Digital pet ID tags
A company called Pets-911.com has come up with an innovative yet simple device—a digital pet ID system which almost anyone can use, and which doesn’t require special scanners, or professional implantation. The device is simply a USB flash drive which contains your pet’s information, and is then worn around the neck in a special collar/pouch (called a “pet wallet"). The flash drive can store contact information, medical history, and photos, and you can register with an optional online database for even greater information access. The pet ID system can be used as a backup to a conventional microchip and ID tag, as we can probably never have “too much” lost pet protection. If you don’t consider yourself too “tech savvy”, the manufacturer offers programming assistance for a small fee. The company’s website still needs a little work and it can be a bit confusing, but I think this is a great product with wonderful potential.

Holiday cards from HSUS and ASPCA
It’s that time of year again—the time right after Halloween when we all have to start planning for the holiday season. I received some email notices from The Humane Society of the United States and the ASPCA about their holiday store offerings, so thought I’d post a couple of their more interesting items. From HSUS, I love their holiday cards, and am leaning towards purchasing a box of “Snow Dudes”. From the ASPCA’s online store, you can also buy holiday cards, as well as ornaments and even wine personalized with your pet’s photo on the label. Both organizations have great gift ideas for pet lovers, so try to visit if you need to buy for someone special.

This is a great time to treat your dog to a new bed before the cold winter months (or to replace the dog bed that your cat peed on a few days ago).

Shelter Dogs
This incredible book is a collection of photos of dogs in animal shelters around the country. It would be a wonderful gift for any dog lover or person who’s rescued an animal from a shelter, and a portion of the proceeds goes to the ASPCA.
Save an additional $5 at Petco
From now until the end of October, Petco is giving shoppers the chance to save $5 off orders of $50 or more at PETCO.com! This offer is on top of their special discounts this month, so it’s a good time to stock up for the winter months on toys, treats, etc. (or even to plan ahead and buy some holiday gifts).
Cages By Design
Cages by Design create some of the most incredible bird and reptile enclosures I’ve ever seen. It’s my dream to one day be able to fill our bird room with these enclosures—I’d love them, and my parrots would love them too! For the month of October, CagesByDesign.com is offering a 40% discount on their products (cages, stands, and hoods) to all rescue and humane associations. This is truly an incredible opportunity, so if you qualify, I encourage you to take advantage of it. The coupon code you’ll need at checkout is EBVG-1006, and I’m sure you’ll have to provide some sort of documentation of your rescue activities.

If you’re one of the first 125 people to order from SitStay.com this month and to mention the coupon code TRICK OR TREAT in the comment box when you checkout, they’ll send your pet a Halloween surprise! You need to spend at least $35 to qualify.

And of the items by the Zukes folks are great, too!
