Pet World Supply - Pet Supplies for Less

Balls are on ropes now :)

2010-06-15T18:24:00.000-04:00

I'm back and fully recuperated. In fact I'm so fully recuperated that it's time for my human to break out one of my favorite training items - the Ball on a Rope. Now this isn't just any ball on a rope, mind you. This one is specially made for www.petworldsupply.com by Canine Extreme. This is one of the few balls that is custom made for training and boy is it fantastic! When I see my human bring out this ball it can only mean one thing...we are going to train and it's going to be FUN! It's the perfect length rope for my human and the perfect texture of ball for me. I really want to please my human so I can be rewarded with it. Sometimes I don't even want to let go!

You can order one of these balls at www.petworldsupply.com by going to this link http://store.petworldsupply.com/ball-on-a-rope-p111.aspx . They really are the best!

Hi I'm Denny, Gunner's roomie. Here is a picture of me with my main guy, Boss and our son Quantum. Quantum is a police K9 so we're very proud of him. I'm the pretty one on the left with the star on my head.

Anyway, Gunner is feeling a little under the weather so he asked me to write this for him. You see, he went to the vet on Wednesday and when he came home he had a couple of things missing. But he said he'll be fine in a few days and suggested I write about my favorite toy from http://www.petworldsupply.com/. If I had to pick just one toy it would be my Wubba! The last time I was in the store we were wandering around looking at all the cool toys and there it was, right in front of me. A brand new Wubba. And it was purple!! I had one in red and one in blue already at home, but I looked up at my human with my big brown eyes and just begged for it. Well my human, being the indulgent person that she is, just couldn't resist and gave in. The ones I own now have lasted 3 years already and I'm pretty rough on them. They have two balls in them (unlike Gunner now) and they squeak! They're covered with a very durable material that I can hardly chew through. And boy do I like to shake them and make the flappy parts hit me! You can go to http://www.petworldsupply.com/ and browse through all their toys for dogs, or you can just click on the link http://store.petworldsupply.com/dog-toys-c93.aspx and it will take you right to the Wubbas. And the best part is you can order them in any size you want!

Balls

2010-05-22T13:21:00.001-04:00

You just gotta love balls. Everyone does. There are so many things you can do with balls. You can run after them if a human throws them. You can chase them if you toss them yourself. Although not too far. I can only get a distance of about three feet, maybe 6 if it rolls. Still, it's fun. You can tease another dog with them and say "ha ha now *I* have the ball and you don't". You can hide it in the yard and watch your human look for it for a long time, all the while only *you* know where it is. Sometimes if they don't find it they will buy you a new one and then you can surprise them with the old one! You can push them with your nose as far under a couch or chair as you can get it and then bark at them until your human gets down on their hands and knees and uses a tool to get it out. (One of my personal favorites.) Then of course, once they get all comfortable in their chair, do it again! You can hide a ball under a pine tree and get pine sap on your human when they go to get it. (Another favorite.) You can toss your ball in a lake or pool and then have an excuse to go swimming. And the big one----you can drop it in the toilet!! Humans think it's gross. I don't see why. I kind of like having a nice clean ball.

But in my opinion there is one ball that stands out above all others. The one ball that is my "go to" toy. The one ball that I'll dig through my toy box for until I find it. The one ball I must have because it is....... magic! This ball is the Orbee Glow Ball. Do you know why they call it that? IT GLOWS IN THE DARK!!!! I can play fetch with my humans after the sun goes down! And guess who sells it? http://www.petworldsupply.com/ of course! So far I have not lost the two of these I have. But at least my human knows where to order another one. In fact she has bookmarked the link directly to this ball at http://www.petworldsupply.com/. I saw her put it under "favorites". It's http://store.petworldsupply.com/glow-ball-p711.aspx. My birthday is coming up in July. A dog can hope.

Do you want to know what bugs me????

