**************
Cooler and colder weather are already giving us chilly days and rainy weeks. Fall, with Winter close on its heels, has arrived in full. The time is here for warm coats and booties for ourselves and for our pets. And for the best we want to gear up with USA-made pet goods.
With our strong manufacturing standards and safeguards in place in the USA, our products are more often than not safer and of a higher quality to last longer than the norm. Another great reason for buying USA-made and sourced is to nourish our own economy through the support of our local businesses and workers.
For our Aquariums
Activity
Possibly a new ‘swim-thru’ decorative piece would be nice to perk up our aquarium critters’ ennui. Find fun objects at USA’s Zillarules.com.
Warmth
Definitely time to check your heater and your filter for any needed replacements. Tetra-fish.com of Virginia and Marineland.com, both by Spectrum Brands, are good USA manufacturers to find reliable aquarium pet products through.
Water safety
If you need some good water conditioner find it at APIfishcare.com to safeguard your swimming buds.
Lastly, Catappa leaves are great to hold down the invisible ‘nasties’ that seem to appear out of nowhere in fish tanks. You can locate them at Petco or on Amazon to name a couple of resources.
For our Feathered Friends
Activity
A challenging Wonder Walk ladder or a Wacky Wood bird swing from Prevue Pet.com of Illinois is in order for some good and needed activity for your birdy.
Warmth
Definitely check for drafts and think about a nice breathable cage cover from PrevuePet.com or CozzzyBird.com of Arizona. Do check out KansasCreations.com as well.
To really spoil your birdy babe take a look at Caitec’s Featherland brand snuggle hut.
For our Fur Buds
Outside Activity
Warm coats, scarves, and your fav sports team’s name on same, are available from All Star Dogs of New Jersey. A nice wool coat can be found at Pendleton-USA of Oregon, and some fashionable wraps are offered from Sassy Dog Fashions of Pennsylvania for both your cats and dogs. Sassy Dog and Gold Paw Series of Minnesota both offer rain gear. If you are venturing out into the wet and windy, Gold Paw’s fleece lining may be welcome.
Booties for warmth and protection can be had from Healers Pet Care of Washington. You might also opt for the prebiotic Paw & Nose balm offered by Skout’s Honor of California available for cats and dogs.
It may be time for a new walking Leash and harness set for the season. If you have a larger doggo, Grip Harness of Delaware provides a ‘no-pull’ set, and it may even be available for your kitty cat. Or you might try Lupine Pets of New Hampshire and their handmade cat and dog leash and harness sets. They sport an ‘escape-proof’ H-style kitty harness. If you are into a heavy duty, lifetime guarantee, try Atlas Pet Company of Colorado.
Modern Beast.com of California provides fun bandanas with a multitude of colors and patterns to choose from for your kitty and doggo, as well as a great harness in several colors. Also for felines BeBopUSA.com of Texas and Lupine Pet.com both offer harness and leash sets.
If you do not already have an ID tag for your puppy or kitty, go online to DogTagArt.com, an employee-owned company in North Carolina, and make your ID tag.
Home Again
Warmth
With winter coming on you might consider a warm, snuggly bed for your pooch or kitty from DogBedKing of Illinois. Or, if you have an oversized pup, BigBarker.com of Pennsylvania provides good sized beds for larger doggos. These are handmade with thick foam.
You may want a luxury handmade dog bed from TheFoggyDog of California. Or Jax and Bones of California offers cuddly handcrafted dog and cat beds. Another possibility is a new orthopedic brand from Alaska named Dog Crazy Designs and their Snugatti option.
A cozy, comfy blanket will be welcome by your best dog friend or kitty love bug. K9bytes.com of Oregon provides handmade cotton blankets in many colors and various prints.
Inside Activity
Settled into their comfy bed, it is probably time for a tasty and healthy dental treat like the dental bites from Pet Honesty of Texas and Greenies dental treats available in all your local pet stores. Another is a dental chew from ShamelessPets of New Jersey – a ridged dental stick with several flavor options.
A treat maze is a fun and rewarding game for your cat or dog and a good way of keeping them engaged. See Catamazing.com. Also a treat dispenser from Soda Pup.com keeps your best pet friend busy with tasty ‘surprises’ inside. Or a ‘strobe’ ball from Planet Dog of Colorado through OutwardHound.com will entertain your doggo.
Take advantage of some or all of our great USA-made pet products mentioned above. I see too few of these companies’ products available in our local pet stores. What I do find locally, I use. Otherwise, I shop online for the best USA-made.
Look at more good choices in an earlier post on this subject: “Fall/Winter pet gear”.
Funny Animal Videos
From Big Geek Daddy, enjoy watching Ollie the dog.
Second in line, see Emperor penguin chicks.
And have fun with the awesome opossum.
