All you have to do is answer the fun trivia question and no matter whether you get it right or you get it wrong, you have just donated 10 pieces of kibble to shelters.

Today FreeKibble.com is donating all the food they raise to two shelters in areas that were recently hit hard by hurricane Irene.

These much deserving shelters are Central Vermont Humane Society (http://cvhumane.com/) and the Fayetteville, NC Animal Protection Society ((http://www.fapspet.org/). This food will help them continue to support those effected by Irene.

So please take a minute out of your day today to help them reach today’s goal of 10,000 meals or 1 million pieces of kibble. Simply go to http://freekibble.com/ and answer the question on the home page. If you like you can also head to FreeKibbleKat.com and try your hand at the cat question to donate another 10 pieces of kibble.

While they have a big goal set for themselves for today, please remember you can donate kibble EVERY day simply by playing their trivia game.

With earthquakes and hurricanes here on the east coast we think it is about time for a little calm.

Pets are more plugged into the environmental changes than humans. So even before and earthquake or big storm you might see your dog starting to get stressed out. Here are a few products to help enhance the calm.

Pet Naturals offers a calming supplement to help during these stressful bad weather situations, but it is also good for fireworks, separation anxiety and general nervousness.

CALMING has high potency natural ingredients that are properly formulated for optimal results. It’s the natural way to help your hound mellow out.

It is available in both small and large dog sizes.

The Good Behavior Pheromone Collar helps dogs in fearful or stressful situations (separation anxiety, fireworks, thunderstorms, visitors, new puppies, new baby, vet visits, traveling).

The Good Behavior Pheromone Collar provides a convenient alternative to diffusers which are limited for use to the confines of a designated room. While the Good Behavior Pheromone Collar goes where your dog goes whether it is at home or on the go!

We do hope these products can be of some help out there to the animals who need a little help finding their calm.

Here at DogToys.com we know how much dogs love to play. In fact it seems like it is always time to play when you’re a dog (unless of course it is time for food or time for sleep that is).

So since dogs are thinking “play time” nearly every second of every day, we thought we would share this fun Play Time Clock with you all.

It’s only $16.99 and is available over at CafePress.com along with some other fun play time items.

DogToys.com is proud to report the launch of its “Made in the USA” sections. Due to an overwhelming demand for American made products, 13 pages containing hundreds of items, have been devoted to USA made products.

Consumers remain hesitant to purchase items from China. The want for products made in the US has only increased due to the 2007 pet food recall and 2008 children toy recall.

Gina Mirolli Crespo, General Manager, commented: “We received such a large number of phone calls and inquiries, in search of American made dog products. Customers want to spend their money on quality items they can trust. For many owners, their pets are as precious as their children – and they deserve the best. We are proud to say none of the thousands of products we carry have ever been affected by a recall.”

DogToys.com is hoping that the support of national companies and small businesses will help strengthen the US economy. Twenty-three lines are manufactured in the US; many of these are all natural, organic or eco-friendly products. Quality, innovative products that meet the high standards of DogToys.com are added to the site frequently.

US made products range from: Apparel, Ball Toys, Beds, Collars and Leashes, Dental Toys, Feeders & Bowls, Grooming Items, Plush Toys, Rubber Toys, Supplements, & Treats.

Note: Not every product on the website is American made, only those located in the “Made in the USA” section and sub-sections. http://www.dogtoys.com/madeinusa.html

Spring is around the corner and with it is the mud that comes as the ground defrosts.  A person may wonder, “how do I keep my dog and house mud free,” during the ground thawing months of March and April.  DogToys.com would answer ”with a Bamboo Mud Magnet of course.”

This unique 2-in-1 design converts from a glove to a mitt to make cleaning your dog’s paws easier. Wipes paws clean without water. The mud magnet is made of super absorbent microfiber holding six times its weight in dirt and water.

It is quick drying too. Simply hang it by the loop to dry between uses. The mud magnet paw cleaner can be used multiple times before washing it. Can be machine washed and dried for easy clean up.

Use the mitt to clean larger surface areas and the glove for deep cleaning between toes.

Ever wonder how your dog was able to open a door/cabinet/box?  For those of us that have mischievous dogs, we have the perfect toy to keep them looking for more.  The *new* Kyjen Puzzle Plush are fun, interactive, and thought provoking.  The puzzles occupy dogs and eliminate boredom, but they also develop a dog’s intelligence and puzzle-solving skills.  Just hide the soft plush squirrels (or treats) inside the plush log for dogs to remove over and over again.
