FOOD, CHEWS, AND NUTRITION
Primal Freeze-Dried Chicken Formula
I love adding a few of these to my kong stuffing recipes. I really love the ingredients in this product!
Rawbble Freeze Dried Beef
Great high value treat! This is actually a fully balanced dog food, which means you can feed it to your dog without worrying about empty calories!
Stella & Chewy's Dinner Patties
I use these to make stuffing for kongs, but I also love using them when we travel. The are easy to carry with you on a hike as well, for a midday snack!
Ziwi Peak Air-Dried Food
Fully formulated and balanced dog food that works great as a treat! Small squares are easy to break up into even smaller pieces. This tripe recipe is always a favorite!
Fresh Is Best Freeze Duck Hearts
Freja goes crazy for these! Use them as treats or a meal topper. I like to cut them up and add them to Freja’s frozen kongs.
Earth Animal Calm Chicken Jerky
When Freja was a puppy she had surgery and need strict crate rest… these were the only things that helped keep her calm! We still use and love them.
Earth Animal No-Hide Chew
We are a strict no rawhide house, but we still want long lasting chews to keep Freja happy and busy. She love these, and I feel safe giving them to her!
Nature Gnaws Bully Sticks
I love bully sticks because they are a digestible and safe chew for your dog! Make sure to get the appropriate size for your dog, there are instructions on the packaging on choosing the right size.
Happy Howie's Treat Rolls
One of my favorite treats to use for training! Cut them into any size you want or need. I like to cut rolls in half and freeze them. Remove and thaw in the fridge when you need them!
Stewart Freeze-Dried Liver Treats
A staple in my house! I put these in jars all around the house so I am ready to reinforce any good behavior. I sprinkle the leftover powder in the bottom of the tub over Freja’s food!
Vital Essentials Beef Nibs
Limited ingredient treat for those dogs with sensitive stomachs! Pack full of delicious and nutritious organ and muscle meat. Good small size for training.
Stella & Chewy's Chicken Wild Weenies
These are awesome for stuffing in enrichment toys like a Kong Genius or JW Holee.
HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Missing Link Skin & Coat Supplement
This company has great products! Freja takes this to help with her skin allergies. I love that this recipe has only a few ingredients, but is packed with nutrients.
Whimzees Dental Chews
It’s important to keep up with our dogs dental health. Along with regular brushing, these dental treats can help clean some tarted build up on your dogs teeth. Only a few ingredients on this product!
Nordic Naturals Omega-3
This was recommended to us by our vet for Freja’s seasonal skin allergies. I definitely think it has helped reduce her paw chewing. Always talk to your vet before starting any new supplements.
Dasuquin with MSM
Since Freja was a pediatric spay, I am always worried about her joints and bones! Plus, she is an active girl, so we want to be proactive about joint health. Ask your vet before starting a glucosamine supplement.
ENRICHMENT AND TOYS
Omega Paw Treat Ball
A funny and easy way to feed your dog dinner! Fill it with their kibble and watch them roll it around!
PetSafe Magic Mushroom
I can personally say this is one durable treat feeder! Freja regularly drops it down the stairs! Very impressed with the quality!
PetSafe Busy Buddy
Durable toy for feeding treats or kibble! Fits a surprising amount of food and can be adjusted to make it easier or harder to get out!
Outward Hound Burrow Toy
A fan favorite! Freja loves digging for these little toys. I will stuff in some treats and paper as well to make it more fun.
Invincible Stuffingless Snake
Freja loves this toy! She is definitely a toy destroyer and this one is still alive. She loves the many squeakers, and runs around shaking it.
Chuck-It Ball Thrower
If you are anything like me, you can’t throw a ball to save your life. This is a mush if Freja and I are playing fetch. I love that the balls are bright blue and orange, making them easier to see. We have lost way too many tennis balls in the field near our house. Also, the balls are thick and stand up to a fair amount of chewing.
