Blu the Clumsy labrador Favourites
17
items Everything here is something I’ve actually bought and used with Blu. I don’t sugar‑coat anything — you’ll get the good, the bad, and the bits where Blu makes me question my life choices. If it’s on this list, it’s because it survived real‑life Labrad...

Bowls & Feeding
All Blu’s feeding bits — bowls, travel bowls, slow feeders and anything that keeps him happy at mealtimes.
If there’s one thing Blu and I are experts in, it’s stepping directly into his water bowl like it’s some kind of surprise foot spa. First time in the van, I went straight in — socks soaked, dignity gone, water everywhere. Blu does it too, so at least...
Non Spill Dog Bowls
Blu eats Natures Menu freeze‑dried food because he’s a fussy Labrador — which, frankly, feels illegal. Labradors are supposed to inhale anything that even vaguely resembles food, yet here we are with Mr. Gourmet. His food comes in a bag, but the smel...
My Pet Storage Container
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blu’s Official Review of Natures Menu Nuggets If Blu could type, this would be his five‑star review — but since he’s too busy judging other foods, I’ll do it for him. I’ve got a Labrador who is supposed to eat anything. Supposed to. Blu, howeve...
Natures Menu Freeze Dried Dog Food Turkey 625g
These come as a mix of big and small nuggets, which sounds great in theory… unless you live with Blu. He will only eat the big ones. Every single time. He picks out the large nuggets like he’s selecting chocolates from a fancy box, then walks away in...
Natures Menu Boost Nuggets – Mixed Sizes
Beds & Comfort
His favourite beds, blankets and cosy things that make Wendy feel like home.
A nice big bed for blu to snuggle down to, but A lovely big, squishy bed for Blu to snuggle into… in theory. In reality, 9 times out of 10 he’s in my bed, taking up more space than any living creature should. He’s a big lump and he doesn’t lie down l...
Comfy Dog Bed for Labradors
I learned very quickly that if you own a Labrador — especially one like Blu, who sheds enough hair to knit a second dog — you need these blankets. Between the British weather, muddy paws, and him trotting in and out like he pays the mortgage, my sofa...
Fluffy Dog Blanket AKA throws for my motorhome
Toys & Enrichment
All the toys Blu actually plays with — from chew toys to boredom busters.
These spikey rubber balls are the only toys Blu can’t immediately destroy. I don’t know what kind of industrial‑strength jaw he was born with, but every other ball lasts about 4 minutes before it becomes “modern art.” These ones? They survive. Miracl...
Toy Balls For Dogs
Leads, Collars & Harnesses
Everything I use for walks, adventures and keeping Blu safe on the road.
I get these themed collars for Blu because, frankly, he deserves to look fabulous — and also because I have a massive stair basket overflowing with hundreds of leads and collars. It’s like a dog‑walking wardrobe explosion. Every time I open it, I hal...
Themed Dog Collars & Leads – Tagged "Pawprint"
I’ve got this anti‑shock seat belt in the van — in blue, obviously, because Blu has to match the interior like he’s some sort of canine design consultant. I use this one because it gives him a bit more room to shuffle about without launching himself ...
Anti-Shock Dog Seat Belt with Bungee & Reflective Strap
I wanted the longest lead I could get because Blu’s recall is still a work in progress — and by “work in progress,” I mean he listens beautifully until there’s something more interesting, like a leaf. Last October I took him to the Canine Academy in ...
Medium Dogs up to 25Kg fully rectractable
You’ll see this in loads of my videos because Blu is almost always clipped to it — usually the bright fluorescent orange one, because if I’m going to lose something, it won’t be this. I stick it in the ground, clip him on, and he gets to roam around ...
Dog Tie‑Out Ground Spike – Camping & Van Life
Retractable Lead – Same Genius, Different Colour Yes, it’s the same 8‑metre retractable lead… just in another colour, because apparently I like to coordinate my panic‑management tools. After doing a full week at the Canine Academy in Leeds last Octob...
Fida 9m/30FT Retractable Dog Lead Cord,
Grooming & Cleaning
Brushes, wipes, shampoos and all the bits that keep Blu clean(ish) after muddy adventures.
When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go — and Blu takes that motto very seriously. These are my favourite poo bags because they’re big enough to cover my entire hand, wrist, and half my arm if needed. I’m not out here trying to play “guess the temperat...
Dog Poo Bags – Extra Strong
Dog Treats
This is a little dog treat board I put together for Blu, and honestly it’s the cutest thing ever. It’s like a mini grazing board but for dogs — filled with safe treats, little biscuits, chews, and fun shapes so they feel properly included. It’s perfe...
These are Blu’s little Easter treats — proper dog‑safe choc drops so he can join in without me panicking about real chocolate. They’re tiny, cute, and perfect for popping in your pocket on walks (as long as you remember they’re there and don’t sit on...
Easter Choc Drops for Dogs
This is the treat bundle I use for Blu and it’s honestly such a good mix. You get little sausage bites, toastie‑style treats, and loads of small training pieces that are perfect for walks or popping into a treat board. Blu goes absolutely mad for the...
Dog Treat Bundle – Sausage, Toastie & Training
These are Blu’s crunchy peanut butter biscuits and he absolutely loves them. They’re the perfect size for a quick treat, a reward on walks, or adding a bit of crunch to a dog treat board. They smell amazing (for dog treats), they don’t crumble into d...
Dog Biscuits – Crunchy Little Bones
This is another little treat pack Blu loves — a mix of chewy pieces, meaty bites, and crunchy treats that keep him busy and happy. It’s one of those bags where he somehow knows the sound of it and comes running before I’ve even opened it. They’re gre...