2010-05-15T18:20:00.000-04:00

Fleas and ticks! Get it? BUGS me? Sometimes I just crack myself up. But seriously…spring is here and it’s time for those nasty critters to start annoying those of us with fur. If you go to http://www.petworldsupply.com/ they have tons of stuff you can use to not only get rid of them, but to prevent them from bugging you in the first place. They carry stuff from Adams, Advantage, Frontline, Four Paws, Natural Chemistry, Preventic, Veterinary Formula and Zodiac. Whew, I’m out of breath.

My humans use a flea and tick preventative on Denny and me. The one they like the most is Frontline Plus because it is waterproof. Since I like to swim I need something that will last a full month. And it’s so easy to use. Denny and I were eating our dinner and our human just broke open the capsule and put it between our shoulder blades and we were done. Nothing to it! Didn’t feel a thing. Not that I’m a sissy or anything like that.

And ordering from http://www.petworldsupply.com/ is so easy. All you have to do is click on the link in the previous sentence. Then look on the left side of the page and it says Flea and Tick and you click on it and it takes you to all the goodies you could want for flea and tick prevention. Or, to make it even easier, just click on this link http://store.petworldsupply.com/flea--tick-c83.aspx and it will take you directly to the flea and tick products. But don’t forget when you’re done to go back to the home page and look around for other good stuff!

My Introduction

2010-05-13T10:40:00.000-04:00

Hi folks. My name is Gunner Canine Extreme. I’ve been selected as spokesdog for a wonderful online store called www.PetWorldSupply.com. This is the online version of the real brick and mortar store Pet World Supply located in beautiful Key West.

I was born here in Key West which makes me a Conch. My humans are my mama and papa, their daughter, son, daughter in law and new baby. My fur family is another German Shepherd Dog named Denny. She’s a girl but plays like a boy. The other is a cat named Tiger. He’s about 18 years old, give or take. I’ve lived here in the Florida Keys almost all my life, but a couple of years ago my humans bought a house in Michigan where they are from. Denny and I have lots of room to run and a big pool to swim in. We were down in the Keys for the winter and to babysit the human baby and I just arrived back in Michigan a week ago.

I will be writing reviews on lots of the great pet supply products at www.PetWorldSupply.com. It is truly an amazing store with personal service and all the cool pet supplies you can imagine. But of course my favorite things are the dog toys! So start looking for my reviews in a couple of days for all the wonderful things that www.PetWorldSupply.com has to offer.

Pet Supplies: Shop Online and Avoid Aggravations

2010-03-26T11:41:00.000-04:00

It is part of owning a pet. You need to make sure you have all the supplies you need to properly take care of that pet. Whether you are the proud owner of a dog, cat, bird, fish, or small creature, you will need the supplies that will provide correctly for your friend. In addition, since each pet’s needs are different, you will need to find a place to purchase what you need without much hassle.

However, if you have been in a pet supply store recently, you know just what a hassle it can be. You will have to deal with shopping around other customers. You will have to deal with limited choices for products, and the store may not even have what you need. Then, you will have to deal with waiting in line. To even get to the pet store, you will have to deal with traffic and spend money on fuel.

Instead of dealing with all the hassle, you can choose an option, which will provide you with access to all the pet supplies you need. Whether you need cat food, dog beds, aquarium filters, or bird toys, you will find plenty of options right online.

Obviously, when you shop for pet supplies online, you no longer have to deal with the hassle of waiting in line and driving to a store. You will find that clicking on at item, purchasing it, and then having it delivered to your home is much, much easier.

Finally, when you find a pet supply store that you can count on, you will no longer have to shop around for products.

Remember that your pet is a responsibility. You will need to make sure you provide what they need for their health and their happiness. Choosing to shop online for supplies can provide you ease of use while still properly caring for your pet.

Three Types of Cat Supplies You and the Kitty Need

2010-03-24T11:39:00.000-04:00

Whether you just brought Fluffy home, or Whiskers has been a part of your family for years, you will need to be able to choose the right cat products to meet her needs. Cats do have different needs from dogs or other types of pets, but you can easily choose the right supplies for your feline friend.

