The Dog Bowl Pet Supply and BARF Raw Food Blog

Yes, always a bad thing to find your pup has found your underwear, especially your lacy ones! Even worse if this happens when you have a guest or company over to witness your pups behavior.

The Dog Bowl has the latest in "underwear" toys for dogs! The toys are available as brief, thong, or bra options. Not only are they the "allowed" underwear toy for your pup, but they have a fun squeaker inside - what more could a pup want?

The Dog Bowl recommends you supervise your dog when you introduce any new toy to the home. Many dogs will play well with new toys, however, some dogs will actually try to eat their toys. No one wants to come home to find a half eaten toy & the rest missing - yikes!

We never think our pet will escape, or get away from us. But what if they do? Does your pet have an ID tag? If the answer is "no" you need to get one ASAP.

Every day thousands of pets are seperated from their owner's homes & lost. I know you don't want to be in this situation - no fun.

Prevention is the key, always keep your pet on a leash when in public. And always have an identification tag on your pet.

Our ID tag we have shown (click here to see more details about the tag shown) not only keeps your information, it also has an LED flashing blinker in the center. The blinker may be turned "off" and "on", to save the battery, with a simple twist of the bone end. Perfect for not only identifying your pet, keeing him visible at night or walks at dusk.

Dog strollers are the rage for the dog on the go!

Our lightweight strollers are the perfect combination of style and performance, with fun colors and durability, as well the ability to collapse quickly and easily. Three multi-terrain wheels make it easy to run with this stroller. A great buy for a new puppy or old dog that can't walk very far, as well as handicapped and post-surgical pups that aren't up to the exercise but could use a breath of fresh air.

This stroller measures 13"x 24" and has an 18" height, which is great versatility for many small breeds. Under the main stroller area is a basket for your belongings. A cup holder on the handle makes this perfect for jogging or a leisurely stroll.

The Dog Bowl is proud to offer modern and durable collars for medium to large dogs! (Click here to see what we are talking about, in always modern, red color.)

This collar doesn't harbor big dog smells & looks vibrant after wearing & washing.

Plus it is adjustable! We all know Fido has gone on a diet (one of the many New Year's resolutions), so lucky for Fido this collar is adjustable. Available in two sizes, a medium ranges from 16"-24", and large adjusts from 24"-32".

We mentioned cool hardware, but this collar has durable hardware as well! It doesn't rust or break. This is a must for any water loving medium to large dog! This dog collar is constructed with marine-safe, highly durable clasp and water resistant hardware. (To operate fastener: pull to release, snap to close.)

Is there such a thing? We all know the best form of dental care is prevention, so we suggest giving lots of raw bones to your pup & keep them chewing on digestable treats.

What about an easy dental care treatment? Is there such a thing available for pets (dogs and cats)? YES - there is such a thing & The Dog Bowl has it!! (Click here to see results & purchase this dental care item. **We are now offering free shipping!)

"Cleans teeth with the ease of a spray." Leba Dental Spray is so easy, this is how it to use it: Keep at room temperature & away from direct sunlight. Don't give your pet any food, no water, or anything that could dilute Leba III a mimimum of 1/2 hour before and 1/2 hour after treatment. No grooming (prevent grooming, i.e. cats from licking their fur) as much as possible, after treatment so that Leba III will remain in the mouth. For best results do not use other dental products while using Leba III. If you wish to brush your pet's teeth do so with water only on the toothbrush. (Also do not brush teeth within the 1/2 hour before and after treatment time frame.)

Much like purses and shoes - one dog carrier is never enough!

Some foods commonly enjoyed by humans are dangerous to dogs, including chocolate (Theobromine poisoning), onions, grapes and raisins, some types of gum, certain sweeteners and Macadamia nuts. Now that it is thought that the only dangerous substance in chocolate is the cocoa, this means that white chocolate can be used as a rare treat. The acute danger from grapes and raisins has been uncovered only since about 2000, and made public slowly since then. At present the cause is not known, but one veterinarian believes it may be an acute auto-immune response to plant-borne viruses in the same manner as FIP in cats. Whatever the reason, since only small quantities are necessary to induce acute renal failure, dogs should not be fed grapes or raisins, and sultanas and currants should likely be withheld as well. Cooked bones should never be given to dogs, as the heat changes the chemical and physical properties so that they cannot be chewed properly, splintering into jagged shards, and resist digestion.

Human medications should not be given to a dog as a substitute for their regular medication as some can be especially toxic, especially paracetamol/acetaminophen (Tylenol). Alcoholic beverages pose much of the same hazards to dogs as they do to humans.

Dogs may also find some poisons attractive, including antifreeze, snail bait, insect bait, and rodent poisons. Antifreeze may be one of the most insidious of poisons to dogs because of its sweet taste and because a dog may walk upon or lie down upon a spill of it or its residue and then lick it off. Dogs must be kept strictly away from antifreeze and not allowed access to any place that has had a spill of it that has not been completely removed.

Plants such as caladium, dieffenbachia and philodendron will cause throat irritations that will burn the throat going down as well as coming up. Hops are particularly dangerous and even small quantities can lead to malignant hyperthermia. Amaryllis, daffodil, english ivy, iris, and tulip (especially the bulbs) cause gastric irritation and sometimes central nervous system excitement followed by coma, and, in severe cases, even death. Ingesting foxglove, lily of the valley, larkspur and oleander can be life threatening because the cardiovascular system is affected. Equally life threatening is the yew which affects the nervous system. If any of these plants are ingested, get the dog to a veterinarian immediately.

Many household cleaners such as ammonia, bleach, disinfectants, drain cleaner, soaps, detergents, and other cleaners, mothballs and matches are dangerous to dogs, as are cosmetics such as deodorants, hair coloring, nail polish and remover, home permanent lotion, and suntan lotion.