Kong Jumbler
Freja loves running around the backyard with this one! Bonus, it squeaks! My friend’s dog is obsessed with trying to get the tennis ball out of this… she has yet to succeed. Very Durable!
Kong Wubba
Durable squeaky toy for dogs. Even Freja, who loves to tear and rip up toys, has a hard time destroying these!
LickiMat Soother
This is one of my favorite enrichment toys. I like to smear on peanut butter, cream cheese, or yogurt.
SnuffleMat
Hide kibble or small treats in here for your dog to forage for. Freja loves her snufflemat, and I love that this one is machine-washable!
Kong Wobbler
One of my favorite puzzle feeders. Easy to fill, clean, and use! Very durable. Freja eats her kibble out of this all the time.
WestPaw Toppl
An amazing Kong alternative! If your dog struggles to eat out of a rubber Kong and loses interest quickly, try this! Easier to get food out of, but still very durable. We have a dozen of these at home!
Kong Classic
Kongs are an essential in our house! Freja get one frozen kong every day. While she eats it, I can relax or get some work done in peace and quiet!
Kong Genius
Perfect size for bully sticks, dental chews, and large jerky strips! This is such an easy enrichment activity and Freja loves hers!
Outward Hound Puzzle
For more advanced puzzlers! This keeps Freja busy for a while and easily holds up to 1 cup of kibble
COLLARS, LEASHES, AND OUTDOOR GEAR
Ruffwear Hoopie Collar
This is the collar that Freja wears most. I love the thick and durable D-ring and the separate ring for putting her tags on! Easy to wash and very durable.
Hurtta Reflective Leash
Durable for even the strongest dogs, plus it gives you high visibility at night! Great for those in the city, or early morning walkers.
Blue-9 Balance Harness
If I could only have one harness in my life, it would be this one! With 6 adjustment points, it will fit a dog of any shape! Durable, lightweight, and safe!
Ruffwear Front Range Harness
Durable option for people looking for a harness with a front clip and back clip! Freja has had hers for years now, and it has held up great!
Ruffwear Palisades Pack
My favorite harness/pack we own! It is so durable, which is important, since Freja likes to climb cliffs, run through brush, and roll in everything!
Ruffwear Overcoat Jacket
I love this jacket for warmer winter days! The inner fleece lining keeps Freja’s core warm, while the durable outer shell is water resistant and keeps the wet snow from soaking in.
Hurtta Extreme Warmer
Our favorite jacket for super cold days! This jacket is light, but extremely warm! Freja can move easily in it, and it keeps her warm in below 20 degree weather!
Coghlan Bear Bell
A requirement for us when hiking off leash! This bell allows me and others to easily hear where Freja is. It also warns wildlife so that Freja can’t sneak up and catch an unsuspecting rabbit.
CRATES, BEDDING, AND MORE
Pet Ami Waterproof Pet Blanket
We have a few of these. Freja eats her kongs in her crate or on her bed and these help make it easier to clean up!
MidWest Double Door Crate
The crate Freja has had since she was a puppy! I love the double doors, plus it folds up super easy! Pull out plastic tray protects your floors from messes.
K9 Ballistics Tough Orthopedic Bed
I love foam beds for the crate! Comfortable and supportive for growing or aging joints. This one has a removable cover to make washing easy, a must for all my dog beds.
JoicyCo Dog Pad
We got this pad when Freja was a puppy and we still have it! It’s easy to take with us when going to a friends house, and is very easy to clean. It has no-slip bottom which I like as well.
TRAINING TOOLS AND GEAR
Doggone Good Bait Bag
My most used pouch! I love all the extra little pockets for my clicker, poop bags, and more. It has a magnet closure on the top, making it easy to open and close.
PetSafe Treat Pouch
My favorite treat pouch for classes! The snap close is awesome and prevents treats from spilling out if you bend over. Lightweight and easy to clean!
Clicker with Wristband
Love the wristband on these! You can clip it to your treat pouch so that you always have a clicker and never lose it. Button style clicker is easy to use.
