GollyGear

Was it me or do you feel that winter comes a little early this year? It’s only beginning of December and I’m already feeling the icy wind. Can you image how fido (especially for those smooth-, short-, and single-coated dogs) would feel without any clothing to keep him warm during these cold seasons.

Keeping your dog at home all day long until Spring comes or crank up your heating system isn’t a feasible solution or environmental friendly to say the very least.

Here are two chic sweaters for your little pooch—Dublin Knit (top) and Houndstooth. There are 4 different sizes from teacup to medium. Both sweaters are made of acrylic hence they are sold at a very reasonable price range from $10 (xxs) to $21 (medium). To sweeter the deal, GollyGear is having a 10% off on any order. Code: joyjoy. Expiry date Jan 5, 2010.

Don’t let the chill keep your dog from having fun this winter. Go out and go out in style!

MegaCalendars and Calendars

Before you kiss goodbye 2009, you would want to welcome 2010 with these adorable dog calendars. There are many types of calendars to choose from; such as desk, wall, and address book calendars. Of course not forgetting the evergreen individual dog breed calendars or the bestselling assorted dogs calendars.

Who should you it from?

Both MegaCalendar.com and Calendars.com don’t differ much when it comes to prices or maybe half a dollarish cheaper in Calendars.com for some less popular dog calendars.

Navigation wise, again Calendars.com seems to be a bit easier when you want an overview on all the dog calendars. Having said, if you do know exactly which dog breed you want to be your 2010 calendar then both are equally easy to navigate using their search tool.

As for selections, MegaCalendars.com has more but most, if not all, are on individual breeds. Whereas Calendars.com has both assorted and individual dog breeds calendars.

Currently only Calendars.com has these promos:

• Free shipping on any order. Code: AF1109FS01
• One Day Only. 15% off on any order + free shipping. Code: EM120915 ( valid on Dec 8 )
• DogBreedStore: 20% off + free shipping on orders of $25 and more. EM1109DBS20 ( expires Dec 9 )

At the end of the day, it voices down to which kind of calendar would best suit your needs. But one can’t deny that 365 Dogs Page-A-Day Desk Calendar is a must-have whether or not you have other favorites. There are 313 pages of glorious color photographs including short health care tips, quotes, breed facts, trivia, and lore. It’s sold at $12.99 (before discount) at calendars.com.

Wysong: Holiday Stockings

The best way to a dog’s heart is through his stomach. Not just any dog food/treats but Wysong’s. And not just for your dog but all your friends’ and families’.

One of the best Christmas gifts for dogs and cats this year is Wysong Holiday Stockings. Each stocking contains:

• 1 Bag of Dog Treats ($0.99)
• 1 Small Bag of Dream Treats ($2.89)
• 2 Single Dream Treats (0.69 ea.)
• 2 Pouches of UnCanny (2.09 ea.)
• 1 Au Jus Turkey 5.5 oz can ($1.79)

and along with lots of free Wysong health information and product literature! Read my review if you’re new to Wysong’s line of dog foods. All these items (valued at $11.23) in each stocking are priced at $9.99 + $5.00 S/H. What will make this deal even sweeter is to use my special coupon code SMALLDOG18 and get 18% off the sale price. It may not be much for one stocking but with 5 stockings (WS limits to 5 stocking per order due to high demand) it comes close to $9 off of the total sales price.

DogTagArt: Dog Tags

If dog food as gift isn’t your cup of tea and you want to make a strong and lasting statement, may I suggest DogTagArt’s dog tags. These aren’t your regular plain dog tags that wears off easily or get chewed into pieces. DogTagArt’s dog tag is a combination of unique Art design (designed by a list of artists…and it could be you) and made of indestructible material—tags are guaranteed never to wear out (check out their train test video here).

They have slightly over two hundred designs to choose from. Prices range from $9 to $14.95. You do get $2.00 off when you use this coupon code: HOLIDAY2OFF!. It’s valid until this Dec 25th. Any other promo offers by DogTagArt, please check out my pet coupon page.

Ever since, I always make sure my dogs’ needs and gifts are in the top priority. I start shopping for their gifts and treats as early as 1st week of November to avoid disappointment. This year is no otherwise.

Let’s start things off with offers from now to Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and gradually leading up to Christmas.

OnlyNaturalPet: 3 Days Sale

Just received ONP last minute information so I thought I casually mention their 3 Days Only Sale (now to Nov 22nd) – 15% on all ONP products if you can catch the deal. They have quite a big range of house brand products that you can find it here (best sellers) and here (sale items). Two worthy mentioned products are ONP Pure Salmon Oil and ONP Super Daily Canine Multi-Vitamin.

All the discounted prices are listed as it is, no coupon code needed.

PetNutritionProducts: Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deal

Not exactly something most of us pet parents would get for our companions this Christmas, but it never hurts to get some essentials stock up. And since PNP offers a special Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal—10% site wide in addition to their many existing discounted items, all the more reasons to shop at PNP. Some worthy essentials are:

• Brewers Yeast supplement ($7.39, 1000 chewables). Read my earlier articles on the importance of supplementing our dogs here.
• Natural Balance Dog Food Roll trial size beef or lamb ($24.69, 36 x 2.75 oz). Most commonly used as training treats, but it need not be for this holiday season especially training lessons will be minimized or postponed.
• Oatmeal Shampoo ($3.69, 16oz or $8.34, 48oz). Need I say more why you should shampoo your dog preferably before in-laws come over for Thanksgiving?

While you at it , don’t forget to throw Dental Breath Mints ($3.70, 40 tables) into the cart before check out. You don’t want your guests be turned off by your dog’s breath when he greets them at the door!

All prices mentioned above are before the 10% discount. This offers is valid from Nov 27th to Nov 30th. No coupon code needed.

PetCareRX: Now to Cyber Monday

One of the most affordable pet pharmacy (prescription and non-prescription) store online. Some of their worthy mention are Advantage Flea Killer and Frontline Plus which can be found here. They have different offers on different days but the best offers would be Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

• Nov 23rd – 26th: 15% off orders over $50
• Nov 27th (Black Friday): 25% off ALL orders!
