As mentioned here in the past, I'm not really a "pet person." Sure, I love other peoples' pets, and they tend to love me, but as far as owning a furry friend, I don't have the time, and I'm never at home. So rather than buying a pet that I will not pay enough attention to, I have fish (who tend not to care about how much attention I pay them as long as they get fed) and keep my pet gazing to friends' pets and the internet. That's in part how I became so fascinated by In the Company of Dogs.

What sets this site apart from other pet sites I have seen is that they only focus on dogs, so everything is catered completely to dogs and their owners. Products range from health needs to dog coats and booties, dog owner apparel, and a whole array of home accessories. Best of all, they're all modeled by dogs. Plus, with 6% Cash Back, they offer one of the highest rebates of pet merchants on Ebates. So if you're in the company of dogs, check out In the Company of Dogs here at Ebates!

Whether you're the proud owner of a fish, ferret, or furry feline, shop Drs. Foster & Smith for 6% Cash Back on all your pet needs. Summertime brings beautiful weather, but not-so-beautiful health problems for your loved ones. Prevention is always the best medicine, which is why you'll find the lowest prices on name brands like Frontline and Heartguard. No need for Drs. Foster & Smith coupons, as part of their commitment to your satisfaction, you'll enjoy free shipping on all prescriptions, and find amazing deals on thousands of other products.

Truly a one-stop shop for pets, this user friendly site allows you to shop for a wide variety of animals, and has a generous sale section for each. Aside from cash back at Drs.Foster & Smith, you'll love finding amazing deals like dog toys starting at $2.99, and bird cages starting at $17.99. Between steep discounts and huge sales, there's no reason to shop those other more costly pet sites.

At this point in time, most of you have seen the wondrous vacuuming robot called Roomba; whether you have one, know someone who does, or just have seen this video:  While they are a fun-filled means of kitten transportation, I find that they really are at their most effective when performing the duty they were constructed to do: cleaning floors. 

Today only, you don't need the luck of the Irish to save some serious coin. You can save a ton on a new Roomba to sweep your floors (with or without a feline pilot): buy a Roomba Scheduler at $50 off the regular price, you'll get a free Pet Upgrade Kit (a $30 value), and you'll get it all shipped for free! Act quickly - this great deal only lasts through St. Patrick's Day, so before you make your way down to the pub, head over to Ebates to take advantage of this great deal and earn 3% cash back while you're at it.

Find any number of robots to do your bidding at the iRobot store.

If you’ve known me for five minutes, you probably have heard me mention the love of my life, Stephen. Stephen is the most amazing English bulldog that has ever graced the earth. He is pictured at left, if you wanted a point of reference. Look at his kissable jowls. I realize that I sound like a kooky animal lover who rolls her dog around in a stroller and spoils him with lavish gifts, imposing human qualities and emotions on the poor animal who will never live up to the human’s expectations. However, that is not true. Yes, Stephen is remarkably human-like and easy to talk to, but no, I do not spoil him with lavish gifts. So when I discovered the Ebates Daily Double for today is at PetSmart, giving an amazing 8% Cash Back, I got very excited; mainly because Stephen is turning one year old on Saturday, and I have been meaning to get him a gift. I love this Flexa Foam Bill Bull chew toy (just $5.99), probably because it bears a slight resemblance to Stephen, especially when he is sitting. So, pet lovers, do some shopping at PetSmart and earn double the Cash Back!

Here in the Bay Area, it's been foggier than a London sauna- without the heat. With fall fast approaching, it's time for dog owners to cover their pups and protect them from the crisp autumn weather.

The ASPCA says if your dog is a short-haired breed, "Consider getting him a coat or sweater with a high collar or turtleneck with coverage from the base of the tail to the belly. For many dogs, this is regulation winter wear."

I've got mixed feelings about this. There's something slightly annoying about a bichon frise in a dickey, but if it's necessary to keep them warm and protected, then I guess you've gotta do it! Do any of you dog owners dress up your dogs for the winter? Holidays? Bar mitzvahs?

If you're ready to buy some doggie duds, Ebates has a variety of pet stores to pick from! Even if your dog is much too proud to wear pink stripes (like the dog pictured here...and no, that's not Mr. Winkle), Petco has more functional-looking options for the athletic pooch.

According to Wikipedia, "'Flea season' is traditionally at the end of summer and in the early fall, but in warmer areas can last year  round." For anyone that has a carpet or knotty old wood floor, you know  how futile this battle can be! They lay their eggs in the carpet, bite  you when you're sleeping and drive your cat or dog into violent  scratching fits that make their legs go like this for hours! The little blood-suckers are more stubborn than Mariah Carey's backstage demands. There are myriad ways to keep your cat or dog flea and tick free, but how do you know which way is safest?

The East Bay SPCA says that "flea collars, powders and sprays are ineffective and are not recommended. DO NOT use anymedication or flea-killing agent not recommended by your veterinarian". In fact, on the insistence of the Environmental Protection Agency,  Hartz, a popular brand for flea and tick preventives, "has agreed to  cancel uses of several flea and tick products that may be associated  with a range of adverse reactions, including hair loss, salivation,  tremors, and numerous deaths in cats and kittens." It's comforting to  know that the EPA has steppedup on this issue. Hopefully Hartz will be able to develop non-toxic alternatives to their current line of flea and tick control products.

The widely reputed safe alternative to flea collars and drops is Advantage topical solution. Highly effective and veterinarian-recommended,  Advantage has become one of the most popular methods offlea control for  dogs and cats. The East Bay SPCA supports it, saying "Advantage works  best for fleas". This kind of effectiveness, however, doesn't come  cheap. If you buy Advantage from your veterinarian, you can end up  paying hundreds of dollars for a several-month supply (especially if  you have multiple cats or dogs)!

If you haven't visited the Pet Stores page at Ebates, take a moment to peruse the deals!
