Airing 6/29 on ABC San Diego. Part 1!
1. Bestway - $250 and up
Summer doesn't get better than your own backyard pool, and Bestway makes it easier than ever to set one up. Their above ground pools come in a variety of sizes to fit any space, feature reinforced lining built to last, and include everything you need for assembly right in the box. Whether you're hosting a 4th of July bash or just looking for a way to keep the family cool all season long, Bestway delivers. Prices start at $250 and are available at BestwayUSA.com, Amazon, and select retailers nationwide.
2. Swimways’ Rainbow Reef collection
Meet Finn Diesel — the newest (and fastest) member of SwimWays' Rainbow Reef collection. This water-activated toy swims on its own in every direction, above and below the surface, with natural movement patterns that make pool time feel like an underwater adventure. It's great for building water confidence and swim skills, and compact enough to take anywhere this summer. Available at Amazon, Target, and select retailers. Check out the full Rainbow Reef crew at swimways.com.
3. Zesty Paws
The 4th of July is a blast for us — but fireworks, parties, and travel can be seriously stressful for our pets. Zesty Paws has two must-haves to help. Their Calming Cat Diffuser Starter Kit uses veterinarian-formulated pheromones and patent-pending nebulizer technology to cover up to 1,000 sq ft — no heat, no drugs, no wall damage. For pups, their Calming Plus Bites feature Suntheanine and Ashwagandha to help dogs of all ages stay relaxed through storms, fireworks, car rides, and more — and they're now available at Costco! Shop at zestypaws.com.
4. Solid Gold
Founded in San Diego in the 1970s by one of the pet industry's first female CEOs, Sissy McGill, Solid Gold has always been ahead of its time when it comes to holistic pet nutrition. Their Beef Bone Broth is a slow-simmered, human-grade topper loaded with superfoods and collagen to support skin, coat, and joints — and it's a total game-changer for picky eaters. Pour it over dry food or freeze it into treats for an easy hydration boost your dog will go crazy for. Shop at solidgoldpet.com.
