items Dogs are like kids- they need stuff! And you want to get good stuff. Here’s a list of some of my favorite essentials as a pet parent and a professional dog walker.
So many fun collars to choose from! Pick one you love that fits your dog- just make sure the d-ring is big enough for tags and a leash. I prefer the collars that have two rings on them and a little extra padding.
Dog & Puppy Collars: Ex Small to Large Dogs, Low Price (Free Shipping)
It’s not letting me make this link specific, but DO NOT get a retractable leash! I like a 6’ leash that’s not stretchy and a regular clip on the end for easy use. I’m a dog walker and use a lot of leashes- there are so many fun patterns and colors to...
Dog Leashes: Retractable, Training & More (Free Shipping)
Dog poop bags are essential when you own a dog. I prefer the biodegradable bags, but they all seem to work equally well. My top tip?? Just don’t drop the roll of poop bags after you’ve broken the seal- regardless of the brand, they’ll unravel like a ...
Dog Poop Bags: Best Brands, Low Prices (Free Shipping)
Get one of these leash attachments so you don’t have to put poopy bags in your pockets or carry them for the whole walk. I LOVE these! I recommend the ones that look more like a key than the wooden ones.
Used Poop Bag Holder
This bowl is perfect for dogs that eat their food in two seconds (labs, goldens, etc). Not only does it keep dogs from eating too quickly, but it provides some entertainment and enrichment during meal times too! The rubber bottom keeps the bowl from ...
Outward Hound Non-Skid Plastic Slow Feeder Interactive Dog Bowl, Teal, 2-cup
We love this travel water bottle for dogs! Leak proof and easy for our dog to drink out of. I love that the bowl is attached so I won’t lose it. Perfect for walks, hikes, or just being out and about.
LESOTC Foldable Travel Dog Water Bottle, 34-oz
These are my favorite harnesses if you have a dog that tends to pull. If they pull, they just get spun back toward the person walking. Every dog I have trained has learned to walk on a loose leash faster with these harnesses. LOVE them!
PETSAFE Easy Walk Dog Harness, Purple/Black, Small/Medium
We use the classic muzzle for our golden. He is very scared at the vet and the basket muzzle allows him to lick peanut butter while he gets all checked out, instead of trying to eat the vet. It helps everyone feel safe- including my dog.

This de-matting comb has saved me from having to clip my golden’s feathers and under his ears. He has fine fur that gets easily matted if it gets wet. I can use this comb to painlessly split the mats and keep them from hurting his skin.
SAFARI De-Matting Dog Comb
I trim nails for my own dog, my guinea pigs, my birds, and other people’s animals too. These are simple, easy to use, and they have a guard so you won’t trim too far. Using clipper that are over complicated or noisy can the animal anxious- these are ...
Safari Professional Nail Trimmer for Dogs, Medium/Large
My golden is often filthy. He runs, plays, and gets himself coated in who knows what. This shampoo gets it all off and leaves him clean and fresh.

I highly recommend this conditioner as a pair to the nasty critter shampoo. My golden boy has a lot of long fur and this keeps everything from getting tangled. He’s happy for no knots. I’m happy with a happy, clean dog.
