Hurrah, hurrah!
If ants are marching one by one into your dog’s food bowl, consider the Sani-Moat Ant Barrier. The two-piece deterrent acts as a food-bowl platform and a nontoxic barrier, the manufacturer claims. Fill the barrier’s “moat” with nontoxic household products such as dishwashing liquid, cooking oil, water, or petroleum jelly to ward off unwanted pests and avoid throwing out food.

Get the Hang of It
Kennels make traveling with your dog manageable but can be unwieldy. Kennel Carriers handles are a separate kennel-lifting system that make lifting, loading and carrying larger dog kennels easier, the company says. The two handles attach to the kennel, providing a stable lifting system, decreasing your chances of banging walls and car bumpers.
