With their modern style and adorable puppy pattern, Aylor’s Dog Lover Room Darkening Curtains are perfect for any room in the house. This two-pack of panels is crafted from machine-washable polyester, which is both lightweight (yet heavy enough to darken a room) and pleasing to the touch.

Now you can take cozy to a whole new level. This 15-by-10-inch throw pillow gets right to the point in a simple, sweet message written in two whimsical fonts: “All you need is love…and a dog.” Preach!

Although the rustic-style pillow looks like burlap, it’s made of polyester and cotton; so you won’t need to worry about fabric quality. Not only is the pillow comfy, but it’s also an attractive addition to nearly any couch, chair, or bed with its spacious, rectangular shape. Before you know it, your pet might just be napping with it, too.

Each set of four features a Labrador, Boston terrier, bulldog, and husky planter, all of which have drainage holes, mesh mats for plant comfort, and pads on the feet on the pot.

If you don’t have any plants around that need a home, these little pots also make the perfect pencil jar or paper clip holder. They’re just so cute, it would be hard not to use them!

Dog Gone Smart Dirty Dog Doormat

At first glance, this doormat is colorful and cute, with a big white paw print outline in the center.  When you look closely at this fluffy textured mat, however, you’ll notice that the microfiber material is super absorbent, too. The product description claims that this doormat can hold up to seven times its weight in water, dirt, and mud — which may make this the ideal gift for your dog’s feet rather than yours!

Fortunately, customers agree. Countless reviews appreciated the rug’s super-absorbent qualities, soft and paw-friendly texture, and easy cleanup. Sounds like a winner all around!

Big dog lying on bed

One of the most lovable things about dogs is their attachment to you, their pet parent. They want to be wherever you are — no ifs, ands, or buts. Although you, of course, adore spending time with your four-legged friend, there are times when you might want your space — for instance, when it's time to go to sleep.

Dogs don't always understand these boundaries at first, but it is possible to train them to sleep in their crate, a dog bed, or anywhere else you prefer that's not your sleeping spot. With these five tips and tricks, you can learn how to keep your dog off your bed and in their own in no time.

6 summer bandanas for your dog to liven up the season in style
Will your dog go for the tropical palm tree bandana or prefer to stick to a muted solid?
Four Australian shepherd dogs sitting while wearing bandanas

You and your dog can rock out with just a simple accessory: bandanas for dogs. Because these only go around their necks like a collar, most pups don't mind, and it can even be fun for both of you. This summer, go all out by choosing a themed style for your animal (or take it another step further and match your outfits).
Beach
Hitting up the shore this summer? Your dog can look the part, too. Dress your pup up with a tropical-themed bandana for an easy way to get beach chic. This outfit can also be functional since you may want to protect them from the sun. Try out a slightly larger size and block a few rays.
Travel
If your little bud comes with you on vacation, get extra into your adventures by decking them out in the style of your destination. Perhaps you've decided to hit up "The Big Apple" and can dress them in an "I Love NY" bandana or you want to give them a Disney princess-themed scarf for a trip to sunny Florida.
America
Just in time for the Fourth of July, stock up on your America-inspired outfits. Flag code states that you should never wear the symbol but you can instead look for a red, white, and blue design. Alternatively, find other ways to celebrate the country by using patriotic images, such as national parks or historic monuments.

National Pet Month
The month of May is a time to celebrate pets. Take this opportunity to highlight your favorite cause like National Dog Mom Day (May 14) or National Rescue Dog Day (May 20). Another idea is to get your pet's name embroidered on a bandana of your choice to make it unique to them.
Animals
Instead of putting the spotlight on pets, try finding another animal to adorn your furry friend. They might look cute in a cat-themed bandana or perhaps one covered in unicorns. No matter what you decide, your fur baby will love being able to support their fave species (after dogs, of course).
Colors
Bandanas feature bright colors and patterns, but you can also stick with more muted pastels or neutrals to match your animal's coat. For example, a bright yellow could look especially boss on a black Lab for contrast or a beige might blend in nicely on a Shiba Inu. Don't forget to try rainbow and tie die, which is a reliable staple.

Did you find worms in your dog’s poop? Here’s how to identify and treat them
Parasitic worms can cause real problems in pets — here's how to treat them and take care of your furry friend
Dog runs through the grass outside

Keeping our dogs regular is a fundamental part of pet ownership and is usually pretty easy. Their food includes all the nutrients they need plus maybe a built-in probiotic to help maintain digestion. Sometimes, though, you'll suddenly find your pup has diarrhea, and you'll have to figure out exactly what's going on inside. While there are a number of different possible causes, it could be worms, which can turn serious and even into a life-threatening situation if left untreated.
What are parasitic worms?
When we're talking about worms here we don't mean the kind in your yard and we also aren't including heartworm and ringworm. The type that usually leads to vomiting and diarrhea are intestinal parasites, meaning they're living in your pup's gut. There are a bunch of different worms in dogs out there but the most common in dogs are hookworm, whipworm, tapeworm, and roundworm. Each can have slightly varied effects but likely all include problems with your pet's poop.
How do I know if my dog has worms?
Remember vomiting and diarrhea are symptoms of a lot of issues in dogs, everything from eating something they shouldn't have to serious illnesses, like cancer. The best thing to do is call your vet. They will likely have you bring in a stool sample to test for parasites and possibly other conditions -- sometimes our animals catch a tummy bacteria from other dogs that's easy to treat with antibiotics.
Where do they catch worms?
Sadly, some puppies are born with them and that's when they're most fatal, too (particularly hookworms in dogs). In adulthood, your animal might get them from dirt, poop, a rodent, fleas, or another infected pet. It's best to test your pet before bringing them home or make sure the adoption agency or breeder has thoroughly ruled out worms in dog poop. Even then, you might include a fecal examination as part of a routine screening during their first checkup.
How do I go about identifying dog worms?
Some worms are easy to spot with the human eye, and if you notice something in Fido's poop, you should keep it for later and bring it to the vet. Otherwise, you won't always necessarily see the worms, but you'll notice the effects clearly. When you bring in a stool sample, the tests will determine the type of worm, which also can influence treatment.
How do I treat dog worms?
The best way to take care of worms is with preventatives. Check your heartworm or flea medicine to see if they already contain the right chemicals to keep them at bay. That way, the parasites never have a chance to take root inside your beastie at all. However, once the bugs set in, you might need an additional dewormer to get them out. Your vet will prescribe this, possibly over the course of many months.

We say this a lot, but the best defense is a good offense when it comes to worms in dogs. If you're already paying for preventatives, you can look around and see which ones kill the most worms. One note, cats and dogs sometimes do share parasites if they live in the same household. If you find that your pup has caught one of these, you'll need to look at your other pets, too.
