Does Your Pet Have Difficulty Climbing Up To His Favorite Spot? The solution is Doggy Steps. It’s just the right height to help smaller and older dogs step up where they want to go - up to couches and beds. It’s also great for pets to step up into cars or trucks. It’s lightweight and portable so it goes anywhere and no more bending over to help your pet up… so there’s less stress on your back too!

A couple of exceptional exhibits at the recent Pet Expo 2008 held at the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds:
Homemade Doggy Dinners
We're finally starting to see more vendors who advocate a homemade natural diet for their pets.
Here at MyPetConnection we can speak from our own personal experience as to the benefits of feeding your pet nutritious, homemade food.
Recently one of our 10-year old Siamese cats had a bad bout of mast cell tumors on her skin. Our vet surgically removed a lot of the cancer cells
and we had her on liquid steroids to stop her from constantly licking at the new outbreaks. However, the tumors just didn't seem to go completely away and she
began to lose more and more weight.
At one point she looked like a walking skeleton!
Then our cat sitter loaned us the book "The Veternarian's Guide to Natural Remedies for Cats" by Martin Zucker. Based upon some of the
recipes in the book we began to feed her a combination of chicken, kale, flax seed oil, and a few supplements such as
vitamin C, vitamin E, and taurine. Within 6 weeks she gained back most of her pre-surgery weight and the tumors are now completely gone!
We fully credit the better nutrition she was getting from our homemade cat food with boosting her immune system.
Today she is more energetic and lively than she's been in the last 5 years!
So obviously we are very happy to see vendors advocating the benefits of natural homemade food for pets, like Homemade Doggy Dinners.

Kitschy Katz
Artist Ken Wong's uniquely appealing "Kitschy Kat's" figurines were a breath of fresh air amid the sea of ubiquitous pet leashes, cat brushes, and alternative clumping kitty litters at the Pet Expo.
On display were The Original 9 (get it?) Kitschy Kat creations which included Salt, Pepper, Copper, and out personal favorite -- Naskat.
For a complete list of the Kitschy Kats along with their pictures and prices see the link below.
