Bucky the NOTcot puppy, is the lucky pup at the NOTcot offices. This weekend Bucky was lucky enough to test out the new packaging (and the treats of course) for some lick-able dog treats.
The first is the Lickety Stik, packaged like a roll-on deodorant, the treat features a roller-ball that dispenses the liquid treat without any spillage and comes in Savoury Chicken, Braised Liver and Smoky Bacon flavour.
The trick with pets is they usually prefer to play with things that aren’t intended as toys, like bottles. Halo bottle toppers get into the spirit of things by turning your pets favourite plastic bottles into treat dispensers.
If you have a really tall dog breed, chances are it’s difficult for them to reach their food and water bowls when they are placed on the ground. The dogs leaning over can also lead to them inhaling too much air and getting bloat which can be deadly, especially to deep-chested breeds like Great Danes.
The Harry Barker Stripe dog bed is designed and manufactured to reduce your dogs carbon foot print. Made from eco-friendly, heavy-duty bed covers over a soft blend of hemp and cotton, all grown without the use of pesticides.
The beds are made with azo free, non-chemical, earth-friendly dyes. They are also durable, hypoallergenic, naturally mildew resistant, antibacterial and anti fungal. To save you time the covers are pre-washed and pre-shrunk as well.

Martha Stewart always has something handy for all parts of the family and home, but I love the little dog jackets she has on her site. They are modeled by her two French Bulldogs, Francesca and Sharkey and are from a company called Mascot. If you have a little time and know about sewing you can follow the instructions on Martha’s site to make a puffer jacket just like Francesca and Sharkey’s.
The Mascot jackets are available through the Mascot site
