PetKnows Super Bowl Ad Round Up

February 2nd, 2009 · No Comments

November 24th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I had heard a lot of talk about the FURminator but always chalked it up to hype. Mosby sheds more than just about any dog that I have ever met…it’s like he has at least 5 undercoats, each a different color so that everything in my house is continually covered in dog hair. [...]
