Free Shipping on Dog Supplies - Take Advantage and Get More Fun Stuff for Your Dog

The other day I was talking about Suburban Dog House to a dog lover and they said that, "Free Shipping would be important to them if they bought online." As I thought about that, it struck me how many times a customer orders just under the "Free Shipping" limit and ends up paying for shipping when they could have gotten FREE shipping and a few other fun things for their dog.

Say for example, that you find a really great dog bed (at Suburban Dog House, of course) and it costs $84. If you stopped there, you'd pay about $12 for shipping. If you added a toy, a collar or a fun dog shirt then you'd qualify for FREE shipping on all your items. That extra $12 you would have spent on shipping, just turned into a fun new dog toy, a back-up toy for the one your dog really enjoys, or something unexpected like new dog bowls.

If Free Shipping is important to you, than take advantage of the free shipping on orders over $99 at Suburban Dog House. You can get a lot more stuff for your dog!

Seriously Eco-Friendly Dog Beds by West Paw

For awhile now, we've been carrying the West Paw brand. Their story is pretty incredible. They are serious about the environment and making eco-friendly, safe dog beds that are durable and sophisticated. 85% of the material used in making a bed is from Intelliloft fibers that are re-engineered from recycled plastic bottles from the United States. Since they manufacture in their Montana facility, they consciously reduce and eliminate unnecessary waste and have a minimal impact on the environment.

The Eco Nap is made for the environmentally friendly household and like-minded dog. Each bed diverts about 21 soda bottles from landfills. The colors even sound good--loganberry, pearl, emberglow, fiesta, porcelain, and lichen. Eco naps, about 2 inches thick, are easy to keep looking great by machine washing and drying. You can check out all the designs by West Paw at Suburban Dog House--Eco Naps, Organic Bumpers, and Eco Slumber Dog Beds.

Your dog won't know that the bed he loves had minimal impact on the environment and took six times less energy to make than a bed from non-recycled materials. If your environmentally minded, get your dog a bed you can both feel good about. To read more about West Paw Designs check out their website.

Is Your House Dog Safe? Take a Fresh Look Around.

We've all heard safety tips about antifreeze, mistletoe and perhaps chocolate being dangerous to our pets, but snow globes? That was a new one. It turns out that snow globes may contain ethylene glycol which is the same poisonous substance found in some antifreeze. The same precautions you take for yourself and your family apply to your dog. Maybe even more so, since dogs have a tendency to chew, mouth and lick things they are curious about. Take a fresh look from the eye level of your dog to make your house pet safe. Here are a few reminders.

1. Pain and cold medicine like aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen are harmful to your pet. All human drugs including over the counter vitamins, ointments and creams should be kept away from your dog.
2. De-icing salts and cocoa mulch that may be used around the house are potentially deadly. Check the ingredients and choose other products that are environmentally friendly and safe. During the cold season when salt is on the ground, try dog clothing or boots. They offer great protection.
3. Garbage and leftovers can pose a problem. Many human foods are harmful to dogs. Raisins, chicken bones, grapes, and the leafy green parts of potatoes and tomatoes are dangerous.

Look around your home and proof it for your pet. At your next Vet visit, ask about the signs of potential poisoning and learn what other steps you can take to prevent that from happening.
