Maple loves that this is soft and crinkly, and we love that there's no stuffing!
Crinkle No Stuffing Duck Toy with Soft Squeaker
Great bones for dogs on the smaller side! Maple loves these. They come in a pack of 3!
Nylabone Power Chew Toy for Dogs
This is one of Maple's favorite toys. It's super lightweight, easy to throw or roll, and is bouncy as well. Maple loves to play tug with this and surprisingly hasn't destroyed it in the *nearly* two years we've had it.
Rubber Ring Toy
Maple is obsessed with Tuffys! She is a destroyer, and these are the only stuffed toys we have where she doesn't immediately tear a hole in them. She loves playing tug or fetch with them!
World's Tuffest Soft Dog Toy
This is the perfect enrichment toy! The hard rubber is perfect for chewers, and the hollow center is great for treats or spreads like peanut butter, yogurt, or applesauce.
KONG Refillable Classic Chew Dog Toy
This is an awesome birthday present for super chewer dogs! Maple loved this toy and it can even dispense treats.
BARK Super Chewer Treat Dispenser Toy
This is great for storing toys in a visually pleasing way, and low enough for Maple to get into!
Cotton Rope Basket With Handles
This wood open front bin is another awesome toy storage option! Maple can easily reach her toys with the open front.
Open Front Bin - Brightroom™
Food/Treats
These ear clear bowls were one of my best dog purchases. Maple's ears used to dip into her food and water every time she ate, and now they stay completely clean with these bowls!
Ear Clear Dog Bowl and Mat Set
A collapsible dog bowl is a must! This is perfect if you take your dog places or on long hikes/walks.
Collapsible Dog Bowl
The best for food storage! Keeps food fresh, but out of the way. Also great for traveling!

Waterproof Silicone Pet Food & Water Mat
These are made with real beef as the first ingredient, are grain-free, and contain no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives! They are soft and chewy, suitable for training, and packed with nutrients like omega fatty acids for overall health.
Merrick Power Bites Grain Free Beef Dog Treats
These food toppers are awesome! Maple eats every bite when I put some of this on top of her food. It adds some flavor to her meal and supports heart health, which is especially important for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
They also have a variety of topper options, such as Joint Health, Immune Health, Digestive Health, Skin and Coat Health, and more.

Grooming
We have used this for four dogs and one cat and have nothing but good things to say about this clipper! It's easy to use and the quick guard is great for dogs with dark nails.
Dog Nail Clippers with Safety Guard
These have been the best for Maple! Whether it's wiping dirty paws, dirty ears, or even sometimes dirty butts, these wipes have helped out tremendously and prevent an unnecessary bathtime.

It's always super important to keep your dog's teeth clean. This kit included everything needed to get started with brushing your dog's teeth!
Arm & Hammer Dental Kit
Great brush to prevent matting on longhaired dogs. I love the self-cleaning button--makes it a lot easier to get the dog hair out!
Self Cleaning Slicker Brush
The best puppy wash! Gets your pup smelling nice and clean without a harsh scent. Maple is always super soft after I use this.
Burt's Bees Tear Free Puppy Shampoo & Conditioner
This kit has been so nice when grooming Maple myself. I use the comb to detangle her ears, the scissors to trim up paws, and the thinning shears to thin out areas that get matted easily.
Stainless Steel Dog Grooming Kit - Scissors & Comb
The Furminator has been amazing for deshedding Maple! Her coat looks visibly better after getting out loose undercoat with this.
FURminator Medium Dog Long Hair DeShedding Tool
Misc
The best carrier for bringing baby Maple home via plane! Fits under a standard airplane seat. Also fits my foster cat!
Sherpa Original Deluxe Travel Pet Carrier Large
This has been a staple at my parent's house. With a dog door, and occasionally 5 dogs total running in and outside, it has stayed in place despite the dogs tearing in and out of the dog door 24/7. Catches a lot of the dirt and muddy paws from being o...

Puppy
Maple loved chewing on this when she was a teething puppy. It was the perfect hardness level for her baby teeth!
Nylabone Ring Bone Chew Toy for Puppies
Maple loved her snuggle puppy when she was a puppy! It has a heartbeat and a heated pouch insert that keeps the toy warm. She loved cuddling it, and it always soothed her to sleep!
Snuggle Puppy - Heartbeat Puppy for Dogs
These are the best when potty training a puppy. So much easier to clean up accidents and awesome for “puppy-proofing” an area.
Amazon Basics Dog and Puppy Pee Pads
This was a lifesaver after Maple got spayed! It was super easy to get on and off. It 100% prevented her from getting to her surgical incisions, and was much more comfortable than a cone.
Dog’s Recovery Suit
Crates are essential for puppies! This gives your dog a safe space to relax, and also keeps them safe when you're not home.

This play pen is great for times you need to leave your puppy unsupervised but don't want to crate them. Life saver when Maple was little!

The Chom Chom has been amazing having two animals in the house. It easily gets fur off of any fabric surface, like couches, clothes, or bedding. I love that it's completely reusable and it works insanely well!

This carpet cleaner has been a life saver! Cleaning up accidents is so much easier and thorough, especially when the accidents are on a new rug!
