Halloween Pets Parade

Dixie is not wearing one, but two costumes tonight! For her first costume change, she is a sorority girl with her delta omega gamma letters.  That’s DOG, if that was all Greek to you.  And for the second part of the evening, she’s got a cuddly pig costume that no doubt, she’ll end up snoring in.  Dixie and I are wishing you all more treats than tricks. Check out these fun pics sent in from some of our readers all dressed up for Howl-o-ween!

Trendy Tuesday Announcement

With the economy the way it is, I think we're all having to cut back on luxuries and unfortunately, Pet Trends is no exception!  I'm sorry to announce that we will no longer be offering a weekly giveaway.  We had a lot of fun doing it and gave away some of my most favorite items for pets.  We'll still be trendy -- this is Pet Trends after all!  Be sure to check back next week to read about Dixie's first experience with a dog walker and stay tuned for more trendy updates soon!

Trendy Tuesday!

Over the river and through and the woods to grandmother’s house we go ... Holiday season is around the corner which means delicious food and lots of family time, but with this comes the hassle of traveling home for the holidays. That’s why this week we are making traveling this holiday season a little easier.

We are giving away a Tumbling Dice Carrier from Petflys.com. The carrier is airline approved and features a safety chain, shoulder strap, and stainless steel window. The best part is that it comes with an easy to clean, removable mat and cuddle blanket ensuring your four-legged friend’s comfort. With this carrier, it’s not a gamble whether your pet arrives safely and in style. The carrier’s sturdy design and cozy interior ensures that your pooch will get to your holiday destination safely, and will also give you one less thing to worry about. And it's perfect for cats too!

The carrier is valued at $85.00 and can also be purchased at petflys.com.
