Dog travel is one of the most exciting activities for dogs yet the most exhausting task for the owner. This is due to the fact that dogs also have motion sickness and it is also annoying to bring along all the pet travel kits that is necessary. Dogs are the kind of pets that needs to be well-fed or else they will unstoppably bark and roam around feeling distressed.

To avoid this kind of situation, you can just look for the right and useful tips to make sure that you won’t have any hassle in the trip once you bring along your pet with you. For the benefit of every pet owner, here some of the important tips in buying dog travel supplies:

• Look for the kind of dog travel supply that will combine safety with convenience not only for the part of your dog but for you as well.

• First, make sure that your dog will never leave your side especially during the travel by purchasing important tools and kits like safety harness, chains and other stuff.

• If your dog is your only passenger most of the time, make sure that you will buy the safest and most secured seat belt with a lockable buckle so your dog will not have the opportunity to jump our of the car window.

• Also make sure that your dog has his own safety harness inside the car because he might need this especially when there will be sudden stop and bumps that may cause dizziness to your beloved pet.

• Look for dog travel supplies that are easy to use or install, requires simple cleaning or washing, and won’t be torn apart too easily.

• To protect your car seats, it is also advisable for you to buy pet seat covers to avoid stains and pet odors.

• Make sure that the affordable cost of your dog travel supply goes along with the right quality. Of course, you will choose a kit that will last for a lifetime without giving you too much cost.

• You might also try pet barriers inside the car to protect the driver, passengers and your furry friend as well.

• To avoid pet injuries, you might also buy a dog ramp in order to give your pet a simple and safer way of going out of the car.

• To avoid messy food and other leftovers, you may also purchase a dog traveling dish or food dish so that your dog’s drink and food will always be clean, safe and fresh.

We made it to the Super Zoo. What an incredible experience. We were able to see and experience all the latest in pet products, pet food, apparel, training techniques and grooming. The Super Zoo was held this year at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

We will have many of these new products on ePetsDirect.com very soon. We have been able to negotiate great deals with the manufactures so we can pass the savings on to you. The creative and classy designs in pet beds and especially pet fashions will all be available on our site. We met very creative designers as well as those who have come up with new and innovative pet products from organic pet shampoos (that smell very good by the way) as well as organic pet food and organic pooper scoopers that dissolve in 2 days in the trash. We have also established a relationship with a manufactures of incredible new and innovate leashes and collars. They carry great products especially for walking two dogs at once without getting tangled in the leashes. They have great durable products that provide comfort for you and your dog.

We met Laddie. A direct descendant of the Hollywood Lassie. Nine generations to be exact. Laddie’s owner is the son of the original Lassie’s trainer and caretaker. He has been very successful in teaching training techniques and obedience classes. I’ll post the photo soon.

We also watched a great doggie fashion show. We were able to see the latest and greatest in upscale doggie couture. We will have some photos posted soon.

More on the Super Zoo to come.

Halloween party for the dogs from the co-creator of “The Simspons”.

This story is a goofy stew of big money, abandoned dogs, professional boxing, fine art, poker, and America’s favorite dysfunctional family, the Simpsons. Those various elements are embodied in the personality of a 52-year-old Californian named Sam Simon, a veteran television producer who is perhaps the Renaissance man of the baffling, uncertain age we live in.

I used to deny that I was a dog nut and people would ask me, ‘Well, what is a dog nut?’ And I would say, ‘Well, to me the line was when you start dressing up your dogs.’ And then I had to qualify that I don’t do that except on, you know, Halloween or special occasions,” Simon tells Safer.

Sam Simon’s Halloween costume party for dogs is something to bark about. There’s Harvey, his gigantic Irish wolfhound, and Casey, 16, deaf as a stone and of dubious provenance. Sam got Casey from an old girlfriend’s pot dealer. For his guests, Sam organized dog games and prizes for the best costume. Remember, this is Hollywood.

And Simon is not just any dog nut. This one runs the grandest dog shelter in the country, a five star, six acre spread in Malibu, perhaps the most desirable real estate on the planet. Here, among the waterfalls and the manicured grounds, the Sam Simon Foundation gives stray and abandoned dogs a new lease on life, literally.

“We rescue dogs and we train them to be service dogs, which helps people with disabilities,” he explains.

The dogs all come from southern California animal shelters, where many of them would otherwise be put down, a euphemism for killed. A fate that the ASPCA says befalls as many as nine million lost and unwanted dogs and cats each year in this country.
