The Hug-a-Dog Vest Harness

>> Visit Website

In many of the photos on this website, you’ve seen Nigel and Divot wearing the Hug-a-Dog Harness. I really like this product because it’s so versatile. Originally created for Dachshunds this custom-made harness actually fits our hard-to fit-Norwich! It’s ideal for using with a seatbelt, great for hiking, and it’s an all around comfortable walking harness for them. Harnesses come in black or white mesh with colored piping or check out the huge selection of fun fabrics too.

Dr. Bob’s Daily Health Nuggets

>> Visit Website

This is the vitamin supplement that Nigel and Divot get each day. These tasty nuggets supply your dog with optimum daily levels of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, EFA’s, fiber and anti-oxidants.

Snuggle-up Bolster Bed

>> Visit Website

This bolster bed is Nigel and Divot’s favorite bed! They have 3 of them – one in my office, one in the living room, and one in our bedroom. They can both fit in it together, usually each dog draping him or herself over each side or one dog can stretch out completely and still have lots of room for the other! Each bed is washable and the reversible pad (fabric and sheepskin) can be removed for travel. I buy the medium size beds.

Big bolster bed is great for sharing with a friend... or relaxing alone!

Only Natural Pet Store

>> Visit Website

This on-line pet supply store has a great selection of all things natural for your pet. They carry food, treats, supplements, toys, gear, books, and more.

Bags On Board

>> Visit Website

A must have for every dog owner! I really like this product because it makes the not-so-nice task of picking up after your dog a little more convenient. Bag dispenser attaches to any leash, and blue bags are biodegradable. Having Bags On Board means you’re never without the means to pick up after your dog. Don’t you wish all your neighbors had this product? Can be found at most pet supply stores.

Moozles

>> Visit Website

Merrick’s “Moozles” are Nigel and Divot’s new favorite chew. These beef snouts are not greasy, are large enough to last for at least a week of chewing pleasure, and have no offensive odor to the humans in the house! They’re big to be sure, but nothing that a feisty little Norwich can’t handle!

The Kyjen Company makers of Outward Hound Pet Gear

>> Visit Website

The Outward Hound line of pet gear has a huge selection of innovative gear for you and your best friend. They offer everything from packs that your pooch can carry to packs for you to carry your pooch in! They also offer safety gear such as flotation devices to keep your dog safe in the water and safety gear such as convenient collapsible bowls so you can make a refreshing drink available to your dog anytime and anywhere. A cool drink is always a welcome sight for a parched pooch! The Kyjen Company also offers a great line of fun and interesting toys for your dog.

In addition to these great products, The Kyjen Company offers excellent customer service and stands behind each product they make.

One of our favorite items is the Pet-A-Roo Carrier. Perfect that pooch that's pooped!

Sun Dog Decals

>> Visit Website

I originally received a Sundogs Decal as a gift. These decals are great for the safety conscious pet owner. It tells emergency personnel that there is a beloved pet inside the house. This beautiful decal shows what your breed looks like and also indicates whether there is a single pet or more than one. Choose a singular or plural version.

These decals are a great idea done well. Buy some for yourself and some for gifts!

Cloud 9 Herbal Dip from Halo Pets

3438 East Lake Rd. #14 PMB 612 Palm Harbor, FL 34685
(800) 426-4256
>> Visit Website

This is an amazing product! It is made of 9 aromatic oils that safely repel fleas and other biting pests from your pet (and you!) while leaving a fresh scent. This versatile product can be mixed with water and "spritzed" on your pet before going outside; it can be applied full strength (about 3 or 4 drops) to his collar to create an instant herbal flea collar or it can be added to regular shampoo to make your own flea shampoo. It's safe, effective and costs much less than the questionable chemicals that are normally prescribed for flea control.

Wilderness Foods Ltd. Real Meat Treats

>> Visit Website

Real Meat Treats are just that. Real meat. Your dog is going to love these tasty, high quality jerky treats; you're going to love giving them to your pal because they're made from naturally farm raised New Zealand chicken, venison, lamb or beef with no chemical preservatives and so you know he's not getting a bunch of ingredients he doesn't need. These small jerky treats are easy to tear in half so you can treat more often! Perfect for putting in your bait bag for training. For those who strive to feed their dog a healthy, good tasting diet, this is one treat you can feel good about giving.

Dr. Noy's Toys

Found at SitStay website.

We like these toys because they have replaceable squeakers in them. Just open the Velcro opening and replace the squeaker and your dog is back in business! Divot's all time favorite is the chipmunk.

The Gulpy Water Dispenser

The Gulpy Water Dispenser for dogs is a great way to take water with you on the go. Having water available at all times is so important, especially in such a dry climate. Nigel and Divot did not like drinking out of a collapsible bowl but they love the Gulpy water dispenser! Top flips down and allows your pooch to drink comfortably. This dispenser clips to your belt or tucks into your backpack or purse. Can be purchased at pet supply stores or on line.
