Stuff We Love—Winter 2015/16

“Chill Pad” from Pet P.L.A.Y.

The soft and luxurious velvet top of Pet P.L.A.Y’s designer “chill pad”($35) makes napping simply irresistible.

Vibrant designs and easy cleaning make it a hit in any home or office.—Miniature Dachshund Esther 

“Oscar” collar from Collier Leads

When I’m out on the town I like to get noticed—noticed and patted that is! Increase your chances of getting human attention by wearing the gorgeous handcrafted “Oscar” leather collar ($90) with brass detailing from Collier Leeds. With it any dog can own the dogwalk (or sidewalk)! I know I do.—Lexi the Rat Terrier

Polaroid Z2300

If you’re like me the number of digital photos you intend to print are piling up. With Polaroid Z2300 ($179), I can finally print my dog Nathan’s photos on the spot! The camera even lets me crop, filter, and upload the picture to his Facebook page right from the camera. Oh, and it also takes videos! Absolutely love this!—Celine 

Wahl U Clip

Between groomer trips, dogs can get a little shaggy. The Wahl U Clip ($35) is great for little touch ups when it’s not time for the full groomer visit!—Taryn

Pee happens! (And I should know.) Don’t let puppy pads stink up your home. Rather than have them sitting in your garbage, toss them in the convenient Puppy Pad Wizard ($80), an odour-free, sanitary, and cute solution to smelly pee pad disposal. Great for disposing of belly bands and doggie diapers too. It’s like a Diaper Genie, but for dogs!—Miniature Dachshund Rose
