What's good enough for Oprah is good enough for us!

We're happy to report our latest MUST & LUST products are up for this week. We decided to it was time to double-feature gifts from popular pet product label Harry Barker. Harry Barker immediately appealed to us for a number of reasons but most importantly, because of their dedication and commitment to the environment.

PetShopGirls proudly stocks Harry Barker products not only because the majority of their products are made of a variety of recycled materials (including recycled steel and plastic) but also because their range features products that are high quality, durable, sleek and fun!

What's more? Oprah is a fan! Harry Barker products are consistently featured in 'O Magazine' so we figure  if Oprah's pampered pooches approve, ours will be sure to give two paws up!

This week our MUST-have gift is a gorgeous Felt Mouse Catnip Toy ($9) - available in a variety of bright colours and filled with organic catnip, promising hours of fun for your feline friend!

Felt Mouse Catnip Toys - Only $9!

And our luxe LUST-have gift of the week? Harry Barker's Chelsea Leash ($30) - made from 100% certified recycled plastics. Our Chelsea Leash selection includes four gorgeous, modern colour combinations in 'one size fits all' 1.8m x 1.9cm.

Sleek & Sophisticated. Chelsea Leash ($30).

Happy shopping!

RSPCA Million Paws Walk 2011

PetShopGirls' resident product-tester Ruby was a stray dog fortunate enough to find a home with us. Many of her fellow stray dogs and cats have not been so lucky. The RSPCA does a fantastic job looking after those animals that have never known pampering like your own furry family member. 

This year RPSCA's Million Paws Walk will take place on Sunday 15 May. There are various walk locations across Australia so we've got no doubt you'll be able to find one close to you!

Tens of thousands of people will take part in this year's event, organised to help raise vital funds for the RSPCA and all animals in their care.

You can register online here - Million Paws Walk  - and even start your own page to raise additional funds.

PetShopGirls supports the RSPCA and is 100% behind this event. So why not give something back to the animals who aren't as fortunate as your own much-loved pets?

Ruby sends her thank-you's in advance.

Our beautiful Ruby.

'Tux'... the new 'Kong'?

We can't help but share this great product review on West Paw Design's 'Tux' chew toy. We love these toys for a number of reasons, all perfectly detailed in this blog entry - http://whomovedmybone.com/zogoflex-tux-the-kong-killer/.

We love 'Tux' (and West Paw Design in general) because this product is 100% recycled, not to mention fun, bright and indestructible!

PetShopGirls sells 'Tux' in size large and in three colours - blue, orange and green. You can buy one here - http://www.petshopgirls.com.au/products/14-toys/67-tux-chew-toy

If your dog loves to chew, this will be the best $30 you've ever spent.

Happy chewing!
