Support Sheltie Nation and Win! Bags on Board

Did you know that the bacteria found in pet waste poses health risks to you and your community? Yep, that cute Sheltie that loves to cuddle and fetch also has some nasty stuff in his intestines… stuff that can not only contaminate water supplies, but also result in a fine if you don’t pick it up.  Being responsible isn’t always fashionable, but Bags on Board makes that easier!

While the original Bags on Board gets the job done, some folks wanted something jazzier. This new fun bone designs come in pink or turquoise marble is just the ticket! This design is easy to use because one end unscrews for refill replacement and has a large opening for grabbing hold of the bag.  It also hooks easily onto the leash so there is no need to remember a bag on your way out the door. Features include:

  • Compact dispenser holds 15 large doggie cleanup bags
  • Attaches to any leash
  • Environmentally-friendly
  • Includes 30 bags

We have partnered with Bags on Board to offer a raffle off two of this new design!  If you sign up to help support Sheltie Nation by being a Premium Member at our forums, you can enter to win! Click here:  Learn more and enter today by visiting the Sheltie Nation Bags on Board thread!

Additional information about Incolay:

Incolay is a handcrafted product that is made right here in the USA. It is not mass produced by machinery in China.

All products are made by hand, from beginning to end by skilled artisans. This means that the Incolay 2-part stone formula is mixed by hand, poured by hand, de-molded by hand, finished by hand and antiqued by hand.

There is a lot of time and work that goes into each product, which accounts for the cost and collectibility factor.

To learn more, here are a few pictures from some of the artisians at the Incolay factory.

Shelties are smart and it can be a challenge to keep them entertained.  As a result, I’m always on the lookout for fun & unusual products for my little Sheltie geniuses.  ;)

Designer Doggy is a trendy new webstore that focuses on designer dog beds, carriers and clothes. They carry products by some of the major pet designers like Oscar Newman, Cece Kent & Foufou Dog.  But I’ve found the real hidden treasure for Sheltie lovers is in the toy section!

Designer Doggy has great selection of 10 different puzzle toys as well as some super fun plush toys! How can you not love the “I-Bone“, “Hard-Bark guitar” or the “Chewy Vuitton” squeaky toy?

Although, if you really want to challenge & stimulate your Sheltie, (short of getting a herd of Sheep) try a puzzle toy!  Shelties love to show off their skills and intelligence – they are good problem solvers, so working together on a puzzle toy is an additional fun way for you to interact with your pup.

These type of toys require the dog to push, shove, roll and bat the toy around to get the toy to drop or dispense the treats.  (The toys are not designed to be chewed on, although some are resistent to being chewed on.)  A Shelite that is heavily mouth oriented may not enjoy this kind, but other dogs can go crazy for them. Watch your Shelite at play. If they tend to use their paws to hold, stop, catch or bat a toy then it will likely enjoy a puzzle toy.  Designer Doggy sells several different degree of difficulty puzzles so it is easy to find one right for your Sheltie.

(These Nina Ottosson Interactive Dog Toy Puzzles were also winners of the PupLife.com 2008 Top Ten Dog Products of the Year.)

Tempting enough for you to try?  Well, Designer Doggy also offers a very competitive $5.00 flat rate shipping on all orders, but if you order $150.00 or more, shipping is free!  So if you are looking for something different, check out Designer Doggy!
