Doggie Fountain is self serve
There are plenty of fountains out there to make sure that your pet gets fresh water when the need it. However, most of them stay on all of the time, which isn’t necessarily bad if you enjoy the relaxing sound of running water. However, if you’d like to control how much water goes through the fountain you may want to try one of these Doggie Fountains instead. It doesn’t offer constant water flow, it only gives water when the pet activates it.

Mecha Fish and Little Dog, films about real robots!
I thought you might enjoy two different advancements in robotics for today.
The first is the Little Dog. It really looks more like a beetle, but this DARPA project really shows advancements in robot walkers.
Have you ever seen a dog try and navigate obstacles like big rocks on a beach? Well, it kind of looks like the first video here. The only difference is that a dog trips every once in a while.
Just when you thought Robo-pet day was over, here comes the Mecha-Fish. It looks like someone has coated a koi with metal and then released it into a kiddie pool. The Mecha Fish has something in common with real fish. If a person disturbs the water near it, the fish will dart away.

Skamper Ramp offers safe way out of a pool
Do you happen to have a pool in your backyard? Couple that with a water loving dog and chances are you will have a ball of a time. Well, our four legged friends might find it easy to jump into the pool without a problem, but when it comes to getting out, they will definitely need some assistance if they aren’t strong enough to haul themselves out using their front two paws. The Skamper Ramp is a snap to install, where it is made out of high-tech corrugated plastic which is attached to the side of a pool, walled pond, dock or boat. All relevant deck hardware is also included, where you can choose from the Skamper-Ramp (13″ x 25″, for dogs up to 45 lbs.) and Super Skamper-Ramp (13″ x 41″, for dogs up to 200 lbs.) which will retail for $69.95 and $99.95, respectively.
Your pet will love you for bringing the Therapy Pet Jacket home
Those of us who see our dogs and cats as more than just a pet, but rather, a family member instead, will find that the Therapy Pet Jacket is one nifty device to purchase for Fido.

It works great for pets in situations such as suffering from an injury, a muscle pain, hip dysplasia, or even arthritis.

You can strap both hot and cold packs to it, where it will offer additional warmth or coldness when the situation calls for it. A couple of closure straps and a Velcro-type system helps secure it in place just in case Fido is a particularly active pooch. Fitting any pet from 5 pounds to 200 pounds, it ought to work just fine with any pet – even Garfield. Depending on your pet’s size, it will retail anywhere from $41.99 to $54.99.
The Dog Walker Dumbbells
Anyone that prefers walking with weights to get the most out of their walk would normally have a little bit of a balancing act if they’re going with their pet. Granted my dog yanks on the leash hard enough that it gives me a good enough work out that I don’t really feel the need to add to it. Those of you that have a calm dog, this Dog Leash Weight Set is a great way to make it easy to carry a weight and a leash.

LED Dog Collar
This LED Dog Collar is slightly different from the rest – while others come with just a blinking light to help capture your attention at night (especially for folks who own totally black dogs like Labradors), this model sports a full LED collar. Yes, the whole collar will light up whenever it is worn, making your four legged friend a snap to spot from afar. You can also choose from slow flashing, fast flashing and having it being turned on constantly, depending on how far you want the collar’s battery life to go. It is flexible enough for virtually all dog sizes, where the steel D-ring makes it compatible with just about any leash. Nice to know it ships with batteries included as well as a couple of spares to get you started right out of the box at $4.95 each.
Canine Shower Stall
I’m not sure why, but giving the dog a bath is my least favorite household chore and usually the most procrastinated one. Truthfully I have a small dog, plus he’s actually extremely obedient about the whole affair, so it shouldn’t be so bad. The part I have a problem with is having a not so good back and bending at bad angles in order to clean him up. Alright so a shower just for the dog is a bit much, but if you’re in desperate need of an alternative then it might be just the thing.

Interactive Intelligence Games for Dogs
So you think that having mastered over a few dozen tricks, your pooch is the smartest one on the block? Well, why not put your for legged friend’s brain to the test with the Interactive Intelligence Games for Dogs? This unique purchase which retails anywhere from $29.99 to $39.99 (depending on the set you get of course) are all different, and yet fun enough to keep your pooch mentally stimulated instead of just lying down in the corner all day long. Treats can be hidden in the compartments, and your dog will have to figure out exactly how to remove those treats. Sounds like a brainier version of Kong toys that require a really long tongue to get those treats out! Of course, it does make us wonder whether frustration by your dog due to its inability to solve the puzzle might just cause him/her to chew up the toy instead. You can choose from Spinny (easy), Tornado (difficult) and Twister (most difficult) models.
