Justin Silver’s Top 7 Pooch Products
When it comes to dog products, I feel like I’ve tried them all and can sum up most of my experience in four ways: 1. Disappointing, as in never again. 2. If they had only done-this-or-added-that, it would have been great. 3. Good, solid product, and 4. Use it and never lose it. Here are a few that made it into my rotation and never left:
1. Four Paws tension gate
Sturdy, adjustable, no drilling, and not terrible to look at.
2. Kong Toys
Made of nearly indestructible rubber (I said nearly). Fill with food, even freeze with food, hand over to your waiting pup, and enjoy some free time while your dog works this great treat.
3. Ruffwear Safety Beacon Light
Bright lights help you see your dog in the dark (and they blink, too).
4. Black Diamond Rock Climbing Carabiner
Clip this to the leash and then to your belt for a tethered, super secure walking experience.
5. PAWZ Rubber Dog Boots
A boot that is ice, snow, salt, lawn chemical, hot surface, and water proof, and allows a dog’s feet to move freely inside? A winner.
6. Bio-degradable poop bags
Watch Addicted to Plastic, then use these to clear your conscience.
7. Tuffy’s Mega Ring Dog Toy
A great tug toys that floats, is machine washable, and made tough, but still soft enough for a dog’s mouths and my hands.
