It's Summer! We've been taking Rocky out for his walks about2-3x/day and by the 3rd walk he is pooped! So he just lays back & enjoys the view! Luckily we don't have to worry about fleas OR ticks b/c all three of our pups are rocking' their Shoo! Tags. As u can see below the tags are small & just hang on his collar w/ his charms ;) What a handsome stud if I do say so myself!

FELIZ CINCO DE MAYO!!! Hope everyone has a fanastic day & dont forget to give your pup his own"Mutt-gurr-ita!"
Undercover investigations, like PETA's 2008 footage from an Iowa pig farm that resulted in 22 counts of livestock neglect and abuse, are critical in helping officials enforce anti-cruelty laws.
Whether you're a meat-eater or a vegan, you can stand behind the humane treatment of animals, so please CICK HERE to tell the governors of these states that we all deserve to know what happens behind closed doors on factory farms.
Its that time of year again...Summer! Well living here in Miami-it's been summer-lol! Our pups go out 4 their walks in the AM & come back pooped out & HOT! They just want to lay out on the cold tile floor and relax!
We love all our products and they are ALL good 4 ur pet & our Planet but we do have our faves & one of them is "Smart Pup". This product was introduced 2 us at the Global Pet Expo last year & we have had a great response w/ it! Dogs loooooove this stuff! It comes in a small plastic container as shown in the picture above and its like a Peanut Butter pudding. Now u may ask y would i give my dog pudding on a hot summer day? Well we personally looooove splitting them up and putting about a Tsp. into a silicon muffin tray and freezing them! Our Pups can not get enough of them-they come in from outside and go straight 2 the freezer door-sit and look up at us, like saying "Ok take it out we know its in there!" The best part is that each flavor has beneficial ingredients to help your dogs diet!

You may ask yourself..."How can I go Green w/ my pet?" Well we here to help! When thinking about "Going Green" people tend to think its either too expensive or time consuming, when in reality it REALLY isn't! You can help the environment in the most simplest ways!
1. Use Biodegradable Poop Bags:
2. Feed Organic:
The lowest-impact diet for your pup is a homemade meal full of organic, locally grown ingredients. By using meats, grains and vegetables farmed in your community.
If you don’t want to cook your dog’s meals, you could supplement its kibble or canned diet with fresh fruits and vegetables. You can add organic vegetables, carrots and green beans,try fruits like blueberries and bananas, or organic yogurts. Mix in some steamed vegetables, organic chicken or salmon.”
If you feed your dog a commercially made diet, choose one that’s certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Pet foods that bear the USDA Organic seal are grown on chemical-free farmland, manufactured in facilities that avoid synthetic chemicals in their processing, and are inspected regularly to ensure separation of organic and non-organic materials (such as chemical fertilizer).

3. Choose toys made from sustainable or recycled materials:
Toy makers are designing toys made with sustainable materials, such as hemp, bamboo and phthalate-free rubber. (Phthalates are chemicals added to plastic and rubber toys to make them flexible and pliable.) They’re stuffed with reclaimed cotton and colored with all-natural vegetable dyes. They’re safer for the dogs and they’re healthier for the environment!
Check out all of Bark4Green's Toys-they are ALL ECO-FRIENDLY & MADE IN THE USA! http://bit.ly/gZlDGk
4. Support “GREEN” Businesses:
When shopping for your dog or even yourself, patronize stores and purchase products from companies that do their part to reduce their carbon footprints. Ask the retailer if they recycle, how they conserve energy and find out if product makers use alternative power in their manufacturing processes or recycled cardboard in their packaging. If enough consumers demand it, the companies will deliver it -- and that can help our planet in the long run!
And Last but not least my favorite way (that is if you can)...
5. Adopt!!!
Do your part to reduce pet overpopulation: Consider adopting a rescue dog. Approximately six to eight million dogs need homes. These unwanted pets impact the environment by creating excess waste, which affects ground water and contributes to landfills, and requiring food and shelter, which requires energy-gulping manufacturing and electricity.

This just breaks our hearts =( Please do your part & help these beautiful animals survive! We can not believe that people can actually do such harm to living beings such as baby seals...please read below & make a donation!
The clubbing and shooting of baby seals started Monday morning off Newfoundland. Blood now covers the ice -- and seals are dying horribly. Undeterred by seal pups drowning in their melting habitat, the Canadian government sanctioned the killing of 468,200 seals this year -- an increase of 80,000 from 2010.
Luckily the HS is working around the clock to shut down the commercial sealing industry. Their Canadian seafood boycott has grown worldwide, and they're closing markets for seal fur.Your gift will be used exclusively in the HUMANE SOCIETY'S campaign to protect seals.

Hey Guys! So happy 2 finally b back & able 2 blog! We'll definitely be doing more of this more often so make sure 2 ck on our bog on a daily basis & help spread the word!
Lets start w/ our trip to the Global Pet Expo...this year we decided to bring all our dogs w/ us...thats right ALL 3 of our pups! LOL =/ as u can imagine it was a handful but we managed! Below u can c the picture of the 3 pups on the couch of our hotel room...
The pup on the far left is Rocky our Lab mix-Middle: Nina(bichon) & then there is Benji-chiki-man-Major (jack/greyhoud/? Mix) Yup- thats our famous B4G trio! Benji has quite the reputation 4 being the trouble maker (he just turned 1) but the real trouble maker is the the little lady in the middle-Nina! She was the "special" one on this trip! Albeit we know she is going 2 b 16 y/o in a couple of months so she sure knows how 2 press our buttons- she did not want to stay in the room AT ALL! We had to put her in a dog carrier & take her everywhere while the 2 boys stayed in the hotel room with their bones! (btw: the bone we left them w/ was Merrick Natural bones-they absolutely loooove them!)
While at the Expo we came across some really cool products! We loooved Dura Doggie products-our fave is the Beba bone & the Nebo ball! Besides the bright fun colors & durability- 20% of profits goes to a charity-depending on the color: Pink:Breast Cancer/Blue:Animals/Green:The Planet/Orange: Diabetes. The Dura Doggie reps were nice enough to give us a Free Nebo ball for our Benji! Lets just say he can't put it down!
After the Expo we took the pups to Dr.Phillips Dog Park @ 8249 Buenavista Woods Blvd in Orlando & they loved it! Below are some pics...

Just watched a great report on ABC News about how making the choice to "Buy American" can help our economy. They said that if each person were to spend just $64.00 a year on products made in America that it could help create over 200,000 jobs! In the report they featured a couples house in which they removed all of the products that were not made in the USA. The house was almost completely empty! They even took their black labs bed because it was not made in the USA. You can see the story at http://abcnews.go.com/WN/MadeInAmerica/
