There’s a reason why dogs earned the nickname “man’s best friend.” Their unconditional companionship endures through good times and bad.

DogTV is a truly modern solution to this problem, backed by science and customer reviews. A lifetime subscription to DogTV — which serves up streaming video specially crafted to keep your canine relaxed and entertained — is currently available for only $149.99 (regularly $838). That’s the best price online!

You no longer need to blow up your bank account in order to improve your personal computer situation. Rather than spending too much money for a brand-new MacBook Pro with all the bells and whistles you’ll likely never use, refurbished Apple laptops deliver the reliable performance you require at an outstanding value.

For a limited time, an 11-inch MacBook Air from 2015 is available for only $247.99 with no coupon required. That’s a fraction of the standard price for a laptop of that quality. That’s nearly 70% savings, but it won’t last long.
