Neue Galerie presents a new brand, Neue Hund, a line of chic canine couture and luxe accessories inspired by the museum’s mascot, a chocolate miniature Schnauzer named Milly von Barksky (the model). The line was conceived by museum director Renée Price, who travels the world to assemble the finest accessories for dogs and their owners, made by some of the most talented designers. Every item incorporates the principles of Vienna 1900 design: a refined aesthetic, exquisite materials, and superior craftsmanship. In other words, these are for the most distinguished and discerning of doggies.
The Hund Travel Carrier is made from hand-sewn chocolate brown calf-skin with comfortable hand-stitched leather handles, detachable woven shoulder strap, and nickel-plated brass hardware. Suitable for pets up to 20 lbs. Produced by R. Horn’s Wien.

BÄSTIS is a cute stand for food bowls designed by Monika Mulder for IKEA. The four paws raise the bowl so that bigger dogs don’t need to bend down too far to munch.
Kevy K introduced me to their products and I really like the Lamar and Gisele bowls. They are sleek, modern and simple yet also very organic. Hand carved out of onyx, travertine, black rock or marble, these bowl will run you a pretty penny but are truly a luxury for your pet. Since they’re individually made from natural materials, no two bowls are alike. I bet they weigh a ton!

Remember back when I posted about these Greenies Pill Pockets? Well, I invested in a bag of the Roasted Duck and Pea Formula
, which they call their “Allergy Formula,” so that I can give Lulu some pills at night. I got the capsules, but they also have a tablet size
.
The bag was somewhere around $8, which I thought was a little high, but I’m sure you could get them on sale or use a coupon. Certainly not a product you would want to purchase if you give your dog a pill once or twice a day every day all year long. However, these are great for when you need to give your dog some medicine for shortened periods of time.

If you’ve been anywhere near the Northeast in the past 2 weeks then you’ve experienced the unforgiving heat wave we’ve had to endure. Every day, I took my pups outside for an afternoon walk and we got about 10 paces and then they just stopped. And panted. And walked 1 step and stopped again to pant. Then we would go inside and they’d inhale gallons of water.
It got me thinking about my dog’s hydration. A few weeks back Brian sent me information about his company and product, Dogdration. Dogdration is deionized water for dogs that is enhanced with electrolytes for hydration, ginseng for health, as well as glucosamine for hips and joints. It is also flavored with allergen free all natural peanut butter flavoring — yum!

Do you use your regular sponge to clean your pet’s bowl? Guilty.
Don’t ever forget which sponge you use to clean your dog’s bowl again with these bone-shapes sponges!
Andrea over at Bocce’s Bakery sent me some of her Grandma’s Apple Pie snacks for my puppies. They’re a really good size for my dogs — not too big yet satisfying enough. Not much I can say about the bone-shape except that I still find it adorable even though it’s pretty played out.
The ingredients: organic oat flour, local NY organic apples, local NY clover honey, fresh ground organic peanut butter, and organic non-fat yogurt. Sounds like something I would have for breakfast. I like that they don’t have too much grain in them and that she uses local ingredients. And PB. My dogs, like most dogs can’t get enough peanut buttery goodness.

PetFlow is a new online shopping and delivery service that allows you to preselect your pet’s favorite food (including brand, size and flavor) and schedule recurring deliveries based on your pet’s eating habits and dietary needs. The products get delivered straight to your door so you never have to worry about running out of dog food at the last minute or lugging heavy bags back from the pet store again (I always have to make the husband come with me to haul our bag up to our third floor apartment)!
PetFlow boasts more than 50 brands for dogs and cats, including dry and wet food, treats, and even Wee Wee pads. You can filter your search based on special dietary needs or lifestyle conditions, such as weight management, dental health, organic ingredients and skin needs.
Unfortunately, they don’t currently carry Zinpro (be warned: worst website ever!), which is the brand that my dogs eat. If they did and the price was right, you can bet your wet nose I’d be singing up for this service. Only ONE STORE near me carries Zinpro, and that is one of the only stores in the US that carries this brand in stock.
Would you use an automatic pet food delivery service?
