It's We Heart Pets time over at Craft: blog, and there are a ton of fantastic projects being posted and pointed to, so I'm rounding up my favorites of those, plus projects from pet month on CraftStylish awhile back, and other cool projects from around the web.  (On a side note, my kitty Garbanzo got a Craft post!)  One project I'm excited to try is Jessica Wilson's Homemade Flea Repellent:

If I lived in a house with a big, blank wall I would definitely build Julia Szabo's amazing Catnip Castle for Banzo!



This Cat Food Wrapper Pet Collar, designed by Vickie Howell, is so clever!

If you want to make a treat that you can share with your dog, try Wendy Tremayne and Mikey Sklar's recipe for Homemade Treats for Pups (and Persons)!

And that leaves us with a couple of Threadbanger links!  About a year ago, Meg did a Decor It Yourself episode on making a Retro Pet Bed, and then I did a roundup here on pet beds (which is why I didn't include more beds in this roundup), so be sure to check those out!  If you live in a spot that's been going through an intense heat wave (like Portland, Oregon, where I am), I hope your pets are doing okay in the heat!!
