items I never realized that taking care of a dog may require a little extra work, meaning they could have skin allergies or even food allergies. In addition, their skin is important because it can affect your allergies or even trigger flares if someone has eczema for example. As I made a journey around our daughter's eczema and how important food and skin products were, it started me on the path to the dogs as well. Hope this information helps anyone!

Wound or general care
Our dog had bites or allergies and we didn't want to go to vet so we used this and let it sit, then conditioner and had to put a cone so he didn't bite anymore and it healed within a few days. We bathed every other day just due to extreme irritation.... This DOES have fragrance but we only used until our dog healed, after we used unscented

Cute Bear Hug Plush Pet Bed, 22in Khaki
I bought this in 2022 and needed a new one just now ONLY because I wanted another for another dog we got. This is so soft, so easy to clean, never stains. I don't even get this kind of usage on regular blankets. It's waterproof but feels like a regular blanket. Whatever is going on, this holds up!
PETMAKER Waterproof Reversible Pet Blanket 50x60
I like the price point on this and we had a smaller dog so we looked for smaller sets for food and water. They're stainless steel so easy to clean, they stay in place and when we added another dog to our house, we just did two food bowls and then bou...

Food
I didn't realize the amount of work it took to have a dog in the first place but then to add we had a baby that had eczema and we do have kids with allergies, although we have hypoallergenic dogs, they still are only hypoallergenic in the sense that ...
We have a Bichone and Havapoo dog, both are sensitive when it comes to food. We don't let them eat scraps because in long run, it's not healthy and can cost more for vet visits so we try to get things they'll enjoy and has no added ingredients. This was a win. It's a little pricey but highly recommended in terms of what's in it and quality
Evanger's Heritage Classics Beef & Bacon Dog Food - 12 Count, 12.5 oz Each
We need dog food that is good for their coat since a healthy coat and healthy skin = less dander and less allergens (due to kids having allergies and eczema). We can definetly tell a difference when we switched brands, after finding out what was in the other dogs. Dogs are healthier and happy too, AND it's on Amazon which helps. Other websites were hard to keep track of on busy schedule
ORIJEN Grain Free High Protein Dog Food 4.5lb

This was our go to dog food brand forever until the one they loved, went out of stock for a little bit and we switched - but it's been back in stock and same, has so many added benefits in it
Wellness Complete Health Dry Dog Food, Chicken & Oatmeal, 30-lb
Limited ingredient wet dog food if you need to do it. We have to add occasionally because our dogs get picky and I get it, it's annoying eating the same thing all the time. Most things sold in stores are all filler and additives, this is just ingredients and they love it!
Hound & Gatos Wet Dog Food 98% Chicken
I didn't realize that a lot of the typical dog treats that you buy at the store have sugar, brown sugar, dextrose and other items added, even artificial colors until I started reading the ingredients. As dogs can react to those ingredients like we do...

A puppy or not, sometimes animals just chew! While it's upsetting, we do need to realize they are animals and most act like toddlers, so ‘baby proofing’ your home is a must.
These go over wires very easy! while they still may get through if they chew long enough, it gives you a fighting chance
