Leashes, Collars, and Harnesses
These leashes, collars and harnesses are things that I use every single week to help make my walks safer and more enjoyable. A safe walk is a good walk!
I can't rave about these leashes enough! The Pro Series leashes are specifically designed for walking multiple dogs at one time and are made of durable biothane, so there is no tangling and no stress. These heavy-duty leashes also have anti-escape ca...
TinyHorse Mercantile - Best For Walking Multiple Dogs
The TinyHorse Lite series is made of a durable nylon and is customizable to fit your preference. These are great if you want different wear options when you're walking your solo dog.
TinyHorse Infinite Lite - Best for Single Dogs
You can never be too safe when walking with dogs at night. I think it's always a good idea to have some kind of LED light on yourself and on the dogs, just to be extra safe.
Flashseen LED Dog Collar
This long line is my favorite. It's perfect for low traffic areas to give your dog the feeling of being off-leash, while still giving you the security of being connected.
TinyHorse Trainer - Best Long Line
If you and your pup are going on a hike, use this doggy backpack to store some of their supplies. I love these for hiking and store my pet first aid kit inside, along with treats and extra poop bags.
Mountaineer Dog Backpack & Stand-Alone Harness
Paw Protection
Protect your dog's little paws while you're out and about in all weather.
I love these for my smaller clients - they keep their feet off of the hot pavement in the summer and keep their little paw pads from getting burnt.
GOO-EEZ Ultra Dog Boots - For Hot Pavement
Little winter boots for my dog? Yes, please! These are perfect for winter, especially when the roads are super salty. Your dog's feet are sensitive, and these are a great option to keep them safe and comfy.
QUMY Waterproof Shoes Dog Shoes
If your pup will not wear boots, try this paw balm from Dr. Maggie. My own dog just can't with shoes so I always turn to this option instead.
DR. MAGGIE Paw Protector Cat & Dog Paw Balm, 200-g jar
Paw protection balm that helps keep your pups toe beans protected!
Musher's Secret Pet Paw Protection Wax, 200-Gram
Safety
Keep your dog extra safe when you're out and about with these safety-specific recs.
Many of my clients have trackers on their dogs' collars already; however, if they don't I love using something like the Tracktiv tracker, juuuuuuuuuuuuust in case.
Tractive - GPS Tracker for Cats and Dogs
The Alpha LTE tracker by Garmin is definitely a pricier purchase but it is everything you need to track your dog in the outdoors. Perfect for hiking, long camping trips, etc. this LTE tracker is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Alpha® LTE
Dogs need seatbelts too! If you're transporting your dogs in your vehicle and do not use a crate, this is the next best thing. Make sure to use with an approved harness, as opposed to connecting to their collars.
Mighty Paw Dog Seat Belt
Perfect for escape artist dogs, this safety strap acts as an additional point of contact between your dog and their leash. You can connect it between their collar and their harness or as a secondary leash connection.
PetBonus Dog Collar Safety Clip
Apparel
Jackets for your dog, for all weather - rain or snow, these recs have you covered.
It's not always easy to find jackets for larger dogs, but sometimes they need some extra warmth and protection too during the colder months. I love this jacket by Sparkpaws. It's easy to get on and off and my dogs seem to love it too!
WarmShield Water-Resistant Jacket
Keep yourdog dry on rainy days. This is a great rain coat option that comes in a tonne of different sizes.
NACOCO Large Dog Raincoat
Your dog's ears will get cold too! Use this “hat” for your pup to help keep them warm in colder weather!
