Check meowt






I hope that everyone had a great Christmas!  Any time of year, and especially around the Holidays my husband and I like to make donations.  This year after a few health scares with our kitty, Nephthys, we were amazed by the determination of the staff at an emergency vet in Scottsdale, Arizona.  I will write up a post about her health and the answers we finally found later but tonight I want to focus on the great products that we included.

I really enjoy planning out how to give gifts as a presentation.  I had the idea of everything bundled together.  I ran across something at Target (of course!) that made my vision come to life. 




I saw this beverage holder and I thought it would be adorable containing gifts, something different than your average basket or gift bag.  I didn’t see it on the website but I got one in gold.  

We anxiously waited for the items that we ordered to arrive so we could fill the tub with goodies.  We first printed out a large photo of our cat to give to the vet as a thank you for saving her life not once but twice.  We wanted to get things for dogs and cats and we were able to get 4 dog toys, 15 cat wands, and 5 blankets. 


I found these great stuffed toys by SimplyFido and what I liked about them is the fact that they are organic and I liked the reviews I saw for the stuffed toys that I saw from other consumers, they were saying how they held up very well during rough playtime with their dogs.  With kids, parents are concerned about what their child put’s in their mouth and where it comes from.  SimplyFido aims to enrich the lives of families by protecting your pets.  Since pets have toys in their mouth constantly, it is important to know that they are coming from a place that values their products and most importantly, your pets. 


I purchased the adorable little bunny and alligator.  I bought Leo the lion for my cat as well *who says cats can't play with dog toys? I ordered mine at: Only Natural Pet.


When our kitty came home from her 2 night stay at the vet, the office mistakenly gave us two of their own blankets thinking they belonged to Nephthys.  We told them that they were not hers but being the kind hearted people they are, they said she could have them anyway.  During stressful times we wanted to get blankets that we could imagine wrapping these sweet animals with love.  My husband found this website with blankets that we thought would fit the bill.  



Since pets can be messy in general, you can only imagine what a vet must endure.  We felt like we needed to donate blankets that could help warm up and comfort many animals and last the vet a long time.   The description on American Blanket's Company website really expressed what we wanted to hear:

A soft, durable, odor and stain resistant pet blanket. Protect your furniture, car upholstery and dog bed with a high quality, smooth, low pile fleece dog blanket that can be washed and dried again and again and still look and feel soft as new. Most pet blankets claim to be non-shedding and pill resistant, but only ours stands the test of time. Keep one at home and one in the car. Made in the USA. Guaranteed for life.

Led by a small team in Fall River, Massachusetts quality product and customer happiness is their true mission. The founder of this company spent much of his life in factories marveling at the accomplishments his father had made in his own endeavors. In 1993 the light bulb went off and with a simple request made by his sister asking if she could have some fleece fabric to give to her boyfriend as a blanket, the idea for the company was formed. And now, here they are, after founding and later selling their first company: Berkshire Blanket with the All American Blanket Company. After many years under their belts, I am not surprised this company has seemed nothing but professional and the quality of their blankets could make any animal want to curl up in your lap.



And last, but certainly not least, are the wonderful cat wands we purchased:






These wands are made by Hyendry the reason I purchased from this site for our donation is because I have bought my cats many, many toys from this site and let me tell you...my cats not only love them but they are durable!  Living in a house with 1 four legged Queen, 1 four legged Princess and 1 four legged King I need to make good offerings to them to keep them as happy as possible.  My hubby and I will go to the pet store and realize that our spoiled babies have pretty much every toy there.  Sometimes the toys from the local pet store break the same night we get them.  Hyendry you can tell cares about the quality of these toys and most importantly, can think like a cat and know just what might bring out their sweet imagination.  

Hyendry comfurt pet products are designed to meet the varied needs of all pet enthusiasts, whether you're a pet owner, breeder, rescue organization or shelter. As pet owners ourselves, our goal is to provide our customers with the highest quality products that are hand-made in the USA at reasonable prices. We believe Hyendry comfurt pet products are one of the best options for your pets and once you try Hyendry, we know you will agree !



I opted to get 15 of 'the dazzler' sticks.  I wanted to find something I thought would be suitable to play with the cats at the vet.  The 'dazzler' cat teaser wand is made up of brightly colored, 100% nylon tube ribbons which are wound and secured to a 12" wooden handle that will simply "dazzle" your feline. The 'dazzler' comes in many different colors as well.  



My order came very fast and all the wands were beautiful and in perfect condition.  With every order the owners even throw in a little plastic ball for your furry friends to play with, my cats play soccer with that ball and we sure get a kick out of watching them.  

If you're looking for something new for your pet, or you want to make a donation to your own local vet or shelter, check out some of these great products we used in our bundle.


Sincerely,
