items As a family with two dogs, soon to be three, I’ve done a lot of research to see what best fits our dogs. With an Australian Shepard, Golden Retriever, and soon a Cavapoo they each require different products. Whether it’s grooming, toys, training, edu...

Grooming
Our dogs have different types of fur and what works for our Aussie doesn’t always work for our Golden Retriever. I’ve done extensive research and we went through many trials and errors. Please remember that while these work for my dogs they might not...
My Aussie’s fur can tangle and mat if he’s not brushed 3-5 times a week. A slicker brush helps detangle his fur and smooth it all out.
Slicker Brush
I’ve been through so many bottles of this detangler. I use it every time I brush my dogs.
Probiotic Detangler
This was recommended to me by our dog groomer for fluffing up pet fur.
DOG GROOMING COMBS (Free Shipping)
My dogs are most comfortable with this nail drill mainly due to the volume of the motor. It’s very quiet. I like that it collects nail dust and that they aren’t scared or anxious with it.
Dog Nail Trimmers
Dental
Favorite products to combat tar, plaque, and doggy bad breath.
We use these treats to freshen up each of our dogs breath. They are NOT a substitute for brushing.
Whimzees
This doggy toothpaste works great for my dogs. At first we had to get them used to the brushing but now it’s extremely easy, leaves their teeth nice and clean, and their teeth get glowing reviews from the vet.
Dog Enzymatic Toothpaste
Toys
In my house we go through toys pretty quickly. We have a large quantity of “tough toys” and a mix of soft stuffed toys for our dogs for a variety. Not all toys are the same for durability, manufacturing, or for a dog’s preference.
A MUST for new puppies and anxious dogs. I’ve used this for both dogs I have. It helped them sleep easier at night, calms their nerves, and gives them comfort. It helps for seamless transitions.
Snuggle Puppy
Great for heavy chewing and teething. I like to put treats in the hollow center so that when my dogs play with the toy little treats come out.

Accessories
An accurate depiction of how many accessories we have for our pups. Pretty sure their closet might be bigger than mine!
We prefer harnesses over collars (but we do use both and interchange if needed) and this is our favorite harness to use. The poop bag dispenser is so convenient for walks! We even use the little pocket to hold a spare poop bag roll.
KONG® Reflective Waste Bag Dog Harness
Kennels/Dog Houses/Playpens
All dogs deserve to have a safe space where they can decompress when overwhelmed, relax, or hide when they’re scared. I always want to provide a space that is strictly for my dogs so they are comfortable. Included in this is everything I’ve tried and...
Used these for both my dogs. Always recommend having a crate for your dog as it gives them a safe space. To make it more cozy we’ve added crate mats, crate covers, and a snuggle puppy. We have recently upgraded from these but I love how durable these...
Top Paw® Double Door Folding Wire Dog Crate with Divider Panel
I use crate covers to customize my dogs space. It creates a dark space for them and gives the feeling of having their own room. We chose to personalize the cover with their name.
