Happy Mother's Day from barker & meowsky

Listen to your Mother!

Mother's Day is this Sunday. (No need to panic, there's still time to find the perfect gift for the woman who feeds, bathes and walks you.) Because we know that all a Mother really wants is for you "to be happy" we've gathered some of her sagest (and most repeated) advice.

"Be safe"

We all know that Lassie could find her way home, even from miles and miles away, but not all pooches are that proficient. ID tags are a great way to ensure that if you and your furry friend ever get separated, you're only a phone call away.

Until May 31st, with the purchase of any collar, you will receive 20% off the purchase of an ID Tag. (Coupon code: MOM08)*

ID tags: $12 and up. Peace of mind: Priceless! (These tags are cat and dog tested and Mother approved.)

*Enter coupon code into the gift message area when placing your order - discount will be reflected on sales receipt with shipment.

"Eat your veggies"

A balanced diet is important, not only for over-all health, but to maintain strong bones and a shiny coat. A great way to ensure proper nutrition is by giving your furry friend treats made of healthy vegetables. Veggie Life treats come in a variety of delicious flavors (sweet potato fries, sweet potato chews, chicken & banana, chicken & apple, and chicken & sweet potato) and are reinforced with additional vitamins and minerals to provide even more health benefits; "Happy Hips" for strong joints and "Vitality" for over-all health.

Our in-house taste-testers give them 4 enthusiastic paws up!

"Make your bed"

Getting a good nights sleep is essential, especially when your waking hours are filled with chasing balls, trotting through the neighborhood or wrestling with a catnip carrot. Whether your furry friend prefers to curl up, stretch out or flop on their side, we have beds, mats and blankets that will make chasing dream bunnies a very relaxing experience.

Check out our favorite new line of beds; the Pod, Podium and Nest. Their sleek and modern design will compliment any decor while their classic colors will please even the pickiest of parents. A bed every Mother will love.

"Be Good"

Taking care of our planet is everyone's responsibility, but it doesn't have to be a chore. With the many green options at barker & meowsky your cat or canine companion can nap, play, eat or even make a fashion statement all while reducing their carbon paw-prints.

Our latest additions are the "recycle ball" and "recycle bone". These fun, durable toys are made entirely in the U.S.A. from 100% safe materials that would otherwise have been discarded. Have a great time with the three Rs: Reduce, Re-use and Rewoof.

"Do your homework"

Some people say that, "a job well done is it's own reward" but everyone knows that after working hard a real reward is much, much better. Enrichment toys are the choice of Dog and Cat Behaviorists and we got 'em! Because every Mother knows that when the mind and body are busy, noone's getting into trouble. We have recently introduced some great interactive puzzle toys that are a very smart choice.

The Leo and Leo Mini are a bouncing, tugging, fetching and challenging treat dispensing toy. Use one on it's own, or link them together to increase the difficulty and fun!
The reward is the best part - your canine genius can get rewarded with an IQ treat (specially designed for the Leo products) that is grain free and rich in powerful Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. A delicious way to learn.

The Play-N-Treat toy is challenging and rewarding for your feline friends. They get a realistic foraging experience (cats love to hunt for their food). They will not only get mental/physical stimulation but the slower feeding aids digestion and promotes better nutrient absorption.

It's fun to be the smart kid, Mom was right!
