Odor Elimination Made Simple—and Permanent
We love our fur darlings so much, but with all that love and fun comes the occasional downside — such as odors. Many products on the market make a lot of promises, but do not deliver. Most just mask odors. Unfortunately, masking Rover’s accident with an artificial floral scent does nothing to improve the situation. On the contrary, it just creates a toxic affront to your senses and his. Enter BioFog’s SCOE10X. This odor eliminator doesn’t just mask bad smells; it actually eats the bacteria that create the odor.

Emancipet Nonprofit Pet Clinics Can Provide Free & Low-Cost Vet Visits

It’s a terrible feeling knowing your pet needs basic veterinary upkeep and there’s nothing to be done about it because there’s no money to cover it. Many people even see to their pets’ welfare before their own because our furry pals bring so much to the table and we can’t imagine life without them. Who wants to be broke or borderline...
Auto Manufacturer Škoda Has Developed a Spotify Playlist for Dogs that Dislike Car Travel
It was announced that automobile manufacturer Škoda teamed up with a dog behaviorist to create a playlist on Spotify designed to ease anxiety in dogs that are fearful when traveling in cars.

Some pet owners have dogs that get motion sickness, so they’re hesitant to go for a joyride,...

Freshpet: It’s Not Dog Food It’s Food Food
Dog food has been largely unchanged since it was invented over 50 years ago. No matter which brand you choose, it’s all the same – brown, overcooked kibble made from unknown ingredients.
