Meet the Breeds 2013
This past weekend, AKC put on the Meet the Breeds show at Javitts Center and Adalhi and I wen to check out these pooches! This years show consisted of numerous breeds from A-Z, pet related vendors, Motel 6 and even a few speciality cats in the mix. It was a great opportunity to come see rare breeds, giant breeds and what ‘breed’ standards look like. We wanted to go early for all the great dog food samples and to see all the dogs before their nap time.
Pet Parents is an insurance company that was a huge sponsor. They took ‘huge’ so literally and provided 2 photo booths along with a ton of HUGE dog items like this giant dog bowl with giant kibble.
A giant tennis ball!

Bath and Body for your Dog with @EpiPet Products
How do you keep a white/pink dog clean, happy and healthy?
White dog owners all know that white dogs are special. They require special grooming, diet and even behavioral attention at times. White dogs may have sensitive skin to sun exposure and also sensitive stomachs and allergies. Epi Pet offers a line of pet car products for dogs and horses which are multi-functional enriching and suitable to all color dogs.
Epi Pet Skin Treatment Spray:
This spray comes in lavender, cedar mint and unscented. The purpose of this product is to stop shedding, odor and itching on your dog. To use this, just spray generously over your dog’s fur and into the skin then brush it in well. The secret ingredient here is “Galactroarabiana” – a super moisturizer found in the Larch Tree. Daily application will reduce shedding. There is also anti inch elements like tea tree oil and true essential oils and 5 all natural insect repellants. If your dog is like Jacob and doesn’t like ‘sprays’ then spray it on the brush and then comb him with the wet brush.
Epi Pet Cleansing Agent Shampoo:
This shampoo is tearless, soap free and safe for puppies and kittens. It is loaded with great natural ingredients. It is recommended that you microwave a bit of the shampoo for 10 seconds prior to use for max effectiveness like whitening or odor removal. It is compatible with all flea and tick treatments and becomes ‘medicated’ when microwaved. Excited to try this next bath to see how ‘white’ Jacob can get!
Epi Pet Sun Protector Spray:
A sun loving dog’s worse nightmare is a sunburn! This is great for dogs and horses alike and contains 4 sunscreen ingredients to protect from UVA and UVB. It is especially recommended for short hair dogs predisposition to skin tumors like boxers, dobermans, bull dogs, pit bulls, bichons, poodles, schnauzers. I will bring this next time we go for a hike or to the beach.
Epi Pet products have a slight vanilla scent that is mild and great for your dog.

Doggie Time by @mochijolie from @uncommongoods
If you are a fan of cutesy awesome products from SUCK UK or Fred Flare you have to check out my new discovery – Uncommon Goods.
I found this website while looking for a present for all my Virgo and Libra friends and for my husband who is on the cusp. This site is extra cool! They have a huge range of items are really are ‘uncommon’ and full on indie design options for everyday items. Need some accessories for your phone?Check it out here
Already planning for Christmas? Get a head start on Stocking Stuffers here.
Going to a housewarming party? Birthday party? Just because? Find an array of amazing items here !
Their most Pinterest friendly item must be the shower squid. (Which I also want badly!)
Uncommongoods have a great range of indie artist who create perfectly chic items that make great presents. The best part is that they have carefully curated content with really great prices. While I was going through the site, I discovered a LA based brand called Mochi and Jolie. They create dog watches that have silhouettes of different breeds.
“Time with your canine friend isn’t measured in dog years, but in walks, cuddles, ball catches, and treats. Now, with these playful watches, you can keep your puppy with you every minute of the day, even when you have to be apart. Each one features your choice of breed on its face, capturing those distinctive features in a profile silhouette on its face. The clear plastic wristband and housing make the watch easy to match with any outfit. It’s a perfectly fetching accessory for any dog lover. Japanese quartz movement. Watch battery included. Made in Hong Kong.”
I think the Labrador one looks most like Jacob so I got this one! The clear straps make it so fashionable and easy to wear and the design is beautiful! I got several compliments the first time I wore it. It is extremely lightweight and great for walking the dog and keeping track of time. I don’t want to take my phone with me everywhere but I still want to know what time it is. The face is totally numberless and the second hand is extremely quiet. The straps are clear with a slight purple on the edges which I love. I also like that it is quite flat so it is easy to wear under long sleeve, jackets and sweaters.
Best of all, it looks just like my dog Jacob!
The Dog Watch is $65 and available on http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/dog-watches