When you get ready to shop for cat supplies, keep in mind that there are three main categories of supplies you will need to choose from. Keep in mind also that each cat will have her own specialty needs, so you cannot forget that.

1. Cat Food. Obviously, Mrs. Kitty will need quality food. Cats are carnivores and need food that is designed just for them. Dog food is not sufficient because it includes vegetable matter designed for canine omnivores. When you choose cat food, you will need to decide if you want to feed your furry friend canned or dry food. Next, you will need to decide what formula of food you want. Cat foods can be tailored to feed kittens or adult cats and can include weight control, hairball control, and urinary tract health.

2. Cat Toys. You know that Patches will need plenty of play toys, and there are plenty to choose from. Cat toys can include catnip or feathers, jingle balls, or crinkle things. Keep in mind that every cat’s personality is different, and yours may prefer one type of toy over the other.

3. Behavior and Training. This category will include the litter and litter pan that you will need for the kitty, but it also includes certain behavior needs for cats, like calming sprays or sprays that will keep cats off forbidden areas.

When you are caring for a cat, whether young or old, you will need to make sure you have all of the cat supplies they will need.

Three Things to Look for When Choosing a Pet Store

2010-03-22T11:37:00.001-04:00

Finding a pet store can be more than a little aggravating. You may find one that has the supplies you want, but includes a long commute or long lines. You may find one nearby that does not have all of the supplies you need. You may choose to shop online and find yourself lost in a sea of options. However, you can make finding the right store quick and simple just by looking for certain traits.

In order to choose a pet store that will supply you with what you need, then look for the following three traits. By doing this, you can easily narrow down your options and you will no longer have to deal with frustrations.

1. Know what supplies you need. There are certain pet supplies that you know you will continually need, specifically food, grooming products, and such items as cat litter. You will need to think about the products and brands that you prefer to use. Then, choose the option that includes all of these products. Otherwise, you might find yourself dealing with another frustration when you cannot get the products you need.

2. Consider online shopping. Instead of dealing with a physical store, online shopping can offer you much. You will be able to choose from a wider variety of products. You will also be able to shop when you want, whether it is during the day or the night. In addition, you will not have to wait in lines, which is a big time, and headache, saver.

3. Choose an option that provides quality customer service. This is something that you may not think about until its too late. Choose a company that has a proven record for providing quality customer service and you will find yourself buying products from them over and over.

When you need the right supplies for your pet, make sure you pick the right pet store so that you will save yourself frustration and time when you need to shop.

Shopping Online for Dog and Pet Supplies

2010-03-19T11:36:00.000-04:00

Taking good care of your dog means making sure you have all the supplies needed to provide him a healthy and happy life at your home. You will need to provide vital dog and pet supplies like food, bowls, collars and identification. You will also want to provide such items as toys, treats, leashes, beds, kennels, and flea products. However, shopping for these items can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you do not live near a pet supply store.

There is an option that is better, whether you live near a supply store or not. This option is to shop online. The Internet has provided us with a number of conveniences that make our lives so much easier, and this includes shopping for dog and pet supplies. When you shop with a safe site, you will find that this is the only way to go. Below, you will find three reasons to shop online for all your furry friend’s needs.

1. It is convenient. One of the best things about shopping online is that you can do so without leaving your home. You do not have to take time out of your day to drive somewhere. Instead, you can shop when you want, even if that time is three o’clock in the morning on a Tuesday.

2. It gives you more options. When you shop online at a store, you will have access to all of the pet supplies you could think of, meaning you will have choices, and you will not have to settle for whatever the store has.

3. It is simple. All you have to do is click on a product and purchase it. You will not have to wait in line, and you will not have to deal with traffic. Shopping online offers a simplicity you cannot gain elsewhere.

When you own a dog, you know how important the proper supplies are. You can make purchasing those supplies all the easier by shopping online.

