While most people are aware of the human benefits of drinking enough water each day, many likely overlook the intake needs of their pets. Water is an essential element for both humans and pets alike, yet getting enough H2O can be challenging especially for our furry friends that prefer free-falling water to stagnant water in a traditional feeding bowl. As a caring pet owner, there is a solution to better ensure the proper hydration of your pet-it’s Drinkwell The Original Pet Fountain.

Drinkwell The Original Pet Fountain satisfies a pets’ preference for running water and need for proper hydration, while also serving as a convenience product for owners. The easily maintained product holds more than one gallon of water (with the use of an optional reservoir), and best of all keeps pets off of counters and out of sinks and
toilets.

Making sure your dog stays hydrated when you’re on-the-go just got much easier with Veterinary Ventures Inc.’s (VVI) launch of the Drinkwell® Hydro-Go!™ Pet Canteen.

Hanging pictures or anything else on the wall can be a huge pain, especially if you want to hang it in a certain spot. Most people will pull out the stud finder, laser level, hammer, nails, tool belt, ladder and special assistant and still have problems when all is said and done. Even with a high-tech laser it is still quite hard to hang several pictures in a straight line or to place a single picture in an exact location. Most often you pound in a nail and hang the picture only to find out that it is a centimeter too low, or just a hair to the left of where it should be. This leads to removing the picture from the wall and starting over. Often times you will have to try several times before you get the correct position or give up, whichever comes first.
