On a hot summer day (or any day), there’s nothing better than a bowl of clean cool water. If you want to jazz up your pup’s drinking habits, consider getting a PetSafe Drinkwell water fountain. They filter regular tap water, and drinking from a fountain sure is fun! Another bonus? As many cats are mesmerized by streaming water, your kitty will love it too! (PetSafe.net/drinkwell)

I love these collars I recently found from “Wild One.” They’re made with super strong flex-poly strap and are easy to clean. I guess they’re also odor resistant…a bonus for dogs who swim a lot. No more stinky wet collars! This clean, simple design complements all dog breeds and works well with all coat shades, as they come in a variety of great colors. (WildOne.com)

Though I’ve no medical background, I’m really struggling with his one. DoggieWater seems to be like the new “sports drink” for pups! It’s a vitamin water designed specifically for dogs and has lots of key vitamins and nutrients in it. It’s available in chicken, bacon or steak flavors, and apparently our parents just add it to our water bowls. I don’t know about you…but I think plain fresh water is just fine! (MyDoggieWater.com)

If you love home decor and great fabrics, you’ll love the great selection of dog beds from Lilly & Abbie! Each custom bed is handmade, and you may select from over 250 stunning fabrics to create a look that will complement your décor…or your pet’s coat color! (LillyAndAbbie.com)

Once again, what will humans come up with next? Well, here you go…croclike shoes for dogs! Personally, I’ve always thought Crocs® looked a bit funny on people. But I can’t imagine the humiliation of having to wear a pair to the beach, dog park or strutting around town…yikes! (RuffHouzin.com)

Well, this pet bed really takes the cake! I couldn’t stop barking when I came across it online recently. Even though I often ‘diss’ on cats, I wouldn’t want any little kitty to have to sleep in a garlic bud! This sure is a stinky design in my book. Once again, peeps are taking petdesign a bit too far!
