You've gotta have heart... And chew toys

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Why should you be the only one showing their support by sporting the pink ribbon?  Seriously, is wearing a pin really enough?

Let your dog show her support with Planet Dog's Pink "Ribbon" Ringo.

The Pink "Ribbon" Ringo is a tough, rubbery chew toy designed for rough (ruff!) chewers.  And the best part? 

from the PD website: "Every sale of the Ribbon Ringo helps support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and their mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease."
and "For each Ribbon Ringo sold, we will donate a minimum of $0.45 to the Komen Foundation with a minimum guaranteed donation of $10,000."

Purchase the Pink "Ribbon" Ringo at Planet Dog.  For $9.95 you can afford to buy two.

Or maybe your dog is a softie and prefers something plush.  Planet Dog has you covered with the Pink "Ribbon" Buddy. 

With the Buddy PD will donate "a minimum of $0.75 to the Komen Foundation with a minimum guaranteed donation of $10,000. "

And at $12.95 (purchase here) you won't break the bank if you purchase both the Buddy and the Ringo.

Big, wet kisses for Planet Dog!

I've got tags...

... That jingle jangle jingle.

Is the sound of your dear pooch's tags banging together driving you batty?  Is all the clanging keeping your baby awake (oh, the horror!)?  Silence those tags once and for all with the Quiet Spot Pet Tag Silencer.

The Pet Tag Silencer (catchy name, no?) is a little pouch that you slip over your dog's tags.  Made of weatherproof Neoprene they come "in fashionable colors, and [are] designed to be left on your dog year-round, 24-7.  And there are no snaps to rust, unlike some of the 'collar wallets' currently on the market." (from the ItzaDog/Quiet Spot site)

My friend, C., found that her infant son found the shiny tags on their weimaraner's collar fascinating and tried to grab at them every chance he could.  After putting a Silencer over the tags, the baby left the dog's collar alone.  That dog wore his silencer pouch over his tags at doggie daycare, in the pool and lake, he even slept with it on, and the pouch never came off.  And the purple color looked smashing against his beautiful silver fur.  What's not to love? 

Tough, durable, good looking and keeps your house a little quieter.  Lana and Fisher give the Quiet Spot Pet Tag Silencer their paw of approval.

You can order this product directly from the ItzaDog store for $8.00 (US).  A bargain for a little peace and quiet.
