REAL SIMPLE DEBUTS LIMITED-EDITION PET PRODUCT LINE EXCLUSIVELY AT TARGET






Sometimes, having a dog is just as much work as having a baby. My dog's toys are thrown all over the floor. She spills her food and water, and I always worry about what would happen to her if she gets out of the fence one day.   Luckily, I have found a "Real Simple" solution to most of my pet worries thanks to the wonderful organizational and safety products from the Real Simple pet product line, available exclusively at Target.


The collection includes:
·         Pet Bowls with removable metal food and water dishes
o   An air-tight press-down lid seals food keeping it fresh and portable
·         Dry Food Scoop with ½ cup and 1 cup measurements, and feeding instructions
·         Food Storage Bins with metal pop-top holders and dry food scoop
·         LED Light Pet Collar Charm and ID Tag with 1.25 inch diameter plastic LED charm and two light settings
·         Pet Toy Organizer which folds flat for easy storage
·         LED Light Solar Leash and Collar allows pets to play outside from day-to-night
       The LED light is rechargeable by USB and solar power
I was lucky enough to receive three of the new products to try out, and my Golden Retriever couldn't be happier.  The first thing I opened up was the Pet Toy Organizer, and this has been a blessing. I was always tripping over bones. Plus my baby is just starting to crawl, and he keeps trying to pick up the dog toys and eat them. Now, thanks to the organizer, I have a convenient storage location for all our pet toys. When Amber isn't playing with them, they go right inside the box.  When we're not using the box, its folds up and is easy to store. We keep it in a corner by the door, and Amber's even learning to retrieve what she wants when she's ready to play. Now, I just need to get her to learn how to put them back...

Next up was the Silicone Place Mats, and these are a life saver for my floor. It was a little too small for my dog's bowls, but out cat Stripes is loving his new mat. For once, he can eat and drink without pushing his bowls across the floor (he's an aggressive eater). And I love the easy clean up. If he spills something, I can just lift the mat and clean it off. No more water and food all over the floor.
Finally, we tried out the multifunctional LED Light Collar Charms. These stylish trinkets are for more than just fancy adornments. They serve two important purposes. First, they provide a long lasting light to help guide your dog in the dark of night. This is especially helpful for older dogs who might have trouble seeing. They also help you locate your dog in the yard, without having to yell and wake up your neighbors.  But wait, there's still more. Each tag comes with a free trail of the Pet Finder System. You can register your pet's info online. Then if someone calls the number on the collar, you will be reunited with your best friend if they ever get lost.

 By the way, Real Simple is also a fantastic magazine, and one of my favorites. A few years ago, I won a catered dinner thanks to an online sweepstakes they hosted. You can check out my post about that here, and see a few of the fabulous dishes our private chef cooked up. If you would like to learn more about Real Simple and all they have to offer, be sure to follow them on face book.
