I thought I'd start to add on here items that I have used and love for dogs that I work with, dogs that I foster and my own dogs. As each and every dog is different but hopefully some of these items might be of interest as we go along.
As some of you know, my car was stolen on Friday and a couple of these items were in the boot, where the dogs go. So it just reminded me how much I like these things and now I need to replace them. So somewhere these items have been dumped or there is a lucky dog enjoying it all!
The first one is the Tuffies dog bed. It took me a number of years before agreeing that Tuffie's are best and getting one. I always wanted something that looked pretty but eventually all the beds have died a death and the Tuffie one stands the test of time. It is waterproof so you never need to wash the inside and as a result it doesn't go lumpy and bumpy but best of all you don't get that dog smell. I had one of the large ones in the boot of my car and when I bought it in the house I just covered with clean blankets to make it cosier (and prettier!). If you have a doglet that loves comfort & cosiness but is a proper dog (dirty, smelly and loves water) then this is a great addition to your home.
Plus an example of my dirty, smelly, wet dog that loves a bit of comfort!
The second item is something that every single car needs - the Road Refresher dog bowl. It miracously keeps the water in the bowl so that your dog always has access to it when you are travelling. What I love most though is that on the hot days we had I placed a frozen cold pack under it to keep the water chilly. Its a good investment for anyone that takes their dogs out and about in the car.
I know that everyone rants about Kongs (the one that you stuff with food) but I personally have one that I much prefer as a problem solving, food dispensing toy. It's the Planet Dog Orbee Tuff toy - Cookie Dog loves this toy and amazingly Mr Happy Henry hasn't destroyed it because it isn't as sturdy as the Kong ones. However it is more flexible and it acts like a great item for big breeds to retrieve. Plus it comes in pretty colours!!
I plan to keep adding to this list as there are loads of products I've tried, chucked, kept, hated, loved and if I can save you some cash, hooray! There are links to be able to buy the items so check them out and see what you think. Let me know..
