Made with real vegetables, these chew treats pack in plenty of healthy supplements such as antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and essential fatty acids for your health-conscious pooch.

Our dogs need a little comfort food sometimes, too. But just like humans, polishing off that pie can lead to extra heft in the haunches. Natural Choice Healthy Desserts has the answer—for canines at least—with its new tasty treats in Apple Torte, Berry Cobbler, Carrot Cake, and Pumpkin Crumble. Each three-ounce can is chock-full of real fruits and whole grains, contains no added sugar, and has only 100 calories per serving.
Kaycee’s LifeBowl
($15-20)

www.SafetyObediencePetProducts.com
Everyone knows it is bad manners to gulp down your food. But for some dogs, aggressive eating can be dangerous. It can lead to bloat, a life-threatening condition for canines that can cause the stomach to fill with air, flip, and cut off the animal’s blood supply. Enter Kaycee’s LifeBowl. Inspired by Kaycee the Irish Setter’s real-life encounter with the condition, the LifeBowl’s specially designed handle helps slow fast eaters and reduces risk.

It’s early morning, you’ve just gotten out of bed, you step into the hall, and then you feel it. Puke. On the bottom of your foot. While you run off to clean your foot and grab a mop to clean the floor, make sure unsuspecting family members don’t fall victim to the same fate by placing this clever and campy cat-vomit caution sign over the mess. No one can miss this one-foot-high, bright yellow marker. Not only will you save your family’s feet from hairball horror, you’ll get a good laugh as well.
