food. Low in calories and high in nutrients, yoghund is a
treat dog owners can be proud to feed their dogs. Yoghund is

systems. It is available in two delicious flavors, Organic

-- Keep a pet safe in the vehicle this holiday season with a
travel safety product from Kurgo. For petite pooches, provide
a luxury seat with a view with The Kurgo Skybox Booster Seat
which offers a safe and secure alternative to your lap while
providing enough elevation for mini-Fido to have a clear view
of the road ahead and a comfortable, secure padded seat to
snuggle down on longer trips. The best part is they are still
within arm's reach when you have the desire to scratch their
belly. www.kurgo.com
-- For the avid aquarium hobbyist with an eye for home decor, is
the new Life Collection by biOrb/Casco. The biOrb Life
collection is unlike any other aquarium available today. As a

-- Every pet owning family has at least one furry friend that
wrestles with the ornaments underneath the Christmas tree,
almost toppling over a well-decorated spruce. This holiday
season, keep your pets busy with their own tree complete with
winter-holiday themed "Stuffie" gifts. Canine Genius' 13-inch
Christmas Tree with "Stuffies" has four squeaker filled
Stuffie gifts including a snowman, candy cane, Santa cap, and
mini stuffed Leo. Humans hide the Stuffie gifts inside the
Tree and dogs have fun figuring out how to remove them from
the 2 openings. www.caninegenius.com
-- Give your cat something to do while you're out holiday
shopping. The Mouse in the House is the first automatic cat
toy designed to turn itself on, call your cats and then play
with them when no one is home. Most of us travel for the
holidays, resulting in a lot of time for cats to be left alone
home. Keep your cat stimulated while she is waiting for Santa
to come down the chimney with Mouse in the House.
