Stuff We Love—Spring 2020

5Strands Affordable Pet Test

Do you suspect your dog may have food allergies? If so, you need 5Strands Affordable Testing’s intolerance test. It couldn’t be easier—simply send in a few hairs and they send back a report detailing your dog’s allergies and intolerances so you can adjust his diet as needed.—Hayley (From $88, 5strands.com) 

Lennox Pets

If you've never given your dog a bully stick chew before, get ready for them to be SO INTO IT. Made of only bull pizzle, dogs go crazy for these single ingredient chews!—Vicki (From $26, lennoxpets.com)

Nationwide Pet Insurance

There’s nothing worse than having to weigh needed veterinary care against cost. Nationwide Pet Insurance makes sure this doesn’t happen with coverage that fits your dog’s needs. Just visit your vet, send them your claim, and they’ll send you a cheque! Peace of mind that’s worth every penny.—Nicole (Plans starting at $35 a month, petinsurance.com)

Chicken Soup For The Soul

Feeding my dog a quality food she loves is very important to me. Chicken Soup For The Soul Classic Wet Food fits the bill with no by-product meals, wheat, corn or soy. Real chicken and turkey are the first two ingredients and are blended with duck and salmon for a taste my dog adores!—Yaunna ($2 per can, chickensouppets.com)

PawPail

I’ve found the ideal pet waste station for your home or pet-friendly business! PawPail dispenses pet waste bags and then temporarily stores pet waste while controlling odours. It can also be wall-mounted wherever is convenient, making clean up a breeze!—Linda (From $180, pawpail.com)

Petcurean

I love Petcurean’s Grain Free Duck Pate. Made from the best possible ingredients like cage-free duck, plus pumpkin, you can feel great about giving your dog the quality food they’ll devour.—Charlie the Chocolate Lab (From $4, petcurean.com)

SeaDog Treats

I love using SeaDog Treats when practicing tricks with my food-driven dog! He loves these nutritious treats and they keep him focused when training. Best of all, they’re made from fresh USA-sourced beef and chicken, nutritional powerhouse organic Norwegian kelp, apples, carrots, and long-grain brown rice, so you can feel great about giving them to your dog!—Georgia ($20, seadogtreatsllc.com)

TidyDog

Make mealtime mess a thing of the past! If your dog gets food everywhere or has long ears that are always getting into his dinner, you need the Troff Bowl from TidyDog. The elliptical shape lets long ears fall outside of the bowl and the contoured corner-less sides guide food to the center of the bowl rather than all over the floor. Genius!—Milena (From $18, tidydog.com)

Primal

Elevate your dog's health with Primal Elixirs, aromatic whole food toppers you add to your dog's dinner. Choose from immunity boosting Healthy Green Smoothie, joint-health promoting Omega Mussel Melange or digestion helper Winter Squash Puree. Each flavour includes specialized, functional ingredients to support healthy digestive tracts, immune systems, and joints.—Connie (From $10, primalpetfoods.com)

I’m-Yunity

Help your dog battle cancer with I’m-Yunity, a medicinal mushroom extract made from the Coriolus Versicolor (Zhi) mushroom. This clinically proven mushroom supplement supports immune health and helps stabilize white blood cell counts while enhancing energy and appetite. It’s also been found to slow the growth of cancerous hemangiosarcoma tumors and in some cases reduce their size.—Jennifer (From $95, imyunityfordogs.com)

OxyFresh

Making sure my dog’s dental health is taken care of between vet visits is made easy with the vet-approved Pet Dental Water Additive from OxyFresh. It safely and effortlessly helps keep my dog’s breath fresh and teeth clean.—Georgia ($15, shop.oxyfresh.com)

Misfit Manor

My pup and her fur-ends looked so cute celebrating her adoption day in the Dog Birthday Hats from Misfit Manor! An adorable accessory pawfect for a fun celebration and photos. Best of all, they're made by a full-time dog mom who adopts senior and handicap pups. "Every day with my dogs matters," says maker Nancy Halverson. "We have a lot of dog parties here because we love to celebrate the joy and love that dogs bring into our lives." Full dog party kits also available.—Cecilia ($11, misfitmanordogs.com)
