Million Dollar Pet Pix

What are Webkinz and what is all the fuss about?

The secret code is found on the tags, which is when you are purchasing webkinz or lil'Kinz, especially from ebay, you should check that the 'secret code tag' is included in your purchase. If you are unsure, ask before you buy. Webkinz World calls these toys pets, which I think is nice as it gives kids a feeling of responsibility as they can feed and cloth their 'pets' and are encouraged to take care of them.

"Today’s manufactured dog foods are no better for our pets than fast food is for us."
                                                       Paula Terifaj - D.V.M.

Armed with this belief, 20 years in a traditional veterinarian practice and the desire to combat the problem of fast food for pets, Dr. Terifaj has created her own company (DogieBag.com) to deliver the goodness of freshly-made food for dogs... by mail order.

A recent article in Reader's Digest suggests that pet owners can help their pets overcome a long day of being left alone and the sometimes bad behavior that this causes by giving the pet some rewarding work to do. 

According to Dr. Marty Becker, a veterinarian from Idaho, this can be accomplished with the a new and innovative products called that are food puzzles... where kibble is put into a ball or cube and falls out thereby rewarding the pet, once they have figured out how to roll or push the puzzle around to get the kibble to drop out!

These puzzles keep a pet active and interested... though one may have to be careful about over-feeding. For dogs, look for Molecuball, Buster Food Cube or Kong Stuff-a-Ball and for cats try Play-N-Treat.  Apparently they are all pet-endorsed by countless happy pets!

You may already have a pet, but many children who are allergic to pets or are not allowed to have a pet for other reasons.  Now, there is a way for everyone to enjoy a new kind of pet... an interesting and unique pet idea developed by Ganz... called Webkinz pets.

Webkinz pets are plush pets that are purchased in a store. These plush pets each come with a unique Secret Code that is used by the new "pet owner" to enter the Webkinz World on the Internet. Here they can care for their virtual pet, answer trivia, earn KinzCash, and play the best kids games on the net!

For family-friendly fun, the virtual Webkinz pet may be the answer... even if you already have other "real" pets! And, the Webkinz pet can also get fame and spotlight. Their proud pet parent can purchase a pixel block for them in the PetPix Time Capsule just like any other pet!

Designed by a couple from Denver who were looking for a better litter box solution for their canine comapnions and for the smaller spaces of urban dwellings, such as balconies, decks,patios or even the indoors, the stylish Pet Patio Potty is a unique litter box for dogs, and an excellent training ground for "high-rise" puppies.

It appears natural to the pet as the great outdoors and by using a synthetic sod or gravel as the top layer instead of real sod it is easy to clean and maintain.
