STUFF WE LOVE
Modern Dog staffers’ picks of the litter
1 I love my Cover Me by Tui onesie, a post-surgical pet garment that’s a super comfy and effective alternative to “lampshade”-style Elizabethan collars. It keeps me calm and comfortable while preventing me from licking or chewing—perfect for dogs with sutures or hot spots. (Available in sizes for big and small dogs.)— Miniature Dachshund Rose (from $11, tulanescloset.com)
2 Keep track of your dog with the Tagg Pet Tracker! This GPS collar tag allows you to have peace of mind, giving you the ability to check in on your dog’s whereabouts and be able to find him if he is an escape artist. Peace of mind? Priceless!— Taryn ($100, pettracker.com)
3 Make way! The king of all dog carriers has arrived. In collaboration with Cloud7, the luxury pet label from Berlin, this contemporary carrier for dogs up to 25 pounds has everything you need—a removable plush lining, four air vents, a side mesh window, and a top flap that unzips. Plus, the removable shoulder strap also doubles as a leash! How cool is that?!— Vanessa ($375, cloud7.de or tumi.com)
4 I heart nerdy Pugs! This super-duper cute V-neck shirt from Inkopious is made out of 60% cotton, 40% polyester, and 100% pugtastic cuteness! And Inkopious donates a portion of every item sold to a non-profit animal rescue group, so every time you wear this shirt, you can feel extra good.— Celine ($25, inkopious.com)
5 Who knew that my handsome pup Nicky could look even more like a gentleman? This Matey Nautical Dog Bow collar is definitely dapper. Not only is it on-trend and cool, it's really well made and the bow can be removed for a more casual look (when he's not out charming the ladies!).— Gabbi ($40, rockyandjulio.com)
6 It can sometimes be a bit tricky getting a harness to fit my Dachshund physique, but My Canine Kids' harnesses offer the ultimate in adjustable fit. Soft, flexible, and breathable, they're perfect for any time or weather and there are so many great colours and styles to choose from!— Dachshund Penny ($40, mycaninekidsinc.com)
7 My dog loves car rides so I’m thrilled to have found the Pup Saver car seat! Created for dogs up to 30 pounds, it lets my dog ride in comfort and style and I'm happy knowing he’s safe and secure!— Kara ($120, pupsaver.com)
8 My new Pug puppy, now a few months old, is full of energy. As both of us are suckers for gadgets, the iFetch automatic ball launcher is the perfect way to keep him entertained long after my arm is tired from marathon games of fetch.— Charlie ($100, goifetch.com)
9 I’m loving the custom painted and hand-cut birch wood portraits created by Jennie Griffith. Both an oil painting and a sculpture, they are a truly unique homage to your dog pal.— Maxine (starting at $600, dawghead.com)
10 A proper spot to curl up and dream the afternoon away is essential for my guy Lyle, and this Essential Comfort Bolster Bed from Alcott is just the ticket. The bed is machine washable (a huge plus!) and has a reversible inner pillow. Bring on naptime!— Lauren ($69, alcottadventures.com)
11 If you open a bag of Riley’s Organics treats and can’t resist trying one yourself, I won’t fault you. They smell like mom’s cookies and they’re human grade, made from premium organic ingredients!— Julia ($7, rileysorganics.com)
12 Isn’t Millie the Cow adorable? Her floppy body crinkles as it’s tossed about and because it’s stuff-less it can’t be “disemboweled,” the fate so many plush toys instantly suffer. Millie, like all of Simply Fido’s terrific toy line, is made from organic fibers and the lovely soft colours are derived from natural sources. Love it!— Connie ($13, simplyfido.com)
