Zesty Paws is Paw Licken Good

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Our kitty Steve really loves his treats so when I was able to try Zesty Paws Select Essentials Freeze Dried Raw Treats I jumped at the chance to give Steve something new.  As you can see by the below pictures he enjoyed it so much I couldn't even get a picture in before he wanted to try a few. 

What I love about this product is that there is only one ingredient. Raw Chicken, so even though it looks cooked after being freeze dried and is human grade, remember it is raw. I also like that this is GMO Free, and can be used for both cats or dogs. My kitty likes it as a treat but you can also use it as a topper on their dry or wet food to give them a new spin on an old favorite.

Fun Cat ball Toy

Having had small pets throughout my lifetime we have been through our share of toys. From extra large toys for our Saint Bernard to tiny toys for our hamsters and birds. Most of the time though our home has been filled with Kitty toys, but none quite like this.

This is a hard ball that rattles, is covered by twine, with an attached cord and feather.  It has sound, sight, and texture to keep your kitty entertained. Myself I wouldn't use this for a dog that likes to chew but I would use this for a ferret they would enjoy this very much.

I know lots of kitties that will have a ball with this. It can be found at my affiliate link below.

Hanging Cat Hammock

Soon as I saw this I knew it would be perfect for when we have ferrets again. It can also be use for kitties as well. It is super cute with stars on one side with the other side being soft and snuggly. It attaches easily to a cage or can even be added to some cat trees depending on how yours is set up. I know our kitties loved because of the softness. What I love most is that this is machine washable which makes keeping it clean super simple. I just hang to dry or place in a bag if you are going to dry so you don't hear the metal rings bouncing around.

Keep your pets teeth healthy

This is the first time I have seent dog toothbrushes available to use. I have always used an older toothbrush our family had traded in for a new one.

I have brushed my pets teeth since I was little, I thought it was just natural to take care of their teeth like I did my own.

I even have video of my grand daughter brushing our Saint Bernards teeth when we had her. I am really love this set as the toothbrush can reach far back in even a large dogs mouth without having to put my whole hand in their mouth.

You have to be really trusting to do this with any dog. I love that this also comes with finger brushes which help you get every nook and cranny. Most of the time I just use plain water but there are toothpastes out their for dogs we just never bought them. It would be interesting to see if our next dog will like it or not.

Keeping your dogs teeth healthy is just the next step to a happy life with your pet.

The Next Level Pet Toothbrush set can be found on Amazon.



According to the American Veterinary Dental College, it is important to brush you dogs teeth every day. It has a tremendous effect on their comfort and health. But, having a vet brush your dog's teeth can be expensive and often ineffective in the long term. That is because your dog needs to be brushed 2-7 days per week! With our dog toothbrush variety pack, you can now learn to brush your dogs teeth.

Portion Paw®

Looking for a pet food scoop that also measures for you? You might want to check out the Portion Paw® which does both for you.

None of our animals are overweight but I have still taught our children to measure out the animals food so that they are fed well but not too much.

This scoop does it all from our kittens to our Saint Bernard. It has 1 cup 1/2 cup and 1/3 cup measurement. Very happy with this scoop. The best part is what it has a clip so you can keep it attached to your pet food bag, We added a magnet on the back of ours so it would stick to our cabinet for easy grabbing when needed.

Kitty Fun

We have three kitties and they love to play around. Most of the time it is in the wee hours of the morning when we hear them running back and forth across the floor, knocking things down, but we do see them during the day as well cleaning each other, cuddling, and forever crawling on my chest or lap to sleep.

This tunnel is something we can set up and they will come back again and again to play with. They have a great time popping in and out of the holes and trying to catch each other.

Awesome fun for your active kitties. Easy to set up and folds flat for storage in between uses.

Stainless Steel 32 Ounce Dog Bowls

We have been looking for a great set of bowls for our Saint Bernard and even though these could be larger for her they still work great. They hold just enough food for one feeding for her. She is a big girl and she likes to eat.

I like that these have a none slip ring around the bottom and that they taper wider to the floor so my Saint doesn't knock over her bowl while eating. These are well made and we are happy with them.

Double handle leash

This is a great leash for those who need to be able to let their dogs have more space but be able to rein them in a bit when needed. Our Saint loves room to do her own thing, but there are times when people set her off. I do with that feeling because if she doesn't like them, they probably are not good people, but sometimes she is just being protective of her area, myself, or the kids.

To be honest we have only had her go after someone once and she ran then stopped 10 feet in front of them not letting them near us. She did what she was supposed to do to protect us. The people didn't do anything else so she never had to go any further herself.

We had never even trained her to do this but she knew just what to do and we were very proud of her. Since my husband has been injured we depend on our dog to protect us. She is mainly my protector with protecting the kids second and my husband last.

Now with that being said our dog is about as Gentle as you can get with her being a Saint but like I said sometimes she doesn't like people and we have to rein her in a bit to be closer to us and to make sure she doesn't bite anyone, which hasn't happened yet and with her being 7 years old I don't see it happening unless she starts to get senile.

You can find the double handle leash on Amazon.

No more yapping

There are plenty of training collars out there but if the only problem you have is a yappy dog, then you might be interested in Bark Control Collar. DogControlPro makes a pretty good one that you might want to try.

Unlike others this one is waterproof, has a long battery life between 6-18 months depending on use, and has an on and off switch. Easy to use but not recommended for small dogs.  Has different size nubs depending on your dogs hair length and size. Has 3 different levels of control so you can choose the that will work best for your pet. I suggest starting off on the lowest and working your way up to find the right setting.

What DogControlPro has to say about their product.

Digital Microprocessor Automatic Bark Training Collar

This is one of the only automatic bark collars on the market that is run by a digital microchip system instead of a mechanical sensor. This means no false corrections that plague other automatic collars and will only correct when the dog wearing the collar is barking.

This collar solves the 3 most often complained about problems with automatic collars.
1) It is waterproof so can be worn while swimming or in heavy rain
2) It has an on/off switch to conserve battery life
3) It comes with a lithium ion battery INCLUDED that will last between 6-18 months instead of 3 days-3 weeks

This collar is made of high quality materials instead of cheap plastic components and the difference is even noticeable to the touch.

The collar strap is adjustable for almost all size dogs and there are 3 different levels of correction for dogs that range from "timid" to "stubborn"

Retractable leashes are great to have for pets who like to run ahead. When you need them to heal then you just lock it to the length you need.

Shiny Fur

Our pets loved to be brushed and cared for. Petting, brushing, combing they all love it as long as you are not hurting them. This brush from Shed Ninja is great because it has a pivoting head that goes with the contour of your animals body. Love that it has rounded metal bristles instead of sharp pieces because our kitties really enjoy this much better then the latter.

Different brushes do different things to your pets fur, of course you also need to find a brush both your pet loves and works for what you need it for.
This one, kind of takes care of it all if you regularly brush your pets will help create long lasting shine, as well as less shedding because you will catch more of the fur in the brush before it ever hits your floor, furniture, or clothes.

Feed my Pooch

If you travel with your pet you might want to invest in a set of these Collapsible bowls to be able to feed them on the run. Great for both smaller dogs and cats. Too small for our Saint Bernard her snout won't even fit inside.

I think these are great since then fold flat take up nearly no room, can fit on your belt buckle or even your dogs collar while hiking, walking, or traveling. I would like to see these made in larger sizes for the large and giant breed dogs in the future. Other then that these are pretty neat.
