Treat Your Pet To Extra TLC With #BabbleBoxx Pet Edition

Currently, we have three pets – one dog and two cats. Dobby is our two year old Lab puppy. Zelda is our four month old long haired kitten, and Jules is our five year old Siamese cat. They sit on us, they sleep with us, and sometimes, they will talk with us. As with any other family member, they need love. And they get love, we all love our pets like crazy. Since pets aren’t humans, communication and forms of affection are quite obviously different. We often go to extra-special lengths to show our human loved ones how we feel on Valentine’s Day, when in truth we should show people we love them every day. The same goes for our pets. One of the many ways we can show our pets how we feel is by spending time with them.

For Dobby, after laying on top of us like a blanket, the activity of choice is playing with a toy. The Hartz® Dura Play® Bone Dog Toy is his latest toy. This natural latex toy bone squeaks and smells like bacon. So it’s like the doggie trifecta – fun, bacon and squeaking.

The bone is just the right size for Dobby. At 70 pounds, he is neither miniature size or giant. This bone is wide and thick enough that it doesn’t fall out of his mouth, and isn’t so small that I worry. Although the toy is soft and squeaky, it did also feel fairly durable. When I first gave it to Dobby, he smelled it and licked it for about ten minutes straight. Then it was time to chew on it, which he didn’t stop doing until he thought I was going to take it from him.

Zelda is just a baby. She, like a human infant, does tend to try to command a bit more time and attention. While she does love to snugle, the four pound tiny terror really loves to play. And she can play hard. Her newest toy is the Hartz® Just for Cats® Twirl and Whirl™ Cat Toy. This interactive cat toy has been keeping her busy.

Our #kitten Zelda is just having a blast playing with her new Hartz Just For #Cats Twirl And Whirl Cat Toy!

As you can probably see in the video above, she really likes her new toy. She hasn’t stopped playing with it since we first gave it to her, save for the occasional moment when she is just wiped out and take a cat nap (pun intended). The toy is filled with catnip and offers a number of different textures including leather and feathers, as well as colors and sounds, all of which help hold her attention.
When Zelda took a break to eat, I gave her another treat – Delectables™ Bisque Lickable Treat. Delectables is the first wet cat treat in the US, and it looks a sort of a rich gravy. Available in Chicken & Tuna, Tuna & Whitefish, and Tuna & Shrimp, this lickable treat is a combination of tender real meat in a rich sauce. I actually poured this over a little bit of dry food for Zelda. She really enjoyed it, as did Jules who smelled it and came flying across the room.

Now Jules is an adult. He does like to play, but when it comes down to it he is all about the snuggling. And the food. I had a little something else for my Jules. He loves wet food, so I gave him a new treat also – Delectables™ Stew Lickable Treat. Available in Chicken & Tuna, Tuna & Whitefish, and Tuna & Shrimp, this great is a combination of tender real tuna, real chicken or real seafood in a rich sauce. Jules devoured the treat and then sat washing himself contentedly, rather like the cat that ate the canary.

As you know, having pets can sometimes mean having a little odor, particularly if you’re housebreaking or potty training. Dobby is actually the first dog we have successfully housebroken with almost no effort. Many years ago, back in the late 80s, we got a dog and used newspaper to housebreak her. She never, ever, never, ever, got off of that paper. if we didn’t put paper down, she’d go on the floor. Do you know how bad wet, pee-pee newspaper smells? It smells awful!  Too bad HARTZ® Home Protection™ Odor Eliminating Dog Pads weren’t around back then. These odor-eliminating pads have Febreze in them! I had no way to test this out for myself (no, I wasn’t going to hover over it myself). But, I can say that I opened it up to check it out. The lavender scented pads use a Flash-Dry® technology that eliminates odor and instantly turns liquid into gel so it won’t damage your floor or carpet . I am confident these 21inch x 21inch pads would have helped manage any urine and it smell far better than just plain newspaper.
