Yes, it is that time of the year when we get to spoil our dogs…not that it doesn’t happen year around, but the holidays can provide the perfect excuse without raising (as many) eyebrows from those who don’t “get it.” But, for those of you who do “get it,” YEAH! So we have checked out some great products and have some unique suggestions that will be great additions to your home for your pet.

The Wooly Snuffle Mat was a HUGE hit with Scooter who loved finding his treats (and his breakfast when his pet parents went out in the morning) in his special rug. Not only is a great way to provide novel enrichment, it is both safe and sustainable, made from upcycled materials and is non-toxic.  It can be easily cleaned by tossing in the washer and dryer, the perfect size for any dog, and Scooter even likes napping there.  Available PAW5.

Hugely popular with our canine testers, the Molly Mutt Bed got a four paws up across the board. It’s a great concept that is not only comfy, but functional and sustainable, too. Afterall, how many of us have way too many t-shirts from every rock concert we’ve attended that probably don’t fit as well as they used to and you just don’t have the heart to give them away? Exactly.  The Molly Mutt Bed uses old clothing, bedding, just about anything soft and cozy, to stuff the pad for your pooch.  The result? A great bed that is not only perfect for napping, but, even better, is smells like you.  How comforting is that? Available at Molly Mutt.

How many balls have you bought for your best pal, only to have them be short-lived given the enthusiasm? The un-poppable One World Futbol, has been tested by some top dogs, including Hank the Pitbull, Hayley the ball-obsessed hound, a goalkeeper’s dog, even Triton the soccer-playing lion in the Johannesburg Zoo couldn’t take it out. The best part? Purchase a ball for your pooch and another is donated to international organizations that bring play to children around the globe. Now there is a gift that will keep on giving!

Finding great products that both you and your dogs like when it comes to things like shampoo can be hard, but a pair of white Maltipoos, and their Mom, tried out Isle of Dogs shampoo, conditioner, and repláscent and was thrilled with the results, particularly the wonderful scents.  Wampa and Tauntaun came out looking handsome as ever and their pet mom was contemplating where she could find a counterpart  that worked as well and smelled as nicely for her human boys.  Visit Isle of Dogs  to see their Everday NaturaLuxury line to see all their fine grooming products.  And while you are there, be sure to check out their 100% Natural Dog Treats, too.
