Hurtta Summit Parka

The Hurtta Summit Parka is the first Hurtta America product that we have ever owned and after our wonderful experience we will never hesitate to spend the extra money again as it has more than proved that you get what you pay for. We used this parka in very cold and snowy environments, during snow […]

The WOOFgang Shop Paws & Go Balm

The wild winds blow, flakes swirl and fall from the heavens, ice cracks, melts, refreezes and the cold sets in deep into our bones. The Canadian winter is a force to be reckoned with. As humans we find ourselves dousing our bodies with gallons of lotion and body butter to offset the cold dry air. […]

Hurtta Trail Pack

The Hurtta Trail Pack received from Hurtta America is advertised as highly adjustable, multi-functional pack with emphasis placed on comfortable fit for the dog and large, detachable saddlebags.  In our opinion, this pack does not disappoint on any of its advertised features.  It has quickly become the most regular piece of equipment in our adventure repertoire.

Pet Life Helios Combat-Terrain Outdoor Dog Bed

Having had great experiences with Helios’ products for humans, we were quite excited to be able to test out a dog bed made by them and were hoping it would live up to the high standards we had for it. While the product isn’t terrible, it was definitely a little disappointing. The bed’s main advertising […]

P.L.A.Y. Deluxe Training Pouch

When we’re not exploring the forests, and climbing the mountains, we’re training! And a key component to our training is having a reliable pouch to carry all those tasty treats in, without having to fumble around trying to open it, or having all your treats fall out if you bend over.

Head-Lites Low Beams Collar

Normally, LED gear is a compromise and I often forego it, only to regret it when we get caught out after dark: our Alcott LED collar can’t be used with a leash, our dim eBay LED collars look too cheap to wear during the day, and clip on lights jangle around. Head-Lites are no-compromise LED wear. As standalone collars, they’re already […]
