Ok, I was searching for different pet-related products, and I came upon this thing called a pet pad. It is made by BMW, and it’s intention is to lay across your back seats. This prevents pet hair from getting on your upholstery, and if you are lucky enough to have leather seats, it prevents the leather from getting scratched up from you dog or cat’s nails.
When I was looking at them, I was thinking there were kind of expensive, and I was thinking a cheap alternative would be laying an old blanket or towel down on your seats. But I have to admit , the BMW ones are much nicer and can be made to custom fit depending on what model car you own.
Be careful when you are searching though, I kept coming across BMW steering rack, be sure you type in “BMW pet pad” if you are interested in this product.

Insurance for your pets is becoming more and more popular. Major insurance companies (such as Progressive) are jumping on the bandwagon and offering policies for your pets. It is hard to deny the huge impact this new market has had on the industry.
This means that you as pet owners will be able to get better and better deals. The more companies that offer pet insurance, the lower the costs will be to you. It is so very important for you to research the different kinds of plans that are available to you and what they include. Do not purchase plans that are out of your price range, or ones that have way more features than you need. There are also some insurance companies that may even combine your coverage with your pet’s!
But, it is important to take your time and do your research. There are so many health insurance companies for people (such as NC health insurance) that it is hard to pick the right one for you…it is the exact same with pet insurance. Take your time, ask questions, and you will surely find the right coverage for your pet!

I know most of you have seen it, but what do you think about it? The logo process was a little hard for me, because I really wanted something that would convey strength with cuteness. I think he turned out really well. It was something I struggled with - trying to get the pictures in my head to come out in the logo…but in the end, I believe it was well worth it.
101 Dalmatians is one of my favorite Disney movies, and although I have never had one as a pet, I thought it was a good selection for my logo. He is almost like a super-hero (considering the fact that he is wearing a cape, and his bulging arm muscles look like he has been taking bodybuilding supplements). I hope you like him, and that he is a warm, cute addition to my website.

Some of us, no matter how hard we try, just can’t leave our pets at home. We have to take them with us wherever we go! When traveling with your pet, it is important to remember that they have different needs than we do. For example, they may need to use the restroom frequently (especially if you have a new puppy or older dog). It is also helpful to get them out of the car every so often so they are able to stretch and disperse some of their extra energy.
Last year, I went on a cruise for vacation, and I do not recall there being a “pet sitting” service on board, but I guarantee it won’t be long before that shows up! It is already fairly common to see dogs on airplanes, so I am just taking a wild guess and saying that cruise ships will be the next place to see doggy day care!
It is important to remember that you can take your pets just about anywhere in the world. They usually enjoy the trip as much as we do - there are all kinds of new and exciting smells for them, so grab your passport and enjoy your trip!
