PawLuxury - PetLINENS Dog Bed Giveaway! Comment to enter.

Our Friends at PetLINENS sent us a wonderful dog pet for Lola to review.

Lola enjoys lounging and spreading out on her XL (36"X45") Deluxe Bed Set which included a super-soft deep filled bed cushion and a cushion saver waterproof liner to protect the cushion. Each cushion comes with 2 slipcovers & colors vary depending on your style & preference. The chic high quality slipcovers are great because they are durable, with stunning workmanship details like decorative cording.

What we love about this bed besides it style, size & color options; is how easy it is to switch up & put back together again! Its a snap, the velcro hook-and-loop closures make them easy to slip on and off. So, washing is made easy.

We also love petLINENS because they are economical & affordable. Who said spoiling your deserving dog needs to break the bank. The petLINENS Bed sets are definitely the way to go & save big! I guess you can say you get a lot of bang for your bark! I mean buck!!

Lola enjoys taking mid-day naps on her new plush cotton bed. Not, only is it comfy for her but looks stylish & sophisticated with our modern decor & easy to clean. The cushions are are filled with extra cushiony, high-grade poly-fill that makes every nap worth taking. I will tell you Lola is going to be begging us to send her to her bed for a time out.

Unlike some beds that are an ugly eyesore, petLINENS are beautiful to look it and even better to sleep on. Trust us, don't tell Lola but we took it for a test drive and had a quick nap. Lets just say we were in heaven. Hey, we may even go as far to use it as a guest bed when the in-laws roll in to town, its that comfortable! The neat part is that the quilted microfiber slipcovers are interchangeable, so say goodbye to boring. Our princess loves variety and we can match it to our decor with the many slipcover colors available. Lola loves the fact that if she spills or slobbers on her bed that it comes with a waterproof cushion saver to extend its dog years & weather any storm & piddle. Hey, accidents happens! Lola gives this bed 4 paws up!

Pet Beds That Suit Your Style

You've created a beautiful home. It's filled with things you truly love. You also love your pets, and want them to have their own comfortable place with the rest of the family. So, right in the middle of your well-decorated home is - a big, ugly, pet bed.

Sound familiar?

Trina created petLINENS to solve that problem. She wanted to change not only the way pet beds look, but how they are sold. She believes that pet beds should be sold with interchangeable components (like our own beds): a comfy cushion that's made to last and a cover that can be changed.

After all, you don't throw your mattress away when you want a new look for your bed. You simply change the linens. Why not do the same for your pet's bed?

Decorating is her passion, so she is constantly study the latest fashion trends and color palettes. She translate them into gorgeous pet beds that you'll love to have in your home. Over the years, your taste may change, but there will always be a pet bed to complement your style.

She also love her dogs, Maddie and Sam, so she made sure that her petLINENS cushions are super-cozy. Made of high-grade, extra-soft poly-fill, they'll give your pet a soft place to rest for a long, long time.

A Practical, Eco-Friendly Solution

The components are interchangeable: you can buy the cushions and covers separately, or as complementary sets of two slipcovers. They also offer a waterproof cushion liner - our Cushion Saver - which protects and extends the life of your cushion.

Just change the slipcovers as you need to, or whenever you want a fresh, new style. Every slipcover is machine-washable, with Velcro hook-and-loop closures that open easily and stay closed.

Easy tips to keep your dog safe on the 4th of July

Think of summer and what comes to mind? Outdoor events and holiday celebrations. And if you are a dog lover like we are it goes without saying that you want to share in the sun and fun with our dogs! There is a lot of fun to be had by all! From playing catch to slipping fido a special treat to watching fireworks. But it is also important to have a safe 4th of July with our dogs. Many forget these outdoor activities can become extremely frightening to our pets. Between the heat, loud noises, new people and other things this can be extremly stressful to our pets. Below are a few tips to ensure you take precautions and have a safe & fun doggy 4th of July.


Tip #1: Never leave your dog unattended in a parked car. Temperatures in a car can exceed 100 degrees in just a few minutes. Heat exposure in dogs can result in organ damage, heart arrhythmia and sudden death. It is inhumane and illegal to leave a pet unattended in a parked car.

Tip#2: Dogs just like humans can suffer from heat stroke. Keep your dog in the shade during warm weather. Humans to sweat to cool down, The only place dogs can sweat from is on the pads on their feet and panting. And even panting is not enough to cool off a dog in hot weather. So opt for a shady tree to stay cool.

Tip#3: Hydration is key! Always have a generous amount of fresh water available. During 4th of July activities, keep a fresh bottle of water handy just for your dog. Also keep the water bowl in the shade to keep water cool. Fill the water bowl with half water and half ice. A dehydrated dog can be very dangerous.

Tip#4: During the noisy 4th of July celebrations and fireworks, pets can become frightened and run away. Make sure your pet is wearing a collar that fits. Also be sure to have the proper identification on the dog tags. So keep a close eye on your pup.

Tip#5: Consider the temperament of your dog. Many dogs are frightened by thunderstorms and other loud noises. Loud and unfamiliar noises of fireworks and July 4th celebrations can scare your pet. Leaving your dog indoors may be a safer alternative and preferably not left alone. If your dog has to be left alone, leave a TV or radio on to disguise the loud noises of the holiday celebrations.

