Toys for Tough Chewers
Most of the toys I am listing are for aggressive chewers, and dogs that need a lot of stimulation. My dog has Pica, so I've made it my mission to never have to worry about Beau eating something he shouldn't. All of these toys have been safe for him, ...
This chew toy is a bit easier on the teeth than Nylabones, so I like this one a bit better. It also doesn't get razor sharp, which is good for me so It wont hurt when I step on them, but also Beau's gums.
Dogwood Tough Dog Chew Toy
A fun ball toy that isn't easy to tear apart, like a tennis ball is. It also squeaks which dogs always love.
Ball Dog Toy, X-Large
For the very active pups that love fetch, this is great for them! It will also save your arms from constantly throwing the ball.
Sport Launcher Dog Toy
Another great treat toy for those high energy pups. When I first bought this, Beau just barked at it. But eventually he learned how to get the treats out and its so fun to watch him do it. He loves it!
Tumble Interactive Puzzle Ball Dog Toy
Have a dog with separation anxiety? Or they just want your attention constantly? This treat is the best for that. They will be occupied with this treat toy for an hour, I swear.
Pupsicle Long Lasting Refillable Dog Treat
Another alternative option to Nylabones! My dog loves this one, and its made from natural fibers so it's a little easier on their teeth and gums.
Tough Dog Chew
A pro tip for this toy: put some yogurt in each spot or water with berries and stick it in the freezer. This will keep your pup occupied for a while.
Puzzle Toy
Such a great yard toy for your pup! It's easy for them to carry, durable, and can be hosed off to clean.

Beau is a big dog and is pretty strong, so I've been trying to train him not to pull. The only thing that works for me is this gentle leader. It wont hurt him, and makes sure to keep me safe from injury as well. It's been a great training tool!
Gentle Leader
Ruffwear is a great brand, and I love this collar! It's so cute and I always get so many compliments about it.

Beau is an active pup and usually needs a lot of water on hot days. This water bottle is insulating so it keeps water cold, and it has a built in bowl!
Large Dog Water Bottle
If your dog is hard to see at night, this is such a great accessory! It is battery chargeable, and the battery lasts forever. I use this all the time on late night walks, or in the yard up in the mountains so I can keep track of Beau.
LED Dog Collar
For the fast eating pups who sometimes get a belly ache after, this bowl is for you! It's not too hard for them to eat out of, and is easy to clean.
Fun Feeder Slo Bowl
The only leash I ever buy! I usually get the 6ft. long one. It lasts forever and is very durable.
Dog Leash
This has been Beau's favorite bed. As a 55 lb Labradoodle, he needs a lot of room to stretch his legs, and this bed has been perfect for him. It is washable, and can be thrown in the dryer, so its super easy to keep clean.
Calming Dog Bed Washable
I go paddle boarding a lot with my dog, so a life jacket is essential. It makes me feel better knowing he'll be safe, even though I know he can swim. The jacket has been great, it helps hold his head up and he doesn't mind wearing it at all.
Dog Life Jacket
Such a great crate if you're looking to travel with it! It folds up super flat, and is very light weight. It also has a few mesh doors for the pups to look out of.
Dog & Small Pet Indoor & Outdoor 3-Door
I bring this everywhere I go with my pup! I think its great for dry treats, and you can hook it to your belt or bag.

Beau had chronic ear infections when he was younger. For a while I had to bring him to the vet to get treatment, but now all I use is this twice a month, and it keeps his ears clear!
ZYMOX Otic Dog & Cat Ear Infection Treatment
I think this tick and heartworm medicine is recommended by a lot of vets, but here is a link to it on chewy as well. I think it's a little cheaper online. It really does work though! I find dead ticks falling off of Beau all the time.
Simparica Trio Chewable Tablet for Dogs, 44.1-88 lbs
Teeth health is super important in dogs. I brush Beau's teeth twice a week with this toothpaste. He loves the flavor and surprisingly gets excited when he sees me get it out.

For the pups with sensitive belly's. This probiotic is just a good additive with their meal to keep their gut healthy and their bowel movements smooth.
