Life Hacks

Use a slow-feeder bowl for fast eaters

Pets

A bowl with built-in obstacles slows your dog's eating from "vacuum" to "chew." Cuts bloat risk and the food actually digests properly.

Use a lint roller for cat shedding

Pets

A standard sticky lint roller, run gently along your cat's back, removes loose hair before it ends up on your couch. Most cats love it.

Brush your dog before vacuuming

Pets

5 minutes of brushing your shedding dog outside removes more hair than vacuuming twice. The vacuum bag fills up slower and the carpet looks better.

Use a squeegee to pick up pet hair from carpet

Cleaning

A rubber window squeegee drags pet hair off carpet fibers far faster than any lint roller. The hair balls up at the edge of the stroke.

Microchip + collar tag together

Pets

A collar tag gets your pet home fast from a neighbor. A microchip gets your pet home from a shelter or hundreds of miles away. Both — not one.

A frozen wet washcloth helps teething puppies

Pets

Wet a washcloth, wring it out, freeze it, and give it to a teething puppy. Numbs the gums and gives them something safe to gnaw.
