Stuff We Love—Winter 2014

Dog and Crow has some of the chicest dog stuff. My favourite by far is Honey’s Classic Bed. I can’t stop gushing about how soft it is and how elegant it looks! Handcrafted in Vancouver, BC, and made of natural hemp canvas, Marshall the Lab finally has a comfy bed fit for his stylish self!—Celine ($130, dogandcrow.ca)

Tired of constantly buying quickly destroyed squeaky toys? Try out the adorable Freddy the Fox squeaker toy from For the Love of Fido! It’s made from heavier fabrics and has a durable
liner to keep it in one piece longer, despite its irresistible squeaker and crinkly tail.—Angela

Is your brother’s dog driving him crazy with rambunctious behaviour? Give the gift of
lifetime training support with the AKC "Good-Dog!" Helpline, a live hotline that provides
assistance from dog trainers. A one-time fee provides an available trainer 7 days a week with no restrictions for the life of their dog.—Cecilia ($80, shop.woofipedia.com)

You have to get your paws on Whistle! Whistle is the latest activity monitor tracker that you
can attach to any collar. Not only can it track your dog's activity level and send updates to
your phone but you can also set custom activity goals, track medication, and monitor health
trends! It's a cool window into your dog's day! —Vanessa ($99, whistle.com)

Pound Puppies, the hit toy of the 80s, are back! The kids in your life are going to love these—
they can register their pups online and get their very own adoption certificates. Comes with a
heart-shaped dog tag they can write the pup's name on!—Connie ($18, poundpuppies.com)

Just because you have pets doesn’t mean you can’t have lovely potted plants in your home.
Keep your dogs and cats out of your planters with Plant Patterns Covers. The elastic-edged
fabric cover keeps Rover from digging around in the dirt, making a mess or worse! Lots of
awesome patterns available.—Lauren (From $10, plantpatterncovers.com)

With my long Dachshund back prone to injury, Back on Track's therapeutic dog blanket is
my new best friend! It keeps muscles loose and supple, prevents injury, and speeds injury
recovery by reducing inflammation and easing aches and pains in both canine athletes and
couch mates alike.—Miniature Dachshund Esther (From $79, backontrackproducts.com)

Rose, my little Longhaired Dachshund, suffers from Cushing’s Disease and the attendant skin problems, so I was thrilled to find Splash Plus pet shampoo, developed by veterinarian dermatologists especially for dogs with itchy, painful, red, infected, sensitive skin. It’s a
godsend!—Jennifer ($33, vetsplash.com)

What to get the dog lover that has everything? One of these super-cool car grille ornaments! Simply choose your desired breed and bolt to the front grille—no drilling required.—Wirehaired Dachshund Penny ($50, anythingdogs.com)

This dress strikes the perfect balance between fashion and dogs! I love getting dressed up in too-cute things like this Scottie-dog-print dress from ModCloth. Let me tell you, it’s a hit every time I wear it to the office!—Taryn ($85, modcloth.com)

Collars just don’t get nicer than this. A handcrafted leather Paco Collar is a thing of beauty. My pick is the Tovin for the timeless appeal of this exclusive design but lovely options abound.—Natalie (From $60, pacocollars.com)
