News, Advice and Resources for Thoughtful Pet People
Lizards aren’t usually the first things you think of when someone says “Cute pet video!” But, this Uromastyx is definitely cute! She rolls over to get her tummy scratched. I love her waving her little arms!
Procter & Gamble has issued a massive recall in the U.S. of both Iams & Eukanuba foods for cats and for dogs due to salmonella contamination.

If you have affected product, stop using it and discard it. For a replacement voucher, clip the code date and the UPC from your bag and mail to the address below. Include your complete address and telephone number.
If you have multiple affected bags, they want you to include a “register receipt with the code and UPC.” I think that’s a shitty way to do business! Other company’s recalls haven’t required this. Boo on Procter & Gamble—I’m not impressed!

It’s so interesting seeing different species play together—dogs seem to do that a lot. It’s no surprise we get along with them so well!
Cool upcycling! Do you remember this really popular post on making pet beds out of vintage suitcases. Here’s a project that transforms a vintage suitcase into a raised food & water bowl station.
Redditor, reallifedog, made this for his girlfriend and very kindly posted a good tutorial. I just love clever people! He points out he used standard hand tools except for a welder for the legs. Don’t have a welder? No worries—you can buy furniture legs at hardware stores and online.
(I’m assuming reallifedog is male. I did some snooping and found pics of his that show a guy’s hands. Yes, I’m that thorough obsessive compulsive about researching posts.)
