Feel So Good

The holiday season can be a stressful time for people and their pets. The go-to remedy for us is Rescue Remedy.There is an alcohol-free formula for pets and kids. Adults have calming choices from chewing gum, pastilles, sprays and Sleep-Melts to melt away stress naturally.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For travel, moves, noisy parties and new pets, nothing beats Comfort-Zone Feliway plugins and spray to prevent behavioral issues. The natural calming pheromone is a holiday season must have. Our friends at Entirely Pets have the lowest prices.

Play SO Good!

Despite trying oodles of toys we rely on few favorites like Neko Flies and a one new one we’re excited about from Pioneer Pets. The Kitty-go-Round may look familiar but this one is motorized to keep cats playing. We’re currently testing their new multi-level hanging scratcher is brilliant for apartments or homes where you don’t want to drill holes in the wall.

For the best interactive fun and slow feeders, we love everything from Aikiou

Sleep So Good!

 

All cats will hope Santa has this bed in his sack. New from K & H Pet Products the cozy, self-warming Kitty Sack is purrfect for cold winter nights. Look for our Kitty Sack giveaway on Black Friday!

Neko has cozy new cat beds called Neko Nappers and they’re the cat’s meow for snug snoozing.

 

 

Travel SO Good!

SleepyPod is a new way for pets to snooze and travel in comfort.

Bergan Pet offers a cool new auto-safety harness for car travel. We love it as an alternative to transporting cats in a carrier.

 

Sturdipet.com offers safe and stylish ways to travel. We’re crazy about their new double-decker carriers offering lots of room for two cats.

New “Snow Cat” the 2013 Muse Medallion winner for best black and white photography features our Odin.

No matter what you end up buying as gifts, remember the best gift is the gift of friendship, of spending time with those you love, whether they have two legs or four.
