Doggy sleepovers are a thing. You know how human kids have sleepovers? Yeah, well, the same thing exists for dogs! Maybe you’re pet sitting a friend’s dog, or your dog is staying the night at someone’s house. Whatever the case may be, there are many benefits of doggy sleepovers. They are actually great training tools, even if no one really “needs” their dog to stay at another’s house. Let’s explore why sleepovers can be so great for dogs.
My Incredible Bond With Leila
Almost exactly four years ago, my heart cat Edison ran away. I admit that I still haven’t fully gotten over the loss, and I’m not sure I ever will. But last year I finally found myself searching for another cat. I wanted to throw a kitten into the mix so I could raise him or her around my other animals. For a while I contemplated adopting a kitten from AAWL, my favorite animal rescue organization. Then one random Wednesday afternoon I saw a Facebook post from my friend Stephanie. A friend of hers had found a baby Siamese kitten (who had been rescued from a car engine bay) that needed a home. When I saw the photos, I knew she was the one. She was what I had been waiting so long for. Not even five hours later, Leila was home with me, and I fell in love instantly.

Debunking Pet Food Myths: Are Byproducts Really Bad?
In today’s world, we are surrounded by a sea of controversy. With technology running the modern consumer’s life, debates about every subject, big or small, are constantly taking place. Just as human parents battle each other on the best way to raise children, pet parents tend to be at each other’s throats for the same reason. The way we feed our animals is often at the center of controversy in the pet space, and it’s no doubt because of the marketing that we’re are subjected to 24/7. Since Millennials are having more pets than kids, the pet industry is now a billion dollar industry. We spend money on our pets like people do on human kids. And just as a human parent could fall into the advertising trap, the same is the case for many pet parents.
There are several myths floating around regarding pet food. The options available for dogs and cats are endless. As human diets change, those patterns are being translated to our pets. I had the privilege of speaking with “America’s Veterinarian” Dr. Marty Becker about myths surrounding the pet food industry. We discussed what the myths are, why they are common and how we can educate pet parents about the truth.
Kleanbowl Review and Challenge + Giveaway
Picture this; Your dog is outside in the backyard romping around and enjoying the day. They find something deliciously disgusting to munch on, like bugs or cat feces. Without you knowing it, your dog comes inside because it’s dinner time. As they chow down on their meal, all of those cat poop and bug germs are getting spread throughout their bowl. Sounds pretty gross, yeah? I’d say so. Did you know that a dishwasher isn’t even hot enough to kill all of those icky germs? About 67% of bowls still have Salmonella after dishwasher cleaning! But what if I told you that there IS a way to avoid that? The Kleanbowl™ from Kinn™ gives pet parents a healthier, more eco-friendly alternative to nasty germ-filled pet dishes. The Kleanbowl, designed by veterinarians, eliminates germs commonly found in pet food and water bowls, and I’m giving three people the chance to WIN one!
