Why Shira loves the Honest Chew
Perfect for puppy teething days. It keeps her busy, helps redirect bitey energy, and wears down gently instead of being rock-hard. Great for redirecting her from furniture. Tiny chaos cloud approved.

I keep coming back to Woof products because they are simple to use, easy to clean, and actually keep both of my dogs engaged. I like that their enrichment and chew options are designed with safety in mind, especially for growing puppy teeth, while st...
Woof Dog Products - The Amazing Pupsicle
This has been a really good enrichment toy for Shira when she has extra energy but needs something calm to focus on. The fleece folds hide treats or kibble so she has to use her nose to sniff them out instead of just grabbing food instantly, which ke...
Glory To Dog Puppy Small Breed Snuffle Ball
This has been perfect for Shira because she loves to tug constantly. I have it set up so she can use it inside or outside the crate in her play-pen area, which gives her a safe way to burn energy without needing me to hold the other end every time.

Interactive Puppy Teething & Treat Dispenser Toy
Everyday Needs
I originally picked this fountain because I wanted something cleaner and lower-maintenance than a plastic water bowl, and the stainless steel has been really easy to keep fresh. Even though it’s marketed for cats, it’s worked well in our house for ke...
Veken Automatic Pet Fountain 95oz Stainless
This has been one of those “quiet sanity savers” in our house. With a puppy and a big fluffy dog, I needed something that could protect the couch without looking or feeling like a tarp. I love that it’s actually waterproof on both sides, so muddy paw...
Dog Bed Cover Waterproof Reversible 82x102
This is one of my favorite adventure leads because it doesn’t absorb water or mud, so it never gets soggy or smelly after messy walks. It’s durable, easy to wipe clean, and still comfortable to hold even on longer outings with the dogs.
Waterproof Leashes
This harness is solid and really well-made, and the front clip combined with the bungee makes walks with “born to mush” dogs much more manageable. It gives better steering and absorbs that sudden excitement without putting pressure on the neck.
I es...
Leash Boss No Pull Dog Harness, Reflective, Medium
This has been really helpful for Shira because she will absolutely inhale her food if I let her. This version has a three-tier, rotating design that makes her slow down, work through each section, and actually chew instead of finishing her meal in se...
Outward Hound Lickin’ Layers Small Dog Puzzle
This has made training sessions with Shira so much easier. I really prefer the fabric style over silicone because it feels more comfortable to wear and doesn’t have that “sticky” or gross texture after a long session. When I’m working with her, I fee...
Dog Treat Pouches 2Pcs Pocket Snack Bag
This is our official at-home spa day shampoo for Shira. It’s definitely a little more expensive than typical dog shampoos, but completely worth it right now while she’s still finishing vaccines and can’t go to the groomer yet. It smells incredible an...
OUAI Fur Bébé Pet Shampoo, Mercer Scent 16oz
This honestly saved our sanity during winter potty training. Shira has a strong “catch me if you can” vibe, so being able to place her directly into a secure potty area, especially in the middle of a freezing Michigan night, means she goes quickly in...
IRIS USA 34" 8-Panel Dog Playpen w/Door
This was one of the best purchases we made for bringing Shira home. Our drive from the breeder was about six hours, and having her secured in this seat meant I never had to worry about her slipping, falling, or trying to climb out. The seatbelt runs ...
