The Business Of Pets: Niche Business In Living Wills For Your Dog Or Cat

by Beth Hodgson

Living Wills are recommended for all individuals over the age of 65, or those who are younger who are living with a serious medical condition. The principle behind these Living Wills is that the person's wishes with regards to medical care are outlined and documented so that others know what they want from their medical care at a time when they may be unable to speak for themselves and make their own decisions. Since our beloved pets can never speak for themselves, a company called Pet Living Wills has decided to capture this niche with a unique business.

CHEWGARS! A Dog Might Think He's Humphrey Bogart

by Lady Bee

If you love old movies, then you know what Humphrey Bogart did for the cigar. He made it into fashion for the tough guys, the fast talkers, the don't-mess-with-me's of the 1940's and early 50's. So too, this English bull dog named Sam could be the fashion setter for the tough barkin' dog. "Hey babe, lets go to the burbs t'night and chase some cats up some telephone poles."

Anything For Your Dog, But Please Not This! Dog-O-Matic

by Lady Bee

When I say "Anything for my dog," I mean for my dog, not for me. So when I read about these automatic dog washing machines, I have to ask is this gizmo really for a dog? Would my dog be happy to be put in an airtight chamber and then showered from all sides with soap and water? Or would he be like the dog in the picture, trying like heck to tear his way out of the dang thing?

Call For Inventors! PetSmart Innovative Product Search

by Myra Per-Lee

Most inventors have pets. I can be safe with that statement, because most people have pets, whether they're dogs or cats, rabbits, fish, birds, snakes, geckos, etc. PetSmart knows this and instead of turning to its usual providers of products for new ideas, it's turning to us: inventors who know how to create innovative solutions to improve life!

Softening The Loss Of A Pet With A Huggable Soft-Hearted Pillow

by Lady Bee

After nearly two years of writing this column, I have yet to touch on the subject of the death of a pet. Oh, I've seen some lovely, very personal gravestones and urns for pets; it just hurt too much to write about them. But today, when I read about Soft-Hearted Pillows, I knew I had to share these with you... perhaps because a Soft-Hearted Pillow is the most gentle way yet to let our pets "go," and know that they will still be with us.

Swine Flu App When Pigs Fly?

by Ron Callari

With news of the swine flu epidemic crowding the airwaves, could pigs now possibly be crowding the airways? Could your favorite hog be allowed to fly the friendly skies? In a world that's paranoid of a potential pandemic, and Joe Biden being chastised for warning people "not to fly," is it even conceivable that pigs might be boarding planes? Well if PetAirways has anything to do with it, that just might be the case. And if IntuApps moves forward with their Swine Flu App, there may be a way to detect when pigs fly?
