We’ve been feeding this for the at least 15 years and our last two dogs lived to be 17! I use this with my foster dogs also especially anybody who has tummy or skin issues. I swear by it!

My dogs and foster dogs love these! They literally run for their crates when I pull them out at bedtime as their last treat of the day. And my two dogs have yet to need dental work so I think these actually work.

Our little pity has a scooting problem (she’d be embarrassed. I’m telling you this). But these supplements really make a difference and she rarely scoots, unless I forget to give her them or we, heaven forbid, run out!

These are reasonably priced and they’re super soft and totally motivate my dog when we’re training. He likes all the flavors, but I think beef is his favorite.

If you need to put weight on a dog, this stuff is magical. I’ve also used it to entice dogs to eat who are fussy. If I put a tablespoon of this on their food and mix it in, they will always eat. I use it a lot for foster dogs who are severely underwe...
Dyne® High Calorie Liquid Nutritional Supplement For Dogs

This is the best probiotic out their hands down. It also comes in a powder, but the tablets are easier to deal with and the dogs always eat them. It’s a little pricey, but they only need one tablet a day. It really helps with dogs with Gastro issues ...

Salmon oil is incredible for dogs, skin and coat. I give it to all of our foster dogs daily.

I call these ‘crack for dogs’ because they can't resist them. They are my go-to when trying to catch a difficult dog or win over a scared one. They all love them. Bonus is that you can use scissors and cut them into tiny pieces so they also work as h...

This soft, tiny treats are reasonably priced and perfect for training (hence the name). I use them often with foster puppies when I'm teaching them to sit calmly for attention.

This stuff is probably my most important tool in fostering dogs and puppies and I’m never without it. Just a scoop in the water adds electrolytes and encourages my foster puppies to drink more. I really believe it makes them stronger and more able to...

Love this leash for dogs that pull. Works incredibly well on the big hound dog I'm fostering. It's easy to slip on and take off. Great alternative to using a ‘head collar’ and WAY better than a harness.
ThunderLeash - No-Pull Dog Leash

This is the only leash I use with my personal dogs. I love the flexibility of lengthening and shortening my hold on them with no chance of the leash slipping through my hands. The handles are padded. I use the furthest handle if we're out for a sniff...
Triple Handle Heavy Duty Reflective Leash

I love this harness because it's so easy to put on (one clip) with no wrestling into it. My dog has never slipped it and the broad front pad keeps it from rubbing. It also has a clip on the front and a clip on the back that slides back and forth, so ...

Highest quality slip lead around. Thick, solid, with a padded handle. My absolute go-to.

The thunder shirt makes such a difference for my anxious girl fanny. When she sees me get out, she starts dancing around so I know she loves it. But more than that when she wears it, she calms easily in the car and has stopped throwing up. We also us...
ThunderShirt for Dogs - Calming Wrap

I love this great for how quick it is to set up how light it is to carry with extra handles everywhere. It’s perfect for traveling. It also comes with a soft liner in the bottom so if you forget your bed, at least your dog has that. It’s very sturdy ...
