go on walks with him. So, we talked to the neighbor. Come to find out “Jack” the beloved canine who claimed us as his new family, his owner passed away! :( So sad! So, the doggie was intrigued with our family and my kids and decided this is where he wants to live now.

We talked to the neighbor and she gave us all of his paperwork and told us of his history and soon, he was ours, GULP! Jack is a rat terrier (I think that is what they said) and he is very loyal to us already. He loves us so much and has nothing but kisses for us whenever we see him! Seriously, how on earth could we turn away a dog that picked US to be HIS family. He knows we are good people, he could sense it, so he chose US. That melted my heart… So, yes, we now own a canine. We are part of the 39% of all US households own at least one dog ;)

Now that you know our story, I was sent my first doggie review product to try out on our new boy, Jack. It is the Instant Trainer For Dog Owners.  The Instant Trainer Leash uses gentle but firm resistance to discourage dogs, large and small, from pulling, helping to transform even the most hyper dogs into perfect walkers.

In addition, the leash:
•    Attaches to any collar to help give owners complete control over their dog, or makes it easier to walk multiple
dogs with confidence.
•    Is veterinarian and dog trainer approved
•    Is available online for $19.99 plus shipping & handling
•    Comes in two sizes, for dogs under 30 lbs and dogs over 30 lbs

People love their pets and dogs are no exception. If you’re trying to teach your children responsibility this holiday season, but have felt uneasy about their ability to walk the dog on their own, then the Instant Trainer Dog Leash is the gift you have been waiting for! So, perfect for your pet and child!!

Jack did pretty well on the Instant Trainer. He is six years old and already knows how to behave, but he can still get obnoxious around people. He likes to run away and jump up on people :) The Instant Trainer was a bit confusing at first, but after I read the directions really carefully, I was able to get the hang of it and now it is simple to use. Just read the directions first!!! Also, watching the above video will give you more of an idea of what exactly the Instant Trainer Leash can do.

Bo Regards: Protect Your Pets Wall Plaques (Review/Giveaway)

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Myra Rzepa #212

When something bad happens in your home, like a fire, I am sure you and your family have planned out escape routes to safety, mapped out, right? But would about your pets? Do they have anyone to help them?

Bo Regards helps protect your dear pets with a pet wall plaque. It is a beautifully crafted wall plaque that is fire resistant and alerts rescue workers in an event of a fire. The plaque is 8.5″ X 8.5″ with 3 finishes to choose from and can help save your pets life!

The plaque can easily be mounted to the inside or outside of a wall or door; it can also be screwed onto the exterior of your home. Bo Regards, Inc. is a family corporation that was created to develop visual aids for firefighters and emergency personnel to alert them of the occupancy of a very important and often overlooked member of our families, our precious pets!

After all, wouldn’t you WANT to save something THIS cute….??

I received a wall plaque for my mother-in-law who raises and shows pugs, so she has her hands full with those little precious balls of fur. If anything should ever happen to her home, she feels good about having a visual for the authorities to glance at, to let them know there are dogs in her home, so please help them out! She mounted the plaque on the outside of her home, right by her front door. This way, it will not be missed!

The plaque is lightweight but made durably. It is a nice home decor piece and fits nicely with my mother-in-laws home.  It is easy to mount on a wall and comes with wall mount screws.

Pet-zzz-pad Review! A Warm Spot For Pets

I have grown up with dogs all around me, cats, bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, goats, pigs, you name it, we have had them! Love animals, they just seem to make the world a sweeter place, besides my beloved children of course! If I can make my animals a little more comfy, then I am going to do it.

I had the opportunity to review a product called Pet-zzz-pad. This is a heated pad, kind of like  a heating pad that humans use, but not exactly. You see, the Pet-zzz-pad is made for small animals and it only heats up when your beloved animal is sitting/laying on it. When your pet gets off of it, it turns off! Sweet, huh? I thought so :)

I decided to let, Lisa Marie, my brothers sweet little Pomeranian try this out for size. She is tiny and fragile, and so this pet pad fit her perfectly. At first, she was a bit nervous as to what on earth this could be, but soon, she was nestled up on it relaxing with the family! It only takes a few minutes to get the Pet-zzz-pad to warm up and once it does, Lisa did not want to get off of it! It was so funny!

See? Doesn’t she look comfy??? It matches her fur, the pet pad, so you have to look closely to see it…

Here is what is looks like without Lisa nestled on it…

This is NOT made for  humans, so don’t use it like this…

A Bit About Pet-zzz-pads:

Since our furry friends normal body temperature is 102 degrees, does not mean they still don’t need a warm spot to curl up on. This is great for pets with muscle or joint pain. Helps eleviate some of their discomforts.

Pet-zzz-pad heats up to 102 degrees for pets year round. It is a moldable mat that helps keep pets comfortable. This is really great for new puppies and kittens!

Celebrity Mischa Burton uses this for her dogs. It retails for only $19.99 and up to $39.99, depending on what size you would need. It is available at PETCO stores and online.

Some Features Worth Mentioning:

  • American Kennel Club & Cat Fanciers Association branded
  • Cord is protected in a steel chew resistant casing
  • Pad is water-resistant & wipes clean
  • Fits almost any bed with radiating warmth
  • Cover can be machine washed & dried
  • Heats to the vet recommended perfect temperature of 102 degrees

So, we, well Lisa Marie, really likes her new warm Pet-zzz-pad. She actually growls when we get near it, like when she eats, LOL! It is hilarious, I should capture that on video for you all to see!!! The zippered cover that covers the pet pad comes off for easy cleaning, can be washed and dried!! Then zips right back on.
