Belle Isle Marsh Reservation

       Riley and I often love to explore all that Boston has to offer.  Our latest adventure was to Belle Isle Marsh Reservations.  I heard about this place from other dog owners around my neighborhood and they said that Riley and I should check it out.

The reservation is located in East Boston.  The interesting part about the reservation is that it is Boston’s last remaining salt marsh.  It is open year round and there are 152 acres of land for your pup to go absolutely crazy!  Riley was like a little school girl when I opened the car door.  She couldn’t wait to run through the tall grass and and get her paws wet in water that runs through the reservation.  We walked along the pathway and we saw a lot of beautiful flowers and plants.  There are also benches to rest on in case you get a little tired, or just want to sit back and watch your pup enjoy the greater outdoors.  They also provide guided tours, during the tour they will let you know all the history behind the reservation.  Word to the wise after visiting the reservation, check your pup for ticks.  The warm weather is hear and we all know what that means…Ticks!  Also, bring a towel.  Your pup might get a little dirty if they are the adventurous type.

Happy Hiking!

The Pet Shop Girls

       The health bug seems to be hitting just about everyone these days.  And we are not the only ones going organic, but so are our pets.  I have had several people ask me where they can find a wide selection of all natural foods and treats for their pets.  So I did some research and found a great pet shop that has all amazing products for your dog or cat.

       The Pet Shop Girls located in the South End sells all the best products available for your pets.  A lot of the time people tend to stay away from smaller pet shops because they feel their products are going to be super expensive, or that the bigger pet shops have a lager variety of products along with the lower prices.  However, you will find a much smaller selections of all natural pet foods at the bigger pet store.  The Pet Shop Girls sell their products at competitive prices and their selection of pet food and treats is pretty unbelievable.  They research all their products to make sure they have nothing but the best.  The women that work in the shop are super friendly and very helpful.  They want your pet to have exactly what they need so they will work with you in order to find just what you need.

They also sell health supplements, toys, crates, books, pet beds, etc.  If you decide to check out the shop, don’t forget to leave there without a treat from their bakery.  Your pup will go crazy for them!

Lucky Dog Organics

       Now, normally I blog about places you can take your pup, but this time Riley came shopping with me on the Internet!  I came across a dog website called Lucky Dog Organics.  Lately I have been all about the organic products and Riley and I have been loving them.

What really made me like this website so much was an article that the owner had posted.  He wrote about how we need to be more conscious of what we are buying and how long it will actually last.  I feel the same way, that people need to consider how products are made, what they are made of and how long is it going to last. Instead of buying a product that you feel is fashionable for your pet and made out of cheap materials, consider maybe going a different route.  By buying products that are made of quality materials, they will last longer and save you money in the long run.  And in today’s economy, who doesn’t want to save money?

My roommates and I have been trying to be more “green” friendly so I figured, why not have Riley contribute a little to our green ways.  This website has a lot of cool things to choose from.  Some of the products include, hemp collars, recycled sailclothed dog beds, oxo-degradable waste bags, all natural dog treats, zogoflex dog toys that will last forever and so much more.  So if you are going green and you want your pup to get on board, I would suggest that you check out this website.
