Martha Stewart and pets are a good thing


Finally! I'm not surprised, but I sure am excited. Being a big Martha fan since she first swayed me with her Halloween decorating brilliance, I couldn't wait to click on the link a friend just sent me. Petsmart is carrying a Martha Stewart line of pet products: beds, clothing, grooming supplies, how-to's and recipes!

I'm not sure where Rolo would wear this, but I just might buy it! Besides, she would look lovely in baby blue. This doggy bathrobe retails for $16-20, sized XS - L. Other items included a small plastic bathtub, a grooming supply tote, leash bag holder, and can covers. And like other Martha Stewart collections (Macy's, KMart) they have the trademark light blue & red accent colors on most all products that seems to make them stand out from other brands and make me extra happy for some odd reason. 

Her How-To section contains brief tidbits that are a little more common sense than informative, but it did include important things like preventing canine bloat/gastric torsion which can be deadly to large breeds such as Great Danes. Her product line includes a specially designed food bowl with molded "bumps," for lack of a better word, inside the bowl. This is to help slow down your dogs eating, in turn preventing tummy upset by ingesting too much food to fast and too much air with it. Seems very clever, but I doubt my pug would've been able to utilize this with his lack of a muzzle. He had magical skills in making a pile of food disappear in seconds and could've benefitted from an invention like this if made adaptable. 

Recipes... anything Martha would be lacking without some cooking tips! How about homemade dog biscuits? How about those fancy hand cut biscuits in apple-cheddar or blueberry flavors? Petsmart's Martha Stewart pet collection Recipes & Projects section tells you how and even includes a link to a light blue cookie jar to keep them fresh.

Ooh! Is it bad that I want the cupcake toy? Not for my dog, but for me? :-)
