Measurements: 32" x 24" x 4" Care Info: Machine Wash, Fiber Content is 100% Polyester About the designer: Thro Home by Marlo Lorenz. THRO is the ideal brand for those wishing to express themselves at home with fun, fashionable and affordable home décor pieces. The brand's creator, Marlo Lorenz, once found it difficult to find reasonably priced home furnishings that would express her personal style, and took it upon herself to solve the problem. Her inspiration for each piece stems from her extensive travels abroad and interest in international culture, her childhood upbringing in a diverse Brooklyn neighborhood and her love of the fine materials synonymous with high-fashion. By creating THRO, Lorenz is able to share with a broad range of consumers her beloved and creative designs. Marlo Lorenz graduated from FIT with a strong focus in fashion and marketing, and shortly thereafter began her career in the fast-paced fashion industry. While working as a fashion merchandiser for a women's sportswear line, Lorenz saw an opportunity to satisfy a niche market elsewhere. Lorenz found that the home furnishings market was lacking a well-priced, stylish line of home décor items appropriate for the mass market, and immediately set out to change this. As the THRO brand was launching, Marlo's personal life was changing as well, as she was starting a family and building a home. This personal change further strengthened Marlo's goal of creating soft home furnishings and accessories that could make her own home (and many others) glamorous, yet livable. THRO offers soft home furnishings and home accessories in a wide variety of colors, textures and patterns that add a touch of brilliance and fun to any home. Since launching in 1998, THRO has seen great success with their decorative pillows and throw blankets, which inspired Lorenz to expand the brand to include pajama sets, bath robes, baby clothing and dog beds.

Labels: Behavior and Training, Dog Diet, Dog Nutrition, Dog Style, Dog Treat, Traveling with your dog Getting a Puppy for Christmas? If you are planning on getting a puppy or know someone who just got a puppy we have the perfect dog collar for you. Don't know your dog's collar size or your friend's dog collar size, no problem! We call this collar the "perfect-fit" collar because YOU can set the fit anywhere along the nylon. It is that simple! The collar has no fixed holes and is designed so that the stem of the buckle can be pushed through the braided nylon at any point along its length, hence "perfect-fit." This "perfect fit collar" is made from the same 64 carrier flat braided nylon found in the Sequoia Collar line but features a solid brass stem buckle instead of a plastic side release buckle. The collar has no fixed holes and is designed so that the stem of the buckle can be pushed through the braided nylon at any point along its length, hence "perfect-fit." This is a great alternative to plastic buckle collars when strength is required. Available in 3 widths: 1/2", 3/4", and 1" and lengths ranging from 8"-28". (Please consider these measurements carefully before placing an order - this item is NOT returnable). Available in 7 colors: Forest Green, Blue, Purple, Red (shown), Pink, Black & Maroon. Comes with quality, brass hardware (shown). Labels: Behavior and Training, Dog Collars, Dog Fashion, Dog Style Saturday, December 12, 2009Shopping for your BOY dog, but can't find anything cute?

A combination of aluminum and resistant polyester (easy to keep clean). Its great capacity makes it an extremely versatile bag. Although its own weight is minimal, it can carry a lot! A soft coated grip makes it comfortable to take around. The entire bag can be folded up neatly. In the inside, you find a handy little zipper pouch inside. Basket concept newly defined! Although the good old wicker basket makes us feel as if we’d just stepped out of a fairytale, there is no doubt that tear proof polyester and sturdy aluminum really are superior to the material properties of woven twigs – and also more elegant when combined. This means that our Carrybag will not only let you shop in style at the market, it will also look the part in any shopping center. Our Carrybag is the original! Wherever it pops up, it reliably demonstrates its pristine strengths: a large capacity, low empty weight and several practical details. Our carrybag is no less than the redefined version of the basket! It suits any purpose and any person.

Labels: Carrier Pet, Energy and Environment, Traveling with your dog Thursday, October 01, 2009Is you pet in healthy "fashion"? When looking at what people spend their hard earned money they want to know they are getting something good right? Well how do you really know? Real food? What could be better.... Ummm NOTHING! Not even another vet bill is going to fix a lifestyle problem. Think about it! If you had a car that used gas, but you put diesel in the tank wouldn't it end up with problems? Not to mention the mechanic bills! But the real question is: Do you continue to bring your diesel filled, gas needing car to the same mechanic? Of course the mechanic is going to preform a "fix" for the problem, but he is also going to recommend that you bring it back in for a "check up". And of course we all know - take your money again for the service because you don't know any better! Long story short we want you, the consumer to have the right information. So you can make good decisions with your money, your time, not to mention your dog or cat (or car's) health! After all your pet is worth the research and the best, informed decisions possible; after all it does concern their livelihood & we all know how much we love them, especially when they are healthy.

As we experience on a daily basis here at The Dog Bowl, not everyone has the same "house rules" for their dog(s).Whatever your house rules/training rules are for your dog one thing is certain - your dog will not succeed unless you (and the whole family) are consistent. We are currently helping out a friend and client of The Dog Bowl with the training of her Jack Russell Terrier named Dylan (shown on the left with Jennifer). He was a rescued pup and she adopted him approximately 3 years ago... We think he is around 5-6 years old. If you have come into our retail storefront recently you have had the "pleasure" of having us beg you to pet him. (He will be staying with us until tomorrow, Saturday.) Dylan has A LOT of anxiety... Which many of you know is usually expressed as aggression. In Dylan's case he always needs a "job" and a place to just "be". Many dogs are like this - large or small! So even if you think a smaller dog breed is "easier" guess again! Dylan, for example, has proven to be a challenge, but we are working through it. Every day brings an opportunity to train and work with him (and his visitors/friends). To quote Cesar Millan "Rehabilitate dogs.... train people." Because dogs do behave the way we want them to - this includes the good or the bad. In our quest to assist Dylan we had to first learn how to best communicate with him and react in an appropriate manner with any negative or inappropriate behaviors "in our pack" we came across Training DVD's as well as Breed Specific DVD's (now offered at The Dog Bowl Online Storefront). These were very helpful in his rehab! We also took in a few of Cesar Millan's videos & would like to share a few of our favorite points from his show on National Geographic:
