What to Feed Your Pet on PASSOVER (2020 version)
DISCLAIMER AND CREDIT: I am not a halachic authority (nor do I play one on tv). All the lists and guidelines mentioned here came from two excellent halachic sources. I consolidated as much as possible and tried to copy verbatim whenever I could, but please doublecheck with these guides before purchasing any Passover-approved pet food:
These lists are good only for Passover 2020 ONLY. I urge you to consult with your local halachic authority and not to rely on Rabbi Internet for any halachic questions you might have regarding pet food on Pesach.
On Passover/Pesach, according to halacha (Jewish law), a Jewish person may not even "derive benefit" from chametz, which means that while your pets do not need to keep kosher, you may not feed them food containing chametz on Pesach. You many, however feed them food containing kitniyos, such as rice or corn (even though Ashkenazic Jewry has a very strong custom not to eat kitniyos on Passover, but that only applies to people, not dogs).
Per the Star-K, you don't need to buy a new food bowl for your pet on Pesach, but you must wash out your pet's bowl very thoroughly and remove all traces of old food.
The lists below were taken from the two kashrus sources cited above, the CRC and the Star-K. Even when purchasing a brand name mentioned on this list, make sure to check all labels, and if you see an ingredient that gives you pause, call or email a halachic authority. There should be no chometz listed.
FYI, there are very few reasonably-priced dog treats that are kosher for Passover, so here's what we do. (This is for gebrokts-eating homes only.) After a meal with chicken soup and matzoh, when we clear the table, we dump all the leftover soup (make sure there are no bones!) into a plastic disposable bowl and then break up all the leftover matzoh into the leftover soup. The matzoh absorbs the soup. Then we give it in little bits to our dogs as treats. They love it. Awesome frugal treat.

LOWEST PRICE: Evenflo baby gate for $14.99 for Amazon
Amazon has got this Evenflo baby gate in dark wood for $14.99 with free Prime shipping, the lowest recorded Amazon price on this item.
While it got only an average 3.2 stars out of 5 stars, I read the negative reviews and it looks like most of the negativity stems from not knowing how to properly set up the gates. We have two sets of these gates and they are terrific, easy to use, and sturdy, and this is one of the lowest prices I've seen on any baby gates, period.
- Simple to install pressure mount gate
- Locking bar is marked and notched for easy installation
- No tools required
- Non-marring rubber bumpers help prevent damage to your home
- Child - Age: 6-24 mos

TODAY, 12/13/17 ONLY: Wisdom Panel 3.0 Canine Breed Identification DNA Test for $50.99 on Amazon
Today, 12/13/17 only, Amazon has got the Wisdom Panel 3.0 Canine Breed Identification DNA Test for $50.99 with free Prime shipping. It got 4.2 out of 5 stars over 1,524 customer reviews.
If you've adopted a rescue mutt and would like to know about his breed in order to be more predictive about his behavior or potential health issues, this is basically the best test out there for the money.
I've done a little research on this, and while there are a number of doggie DNA tests out there, the Wisdom Panel is the one that seems to give you the best bang for your buck. There are cheaper tests, but in consumer testing, they have not given inconsistent and inaccurate results. There are also far more expensive tests out there that don't offer as much information as Wisdom Panel does.
- Features the largest breed database of any DNA test in the world with more than 250 breeds, types and varieties covered.
- The only officially licensed canine DNA test in the US to offer the potentially life-saving MDR1 drug sensitivity screening at no extra charge.
- This single test allows you to test Mixed Breed, Purebred or Designer Dog breed ancestry back to great-grandparents.
- Pre-paid shipping to the lab and results are ready in only 2-3 weeks after the sample arrives.
- With a simple cheek swab, you can uncover DNA-based insights that may help you understand your dog's unique appearance, behaviors and wellness needs.

PRIME MEMBERS: Save 20% on pet food at Amazon
The order that will be discounted must be “sold by Amazon.com” and must be placed within 180 days of profile creation. This offer is limited to one per customer and account (not household). If you create multiple pet profiles, the offer only applies to your first pet profile, so if you have more than one pet, have your spouse create a profile on his/her account so that you can get this discount twice.
After you create a pet profile, click here to shop for pet food with that 20% discount. Best way to use this discount is to stack a regular online coupon with Subscribe & Save discounts and then the 20% on top of that (max discount will be 20% + 15+% + coupon percentage. I got this 30 lb. bag of Hill's Science Diet Sensitive Stomach & Skin Dog Food for 20% + 15% + 20% = 55% off or $21.03, which comes to 70 cents per lb. of dog food.

Brand new Dyson Small Ball Multifloor Upright Vacuum for $199.98 with free shipping from QVC
We are huge Dyson fans. We own two very loveable and sheddy dogs, and getting a Dyson a few years ago literally changed our standard of cleanliness in the house. It eats up dog hair (and pretty much any other dirt you can think of) like nobody's business and it's completely modular, so if anything gets clogged, you just disassemble that part of the vacuum until you get to the clog, clean it out, and reassemble it. We had been going through a vacuum a year up until we bought our Dyson, and since we bought it, it's been our only vacuum.
This price is amazing...I've seen refurbed Dysons cost more than this.
Description: Be on the ball. Dyson's Small Ball upright vacuum helps you maneuver around furniture, obstacles, and into difficult places while its 19 two-tier Radial Cyclones work to increase airflow and capture fine dust. It's lightweight for easy lifting up stairs, and takes up less storage space than a full-size upright. Empty the bin by pressing a button--and without dirtying your hands. From Dyson.
- Includes Dyson Small Ball upright vacuum, combination tool, and stair tool
- Lightweight for easy lifting
- Self-adjusting cleaner head automatically adjusts between carpeted and hard floors
- Direct-drive motor pushes bristles deeper into carpet
- 19 cyclones arranged across two tiers work in parallel to increase airflow and capture fine dust
- Ball Technology to maneuver easily around furniture, obstacles, and into difficult places
- Single button releases dirt from bin
- Cable, wand, and hose extend to 42'
- Measurements: Vacuum 31-3/4"H x 11"W x 14"D, weighs 12.15 lbs; Cord 31'L
- ETL listed; 5-year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty
- Imported
