If your dog is a powerful chewer, you’ll want to invest in indestructible chew toys. This way, you won’t waste your money or time replacing torn-up dog toys or, even worse, living room furniture. The toughest chewers deserve the toughest dog toys, and that’s exactly what we’ve listed below.
I was having fun making this. This is a 10 question quiz featuring some of the least known dog breeds, but it’s anything but simple. Can you score a 10?
For the first person to email me a screenshot of the final screen with a 10, I’ll send a $10 Chewy gift card.
Update – we have a winner! Nice job, Colleen P. Gift card has been sent to your email.
If you have pets, you know about the cleanup duties. The best thing I own, hands down, is Bissell’s SpotBot. It makes pet accidents a breeze to clean. And frankly, human messes as well. Read More
Growing up, I always had a dog. My childhood dog, Missy, was a miniature schnauzer. Missy led to Bridgette, led to Max, led to Samantha, led to Ace, led to Max Jr, and finally led to Mollie. All miniature schnauzers.
Several months ago I noticed an ad on Facebook for a company called Answers Pet food. They are a local company that sold pre-packaged raw dog food. I had never fed my dogs a raw food diet but I wanted to learn more.
If we were to ask our friends and family if they think their dog smiles, I’m sure every dog lover would say, “Yes, of course dogs smile.” Perhaps they have even seen their dog do so. As an owner of a beautiful, white Siberian Husky, Echota, I’d say that there are times where she seems to be gleaming with happiness from ear to ear during our walks, and when I come home from work; she must be smiling! But do dogs really smile?
In my 25 years of dog ownership, a lot has changed.
I brought home Max Sr as a 8 week-old puppy and placed him in his crate the first night. He howled and whined the entire night. After speaking to my vet the following day, I was given the recommendation of placing a small desk clock or other analog clock with a towel wrapped around it to mimic a mama dog’s heart beat. He also advised to play soothing music. This worked.
On January 18, 2019 we helped our beloved 15 y/o miniature schnauzer cross the Rainbow Bridge.
A couple of days ago I endorsed the Kong Goodie Bone. It is a spin on the original Kong Classic chew toy. This rubber dog toy is a staple, being on the market for decades. It is easily one of the best dog chews for aggressive chewers.
Different dogs have different intelligence levels. Just like humans. Some dogs are a bit, ahem, ‘sharper’ in their earlier months. Some are simply the opposite. But generally, I find that six months old is about the time average puppies start to respond to conditional training. That is, training that uses a repeated reward system to build upon their memory.
