Rachel Ray has recently launched a charity-driven line of pet foods from recipes she has created for her pit bull, Isaboo. All of the proceeds from Rachel Ray Nutrish pet foods will go to Rachel’s Rescue, which helps at-risk animals. “It seemed like not a lot if extra time to donate to something that could potentially raise millions of dollars for championing these little creatures that can’t speak for themselves,” Ray said.
A pet food line for cats also is planned in the future.

Dog boots protect a dog’s paws and keep them warm and dry. They can also protect a dog’s tender paw pads from salt and heat and allow easier walking on rougher terrain than your neighborhood sidewalk.
Some dog boots are brightly colored, which provides not only a sporty look but allows for better visibility at night and in early morning hours for safety. There are also a variety of weights, sizes, and styles of dog boots available for different seasons, climates, and dog breeds.
Dog clothing serves many purposes other than just making a dog appear stylish. Warmth is the number one reason for dog outerwear, which provides the insulation he or she needs outdoors or even in a drafty house.
Dog clothing can keep dogs with allergies from scratching, chewing, and licking their itchy skin as well as keeping allergies off the dog’s skin in the first place. Dog clothing also protects people that may be allergic to the dog by decreasing the amount of dander in the air.
Why are more pets traveling?
Airlines and hotels are making it easier and, we can all agree, they’re members of the family, and we want to take them along.
What are some recent trends?
Aromatherapy can help with nervous pets while traveling. A spray of lavender relaxes both pets and people.
What are some especially pet-friendly destinations?
Los Angeles - there is so much outdoor dining. And New York - you’ll see more and more dogs in the aisles of department stores.
What’s important to pack for your pet?
Shot information, vet’s phone number, and an emergency vet’s number. Remember a chew or treat, a spare leash, and be sure to remember a fashionable jacket for cold weather.
What’s easier - traveling with a dog or a baby?
We find most dogs are much quieter than most babies on a plane, so our vote does with the dog.

Dress your dog in the latest beach fashions.
The Boxer is patient, dignified, and self-assured. They exhibit curiosity, but are wary of strangers. This breed is fearless and courageous if threatened. They are keenly alert and have a heightened sense of hearing, which make them excellent guard dogs. The Boxer adores children and other pets they have been raised with. They have an inordinate need for human companionship and do not like to be alone for extended periods of time. Insufficient attention may lead them into “bad” behavior in an attempt to be noticed.
