GlowThrow Ball Launcher for Dogs

The GlowThrow promises to revolutionise the game of fetch allowing you to play with your dog in low-light conditions and even at night!  If you live a hectic life and get home at dusk or much later, you know how hard it is to give your dog some good exercise!  The GlowThrow is perfect for those dog owners who get home after dark and also people who happen to live in areas that get far less natural sunlight during the day, especially in winter! WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE GLOWTHROW?

Dog Eye Injuries can be a Vet Emergency

Eye injuries in dogs and cats are common and are usually caused by trauma (such as a fight with another animal), a foreign body in the eye, infection, an inability to form lubricating tears, or an abnormality in the eye.  WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF AN EYE INJURY?

We love dogs (how did you guess?) and we also love movies so as Oscar fever rises, we take a look at some of our all-time favourite movies featuring dogs. This list is obviously subjective and we probably could have added a few more...  Did your favourite make our list? 1. Marley & Me (2008) After their wedding, newspaper writer John Grogan and his wife Jennifer move to Florida. In an attempt to stall Jennifer's "biological clock", John gives her a Labrador puppy.  Whilst Marley quickly grows into a 100-pound dog, he loses none of his puppy energy or rambunctiousness and he certainly gains no self-discipline. Marley's antics give John rich material for his newspaper column. As the Grogans have children of their own, Marley continues to test everyone's patience by acting like the world's most impulsive dog. It does not matter how many times you watch this movie, it will remind you of your dog's ant...
