Though I like the company Dogswell (maker of Catswell), we won’t carry their products in our Boston store because they are made in China. I’ve spoken with them about it a few times, and I do trust their sincerity and integrity. It’s not Dogswell that I don’t trust, it’s the lack of transparency in the food supply chain in China. On Friday, Dogswell issued a voluntary recall…
In the Dog House, #1
This photo inspired me to seek out other creative/interesting dog houses. If you have any suggestions please send a note! This one was found on Australian Working Dog Rescue‘s Facebook page. Gives a completely different meaning to ‘in the dog house’!

Review: Swamp Cooler & Kool Dog Collar
Products: Ruffwear’s Swamp Cooler Jacket and the Kool Collar for Dogs. Purpose: Keeping dogs cool in the heat. Both products use evaporative cooling to lower body temperature. The Swamp Cooler needs to be wet to work. The Kool Collar comes with its own (nontoxic) gel pack that you ‘charge’ by freezing; or you can fill the Kool Collar with ice cubes. This second option is best…
