Sometimes, your dog isn't just your best friend, it's also your best business partner . Your pooch helps you keep motivated and inspired. (Or distracted and spinning your wheels.) Regardless of your relationship with your pooch, it can benefit from the DNA My Dog Breed Identification Test + DOGTV: Lifetime Subscription Bundle . Valued at $503, it's on sale now for just $147.

Plan for When You’re Not There. Make sure your pets are provided for during those long hours when you’re away. Dr. Becker suggests technological options. “DOGTV has stimulation and relaxation channels, and there are apps that control contraptions that talk to your pet, or dispense treats. Pheromone sprays can also reduce anxiety, creating that kumbaya atmosphere.” And, of course, daycare and dog walkers are a great way to enrich your pet’s day. “Know someone who wants exercise? Maybe they’ll walk your dog.”

DOGTV

This two-part deal combines two of the top pet deals in the Entrepreneur Store. First, you'll get a DNA My Dog Breed Identification Test that will help you better understand your dog. An honoree at the 2020 GHP Biotechnology Awards, DNA My Dog is one of the top leaders in ethical canine genetic testing. With this simple, painless swab, you'll get a detailed report breaking down your dog's unique personality traits, DNA composition, breed mix, predisposition to disease, and much more. With all of that information at your disposal, you can offer better training that sticks, keep an eye out for potential health concerns, and much more.

Here’s looking at you. Dogs have three eyelids, an upper lid, a lower lid and the third lid, called a nictitating membrane or “haw,” which helps keep the eye moist and protected.

Then, since you're probably not home all the time to keep your pooch company, you can help them mitigate stress and anxiety with a lifetime subscription to DOGTV. This 24/7 channel is jam-packed with programs scientifically developed to provide the right company for dogs when they're alone. The world's top pet experts contributed years of research to special content development that meets specific attributes of a dog's sense of vision and hearing so they'll become fully immersed in the channel and will barely even know you're not there. The long term benefits? You'll have a happier, healthier dog who is less likely to develop separation anxiety.

Socialize your pet. Meeting new people and other pets improves the confidence of your pet. Plus, having extra playmates will help relieve some of your pet’s built-up energy.

Become a better friend to your dog. Sold separately, these two deals would cost over $500, but you can get them together in the DNA My Dog Breed Identification Test + DOGTV: Lifetime Subscription Bundle for 70 percent off at just $147.
