What is the most bizarre dog product you've ever come across?

G'day Dog Lovers,

What is the most bizarre product for dogs that you have ever come across?

I've just been reading about specially-made wigs for dogs and it got me thinking about some of the more unusual canine-related products I've seen over the years. I've read about chastity belts, prosthetic testicles and even saucy underwear for incontinent dogs!

What is the strangest or funnies dog product you've ever come across? Did you buy it?

RSPCA Cupcake Day

G'day Dog Lovers,

Grab your mixing bowl, dust off your chef's hat and get ready to bake up a storm for the RSPCDA because Monday August 16, 2010, is Cupcake Day. Last year 350,000 cupcakes were baked around the country and this year the RSPCA is hoping that even more people take part in this yummy fundraiser.

Getting involved in Cupcake Day is deliciously easy. Head to www.rspcacupcakeday.com.au - it's free to register and there are loads of great recipes, tips and party ideas. You can also download "The Ultimate Cupcake Day Guide" for the best Cupcake Day ever!

Last year $1.1 million was raised across Australia and this year the RSPCA is hoping to raise $2.5 million but they need your assistance. "Every year the RSPCA cares for over 155,000 animals and, as we receive less than 2 per cent in government funding, we rely on the community to continue," says RSPCA NSW CEO Steve Coleman.

Help the RSPCA make August 16 the sweetest day of the year. Register now at www.rspcacupcakeday.com.au and help the RSPCA continue their fight against animal cruelty.
