Bamboo Pet Product Review

     In keeping with the National Pet Dental Month theme I asked Bamboo® pet products if I could review one of their toothbrushes for cats in hopes that it would be an alternative to the fingertip toothbrush. In response I was sent one QuadBrush® and two tins of breath mints for cats and dogs.

     I like the unique design of the QuadBrush®. The one side offers three bristle heads for cleaning all sides of the teeth. The other side has a single head of bristles for cleaning those hard to reach places. The textured handle makes it easy to grip and keeps my fingers away from those sharp teeth.

     Unfortunately, the brush is too big for my fur kid’s mouths but the single head does allow me the opportunity to brush their teeth on one side.

     The QuadBrush® comes in three colors: Blue, pink, and yellow-green. It also has a sanitary cover to keep the brush clean but it is temperamental about staying closed sometimes it only takes a slight bump for it to pop open.

     The breath mints were the biggest hit. The CatToids™ and DogToid™ tins are cute in design and easy to open with one hand or one paw as Majic figured out. The mints themselves are just as whimsical as the tins. The mints are in the shapes of fish and bones.

     James insists that he has to pick out his own CatToid™ mint from the tin. Lance prefers the DogToid™ mints. Trixie thinks she needs a handful at a time of either mint.

     Overall, the QuadBrush® is great for keeping my fingers safe and I can use the one side for cleaning Lance and Jame’s teeth. The design is great for animals with larger mouths.

The Sanitary cover needs some work as it opens too easily or doesn’t close at all.

Adrenal Claims Another Soul

     For those that have been following this blog for a while now knew that my little girl Gweny had Adrenal disease. I think she may have been the runt of her litter but she had spunk. She ruled the boys with an iron will and when need be teeth. She made up for her tiny size by doing things in a large way.gweny1

     But the disease that only took the hair from around her tail Picture 040 and left the rest of her body sparsely covered won at 1 a.m. I checked on her at 12:30 a.m. and at that time she took my finger in her tiny paws and shook it gently her way of giving kisses. I told her it was all right if she went I only hoped that would be painless.

     She stopped eating her duck soup at 10 p.m. and snuggled up to her baby doll while still in her Santa hat. sleepinggwen That is how I found her with her head in the lap of the doll and the hat like a sleeping bag.

     I know she was met at the Rainbow Bridge by her brothers; Bandit, Blizzard, Ashes, Mouse, and Galahad along with all the other animal pals waiting for their humans to come for them. I am sure she has all the shoes she can hide and is playing with everyone.

     While my heart feels like it has been ripped out again I know in time that it will heal and that I will never forget my dear little girl Gweny.
