There is nothing my dog loves more than playing with his KONG dog toy. I fill the toy up with peanut butter and then toss it on the ground. My dog will chase the toy all over trying to get the peanut butter out.
When he finally figures out how to open the toy he runs in circles wagging his tail. It takes him a few moments to calm down enough to actually lap up the peanut butter. This activity never fails to entertain him – which is a good thing since he is always full of energy!
Cats are generally thought of as clean animals. They rarely have accidents in the house and seem to be perpetually cleaning themselves. While that is all generally true, nothing is worse than the stink of a cat litter pan.
To help cut down on odor I use a few tricks. First off, I put a disposable liner in the bottom of the cat litter pan. The liner catches any excess excrement that may soak through the litter and it also makes disposing of used litter easier. The second trick I use is adding a healthy amount of baking soda to the litter. Baking soda is great for soaking up odor – that’s why your mother was always putting an Arm & Hammer box in the back of the refrigerator!
