Real dog supplies tested with a real dog. Leashes, harnesses, feeding gear, and the everyday products that actually hold up. Reviewed for durability and daily use, not just first impressions.
These things are crazzzzy expensive but we bought one 2 years ago for our lab and it looks brand new. And she is excitable. I thought she would need the large but I went with the medium and it worked out perfectly. She's 65 pounds for reference.
