I’ll have to admit, I melt for attractive, hip, handcrafted goods. And I melt even more for waxed canvas. Add in the fact that I’m a huge proponent of fair trade and you can imagine how excited I was to get to test the fair trade certified, handmade, food-safe waxed canvas collapsible travel bowl from […]

Alcott Mariner Blanket
Going on adventures with our dogs leads to tired pups, so when were on the go having a dry, comfortable spot for our four legged friends to relax is important. While the Alcott Mariner Beach Blanket is designed for use on the beach, this blanket is extremely versatile and has become one of our travelling essentials […]
Touchdog Convertible Dog Jacket
The main selling point of the Touchdog 2-in-1 Convertible Dog Jacket is the 2-in-1 concept: you get a light fleece for crisp days, a lined shell for windy days, and a warm coat for cold days, all in one. Touchdog is a new brand to me and from their website, they seem to be focusing on dog beds and carriers these days, but […]
Hurtta Mountain Rope Leash
Reggie tested the 6 foot Hurtta Mountain Rope Leash from we received from Hurtta America in the Juniper colour option. The leash is available in both a ½ inch and 1/3 inch thicknesses and comes in a variety of colours. We tested the ½ inch leash. Retailing at around $40.00 CDN, it isn’t the most inexpensive […]
Often times the environment takes a backseat to consumerism and us humans don’t bat an eye at the wastefulness of our species. Over packaging, disposable products and using non-recyclable materials is killing our environment and truly impacting the earth around us every day. It’s our responsibility as earthlings to reach out and search for […]

It’s all about finding the right fit for your dog both in style and comfort. While we don’t use boots on all […]

It gets bone chillingly cold in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We generally get blanketed with snow 8 months of the year. (October – May) We have temperatures dropping down to -40 C (same as -40F) with the wind-chill at times. It is the kind of cold that makes your muscles ache and your face go numb. […]

P.L.A.Y. Barbell Rope Toy
Toys are a necessity in our home… durable, indestructible toys. I was skeptical of the P.L.A.Y. Barbell Rope Toy at first since any previous rope toy we’ve owned has been destroyed within a few days to a week at most, and then went straight into the trash; we’ve avoided buying them for so long for this […]
Alcott Essential Fleece Blanket
Atlas is a dog who loves climbing mountains, swimming in creeks, and jumping over fallen leaves while out on the trail. There is nothing my dog will say “no” to when we are out in the wild. He is a true “Adventure Dog” through and through. Atlas does have another side to him though, a […]