Tailor Your Dog’s Diet with the Right Dog Food

2010-03-17T11:37:00.000-04:00

Owning a dog comes with a great deal of responsibility. Of course, when you care for your pet, that responsibility is not so much a burden and more of a part of taking care of your furry friend. One such responsibility is feeding your dog, and since, just like you, he will need to eat everyday, you will want to make sure he has quality sustenance that will provide a healthy life.

Animals are much like humans. If they consume foods with junk in them, the animal can suffer from the ill effects. Dogs can suffer obesity, heart problems, and many other health issues that can come from not eating nutritious meals. Of course, you want your four-legged friend to live a long life, so you will need to choose his food carefully.

When you pick a dog food brand like Science Diet, you can tailor your pet’s meals to meet his particular needs. By choosing the right meals for your dog, you can make sure he is receiving the right foods to stay healthy.

When it comes to choosing the right food, you will find that you have plenty of options. If you choose dry food, you will find formulas that are made to provide for active dogs, overweight dogs, elderly pets, and puppies. There are even specialty lamb and rice formulas for dogs that need extra nutrition.

If you prefer canned food for your furry friend, you will find formulas for adult and elderly dogs in a range of flavors. After all, your pet deserves to have flavor in his diet as well.

No matter your dog’s particular nutrition needs, you can tailor his diet to meet them. By choosing the right foods, you can make sure your dog is healthy and happy. You will be glad to enjoy his companionship for years to come.

Four Vital Dog Products for Your Pet’s Health

2010-03-15T11:34:00.000-04:00

There are plenty of dog products to choose from. How do you know which ones your pet needs? How do you know which ones are vital and which are just for fun? When you get ready to go shopping for the right supplies, you may need a guide of sorts that can tell you what to look for. When you shop online for pet supplies, you can take the time to compare various products and follow the guide. Below, you will find a list of items that would be considered vital for your pet’s well-being.

You will need to start with food and a water supply. Choosing food will mean you pick the right meals for your dog based on its age, size, and breed. By choosing the right food, you can make sure your dog is healthy. Your dog will need a constant supply of fresh water, so make sure you purchase a large enough bowl to hold plenty of the liquid.

The next category of vital dog products would be bedding. You will need to choose a bed that is comfortable and provides enough room for the pet to sleep comfortably. You may even want to purchase a kennel or crate for the dog to sleep in.

Grooming products are another vital item for your dog’s well-being. You will need the proper shampoo, and you can choose from flea shampoos and skin and coat types depending on your dog’s need. A good comb or brush is important too, even if your dog is shorthaired.

Finally, you will need certain health supplies. A quality flea and tick product will keep your dog from becoming infested. You will also want to look at supplements like vitamins for your dog’s health.

While there may be many more types of supplies you choose for your furry friend, the above categories are essential for its health and happiness.

Five Pet Supply Categories You Need to Know

2010-03-12T11:34:00.000-05:00

You just got a new dog, or maybe you are thinking about adopting one. You may be feeling a little overwhelmed by the number of supplies you will need and the amount of choices you will have. How do you know what your dog needs? To help out, all you need to do is break the pet supply options into categories. Then, you can choose just the items you need for your new four-legged friend.

1. Sustenance. Of course, your new companion will need to have food and water daily. You will need food that is designed for your pet, whether he is a puppy, a grown dog, a kitten, a cat, or an aged pet. In addition to the food, you will need bowls to feed him in and a quality water bowl. Remember that pets need water at all times.

2. Bedding and Shelter. You will need to make sure your furry friend has a good place to sleep. You will need to choose a bed that is suited for your pet. In addition, you may need a kennel or crate, especially if your new dog is not yet housetrained.

3. Collars and Extras. Of course, your new pet will need a collar with the proper ID tag on it. Even if he never goes outside, an ID tag is important in case he gets away from you. In addition, you will need a leash.

4. Healthcare. You will need products like vitamins, flea treatments, and shampoo to make sure your pet’s health and hygiene are properly cared for.

5. Playtime. Choose toys and treats that are designed for your pet’s age and size. You will want to make sure your furry friend has plenty of play and exercise through proper toys!

