Our dog LOVES to play ball!
She's gone through several of these because we play every day, several times a day. They're soft rubber and perfect for any size dog even xs and small!

Bacon Scented Squeak Ball
These balls we use outdoors. They're very hard and don't give when chewed upon which our gal just wasn't too happy about.
But larger dogs with strong jaws will love them!

Dog Tennis Ball
KONG squeak tennis balls for the win!
These particular ones are for extra small breeds but you can easily search around for larger sizes. I like that they're durable yet not so firm that the dog can still chew it.

We give this to our dog to chomp on when we know a stressful time is up and coming. Whether it's separation anxiety or travel blues, her CBD bone helps her cope.
Chillax to the Max™ CBD Bone
We're still working on training our gal to put the ball into the launcher on her own after 2 years! Lol! She just prefers US to put it into the machine but she's MORE THAN HAPPY to go fetch it!
The machine picutured here isn't the exact model we have. Ours is made by iFetch but I saw that is isn't available right now. I think this one will work just as well.

Dog Ball Thrower Launcher for Small/Medium Dogs
You don't have to be a professional or even seriously committed in order to have some backyard fun with your fur baby! Our little gal enjoys playing with us with a kit similar to this one. (the one we have isn't available and I didn't want to put up a broken link for you) Dogs are so smart and catch on so quickly!
Dog Agility Training Equipment
I bring this along on dog walks sometimes and our little gal has such a blast!
Interactive Dog Wand Toy with Squeaky Plush
Grooming
These scissors are helpful when your furry friend needs a trim on its face in between professional grooming. The rounded tip make me feel comfortable trimming around the eyes.
Professional Pet Grooming Scissors
This has come in handy! In between groomer visits, we trim our little fur baby's paws so she doesn't slip on the hard wood and tile floors wherever we go. They're easy to use and do the trick without cutting her sensitive skin and paws.
Cordless Dog Clippers
We don't like using chemicals on our pet so we decided to give this stuff a try. It works! It smells good and it comes in a variety of scents.
Wondercide Flea, Tick & Mosquito Spray
Home Life
We keep a bag holder on our leash so our pup leaves nothing behind, if ya know what I mean. ;o)
Colorful Poop Bags
I had seen these advertised on social media and decided to give them a try. So glad I did!
These mats come in a variety of sizes and beautiful colors to coordinate with your home decor. BUT, the BEST part is how absorbent they are, how well they hold dirt, and they're MACHINE WASHABLE!!! Not cheap rug machine washable where the backing flakes off. REALLY machine washable and maintaining their fluff and their non slip backing! I highly recommend for rain and snowy seasons.

Does your dog chew up EVERYTHING?
Good golly! our little puppy used to do that so we had to find her a bed that was durable. This one has done the trick AND it's machine washable. It comes disassembled but only took me about 10 minutes to put together.

Blueberry Pet Fully Removable Washable Dog Bed
It so hard on the joints of all dogs but little dogs in particular when jumping down off the furniture. Our little gal loves to cuddle on the sofa. So we decided to get her these stairs to make life just a little bit sweeter. We like that they fold, so we can very easily bring them along on road trips.
Amazon Basics Foldable Non-Slip Pet Stairs
Although these don't travel as well having to be completely taken apart rather than just folding like the gray steps in this category, these 2 steps are much more practical for lower pieces of furniture.

Our little doggy and our huge Malinois grand puppy LOVE these beef chips! I especially like that they are a smaller business and made in the good ole US of A!

Our little wonder enjoys a topper on her food every now and then.
Toppers
While many have said that kibble isn't the best for our pets, I've found that this recipe from PawTree in combination with other supplements have kept our dogs healthy. This is the flavor our pooch loves best!
Real Turkey & Sweet Potato Recipe
These are new at PawTree and we recently had our girls try them. Oh. My. Goodness! She absolutely loves them! I like that they're REAL food freeze dried.
Freeze-Dried Bison, Pumpkin & Carrot Meatballs
This is another favorite freeze dried treat our dogs have loved over the years! We love that the ingredients are REAL food.
Freeze Dried Chicken Liver & Ginger
Our gal enjoys wet for as her last meal of the day. I'd like to start making our own dog food, but, for now, this is nourishing and natural.
Chicken & Rice Frozen Dog Food
This stuff keeps our dog spry and puppy-like! We just sprinkle the amount right for our gal on top of her food in the evening and she's good to go.
Here's what it says on Katherine Heigl's site:
“A multi-benefit canine supplement to help support your dog’s well-being including heart, joint, vision and antioxidant support.”

Our grand dog is a Malinois and she enjoys these Yak Cheese treats so much that our little Maltipoo decided she wanted to try them! Fortunately they come in different sizes so that every dog breed can enjoy one made perfectly for them. While the Malinois goes through hers in a couple of hours, (it's a puppy who needs to bit and chew), our little gal takes a few days! Once the treat is too small, don't toss it! Simply soak it in warm/hot water for about 10 minutes and then drain the water and microwave it for about 45 seconds. It'll become a doggie cheese puff for your pet to enjoy!
Mighty Paw Yak Cheese Chews for Dogs
Great for teeth and will keep your dog busy! Deer antlers can be pricey, but I have found it's worth it to have my dog happy and living her best “in the wild” life in the confines of our home.

TRAVEL
We purchased this portable pet carrier for our little maltipoo when we were flying to a wedding. Our pet really took to it! It's lightweight, has wheels, the handle is expandable, it has pockets, and is very easy to assemble and pull through the airline terminals. It's a bit of a snug fit beneath the seats but fits! Overall, it was worth the price we paid.
Airline Approved Expandable Pet Carrier
These bowls are great to keep in your car for when you travel. I have several and we even keep a couple in our suitcases for when we travel.
Collapsible Dog Bowls
Not only is it illegal to drive with your dog in your lap, I simply prefer she be belted in. The only problem is that she's so small she can't see outside. Problems solved with this adorable safe doggie carseat! It was very easy to install and I like that the liner is reversible for summer and winter weather.
Dog Car Seat for Small Dogs
When we first got our puppy and were training her to walk on a leash, she would constantly bite it. So we had to get something she couldn't break from and this served her well.
