WIGGLY PUPS

Clean + Green Pet Products

We have 3 large dogs, a cat, and a bird.  So, we occasionally have pet accidents.  And we use Nature's Miracle by the gallon.  But we recently found a new product - Clean + Green by SeaYu. 

These are eco-friendly, aerosol cleaning products.  They have one for carpet/upholstery and another for wood floor/tile.  When I first got the product, I was skeptical.  But I decided to try it anyway as soon as one of my babies left me a little gift.

WOW! With just a light spray both the stain and the smell disappeared!  It seems that I had to use twice as much Nature's Miracle to clean the same amount of mess.  And the smell was 100% gone!!  I never ever found anything (other than scented candles) that covered up the accident smell so well!

We tried the wood floor/tile one next.  My elderly dog occasionally dribbles on the floor, so we needed a quick clean-up.  Although the Clean + Green felt sticky when wet, it quickly dried.  And the floor was so nice and clean that my husband decided to use it to clean the rest of the floor! 

The eco-friendliness of the product was just the topping on the cake.  I would 100% recommend this product to anyone with pets.  Now we aren't at all worried when guest come over... we invite them right in!!

"Green" Dog Bed (in other colors, too!)

It looks like a normal, high quality dog bed.  You are probably guessing that it came from L.L. Bean or Land's End, or some preppy boutique.  Wrong!  It came from West Paw Design, a fabulous eco-friendly dog supply store. 

These beds are not only stylish, but orthopedic, ensuring that your pet gets a great night's sleep. (And that means that you will, too.  You might even get the whole bed to yourself!)

It is made with a special fiber fill that is made from recycled plastic soda bottles.  It sounded uncomfortable to me when I heard about it, but once I actually felt the bed I was pleasantly suprised!  It is super squooshy and soft. :)

The twill fabric is also "brushed", which makes it feel (almost) like you are petting a baby chick. You can even get it in a variety of colors!  So even if you are being "green", you don't have to decorate all in green. 

PS. The cover is removable, for easy washing.  Cause muddy pawprints will happen.

These beds are a little more expensive than some superstore chain, but they are totally worth it.  Except you may miss cuddling in your bed with your dog, because he/she will be enjoying their own bed.  That's ok, you have more leg room. :)

Check it out here: West Paw Designs.  Beds range from $64.00 - $178.00.  But, really, you can't put a price on saving the planet!

Furry Booty - Way to Go!

We were all taking a stroll around Tompkins Square Park, when we ran into an adorable little dog named Gizmo. 

Being the fashionable hounds that we are, we were instantly jealous of Gimo's stylish backpack.

Yes, we do have backpacks already, and packs for dogs are not all that rare.  But Gizmo's pack was CUTE, STYLISH, and just plain old FABULOUS.  Our packs are build for hiking.  Gizmo's pack was created for everyday use.  Or for gala events, walking the red carpet, or chartity balls.  Gizmo was carrying a pack by "Furry Booty".  (Gotta love the name!)

The bags come in Animal Prints, Metallics, and also in Camo styles.  A perfect gift for a dog birthday paw-ty or to spoil your own pup.

PetNetDirect.com

All of us here in NYC are very busy people.  Sometimes it is a bit difficult to get to the pet store, but we do it anyway because we love our pets.  They deserve the best, and we give it to them.

Well, Pet Net Direct has made it easier!!  If you live in Manhattan or Brooklyn, they deliver your order to your house on the same day that you place your order!! 

How it works:  You go to their web site.  They have a large selection of supplies, from food to treats to brushes to weewee pads.  They also have some pretty nice harnesses, and pet beds!  And they have supplies for both cats and dogs.  The food that they carry is top quality.  You can order Merrick or Wellness as well as many other top brands.  (And, maybe I shouldn't say this, but ordering from Pet Net Direct is actually a lot cheaper than ordering directly from the Merrick site!)  You select a payment method, type in your shipping and billing info, and sit back.  (Or use the free time to get a manicure, go shopping, or out to dinner with friends. Or take your dog to the park!)  Later on that same day you should hear your doorbell ring and your supplies will be sitting there!  Yippee!!

Please note that if you order after 7 pm your order will arrive the next day.  And if you order after 7pm on Saturday, your order will arrive on Monday, because they are closed on Sunday. 

Man, I just love progress and technology!  www.petnetdirect.com

Lexie Lew- Sylish Living, Pets Included.

We know that furnishing an apartment can be a time consuming event.  You want to find the perfect furnishings, rugs, drapery.  You put it all together and it looks beautiful.  It matches.  And then there is the dog bed.  That ugly thing in the corner.  Even if it is stylish and expensive, it doesn't seem to go with anything you have.

Try the pet beds at Lexie Lew.  Based here in NYC, Lexie Lew not only makes stylish and comfortable pet beds (round or square), but they also give you the option of purchasing matching throw pillows for your sofa or bed!!  What a great idea!!  And the fabric choices are so chic and kinda retro.

Lexie Lew pet beds not only come with a removable machine-washable cover, but there is a secret snuggle compartment in each bed!  It is perfect for those pets that love to sleep under the covers.  (Like a little baby kangaroo!)  If your pet sleeps above the covers, you don't even have to know that the pocket is there!

Check out Lexie Lew today and get your life coordinated! http://lexielew.com/