Choosing the right pet products can seem a little overwhelming, but all you need to do is make sure you cover the above categories, and you will find the process is quite simple.

Finding the Right Pet Products is as Easy as 1-2-3

2010-03-10T11:33:00.000-05:00

Shopping for your pet can be much like shopping for yourself. You will need to make sure your pet has food, health supplies, entertainment options, and treats. When you think about it, your pet needs many of the same things that you do, with the exception of clothing. However, choosing pet supplies can be confusing. You may find so many different brands of food with no idea of which one is right.

Shopping for pet products does not have to be confusing; however, all you need to do is ask yourself three questions. Armed with the answers to the questions, you will be able to find just the right products you need.

1. What kind of pet am I buying for? The may seem obvious, but it is the very first thing you need to address. You cannot feed dog food to your cat, and you cannot clean your fish tank with a cat brush. Before you begin shopping, take stock of what pets you are buying for. This way, you will not get distracted by other items.

2. What pet products do I need? Just as with regular shopping, if you do not know what you are shopping for, you can find yourself confused. Again, before you begin shopping, make sure you have a clear idea of what you need. This way, you will easily be able to locate the items.

3. Does my pet have a special need or requirement? This can help you weed through product types and brands. If your dog suffers from dry skin, you would want to choose a medicated shampoo. If your cat is pudgy, you would want to choose weight control foods.

Shopping for pet products does not have to be confusing. Just ask yourself the right questions and you will find that you know just what to buy after all.

Fight Fleas with Frontline Plus for Dogs

2010-03-08T11:32:00.000-05:00

If you have a pet, then you have most likely dealt with them at least once. You know the aggravation when you see your four-legged friend scratching at those annoying flea bites, or when one of the insects hops on your arm. To make matters worse, one flea on your dog is usually an indicator of thousands more of the bugs lurking in your yard, at the park, or even in the carpet in your home. Fleas are annoying. They are a pest. They can drive your poor pet crazy with itch.

In addition, some dogs suffer from flea allergies, leading to incessant itching and pain along with hair loss and damaged skin. Even despite the allergies, the bugs can cause a great deal of discomfort for your pet. If the infestation gets too out of control, they can even make your dog ill.

Once your dog brings them home, the fleas can invade your house, making homes in the carpet and attacking any other pets you have. The nuisance can easily turn into full blown war.

The best defense against fleas is to stop them before they get in your house by making sure your four-legged friend is protected from them. By keeping the bugs off your dog, you can keep them from getting in your home. You can do this by making use of a topical treatment, like Frontline Plus for dogs.

This medication is placed on the dog’s skin once a month. It is waterproof so you do not have to worry about it washing away. In addition to killing fleas almost instantly, the medication also kills ticks, protecting your furry friend from an assortment of tick born diseases.

Instead of letting the hopping little insects from invading your home, you can take action by treating your dog with the proper dose of the medication. This will save you and your dog from a great deal of annoyance and frustration.

Choosing Dog Toys for Play and Exercise

2010-03-05T10:44:00.002-05:00

You when you adopt a new dog, most likely, the first two things you will think of for purchase will be food and toys. You know that your new companion will need food and water to survive. You also know that you want him to be happy, so you will want to provide fun and entertaining toys for him to enjoy.

Not all dog toys are the same, however. You will need to choose options that are designed for the size and age of your dog for his own safety. You will also want to choose toys that will provide him exercise and entertainment. In fact, there are a few categories of toys, and you will want to choose items from each.

Play toys are often the most considered category. These are items that are made sheerly for your furry friend’s entertainment. These toys can include stuffed animals that are designed for dogs, squeaky toys, and chew items. The chew toys actually serve two purposes: entertaining your dog and often helping with his dental hygiene.

Exercise toys are also an important category. Just as people need a certain amount of exercise each day, your dog does too. Choose items that will keep you interacting with him as well, like balls and other fetching toys, tug of war ropes, and Frisbees.

Mental toys will provide your dog with fun while stimulating his mind as well. These can include toys that are hollow so that you can place treats inside or other puzzle style items.

