Six Essentials for your Dog this Summer

By

With summer scratching at the door it’s not just time to think about how to update our wardrobe and gear but that of our favorite four legged friends too.

We have dug up six great items that are sure to make the dog days of summer all the more fun for you and your buddy.

Wolfgang Man and Beast Camoflag Collar

Recommended Videos

As you know, we are big fans of Wolfgang Man and Beast and this red, white and blue collar and leash set are July 4th appropriate without being overkill.

Paww Pick Pocket Pouch

Speaking of leashes, I think we are all tired of walking our dog with an embarrassing fire hydrant or plastic bone dangling off the leash to hold pick up bags.

The people at Paww have created these colorful and flat pouches to hold not just bags, but keys or cash when out with your dawg. We are hugely appreciative of this genius invention.

Paww Throw Bowl

Why didn’t we think of this? Out at the park with your dog playing frisbee and he gets thirsty? This frisbee pops open to become a handy water bowl and can hold up to 48 fl. oz. of H20 for your pup to lap up before you collapse it and keep the frisbee flying.

Social Pet Camera & Treat Dispenser

For those days that it may be too hot to take the pooch to the beach for the day, set up this cool system where you can watch your pet, offer him treats and even live stream the video on Facebook (although we wonder just how exciting our dogs are when they are chillin’ at home alone).

Harry Barker Travel Dog Food Storage Bag

Whenever we head out for the weekend with our dog we haul a canister of food or a Ziploc bag that ends up spilling. This smart travel bag is made from recycled materials,  holds 12 cups for kibble and has a waterproof lining.

K-10+ Dog Supplements

Just like humans, our pups can benefit from vitamins but any pet owner knows giving a dog a pill is one of the great feats of existence. Thankfully a dog loving New Yorker created K-10+, water soluble vitamin packets that you simply mix into their water creating a stress free experience for owner and pet. Seriously one of the best new ideas for the dog market. Oh and fear not, if you have a cat using the same water bowl it is harmless to them!

This made in America product comes in six different formulas and will definitely add a little spring to his step this summer:

Calming: Reduces anxiety and barking during storms, car trips, when flying on airplanes or boarding overnight. Will be useful during upcoming 4th of July celebrations where fireworks will be present.

Glucosamine: The weather is turning warm and you love running with your dog. Glucosamine is a preventative measure for joint care, helping keep your dog mobile and active longer.

Omega 3: Does your dog act as an icebreaker when meeting people during walks? Keep him looking his best with Omega-3. Also improves skin health, a shinier coat, and decreases shedding. Which means less cleaning and vacuuming the house. Double bonus – believe it or not dogs can suffer from seasonal allergies just like people do. Omega-3 formula combats seasonal allergies by reducing inflammation. Read more about that here.

UT/Lawn Care: Besides the Urinary Tract benefits, this formula does away with yellow spots on that hard earned green lawn.

Senior Care: Rich in anti-oxidants, provides nutritional support for a better, longer, more active life.

Multi Vitamin: Promotes general well being and hydration.

Finding a great movie on Netflix is hard enough, but it can sometimes feel like finding the best comedy movies on Netflix is nearly impossible. While Netflix certainly makes plenty of comedies of all stripes to choose from, they're often less than excellent. We're not here to judge, of course, but if you're looking for a comedy that has actual production value and some decent jokes, you may need to get just a little bit choosier. Thankfully, we're around to help you find the best comedy movies that Netflix has to offer.

Hugh Jackman on playing Wolverine again: ‘It literally doesn’t matter how I answer this’
Hugh Jackman isn't sure whether he'll be back as Wolverine
Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Deadpool & Wolverine's arrival in theaters is imminent, and with it, the return of Hugh Jackman's Logan. Jackman has been playing some version of Wolverine since all the way back in 2000. In 2017, it seemed like he had hung up his claws for good with the critically acclaimed Logan, which sees the character meet what seems to be a permanent end.

Seven years later, though, he was drawn right back into the fray. In a recent interview with Collider, Jackman was asked whether he would be playing Wolverine again, and he seemed to understand that fans could no longer take him at his word.

Steven Spielberg is to blame for the lack of kissing in ‘Twisters’
Steven Spielberg wanted to keep things professional for the Twisters leads
The cast of Twisters.

Fans of disaster movies are relishing in the news that Twisters made more than $80 million in its opening weekend. The decades-later sequel to Twister had an opening weekend that wildly exceeded expectations, and left many wondering whether we may eventually get another sequel.

For all of the movie's critical and commercial success, though, some notice that this disaster romance was lacking something that the first Twister was sure to include. Namely, the movie ends without Glen Powell's Tyler and Daisy Edgar Jones's Kate sealing their new relationship with a kiss. Some people naturally wondered why there was no kiss in the film, and it turns out that legendary director Steve Spielberg is the one to blame.
