Shops at Target Polka Dog Bakery

The Shops at Target launched earlier this month and includes the limited edition line of Polka Dog Bakery’s yummy treats and fun toys, along with colorful harnesses and collars, too. The kind folks over there invited Daisy to try out a few of these limited-edition pet products and so we could tell you about them! And, since these exclusive products are sure to be popular and sell out quickly, we’ll be giving some away to several lucky readers in a few days! You can get a great behind-the scenes look inside the Polka Dog Bakery Kitchen and score some free recipes at the Target Blog.  Here’s a little bit about the Polka Dog Bakery line at Target:

Polka Dog Bakery Treats

Polka Dog Bakery is a favorite local pet bakery in Boston so it’s no surprise that their dog treats are all-natural and come in several yummy flavors. Daisy tried the Just Ducky, Duck Flavor Crunchies and the Chickeepooh, Chicken Flavor Treats. She LOVES them both, and I love that they are Made in the USA and contain NO wheat, corn, fillers or by products. They are made using only natural ingredients including the featured main ingredient (chicken or duck in ours), rice and potato flour so they are great for dogs with sensitive tummies or allergies, and everyone can feel good about giving them to their fur baby.  We’re looking forward to sharing them with all of Daisy’s pals and trying the other flavors, too!

Polka Dog Bakery Dog Toys

The Polka Dog Bakery at Target line also includes fun and whimsical dog toys like the ones pictured here. Daisy was super excited to see that she received the ice cream sandwich toy. Not only does this toy look exactly like a huge ice cream sandwich…it’s also one of the best squeak toys we’ve seen. She’s had it a few weeks now and the toy is still in great shape and the squeaker is still going STRONG (it’s a loud one which we happen to think is hilarious). For safety and to make them last longer, remember to always supervise your dog when they play with squeak and novelty toys. Here’s Daisy enjoying her Ice Cream Sandwich:

The line also includes colorful dog collars in a variety of cute designs and solid colors as well as bright and stylish harnesses. Whatever your dog’s size or personality, you’re bound to find just the right fit! If you are lucky enough to have Polka Dog Bakery and The Shops at Target near you, then you can browse the aisles for a large selection of items from the full line.

HappyTails Canine Spa: Sparkle & Shine Shampoo and Sleepytime Tonic {Product Review}

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

HappyTails Canine Spa

Daisy and I were recently introduced to a pawsome line of natural grooming and wellness products from HappyTails Canine Spa, and are super-excited to tell you about it! HappyTails creates eco-friendly spa, grooming and wellness products that are all-natural, and cruelty free.

We were invited to try out two products from the HappyTails Spa line: Sparkle & Shine Shampoo and Sleepytime Tonic. Both of these items were personally selected by the spa experts at HappyTails, to address Daisy’s individual grooming and wellness needs:

Sparkle and Shine Shampoo

The first spa product we tried was Sparkle & Shine Shampoo, designed especially for light-colored dogs whose coats need brightening. Daisy was snow-white when we adopted her as a puppy, but over time her coat has dulled and I’d describe her more as “off white” these days. We’ve also been using medicated shampoo most of the time because she tends to have skin issues, but that often makes her fur a little coarse and in need of some special attention.

Daisy Sparkle & Shine Spa Shampoo

Sparkle & Shine contains pearlescent brighteners plus all-natural emollients including flax seed, yogurt and honey that combine to enhance the natural luminescence and silky texture of a dog’s fur, and to soothe and heal irritated skin. This shampoo is very gently (important with Daisy’s sensitive skin), and contains no SLS or Parabens. We also love that it is a tearless and easy-rinse formula! And did I mention that it smells GREAT, too!?! As you can see, Daisy thoroughly enjoyed her spa shampoo and bubble bath!

Yay for bath time!

Sleepytime Tonic

The second product we tried was Sleepytime Tonic. Daisy can sometimes be anxious and get overly excited so the good folks at HappyTails recommended this to calm and relax her. Not a sedative, Sleepytime is an herbal relaxation tonic made from natural ingredients, including Bach Flower Extracts, that helps dogs to feel more calm and less anxious. It’s really easy to use and comes with a plastic dropper. You just put a few drops in your dog’s mouth or on a treat.You can use it before trips to groomer, vet, fireworks, thunderstorms, travel and car rides. Daisy actually gets very nervous before bath time so we gave her some before her spa bath and it seemed to relax her and make it a more pleasant experience than usual. It sure helped since I needed her to stay still so I could get some photos of her in the tub, too!

Product Review: Marvel Comics Superhero Collection Exclusively at PetSmart!

Daisy Spidey Shirt

We recently told you about the PetSmart Super Hero Sized Sweepstakes with a chance to win a trip to NYC to see Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark on Broadway. Daisy was also invited to try some of the items from the new Marvel Comics collection for pets sold exclusively at PetSmart. As if she enough of a character already, she is now convinced that she has Spidey-senses AND can do all her own stunts!

The new 41-piece Marvel Comics line of pet apparel and toys is available for a limited time only, in PetSmart stores and online at PetSmart.com. You are probably already familiar with the characters, but just in case, the line includes Spiderman, The Hulk, Captain America, Ironman, Wolverine from the X-Men and more favorites from the classic comic collection.

Daisy has proudly sported her Spiderman t-shirt a few times already on trips to the park and out for walks. Now she also thinks she has the Superpower of Attraction because everyone wants to stop and check her out and fuss over how cute she is in her Spidey tee! There are several colors, designs and characters to choose from in the shirts which come in X-Small thru X-Large. You can browse them all at PetSmart.com but keep in mind that they seem to run a little bit small so if you are in doubt, get a slightly larger one (or try it on in the store!).

In addition to the Spiderman tee, Daisy is also enjoying one of the Marvel-themed plush toys. As you can see, Captain America is getting quite a workout! She loves him so much that I even caught her hidding him behind the cushion of her papa’s chair where she likes to stash her favorite toys away for later!

In addition to the squeaker toys like this one, you can also get frisbees, rope tug toys, tennis balls and other fun playthings, all with the Marvel Comics line of characters! Since this is a limited edition collection, they won’t last long. Get them here or at your nearest Petsmart location and you’ll be YOUR dog’s superhero!
