Why this veterinarian loves the SureFlap microchip feeder SureFeed | Dr. Justine Lee
As a veterinary specialist and pet owner, I see a lot of pet products out there that are gimmicky and not worth the financial investment. That said, once in a while, I see a pet product that I LOVE and try out on my own pets. My favorite product as of late? The SureFlap, a microchip-activated automated pet food dispenser.

Read MoreTuggo Dog Toy Review | Dr. Justine Lee
Recently, I had the opportunity to try the Tuggo Dog Toy on my own 57-pound, pit bull mix. After seeing this ranked as one of top toys at SuperZoo, I decided to try it out myself. First, I should clarify that my dog, Milo, is a ball-crazed mutt. He loves tennis balls, ChuckIt toys, soccer balls, etc. So when I took this one out, his eyes literally dilated! The pros of the Tuggo Dog Toy: The plastic is extremely durable and thick. It’s easy to unscrew the ball with a coin to add in water...

Read MoreThe Honest Kitchen | Dr. Justine Lee Product Review
So, I had my first opportunity to try out The Honest Kitchen (THK)’s dehydrated dog and cat food. [As my dog has food allergies and atopy, he’s on a hypoallergenic diet, so he didn’t get the joy of trying this out. That said, my cats tried both the cat and dog formulation as a result!] First, kudos to the packaging. Ecofriendly with a really small carbon footprint. It’s compostable, recyclable cardboard and BPA-free packaging (Remember that BPA is traditionally only in...
