Chilly Dog Sweaters for a Cat

Chilly Dog Sweaters Review

Since Duke really is too large to fit many items, I have resorted to dressing up Jax. :) He really does get cold during our winters and I am always on the lookout for high quality sweaters that will keep him warm.

The first sweaters that I have found that I am actually really happy with the quality are Chilly Dog Sweaters. These hand knit sweaters are very thick, compared to many sweaters I have seen. They also come in many pretty colors and patterns. I choose a green sweater that looks great on Jax. It fits well and if he was a dog, is high cut enough to allow male dogs to go potty.

I will note that these sweaters are available in sizes up to xxx-large, so while I haven't tried, I think one might fit Duke.

I would give this sweater a 5 out of 5 stars and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality, warm sweater for their dog or cat.

Purchase chilly dog sweaters.

GoDog Tough Balls with Chew Guard from Sherpa

GoDog Tough Balls by Sherpa Review

Duke is not a chewer, but he likes to destroy toys. He has no interest in chewing on things he is supposed to (or not supposed to for that matter), rather he likes to take plush toys and tear them apart. He will slowly rip off the tails, ears, and noses; eventually he rips it open and takes out all of the stuffing. I am always looking for durable plush dog toys that he can't destroy shortly after getting them. I came across the GoDog Tough Balls while looking for other dog toys and they came highly recommended as a durable dog toy.

I bought one for Duke, and so far after a few months it still has all of its body parts and its stuffing. Not only are these toys durable, but they are also very cute!

I give the GoDog Tough Balls with Chew Guard by Sherpa a 5 out of 5 stars.

World's Best Cat Litter


World's Best Cat Litter Review


I have heard of world's best cat litter before but wasn't sure I wanted to switch to it because I didn't know of anyone that used it and I was relatively happy with the cat litter I was using. I went to a pet expo about 2 months ago and World's Best was there as a vendor. I was impressed by the talk they gave to me and though, why not try it. I also got a free coupon- so it was at no cost to me!


I should start by saying, the cat box is not hidden away right now, and is a pretty high traffic area, so smell control was a top priority.


Pros: I love the way it clumped both the feces and the urine. It was easy to clean the box as the urine even got clumped so I could through that away too! It is supposed to be really good for the environment- it is made out of corn! One bag lasts a while as all the excrement is scooped out. My cat didn't have any problem switching to it.


Cons: Expensive, even if one bag lasts a while. It did nothing to stop the smell. While I would normally smell it right away he went, it would disappear after a while with his old litter, with this litter it was constant smelling, even after I cleaned it and he went once. It was bad.


I give this product 1 out of 5 stars. This is solely because of the smell. I can't keep using it and having people come into my house. If you have the box in a back room it may be good for you.

Bessie & Barnie Bagel Dog Bed

Do you have a big dog like me and are looking for a high quality dog bed that would fall apart shortly after using it?

I recently got a size x-large (60" in diameter) Bessie & Barnie bagel bed in rosebud fur brown in! These beds are huge and soft and comfortable!

Pros: Large, Soft, Comfortable.

Cons: Nothing

These beds are custom made when ordered, so they they take a little while longer, but are worth it!

I give this bed a 5 out of 5 stars

Up Country Dog Collar- Blue Modern Dots

Up Country Dog Collar review


I used to think that a dog collar was a dog collar. It wasn't until I received a personalized dog collar for Christmas a few years ago that I really cared about Duke's collar. While I still love the that collar it is getting a little new and time to find a new one. I recently bought a comfortflex limited slip collar to use when going to for walks and taking him to the bathroom. You can read my comfortflex limited slip collar reivew on this blog also.

But as his personalized collar was getting older, I needed to start looking for a new collar. I have heard so many good things about the Up Country dog collars, but again thought, a dog collar is a dog collar.
When I was wrong. These collars are beautiful. You can actually tell just by looking at them that they are made with higher quality materials. They look stunning. Not only are they beautiful, but they are well put together.

Pros: very well put together, beautiful, high quality, lots of designs to choose from.

Cons: Nothing.
I give this product a 5 out of 5 stars.

Why the TreatStik?

Teaching your dog how to use the TreatStik?

· There are two sizes- small and large- so make sure you choose one that is appropriate for your dog.

· Fill the toy with treats or kibble.
· The item that you choose to fill the TreatStik with must fit through the oval hole.
· Place it on the floor and push it so the treats fall out.
· If your dog struggles with using it, put peanut butter on it to encourage them to play with it.

Paw Lickers Dog Treats

Paw Lickers Dog Treats Review

I am always looking for different dog treats that Duke likes because he is very picky when it comes to his treats.

I had a chance to get a box of the Paw Lickers Dog Treats in the assorted variety. They are a combination of

He really does like these treats. There are some flavors (I can’t tell for most which is which) that he likes better than others, but I have now boughten these 3 times- which is a good thing for him!

Pros: Lots of variety, with all the different varieties, in one box he gets many different choices. All natural with no by products or preservatives

Cons: Small box. No option to choose which flavors.

I give this product a 5 out of 5 stars.
