The Pelay Dog Ball is a great toy for dogs of all ages and sizes. We purchased ours for Christmas for Castor and Pollux over two years ago, on Amazon, and they’re still going strong! When we purchased them, they came as a two-pack for only $10.29. I’ve never heard of the Pelay brand toys […] The post Pelay Dog Ball Review appeared first on Castor and Pollux JRT ..read more

Until we can teach dogs how to pick up their own waste, it’s a job we as pet parents still have to do; or until yard Roombas become a thing. Not to worry though, gone are the days of picking up dog waste with a rake or spade and a tiny bin. The Dogit Jawz […] The post Dogit Jawz Waste Scoop, Dog Pooper Scooper Review appeared first on Castor and Pollux JRT ..read more

Winter is typically not a season in which one would worry about their dogs getting any type of fleas, ticks, or mosquitoes, right? Surprisingly after a recent vet visit we learned that fleas and ticks can survive in weather above 40 degrees Fahrenheit! It’s been a pretty warm winter in Colorado lately and luck favors […] The post Richard’s Organics Flea & Tick Shampoo Review appeared first on Castor and Pollux JRT ..read more

Due to Pollux’s little run-in with near-death (see the Leptospirosis article), we now have to feed him a new low-protein diet to help his weakened kidneys perform better. Castor is on the diet too just for simplicity’s sake; and they often like to eat each other’s food. This is our Tylee’s Frozen Dog Food Review.

It’s the annual False Spring time in Colorado where everyone takes advantage of this warm weather to venture outside before we get slammed with more snow. With that said, we finally got a warm sunny weekend to come out of hibernation and play in nature. And of course this beautiful weekend happens to fall on […] The post Red Rocks Amphitheater Adventure appeared first on Castor and Pollux JRT ..read more

Who doesn’t love the beach, right? Well, I imagine there are a few of you, but overall the beach is a fun and relaxing destination for most of us. Even for our canine companions. This has to be one of the things I miss most about living in the Bay.

Stanford University is located in the Bay Area, California nestled between the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. It is known as one of the great schools of the west, but it also holds a few hidden gems on campus that anyone can enjoy. My favorite of those is Stanford’s Arizona Cactus Garden.

So, if Fido is chronologically 3 years old, he is actually 21 years old in dog years. As it turns out this […] The post What are Dog Years? appeared first on Castor and Pollux JRT ..read more

We may have alluded to the fact in some of our earlier articles, but essentially, Pollux is our problem child. Even though he is the sweetest pup, he is just a magnet for trouble. In the short six years he’s been on this planet, he has experienced: a foxtail working its way through his face, […] The post KONG Cloud Collar for Dogs & Cats appeared first on Castor and Pollux JRT ..read more
