Orbee Tuff products

All day I recommend the fab 'Orbee Tuff' range, so it was great to get this lovely email from Helen today:

Hi Barkitty!

I am writing to say thank you very much for the orbee dog balls! My dogs love them! They are the best dog balls that I have found on the market in 15 years of dog ownership. My dogs have chewed all the other types up except for these! They wear extremely well having sometimes been taken out into the garden and buried for some time. I found that the balls on a rope were very easy to throw...but have moved on to stringless balls - as they sometimes get caught in trees and i am left with a very disappointed collie. My collie, Delphi, though loves the whistlling ball! It has a good bounce and the noise makes it easy for her to find. I like the whistling ball as it is luminous and you can easily see it when it has been hidden under the sofa!

Thank you very much once again!

Helen

I really recommend spending a bit more on these toys, not only are they a great product, 2% of every sale goes to dogs charities... Brilliant! Oh, and they act as a breath freshener too! What more could you ask for?

Barking on Ice

I thought I'd share with you some tips for keeping dogs and cats happy in the heat with some icy cool recipes...

First a great tip from Helen this morning to keep your dogs cool... make up some chicken stock, let it cool, then pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Fun for your dogs to play with and cools them down. Just don't put them in your G&T by accident :/

An icepop recipe for your dog:-
Make up 1/2pint low salt gravy as normal, add 1/2 pint cold water, pour into a cake tray, add half a carrot to it, put in freezer and freeze.
Take one large tin of tuna in springwater (could use other smellier fish such as mackerel), place in blender, use same tin to measure out one tin of cold water, blend together, place in cake tin, freeze.
You could also try, ...mixing fruit and plain yoghurt to make a fruity youghurty one.

Place things such as peanut butter, tuna etc in an Orbee Tuff 'woof' ball and freeze that.

Put icecubes in the dogs water bowl. Or give them to chew on.
get the sprinkler out, if you dont have a hosepipeban.

Let me know how you get on...
