Limited edition copper FURminator tool

It might seem silly to get all excited about a deshedding tool for dogs, but this sleek and shiny new limited edition FURminator tool with metallic copper finish certainly caught my eye…especially with some picky dog lovers on my gift list this year!

The FURminator has long-been a renowned and coveted grooming tool  thanks to its smart design which makes it super easy to use and extremely effective. It was designed by a groomer for professional results. And in addition to being quite practical, the new limited edition version adds a luxe look and feel, making it perfect to give as a gift or a as a special treat for your own fur kid. I mean, if you’ve gotta brush the dog, you might as well look good doing it!

Available for both long hair and short hair dogs, the FURminator reduces shedding by up to 90%. The FUR ejector button cleans and removes loose hair from the tool with ease. Ergonomic handle makes deShedding comfortable and easy and the patented technologies are guaranteed to reduce shedding better than any brush, rake or comb.

Head on over to learn more and snag it while it’s on sale for 28% OFF regular price with FREE shipping included! I’m told this limited edition version is only available here and that the supply and sale price won’t last long.

    Mom Corps YOU: Career and Freelance Tools & Training + Special Discount #MC

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

    As a work-from-home freelancer and blogger, I’m participating in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Mom Corps YOU. I received a free trial subscription to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for my time. All opinions are 100% my own.

    momcorps tools

    If you’re reading this, then you’ve probably already figured out that I’m a blogger, but you might not know that I also do freelance work from home to help pay the bills. It all began shortly after I was laid off from my full-time corporate marketing job a few years ago. It had been years since I’d even updated my resume! I’d been in the same career and industry for so long, and there were so many people out of work at the time, that I found it very difficult to find a new full-time job, and decided to try working for myself.

    Little by little, I’ve been building up my own business, helping brands and other small businesses to promote their products and services with online marketing and social media. I love the flexibility and freedom that freelancing offers, but it was really tough figuring out how to get started,

    I didn’t have access to a lot of resources or support, which is why I was super excited when I was recently invited to try out Mom Corps YOU — an online community designed to help women with professional development, start a new business and lots more! Mom Corps believes that work-life satisfaction is best achieved when you can take ownership of several key areas of your life, including career, finances and health & wellness, and this subscription-based community provides education, resources and tools to help you do just that.

    I’ve been using the tools and resources at Mom Corp YOU and am really impressed with the range of webinars, articles, templates and checklists available. Whether you’re a mom who is looking to return to the workforce, someone who’s always wanted to start her own business, want help learning to better manage household finances, or need to develop more work-life balance, there’s something for everyone! They’ve also got forums so you can chat with other members, and Live Chat to connect you with a Mom Corp Recruiter.

    Another thing I love is that it’s designed to be flexible, so you can take advantage of most of the resources on your own schedule using your laptop, iPad or pretty much any device that can browse the web. I recently enjoyed a Mom Corps presentation on Freelancing and got some great tips and new ideas.

    Tips, Tools & Deals for National Train Your Dog Month

    National Train Your Dog Month Tips and Tools

    Did you know that January is National Train Your Dog Month? To help celebrate, and give you some ideas if you are just getting started or want to brush up on your skills, I’ve put together a roundup of tips, tools and ideas to help!

    Puppy Socialization and Training

    Start early! According to Debbie McKnight, a PetSmart training expert, “Before 12 weeks is the best window for meeting new people, other dogs and taking in new experiences that will inform puppies’ future behavior and reactions.” Puppies that socialize with other puppies, dogs and humans develop into healthy, confident dogs. A dog that hasn’t been properly socialized may startle easily, bark at a certain type of person or clothing or react poorly to other new experiences in the future. This type of interaction is especially important during the winter months, when dogs spend a lot of time indoors.

    training puppies and dogs

    Puppy Playtime: In honor of January’s National Training Month, PetSmart is hosting Puppy Playtime each Sunday from 2 – 3 at all PetSmart locations. Pet parents are invited to bring their dogs (2 years and younger) to have leash-free play time in gated area of the store! It’s just $10 – no registration needed and no long-term requirements, pet parents are invited to just bring their pup and enjoy the fun!
