From the Field makes all natural and holistic, healthy toys for happy cats. Each cat toy is made with strong and durable hemp fiber material and filled with organic catnip. Completely biodegradable and earth friendly. We had all of our flooring replaced this year and I went in search of a cleaning solution that could tackle both laminate flooring and the rugs on top of it. It's surprisingly difficult to find an all-in-one solution, let alone one that specifically considers pets. Our Maine Coon Cat has chronic digestive issues (primarily due to grooming her long fur) and shedding is always an issue. Available in three sizes and nine colors! This ingenious "pen" works for both pets and babies, either by creating a portable enclosure or forming a protective barrier. The panels can be placed to take on any shape you need and it includes a walk-through gate. Keep your pets in one place, gate areas such as stairs or decks, or position the panels around dangerous areas such as a fireplace or Christmas tree. You can purchase extra panels if required. Perfect for most dogs. Cats will laugh at you (and the dog) while they hop over it. My Mom had an elderly dog who was terrified of falling on her laminate flooring. She had to strategically place rugs in front of him. I wish we had known about these anti-slip dog socks! The knit dog or cat socks are made of high-quality cotton, with rubber reinforcement to stabilize dogs or cats on slippery flooring like laminate or hardwood. The Velcro tops keep them in place and make them easy to take on & off. With over an 85% success rate, why not try Thundershirt for your dog’s anxiety, fear or training issue? Natural mineral source for birds, hamsters, gerbils, squirrels, rats and other small, gnawing animals. The Pet Checkup kit contains everything you need to provide a whole new level of care for your pet. This portable, all-in-one bathing system can be used in any room of the house, anytime, with a minimal mess — eliminating the inevitable clean-up that comes along with washing a four-legged family member. Specially-designed nozzles get beneath the fur and down to the skin—the true source of odor—to allow water and no-rinse shampoo to wash the skin clean, while a soft suction pulls dirt and water away into a separate dirty water tank. We have a Maine Coon cat who is prone to hairballs due to her long belly fur. We picked up a Furminator to stay ahead of her shedding so she doesn't ingest as much fur when she grooms. It makes her feel better and we have less hairballs to clean up!

We were so impressed with the CrossWave®, we turned to BISSELL® again when our upstairs carpeting was replaced. We brought home the PowerGroom® Swivel Rewind Pet Vacuum. Other vacuums we've tried just couldn't deal with the fur left behind by our long-haired cat, so we were happy to find a vacuum designed specifically for that purpose. It didn't disappoint. This vacuum has no problem picking up her extra-soft fur and the usual household messes. Special tools for pet hair, the Pet TurboEraser® Tool and Flexible Crevice Tool, are included.
