Kristen, welcome back.

Great to be here.

While the holidays bring us so many decorative things in the house, what are the best ways to care for our furniture?

So, CLAWGUARD is this great company that makes solutions to protect our furniture and the finishes in our homes from the claws that our pets have. I am going to do a quick demo for you now that shows CLAWGUARD’s training tape, which is a double-sided sticky tape. Place it like this (on a furniture arm) and then peel it back so it's clear. When your cats go for it, it feels sticky and they won’t want to scratch it. And then you can easily move it. It won’t harm the furniture. It’s safe and when you have guests over, you can take it off and they don’t have to see it. You can use it on countertops if you don’t want the cat to jump on the counter. It’s a great deterrent for that.
But CLAWGUARD also makes this awesome door shield. I think we have a picture. It’s not uncommon for dogs to scratch the front door until the point where it gets damaged. Well, this is super easy to install. You just flip it over the door knob and you can take it on or off as you need to, and it protects the door from the dog’s claws. And then finally, CLAWGUARD makes a protection tape that is single-side sticky and it’s great for baseboards and window sills and things like that.
Okay. Now I also see that you have toys and bowls here. So let’s think about meal planning.

Yes. Meal planning is really popular right now for humans, but also for pets. Messy mutts is an awesome new company and they make pet care less messy and more fun. So we have this great set of stainless steel bowls with silicone lids and you can prepare your pet’s meals maybe on Sunday and just pull it out of the refrigerator each day. It is also good if sometimes your pet doesn’t finish a meal so I just put the lid on and then store it for the next meal time. They also have these fun molds that you just… I made these last night (showing the tray). It’s pumpkin puree, which is her favorite treat, and they just pop right off.

That’s adorable!

Yes, these are fun and they also make this great travel water bottle.

And this is great because you can just pour water right out and your dog can lick water right out of it.

And they also have great lids that actually stay on the can. Have you ever bought a lid for your pet food and it just fell right off?

In our last minute, I want to talk about keeping things neat and tidy because it is really easy to accumulate a lot.

So true. So JOJO Modern Pets makes a great solution. We’ve got the plastic bin to keep your kibble fresh. And kibble is expensive today. And with prices going up, that would keep the kibble fresh and also keeps bugs out. If you don’t want to pour the kibble in there, you can just put your bags down in it. That will keep it nice and fresh. Also, the little toy basket over there is great to keep toys from looking all messy. And then finally, we’ve got some little treat canisters down there that really are a stylish way to store your treats so that you don’t have all those messy bags all over the place and these store bags you can buy at Macy’s.com.

Kristen, always a pleasure having you here. Thanks you so much!
