Keeping Your Dog's Teeth Clean Is More Important Than You Think

For a long time, to be completely honest, I really didn't think a lot about my dog's teeth. But as I have learned recently, it's pretty important to think about them!

Toothfilm sent us their T-PET Dental Care Gel For Dogs. This is the neatest stuff. It's super easy to use and is approved by Vets. It is a dog toothpaste you rub on their teeth daily and they like the taste of, is safe for them and reduces plaque, tartar and helps keep their breath fresh.

Now I do need to say right away, when we got this product to test it was intended to be used on our Newfoundland. Unfortunately, he passed away part way through testing the product. He did not pass away from using the product. He had a heart condition. So we started using the product on our little Chorkie instead.

The toothpaste comes in a pump bottle. The directions are really clear and the pump is easy to use. Included in the package is this nifty finger glove that has small bumps on one side and tiny soft bristles on the other. The finger glove is made of silicone, so it won't hurt your dog in any way.

You pump out the toothpaste on to the finger glove and massage it on their teeth, gums and inside cheeks. It may take a few days for your dog to get used to the whole process, but after a while, they actually start to enjoy it. Since we started so late trying this on our Chorkie, we have not seen huge improvements on his teeth yet, but we have noticed a big difference in his breath. Hate to say, but that little dog had the worst dog breath I have ever smelled. Since we have been brushing his teeth, it has vastly improved!

I wish I could tell you more, but I do know it is making small differences in his teeth too, enough so that we plan on using it from now on. The whole family recommends it to you!

The Lifepul Dog Leash Harness

I may have mentioned once or twice that we have a big dog. He's really big and the vet just recently told us he is finally done growing. I was glad to hear that. He now weighs in at a whopping 149.8 pounds. To say the least, taking him for a walk is an adventure. He is well trained, but even the best trained dog can see something now and then that gets them excited and they will pull you like crazy. Thing is with a dog this big, that means getting pulled off your feet.

So I was excited to try out a Lifepul Dog Leash Harness. When you walk a dog with one of these leashes it is much easier on you and your dog. There is less tugging and pulling and it is easier to control your dog without hurting them and their neck. The harness is really well made with extra stitching on all the ends to help prevent breakage and tearing. The material is made out of a jean kind of material and looks really nice and is heavy duty to hold up to lots of use.

It's super easy to put on your dog and is adjustable to fit most large dogs. They also make ones for smaller dogs too. On the harness there are two adjustable sections that you slip your dogs front legs in. There is a plastic latch clip to connect the two sides together around your dog and then two metal rings to attach the leash too. It takes about one minute to put this on your dog. I really like it.

Not the problem for me and why you are not seeing any pictures of Bender wearing it is that it does not fit Bender. He's too big. Even though this harness is made for large dogs it will not fit dogs this big, which means no Newfoundlands will fit it unless they are young. ***sigh*** I know that this would mean several other breeds of dogs would not fit it either sadly.

To me this is a real bummer, especially since it is so well made too and easy to use. It did fit my neighbors dog but they did not give me permission to take a picture with their dog wearing it. So the company gave me a good picture of a dog wearing it.

Well made and a great idea, just make sure you get the right size for your dog!

The Hot Dog Slic'r

When it comes to feeding your kids, it can be a struggle to gt them to eat. They don't always want to cooperate with you. Sometimes you need to get creative and let them have a little fun to help them enjoy their meal and make your life a little easier.

The Hot Dog Slic'r is one of those things that can help you give your kids some fun while they eat. This little dog is a fun way to take your average hot dog and cut it into small, bite sized pieces.

Here's how it works, Take a hot dog, cold or hot, place it in the base. The second piece is placed over it and you push down. This cuts the hot dog into small pieces. You can serve it in the base or you can place the pieces on a plate. If you serve it in the base, the small bowl in the front of the dog's face can be used as a dipping bowl for your child's favorite condiment.

The "blades" of the Slic'r are not sharp, so it is safe to use, and even your kids could use it safely. It cuts okay, but does take some wiggling and a good push to cut all the way through, although lining it up just right over the base does not always work too well. It took me 3 hot dogs to finally get it lined up just right. My husband did not complain about that though. LOL!

It wasn't easy to cut through the hot dogs but not too bad to use except the hot dogs do not want to stay in the base all nice in a row to use it like a plate/bowl. The pieces want to fall out every time, like in the picture above. I couldn't push them back through the holes and it is not easy to get them all back in it to serve it that way. Much easier to just place them on a plate or in a bowl. You can still use the little bowl in front of the dog as a condiment dish, but it isn't quite the same thing as having the hot dog in it too. Maybe after a few more cuts, I'll get the pieces to stay.

This is a fun thing for you to use with your kids to help make meal time a little more fun for them. The Slic'r washes on the top rack of the dishwasher or you can do it by hand, and it's easy to store. For me it seems to be more work to use than it should be, but if it is fun for the kids, I'm okay with that.
