Hammock Car Seat Cover

If your dog likes a good road trip — or even better — a drive to the park or the beach, one of these Waterproof Outward Hound Hammock Car Seat Covers could come in handy. It’s so versatile it protects not only the back seat and the floorboard area from dirt, dander and little accidents, but also keeps pets in training from coming over the console. It’s much neater looking and more secure than typical seat covers. And a better deal than some that have more features.

The Hammock Car Seat Cover is made of black, durable Oxford cloth with true waterproof backing. The design allows for safe seat belt exposure, too. And the double sided design prevents your pet from rolling down. Size: 62″ (front to back) x 48″ (door to door).

Pink Ribbon Pet ID Tag

I found this cute Pink Ribbon Pet ID Tag over at Feline Fido Pet Designs, an independently run pet boutique. They tags are fashionable and fun for cats or dogs. And they communicate a great message, too (breast cancer awareness). You can choose from four different types of lettering.

And they throw in free engraving, a free split ring and free shipping!

The website says the pet id tags are made of anodized aluminum and engraved with a special technology that leaves a bright etched lettering. Buy two and let your human use one as a zipper pull or luggage tag. What I really like about Feline Fido Pet Designs is they regularly donate a portion of sales to charities that support causes and donate products to shelter animals and animal rescue. As a confirmed cheapskate, I like knowing my dollars are doing good!

FURminator deShedding Tool

My favorite pet gadget of all time is the FURminator deShedding Tool. That’s because I’m a total shed monster. My neighbor is a pet sitter and she says Labrador Retrievers shed more than any other dog. I don’t know if she’s right or not, but it’s true for me. I tried everything, and the best thing I found — without a doubt — is the FURminator. And it works for cats, too (both long and short-haired). Here’s what it does:

Reduces shedding up to 90%.
Grabs and removes loose undercoat hair without damaging the topcoat.
Brings out natural oils, leaving a shiny topcoat.
Reduce shedding better than any brush, comb, or rake.
Works on all shedding breeds of dogs and cats.
Veterinarians use it and swear by it.
Allergy doctors recommend it.
Has a comfortable, ergonomic handle.
