The Clean Me lets you help keep the Kidiminiz neat by pressing its paws (for Kitten and Puppy) and by clapping your hands (for Bunny). The Sing and Dance activity makes your pet react when you clap by singing or dancing with the music. There are 3 different songs for each pet. The Feed Me lets you choose a food by pressing the paws until you see the desired food on the screen. Available foods depend on the type of pet whether for a kitten, puppy or bunny. The Clock Mode lets you set the clock or use it as alarm clock by pressing the Set button and paws.

Guardian Gear Heated Pet Car Seat Cover – Pamper Your Pet

When we have a hard day at work, in school, or simply at home, we see to it that at the end of the day we do pamper ourselves in order to get stress relief. We either go to the spa and get a  massage, get a few drinks in a bar, have a coffee time with friends, or go to the movies. After doing any of these, we feel relaxed and ready to face the challenges that await us the next day. But what about our pets? Of course, just like us, they too need some pampering. Well, we can go to the vet from time to time to give them a massage or we can equip our ride with this Guardian Gear Heated Pet Car Seat Cover.

This Heated Pet Car Seat Cover is great for soothing pets with sore joints and stiff muscles. Yes, your pets need that too! Just look at how active they are during the day – playing with you and your kids, running to and fro the neighborhood, and struggling to get something inside the house. These cause them stress, stiff muscles, and joint pains. So to relieve them from all these, just make them sit over that heated car seat cover and they’ll feel better in no time. But this seat cover is not just for soothing your pets aching muscles. This is actually made to keep your pets warm on chilly days. But since it’s still summer, this won’t be too useful yet. But come fall and winter, your pets will definitely need a lot of heating from this heated car seat cover.

Puppy Tweets – Tweeter for Your Pet


Your pet won’t win any congeniality award if all it does is gnarl, snarl, drool, bark, or go to berserk mode every time it see’s a postman. How do you turn the ugliest mongrel into the house pet and best friend of the year? By tweeting of course. Your pet mutt may run out of dog food but it will never run out of followers with the new Puppy Tweets. Simply set-up an account for your cute little tyke (for the dog to do themselves is asking too much and just plain weird), capture their cutest cutesy moment and use it as avatar, plug the USB unit of Puppy Tweets into a PC and your pet is good to go. Clip the Puppy Tweets unit to your pooch’s collar, and every time the dog moves, barks, or snooze, the tag will transmit a Wi-Fi signal to your PC which will then post a tweet on behalf of your dog. There are more than 500 built-in witty and fun phrases that are made available for your dog. A straightforward bark may be tweeted as “I bark because I miss you. There, I said it. Now hurry home.” or a quick frolic through the yard may be posted as “I finally caught the tail I’ve been chasing and… OOUUUCHH.” A reminder though, don’t feel bad when you’re puppy gets more follower than you, it’s not their fault they are so darn cute and can tweet to boot.

Start your pet on tweeting here.

Ant-O-Sphere for Ant Lovers

Are you a pet lover? If you are, how would you like the idea of having ants for a pet? Impossible? Well, that was before. There’s a new innovation these days that will make keeping ants as pets not only possible but also easy and fun. Take a look at the Ant-O-Sphere!

The Ant-O-Sphere is an ant habitat that you can easily set up according to your liking. It comes with four spherical pods and red tubes connecting the pods. The system is an imitation of the exact layout of the leaf-cutter ant colonies, and the pods and tubes are the exact size of the chambers built by the ants underground. You can add soil and plants, even worms, to the pods in order to create a miniature eco-system for your pets. Plus, the red tubes make ants believe that they are in total darkness when the reality is that you can observe them. And to see even the tiniest details of the ants’ lives, the Ant-O-Sphere comes with three kinds of magnifier.

This mini ant eco-system toy will perk up your creativity. You can arrange the pods according to your preference, you can add whatever you want on the pods (you can even make a mini garden), and you can add more pods as your ant colony grows. If you have kids, this is a great learning experience for them and a great way to teach them how to care for other living organisms. Just remember, however, that the Ant-O-Sphere is not ideal for people who are allergic to insect stings and for kids under three years old.

Flexi PC Pet ID Tag

Dog tags are great way of knowing which pet is owned by whom in case one gets lost. We all love our pets and just the thought of them being gone gives us the chills already. The laser engraved tag that you put has some vital information that would be necessary such as the owner’s phone number and the dog’s name. Other than that, you have to make the font very small to fit such a little plate of metal. You might also need to update it whenever you change address or phone number. But welcome to the high-tech world of computers where a simple USB device can help bring your pet back to you.

The Flexi PC ID Tag is a miniature thumb drive that can contain all the information that would be necessary. You could put your contact number, address, veterinarian’s office, special treatment, and other notes that you feel are needed (like your dog prefers pork barbecue or savory chicken). This way, the person who takes hold of your pet knows what to do. Plus, there will be greater chance that you get your pet back whenever he/she gets lost. Updating the information is very easy with the fast USB 2.0 interface so anything wouldn’t be left out.

You don’t have to worry about the ID tag wearing out because it has been specifically designed to be water and shock proof. So even if Digby loves to take a swim or roll over countless of times, the tag would be very much safe in its metal capsule.
