Solvit Waterproof Hammock Lets You Drive Your Dog Around While Keeping The Backseat Clean

Paw prints, scratches and lots of stray fur. That’s the only appropriate way to describe your car’s backseat when you regularly give your dogs a ride in them. Transport the pooch cleanly with the Solvit Waterproof Hammock, a hanging bed for pets designed to keep your entire backseat area clean.
Essentially, it’s like putting a roof over that whole section. Any fleas, fur or dirt that would have found its way to your precious upholstery will stay on the sling instead. Of course, it also renders the backseat unusable for anyone but your dogs, but if you’re not traveling with anyone else, it sounds like a feasible solution.
The Solvit Waterproof Hammock is made from heavy-gauge polyester and measures 56 x 59 inches. It’s got edge trimming for better strength, four adjustable straps designed to attach to the cabin’s front and rear headrests, and two Sta-Put [...]

BioPet DNA Breed ID Kit Finds Out Your Dog’s Ancestry Like CSI

You’ve long had suspicions that the mixed breed dog you rescued from the pound came from the unholy union of a mini-pincher and a lion.

Now, you can verify with BioPet Vet Lab’s DNA Breed Identification Kit, which lets you trace your pet’s familial origins like you’re in an episode of CSI.

At the least, it’s a cool story to tell about your dog the next time you’re using him to pick up girls in the park.

The DNA Breed Identification Kit contains all the stuff you need to [...]

Dog Mansions: Because Some Dogs Have All The Luck

Living in a three-bedroom apartment doesn’t mean you can’t fool your dog into thinking he lucked out and got adopted into a wealthy home. Make the mutt feel like a million bucks by setting him up with a Dog Mansion from Best Friend’s Home, who build handmade dog houses styled like rich people’s abode.
Sure, your dog can always live in a ragtag box your 12-year old put together for shop class last year like he’s ghetto or something. But when he grows up and joins a gang like his father, you can only blame yourself. These Dog Mansions will not only give him roof and shelter, it will fill him with the confidence he needs to become a model member of society. Who just happens to sleep all day and munch on furniture like his life depended on it.

Your Dog Is Stressed? Get Them A Relaxing Therapy At The Canine Oxygen Cell

Despite how it looks like, they don’t cook dogs in that facility.  Nor is it a washing machine for your furry pets.   It is, in fact, a Canine Oxygen Cell  from Air Press, a luxury equipment where dogs can receive oxygen therapy – you know, where they get to breathe real fresh air.
Why, in heaven’s name, would dogs need a “fresh air machine”?  According to Air Press, regular oxygen therapy will help the animals relax.  Relax from what, of course, I have no idea.  The stress of all these strange humans fawning over them and cleaning up their poopoo?  Really?

The pictured Canine Oxygen Cell is available in Wag Style, a dog salon in the heart of Tokyo, where doting owners can take their favorite animals to get their hairs trimmed, their nails cut and their…uhm… lungs cleaned.  While there, they can spend 30 minutes at a time on Air Press’ [...]

Pet Airways: First Class Air Travel For Dogs And Cats

Despite the ongoing worldwide recession, luxury products and services continue to pop up in some way, shape or form.  There are, apparently, plenty of folks still moneyed enough to keep that market segment going.   The luxury, of course, often go beyond just the rich folks, with the conveniences extending to their beloved pets as well.
The latest in animal-pampering excesses is Pet Airways, the world’s first pets-only airline.  While it sounds more like a deleted scene from Beverly Hills Chihuahua than an actual real-world offering, the company really does provide first-class travel experiences exclusively for animals.
Discouraged by the transport options available for animals during flights (either sedating them or leaving them in cargo), founding partners Dan and Alysa Binder started the company as a service to pet-lovers everywhere.  All pets are afforded utmost care during each trip (including scheduled potty breaks) and will be housed in comfortable carriers inside climate-controlled cabins.
