Ruffwear Haul Bag
If you’re anything like us, packing for a road trip involves a fairly lengthy checklist of gear for your dog. Previous to using the Ruffwear Haul Bag, packing for Reggie just meant I would stuff a large, reusable grocery bag full of his things and hope that my husband wouldn’t lose anything important on the […]
Hurtta Slush Combat Suit
The sun is out, the geese are flying north, and the ever so persistent blanket of snow is slowly disappearing from right in front of our eyes. Spring has finally shown us its beautiful face and with the delight of saying good-bye to old man winter we now have a new enemy to contend with. […]

Wavelength™ stretch webbing […]
P.L.A.Y. Tug Rope Toy
Let’s talk about toys! Like many dog owners our dogs have an array of different toys. There are some that last a minute and some that last a year. When selecting toys for our dogs there are several factors that I consider, the main ones being: price, durability/longevity, level of interest and safety. When put […]
Climbing rope leashes are designed to be durable and to absorb some of the force of a pulling pup and the Wolfpack Supply Big Locking Carabiner Leash is no exception. The first thing most people notice about Wolfpack Supply leashes are the vibrant colours. I love that the leash comes in so many colour options […]
P.L.A.Y. Compact Training Pouch

As someone who consciously makes an effort to consume sustainable and ethical products, P.L.A.Y.’s ethos already had my attention before I had an opportunity to test their products. We tested their Compact Training Pouch […]
