This blanket has multiple uses in my house! I’ve used it as a comfy blanket in my pups crate, a blanket to cover and protect my white couch, and a blanket to cover my floor when my pup was learning to walk on non carpeted flooring. It’s withstood man...
PetAmi Waterproof Dog Blanket Queen XL 90x90
My dog loves to sunbathe on my deck in the summer. I really like how this door cover keeps my cold air from escaping when I keep the door open for my pup to go between my deck and inside as she pleases. It’s good at keeping the heat in during the win...
Flux Phenom Thermal Door Cover 40x82
When my girl was recovering from her spay and gastro pexy surgery, this made a HUGE difference!! The vet provided us with an e-collar which kinda looks like a wetsuit. That needed washed a lot and having this inflatable donut kept my dog from messing...

My dog won’t even go into my car without this in the backseat! I love it too. Sooo easy to install and clean. Keeps my backseat clean as well. My big-ass dog loves the car now and is super comfy whether she’s sitting, laying, standing, or poking her ...
Back Seat Extender for Dogs Truck Large Space

gogobunny Double Sided Waterproof Dog Blanket Soft Pet Bed Cover ...
When I first adopted my dog, she had a TON of tummy problems and was itchy all the time. She was on a prescription diet for awhile and then I transitioned her to this kibble. It’s been great! Soon I will transition her out of the puppy version, they ...

This is one of my FAVES!!! I’ve tried so many products like it and this one is both effective and my pup likes it too! I like to use this before letting my girl jump into bed with me. Something about it works so much better than wipes, so I use this ...
Dandylion Clean Paws No-Rinse Dog Paw Cleaner

Virbac C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste 2.5oz
Perfect for big dog with short coats! My Great Dane mix (96lbs, 1 years old) likes to lay and chew a bone while I comb her. It’s a nice way to deshed and works a lot better than other combs I’ve used that seem to be for longer haired dogs, or that ma...
EasyGroomer 5-inch Pet Shedding Brush
Treats
A healthier treat and keeps her breath nice. Winn-Dixie loves these and they keep her occupied for a bit too. Anyone knows how hard it is with a big dog to find a treat that they don’t inhale immediately lol and these are pretty good for that!

I’m a big fan of these! I used to train with kibble but these are a great step up. More incentivizing but not so big or unhealthy that you need to worry about giving too much. Works great for my big pup
Zuke’s Mini Naturals Dog Training Treats, 16 oz
I’m OBSESSED WITH THESE!!! There’s nothing else that keeps my dog occupied for long periods of time, is easy on her stomach, and once it becomes too small I pop it into the microwave to turn it into a cheese puff! My dog freaking loves these! I alway...

Walks
Love how versatile this is! Can wear it around your waist, or clip it to a collar/harness. My favorite is clipping one end to the front of the harness and the other end to the back of the harness. If you use one clip, the multiple rings throughout gi...
Halti Small Black 2m Double-Ended Dog Leash
I like to keep these on me when I take my dog for walks. We’re out for at least a half an hour and in Pennsylvania it’s hard to know what the weather will be like. My nose runs real easily and having these make a big difference in case my nose is run...
3-Ply Ultra Care Pocket Tissues, Travel Size
All kinds of gross things can happen on walks lmao so I love to keep these hooked on either my leash or fanny pack. Maybe it’s not necessary to use after cleaning 💩 bc technically I didn’t touch anything, just a plastic bag, but for my peace of mind...
Purell Hand Sanitizer Variety Pack, 1oz, 8ct
I have a big dog and so she usually needs a big 💩 bag 😂 I really like how easy these are to open. Sometimes the thinner material feels impossible to pry open with other brands haha

Crate
I adopted my dog from a Great Dane rescue so I wasn’t sure how big she would get. This crate is so big that I fit inside easily lmao. Now my pup is a little over a year old and 96 lbs. So I didn’t need a crate this big after all lol but I love how th...
Solutions ® XX-Large Heavy Duty Double Door Dog Crate