Tip#6: Try all-natural solutions to calm your dog. There are a few all-natural alternatives out there to take the edge off and safely relax your pet. We recommend Happytails Sleepytime Tonic or Spot Organics Chill Essential Oil They are applied differently but they have the same natural calming effects. With these tips we hope you have a happy and safe 4th of July with your dog!

Guest Blog Post by Ask Spike Online: Summer Vacation With Your Pet

Today's guest dog blogger & fellow four legged Twitter tweet all-star is Spike from the famous Ask Spike Online. He has written a bark-tastic article on vacationing with your pet!. We hope you enjoy!

Now that summer has officially begun, the desire to make a break from the office to spend a few days, or even a few weeks, away is in full effect. The kids are out of school and they have been going stir crazy in the house for the last couple weeks.

When you plan your trip, make sure that you also take the right amount of time to decide what to do with your pets. There are multiple options if you do not wish to take your pet along. I do not know why you would exclude such a fun family member from the vacation, but you can seek out a boarding facility, hire a pet sitter or walker, or ask a trusted friend to keep an eye on your pet. For those of us that like to travel, you can certainly take us with you.

Whether you choose a beach, camping, or another tourist attracting destination, make sure your trip is pet-friendly all the way. Not all airlines allow pets to travel, so make sure you find one that does, and make sure they can fly in the cabin with you for their safety. Did you know there is an airline that provides air travel for pets only, called Pet Airways? I have not had the pleasure of flying with them, so I cannot weigh in on their service. There are also many hotels and nearly all campgrounds that allow pets, as do many timeshares and beach rental properties, and you can find many of them at websites like Pets Welcome.

If you are not flying to your destination, and you are making it a road trip, you may want to check out these tips for traveling by car with your pet from my friends over at Theravida Pets. When traveling by car, make sure you schedule plenty of stops for your paw-pal, so they can take some potty breaks. Keep in mind that their usual food and water bowls will be awkward to utilize on the trip and at your destination, so you may want to purchase some collapsible travel bowls to use for your road trip. If you have done a good job training your pup for potty time, you will not have to worry about him or her refusing to “get busy” in a new place. If this is a problem for your pup, I have some suggestions for you to try.

Upon arriving at your destination, let your dog investigate the area fully. There will be many new smells for him to discover, and his bathroom will not be as clearly marked as yours. As a courtesy to others, make sure you bring your biodegradable pickup bags with you, because you do not want to be “THAT family” that did not pick up after your pup at the hotel, on the beach, or along the hiking trail.

Regardless of the area leash laws, I HIGHLY recommend that you keep your dog on a leash, or otherwise confined, AT ALL TIMES during your vacation. Not only is it unsafe for your dog to wander in an unfamiliar area, he may have difficulty getting back to you when his jaunt is complete. Not only will his familiarity be diminished in a strange area, but he can easily be picked up as a stray by animal control or even “be found” by a stranger. Also, dogs do not understand time, so the itinerary you planned so meticulously before you left can be rendered useless by a missing pup.

Obviously, there are some trips that are not very pet-friendly, so you should forgo including your pet on those trips, but there are many activities and fun memories to be had by taking your pet with you on vacation. Sometimes, we all need a little reminder and some tips about keeping our paw-pals safe.

Have a great time on vacation, and share it with the ones you love!

Top 10 Reasons Your Dog Is Your Best Exercise Buddy

We all love to have an excercise buddy to keep us motivated but sometimes the best workout body is our four legged best friend. Trupanion has created a list of the Top 10 Reasons Your Dog Is Your Best Exercise Buddy and we wanted to share it with you. Not only is it witty & humorous but truly speaks to the loving & loyal characters of the dogs in our lives. Trupanion also has a wonderful blog with great information.

1. He will never bail on you. Dogs are always eager to accompany you with your workout and won’t complain that they had to get up early this morning or are having a bad day.

2. A dog is never late for a workout. You don’t have to wait for your dog to get ready because he is ready to go out and get moving whenever you are.

3. Your dog won’t judge you. Dogs don’t care if you run too slow or too fast or if you’re sweaty and stinky after exercising. They are always glad just to be hanging out with you.

4. Dogs are easy going. Your dog won’t complain when it gets tired and it won’t try to out-compete you. He will jog along at your side until you’re done.

5. Dogs are great motivators. They’re always bouncy, eager, and optimistic about working out which is great encouragement to get you more enthusiastic about exercising. Plus you’re much more likely to stick with an exercise plan if you have a buddy.

6. Dogs don’t gossip. They won’t distract you from exercising by chatting about the latest gossip and who said what.

7. You don’t have to buy running shoes for your dog. They don’t require fancy workout gear and top-of-the-line sneakers; dogs are always appropriately attired for any exercise.

8. Exercise is great for both of you. Dogs need physical as well as mental stimulation and exercise keeps both you and your dog healthier and happier.

9. At the end of your workout when you’re cooling down, you know your dog will be right by your side panting with a smile on its face.

10. It can be fun for you and it's definitely fun for your dog. You'll feel better knowing you provided some good entertainment for your canine pal.
