Yes! I completely missed Mutt Monday. I suppose I need to set a timer or train Oliver to hit the publish button. So here it is Mutt Monday on Tuesday and I get to give away some Doggyloot! And also some Dog Pack Snacks. How cool is that? I feel like Santa or the Tooth Fairy. 


Just for RSVPing for our #BarkFriday #Twitter Party, one lucky winner has already won a surprise gift. What's even more cool is that there will be more of these surprise drawings before the #BarkFriday event on November 25th. No, I'm not going to tell you how many, but I will tell you there will be more than ___ ___ ___ ___ ___. Can you guess?


To win a surprise RSVP drawing you must add your Twitter handle to the RSVP list at the announcement: BarkFriday Twitter Party Sure to Unleash Holiday Savings.

So, I suppose you want to know who won this super cool prize. First, let's tell you more about the prize itself. Doggyloot has donated $25 in credit to this winner to spend at their site. It's easy and fun. I've tried it....and loved it!

Dog Pack Snacks has provided a Snak-pak of treats for you to try with your Fido. Our winner gets both these great prizes just for signing up to join us for #BarkFriday. And your Twitter handle is @ILvMyChihuahuas. I'll be in touch today to let you know about your surprise gifts and also to request your mailing address and email for you to collect your winnings. We look forward to seeing you all at #BarkFriday. 





This post will be linked up to Tasty Tuesday at two of our Fido friend's sites: Sugar the Golden Retriever and Kol's Notes. Stop over and check out all the posts that have something to do with "Tasty". Yum! Oh, and THIS Mutt Monday will remain open through Wednesday morning 9 AM EST just because I'm calendar-challenged this week. Sorry for any confusion.

DogQuality: Improving your Dog’s Dental Health with Dog Chews

DogQuality: Improving your Dog’s Dental Health with Dog Chews


Improving your Dog’s Dental Health with Dog Chews

Posted: 06 Nov 2011 10:00 AM PST

I am very proud to announce that we have added a new section to our site focused on dental care products. Through my own experiences and through speaking with many vets on the subject of dog dental disease, in particular as it relates to older dogs, I have become obsessed with dental care.

If you are like me you have probably underestimated the impact that poor dental health can have for your senior dog, but it is time to change that. It is time to make proper dental care a top priority for your dog because without healthy teeth, your senior dog is susceptible to a long list of possible medical consequences from infections to organ damage and beyond – it’s mind blowing and unbelievably scary.

As a result, my goal is to help make caring for your dog’s teeth as simple as possible and that is the motivation behind our new dental section – effective, easy to use products that will help you keep your older dog’s teeth healthy.

Here is a review of the Nylabone Dental Chews – check out the reaction from our helpful dog volunteers Paige and Ozzy :) I bet you didn’t expect that something so effective could also be so popular among dogs.

As I mentioned in the video, please know that dental care products are meant to help protect and maintain, but if your dog’s teeth are already in a severe state then you really need to see your vet. Age is not a disease and you would be amazed at how safe dental surgery is these days, even for our seniors. Once your dog’s teeth are under control then these dental products are fantastic at maintaining dental health. If your dog’s teeth are still healthy then these products will help you prevent dental disease from creeping in. When you see how easy it can be, you really have no reason to not add some of these dog dental products into your routine.

If you have suggestions for additional dog dental products please let us know.

Ann-Marie Fleming is the Founder of DogQuality.com, a site focused on products that help older dogs enjoy life.

Adoptable Pets: A Tour of States Checks out New Jersey

My weekly visit to the Petfinder site always brings  a few surprises. NJ appears to be teeming with Cane Corso Mastiffs. This sweet girl, Angie Wow Wow, was taken when found emaciated. She is now healthy and still a youngster at 1 1/2 to 2 years, and has gained weight and proven to be a good housemate for other dogs and cats alike. Now all she needs to make her life whole is a family to call her own. You can see Angie in Monroe, NJ, where she is being fostered.

Piper
Piper is a young, female Whippet/Hound mix that has a wonderful disposition. While she enjoys attention and human interaction, she also has the ability to entertain herself with toys for long periods of time. Piper is available for adoption in West Windsor, NJ.

Scout
Meet Scout, a young, curious, fearless fella who is quite the explorer. Scout is available for adoption in Hightstown, NJ. Please check him out.

Baby Girl Allie
Baby Girl Allie was given up by her former owner because she was not affectionate enough. Perhaps a different approach was all Allie needed, as her foster mom has worked with her and found her to be quite friendly. She has also determined that Allie will "sell her soul for a bunny treat", making the way to this girl's hear through her stomach. She'll make a wonderful pet and is available for adoption in Cream Ridge, NJ.
