Recommendations from the dog-child
28
items Here are recommendations for your dog-child from Toby, my dog who passed away from osteosarcoma. We treat our pets like children! These recommendations are how I spoiled Toby. I'm sure you do the same, our pets are family!
These are the BEST CBD treats I gave Toby. These came is especially helpful when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. They really help his pain. You can get treats, tinctures, peanut butter, etc.
Suzies CBD Treats
These things really work. A bit costly, but worth it. I would sprinkle it into Toby's dog food on the days he would not have a dog walker. It chills him out.
Pro Plan Calming Care
This one one is both for you and your dog-child! I would put this Toby's paws to keep them soft. Put it in their bath water to help with shedding, hotspots, and allergies. I also used it myself for moisturizing after shower and the uses are endless!
#1 Vet-Recommended Organic Coconut Oil For Pets | CocoTherapy®
I started Toby on Dasuquin after I THOUGHT he had joint issues. But my vet relayed she started her dog on the supplement while he was a puppy as a preventative measure. She relayed the off the shelf versions aren't as good as this. She actually ga...
NUTRAMAX Dasuquin Hip & Joint Soft Chews ...
I can't think of any dog that wouldn't LOVE receiving a Bark Box! I actually had to pause it several times because he had so many toys. Even dogs have their favorite toys.
BarkBox
So yes, my dog-child was spoiled. Whose isn't. He also loved this food topper that could be served as a treat or crumbled over his meal.
STELLA & CHEWY'S Hip & Joint Boost ...
This is what I would give Toby to give him relief from diarrhea. You just sprinkle it over their food and walah!
Purina Pro Plan FortiFlora Dog Probiotic ...
There was a period of time I was trying to figure out what Toby was allergic to. He had a few hot spots on his feet. I used this ointment to relieve his itchiness and regrow the hair. It has several uses.
Pierce's All Purpose Nu-Stock Ointment for Animals
This is the 'aspirin' I would give Toby for additional pain relief. I like that it contains Arnica and is plant based.
T-Relief Arnica +12 Homeopathic Medicine ...
Toby was such a good dog! I would use this to trim his nails. He would sit quietly (unless I knicked his quick) while I trimmed all four paws. He knew he would get a treat after. You'll need to ease your dog in, but once they're used to it, and k...
Cordless Dog & Cat Rotary Nail Grinder ...
There was a time when my partner's dog was chewing on my door lock lever. His nails were also digging into the leather on my door panel. So, these door protectors were clutch!!! Find the right size for your vehicle and you'll be good to go!
PET Vehicle Door Protector
Toby LOVED his hoodies and this was his favorite. It's got a fleece-like lining that kept him comfortable.
Blanket Dog Hoodie - Pastel Icing
After Toby was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, I started giving him better foods. I had always fed him grain free foods topped with green beans, carrots or peas. I would not give him table food, and would often give him chicken & rice, but I wish ...
Great Range, 90%/10% Ground Bison Brick, 1 lb
This also came in handy. I would put this in Toby's food whenever he returned from staying with a dog-sitter. They may have fed him things he wasn't used to (but he'll eat anything). It would help his stomach get back on track.
Native Pet Probiotic for Dogs - Vet Created Probiotic Powder for Digestive Issues
In Toby's adult years his teeth needed cleaning. I wasn't as diligent with brushing his teeth as I should have been. I wasn't too keen on the idea of putting him under anesthesia to have his teeth professionally cleaned. So I tried this and, to my...
PETLAB CO. ProBright Dog Dental Powder
If your dog gobbles down their food like Toby would, do them a favor and get them a slow feeder. It gives their food time to digest and also serves as an interactive today of sorts.
Non-Skid Plastic Slow Feeder Interactive ...
If you have a larger SUV, THIS is the BEST car seat cover for your dog. As the title implies, it's more of an extender. The bottom is hard(ish) so it gave Toby more room back there. I originally bought one I had always used, but he seemed cramped....
Back Seat Extender for Dogs - Hard Bottom
For those times I had to travel for work or couldn't take Toby with me, I used Rover. It's like Airbnb for dogs. I found some really great sitters on Rover and usually stuck to the same 2 or 3 once he was comfortable. You can check their ratings &...

When I moved from a house that was fully carpeted to a home with hardwood floors, I realized how much Toby shed!! Doh! This vacuum was clutch! I would brush him regularly to get the undercoat. It took some time for him to become comfortable with it ...
Low-Noise Dog Hair Vacuum & Grooming Kit ...
When I'd take Toby for a run I'd use the hands free leash. Well, actually, I would use this for all of our walks, runs, hikes, etc. I taught him not to pull by using a choke chain for a few weeks (after he pulled me into a ditch chasing a rabbit) a...
Hands Free Dog Leash for Dog Walking Running Jogging, for Medium Large Dogs
When Toby was diagnosed with cancer I started giving him medication for pain. He'll eat pretty much anything, but these pills were a daily thing. So I found this and it's GREAT! You just grab a pinch from the container and wrap it around the pill....
RILEY'S Delicious Peanut Butter & Probiotic Pill Wrap Dog ...
Toby's osteosarcoma was in his front leg. As it progressed it became harder to walk, climb stairs, etc. This harness was a game changer and was WAY cheaper than another name brand. You can unclip the back part from the front, which is what I did a...
Breathable Dog Lift Harness for Large Hind Leg
I also used this brace to give Toby more support on his leg/shoulder. It took him some time to get used to it and I had to find the sweet spot regarding how tight I pulled it in. But he got used to it.
Recovery Sleeve for Dogs
If you have a dog that sheds a lot, THIS is the shampoo you need. It was recommended by my peer (K9 handler) and it does what it promises! Get this and the conditioner and you'll notice less hair throughout your house!

Use this along with the shampoo and I PROMISE you will see less dog hair throughout your house! It works!
FURminator® deShedding Ultra Premium Dog Conditioner
This is a great quick freshner. When Toby was smelling like outside I'd spray him with this. It's also cooling. He actually enjoyed it.
Arm & Hammer Pets Ultra Fresh Waterless Bath
There was a short period of time when Toby was showing signs of incontinence. It would come and go. So, I purchased these belly bands. I also purchased the extender so it would be tight on him. I suppose you could also use these to potty train a ...
Pet Parents®, Belly Band
When I moved, Toby was anxious about our new home. Especially when I left him to go to work. This worked wonders to calm him.
