Pet Water Bottle

On our walks and journeys in the car during the hot weather I always have the conundrum of how to transport water for Mojai – even on short our commute to The Amazing Blog offices. Although as a sophisticated London dog, who frequently joins me to dine in the finest gastro pubs (and the odd dog-friendly restaurant) he has learnt to drink from a glass. Yes he happily laps away from any human’s glass - what a clever doggy he is! However, the point is I need a container for our trips and of course only the best will do for my pet.

Thankfully, I was recently introduced to the stylish The Pet Water Bottle it is made of the finest stainless steel It has a large opening making it easy to clean and refill.  Both the spout and the cap are made from a BPA free, food-grade quality, FDA specified polypropylene, meaning it's healthy for your dog and for the environment. It also has a unique patented floating ball that releases just enough drinking water for a single sip – so it reduces waste. I had my doubts whether my old boy would be able to master such a thing (i.e. you can’t teach an old dog new tricks…) But he soon mastered the bottle cheerfully licking away (see above photo). This Pet Water Bottle currently has 11 different designs, it conveniently hooks onto a belt or handbag and comes in two sizes 500ml and 750ml, prices start from £12.99 and they are available at The Pet Water Bottle. They are doing a Giveaway on their Twitter so please follow when they reach 100 followers they will select a winner.

Little known fact: Did you know that when dogs drink that their tongue curls backwards and under? This is how they cleverly ‘hook’ the water into their mouths without wastage – i.e. if their tongue curled upwards.

Cool Your Canine

It seems like a distant memory, but it wasn't too long ago that the sun was shining on London, but while us humans are happy to bask in the sun, it may not be so pleasant for your pet. Even in the colder months, your dog might struggle with the heat - after all, they are permanently wearing a fur coat. And the same can be said for my darling dog Mojai, as a Tibetan Spaniel he has a very thick coat - great for Tibet, not so great for London. So in my quest to make Mojai comfortable, and spoil him rotten, I found the Canine Cooler, and he couldn't love it more. The Canine Cooler is designed to cool down your furry friend at any time of the year. Whether they're too warm because of the sunny weather, or in the winter from indoor heating, Mojai now cannot be without his Canine Cooler. As Mojai is designed to keep warm in cold climates (he has two layers of fur) he often has trouble getting cool and staying cool. The cooler is designed to absorb heat from the dog's body, and stays cool for ages, in order to keep your pup cooler for longer. You simply fill it with ordinary tap water, the water is then absorbed into the foam core, which helps it maintain the cold. And don't worry, the Canine Cooler is comfortable and flexible, so even the most unsettled dogs will be able to make it work for them. It fits perfectly into Mojai's dog beds, and it only takes a minute for him to settle into it. They're great for indoors, but I can imagine that the Canine Cooler would be brilliant for long car trips as well. Whilst some people have milk and eggs as a permanent staple in their fridge, currently taking up residency on my shelf is the Canine Cooler, it means that Mojai can be cool at a moment's notice. Not only does the Canine Cooler help cool down your dog, but it's also useful for canine complaints such as hip dysplasia and Cushing's disease. The coolers come in three sizes, small, medium and large, so whatever size your dog is, there's a cooler for them.

So weather it's hot sun or a hot radiator heating up your four legged friend, pick up a Canine Cooler, starting at £55.

Eyenimal

I’m extremely lucky to be able to bring my elderly Tibetan Spaniel into work. When he’s not pestering the office for his treats, he’s generally found lying in his basket with all four legs in the air making snoring noises like an old grampus. However, when home-time comes and I get changed for my evenings’ pursuits I often muse about what Mojai is up to whilst he’s home-alone… My neighbour downstairs tells me that she often hears a lot of tip-tapping on the floor when I’m out, with the odd ‘clunk’ noise followed by more tip-tapping.  Could my beloved pet be practising his fancy-footwork to impress one of his bitches in the park? The mind boggles – but what I would give to have just a quick peek at what he gets up to when I’m out. Enter the Eyenimal this  dinky miniature video camera (only weighing 35g) is attached to your pets’ collar and will record over 2 ½ hours of video footage (although it is from your pets' neck and whiskers perspective). I think that this gadget best comes into its own when an absent pet owner’s four-legged friend engages in bit of mischief i.e. upon the owner’s return the dear-one has that rather guilty look as if to say “What Designer’s Guild cushion? But I thought it was a new toy to play with? Don’t tell me off - It just flew off the sofa and into my basket!”  For a princely sum of £84.99 you can purchase your Eyenimal video camera which will allow you to step into the life of your cherished pet; making it easy to gather valuable footage to marvel at their leisure time or collecting undisputable evidence of unruly conduct to discuss with the animal behavioural therapist. Hear that, Mojai? You have been warned!

Show your love with Lily’s Kitchen

Don't you just love dogs? They have the ability to bring you out of the blackest mood with nothing more than an adoring look and a wagging tail, they don't judge your questionable taste in music, or complain about the fact you haven't shaved your legs in over a week. In fact if we could exist without our menfolk we would be perfectly happy with the faithful company of our favourite pooch, who never answers back and genuinely believes you are the best thing since sliced bread. So how do you reward such unwavering adoration? Well if they could talk we think they would suggest feeding them food from Lily's Kitchen. These pioneers of pet nutrition believe that your pet's food should be made up of proper, recognisable ingredients with no derivatives, preservatives or nasty 'fillers' used to bulk it out. Lily's Kitchen pet foods are made with real meat and organic grains, vegetables, fruits and herbs.

We already have one fan in the Amazing PR office, Mojai the Tibetan Spaniel is especially fond of the organic chicken and vegetable bake treats and although Edwina is supposedly the one in charge we all know that it is actually Mojai who rules the roost. His daily schedule revolves around mealtimes, walks, naps and his (very frequently) decreed treat times and we, his harem of dedicated slaves, ensure that his every need is met.

So all you pet owners out there who are under the paw, indulge your pet with some delicious gourmet treats from Lily's Kitchen - trust us they will thank you for it.
