I Want A Doggie Cam – End Of Discussion

Posted by on Sep 25, 2007 | 4 Comments

Considering the fact that my dog’s dry skin has caused me to turn her into a flotation device, I cannot help but feel like there might be a bigger picture here. Hey, she’s already being made to wear ridiculous contraptions, I would be willing to kick it up a notch, even for a just a day. Now in all seriousness, I would never put my little Boston Terrier through any more silliness unless this type of camera could send me SMS messages when she was scratching behind her ear, which is what landed her into her new gig as a life raft in the first place.

Even better would be to have the same cam, with SMS ability and a little speaker to tell her to ‘stop it’ when she is scratching too much. Toss in a milk-bone dispenser and we could be onto something for QVC? Am I wrong? Perhaps it is better if we do not know what our pets are doing all day? You likely have a dog or cat, share your thoughts – are some things better left a mystery in our pet’s day?

    Matt;
    Your poor guy looks like his halo slipped :) :)
    I work for a distributer of an all Super Premium all natural pet food. Chances are that your pups scratching & itching is caused by the food your now feeding him.
    Most all store brands contain CORN, WHEAT, SOY or other FILLERS (Check the ingredient label on the back of the bag). These ingredients are of VERY little nutrimental value to your pet & usually cause all types of allergies, such as those that you’ve described. Those ingredients, in a lot of cases are being imported from Asian Countries & a lot of those ingredients are also suspect as to quality & safety issues.
    With the exception of some Lamb, which comes from New Zealand, all of our ingredients are from the USA and are all hormone free.
    A pet food like ours USUALLY cures the itching problem within weeks & your pet is healthier & happier & has a lot more energy.
    Check our web site at http://www.orlandopetfood.com or you can call me directly at 386.473.3117 for more info on our products. Should you decide to become a customer I’m sure we can work out some type of discount program for you.
    Looking forward to hearing from you

    You may get some pictures you don’t want to have. :) So, what are you feeding your dog. Look at the label and if it has wheat or corn in it, change foods to one that doesn’t. Dogs can have food allergies to it, which causes dry skin. Also, go to the store and get some Omega 3′s and poke a hole in it and put it on her food.

    Fantastic idea, Matt!

    Seeing the world through our dogs’ eyes would be an eye-opener, indeed. I’ll bet that someone has rigged up a little wireless cam … and just in case they haven’t, why not waste another hour or so sourcing the parts? :)

    I think you should steer clear of and food which contains corn. That what gets my dog in trouble, also, don’t feed it people food, no matter how hard it begs.
    You might try Oatmeal Shampoo. Works for me. On rubbed raw spots put a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, if its bitting it’ll stop, in any case it’ll help the wound to heal.