When you adopt a new dog, you will want to make sure he has all the supplies he needs along with the right toys for his size and age. Choose toys from each of the above categories so that you can make sure he is properly cared for and happy.

Dog Shampoo: It is Not All the Same

2010-03-03T11:20:00.000-05:00

Many people make a mistake when choosing grooming products for their dog. They think that all dog shampoo is the same, and they pick up whatever bottle is cheapest or whichever is easiest. However, just as with people, different dogs have different needs, depending on their skin type and coat. Choosing the right shampoo is very important for your dog.

Flea and tick shampoo may be one of the most popular categories. This product will help kill any fleas that are currently on your dog. When used in conjunction with a flea product, the shampoo can be very effective. However, since the product can dry a dog’s skin, it only needs to be used if there is a flea problem. Other types of shampoos will suffice if your dog does not have fleas.

Some dogs have a particular problem with dry skin or skin allergies. Often, in these cases, standard shampoos are not the best option. You will need to look for medicated shampoos that will help clear any skin problems and sooth your pet’s skin. For dry skin and dull looking fur, oatmeal shampoo or other hydrating types can be quite helpful.

If you are looking to just make sure your pet’s fur is clean and silky, you can choose a deodorizing shampoo or one that is conditioning. These products will work best to clean your dog’s fur.

In addition to these types, there are specialty shampoos that you may want to consider. Puppy shampoo will not be too harsh on the little one’s skin. Detangling shampoo can be helpful on longhaired dogs. If you have a white dog, you can even find options to clean the easily stained fur.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that all dog shampoo is the same. Make sure you choose the right type for his needs so that he will be healthy and look his very best.

Dog Supplies that are Vital for Your Pet’s Well-Being

2010-03-01T11:27:00.000-05:00

When you bring home your new four-legged friend, whether he is a brand new little puppy or he is a mature full-grown dog that you adopted, you will need to make sure you have the proper supplies for his well-being. While there are some dog supplies that are vital for a pet no matter his age, there are others that are specific to a need. In any case, you will need to decide the right items in order to properly take care of your pet.

Of course, there are items that you have to purchase for your dog. Most of these may seem common sense, but let’s take a moment to go over them. Your pet will need food. You can choose to purchase meals that will meet his particular age and need, including puppy meals, mature dog formulas, active food, and overweight dog plans. You will also need bowls for your pet to feed him in and to provide water. Dogs need a constant supply of fresh water at all times.

Further, your new companion will need a place to sleep, like a comfortable dog bed. Make sure to choose one that gives him room to sleep comfortably. He will need a collar with proper ID tags and a leash so that you can walk him.

Above are listed the must haves for proper care of your furry friend. Next, let us discuss what I like to call the strongly recommended items. No matter your dog’s age, he will need exercise and play items like chew toys, balls, and treats. His mind and body needs to be exercised just as yours does. You may also need to purchase a kennel or crate, training aids, and flea products.

Your new four-legged friend is sure to become your companion, providing the boundless love only a dog can offer. Make sure he is properly cared for with the right supplies and products.

Fleecy Clean Dog Toys For Dog Training

2010-02-24T15:16:00.001-05:00

Fleecy Cleans- The Ultimate Young Dog Training Toy

When it comes to dog training sometimes it's hard to find the all around perfect toy that will make your dog "come, sit & stay". I think main reason is because no two dogs are a like and there are many different phases to the development and growth if your dog.

This is why I choose to use Fleecy Clean Dog Toys when I am teaching a puppy or young dog the basic obedience. During this stage of adolescence dogs are usually changing their teeth. Getting rid of their puppy teeth and growing out their adult teeth. During this time a pup can feel a lot of discomfort with chew hard toys. The fleecy clean toy is soft and allows a lot of 'give' when a dig bites down it. The toy massages the gums and cleans what teeth are left or growing. With he fleecy clean dog toy you can still play with your dog while he or she is changing their teeth without the fear of discomfort.
