We've been having a lot of fun product testing the toys that our friends at Martha Stewart Pets for PetSmart sent us! They've bumped up the durability for tough chewers, and they're standing up to the test.
(Don't forget to enter to win one of these goodies!)
Finnegan the Airedale is loving the Flying Woodland dog toy. The squirrel makes a noise when he lands hard on a floor, but the sound is not so frequent as to be annoying to person or pet. And, it's holding up fine by this tough chewer! No roadkill in Finny's place!
Micro-mutt Ginger, the Pom mix, has been testing the Intelligent toy, and here's the report from her dad, Rich:
Just wanted to say that Ginger loves the squirrel!!! She tends to just rip apart any plush toy but this one has held up really well. She doesn't dig to get the acorns out, but when they come out, she loves to play with those too. Actually Snap, my cat, plays with the acorns when Ginger is playing with the squirrel. Ginger brings that toy to bed with her every night. I think it replaced her Cleveland Browns football as her favorite toy.
(A loss for the Cleveland Browns, but a win for Ginger!)
Lastly, Lyger has been playing with the Flat Fur Skunk. He loves floppy toys he can bring to us when we come home, he can thrash around when he's feeling frisky, and he can snuggle with at bedtime. This design, combined with it's crinkly noise, makes the skunk his new BFF. I had to wake him up from a cuddle with his skunk to get this clip:
Embracer Christina M. and her cat, Ivy, have been testing out the Kong Scratch & Groom Cat post, courtesy of PetSmart. (There are just a few days left for you to enter to with a prize pack giveaway!)
I was super excited to take home the Kong Scratch and Groom Post to my 3 year old, female cat, Ivy. I was not sure how she would react as she has never experienced a cat tower or scratching post before. Ivy absolutely loved it and it was hysterical watching her play! Her favorite part by far is the dangling feather – she has spent many hours batting and biting it! At first, I was a little concerned that it would not hold up and she would have the feather off in a day. But it has been pretty robust despite taking a beating! J Ivy does use this as a scratching post as well so it is definitely serving its purpose.
She does not really use the “grooming” portion of it. Though I have seen her rub up against the post once or twice, it definitely has not done anything significant in that aspect.

Cats love hiding places-bags, boxes, and apparently felted cat caves! German artist Susanne Karg has her felted cat caves for sale on Etsy. Looks just so cosy!
