Unlike dogs, humans’ initial interaction with the world at large is through our sense of sight. But even with sight being our most dominant and relied-upon sense, how often do we miss things? Even if we’re specifically looking for something we can have a hard time: “eye spy” game anyone? So it’s interesting to think […]
Cute and cozy is how I would describe the RC Pets Baseline Fleece that Emma tested for Dogs That Hike.

We received our PoochieBoots in Size 1, specifically for […]

We primarily use them to shield from red ants and foxtails, protect from the hot ground, and to prevent ice […]
This winter, Delilah had the pleasure of testing Muttluks Snow Mushers, in size 5 for her front paws and size 4 for her back paws. The boots we received from Muttluks was Delilah’s first time wearing boots. Prior to testing these, we would only apply Mushers Secret to each of her paws, but with time […]
