Planet Dog

 

Over 60% of American households include pets; pet supplies account for sales over $5 billion each year. So finding stuff you can buy for your pets isn't that hard. You just go to PetSmart, right? Sure, then you can do your part of spending that $5 billion.

Or, if you'd like to be a little more selective, here are a few of our favorites; we'll be adding more, and we'll also look into your recommendations - just email us and tell us what you think is worth the money.

Tattle Tale

Pets not allowed on the table but know to wait til you leave the area? Tattle Tale will help. Good for the newly planted garden, too.

K9 Keeper

For working dogs. Everyone knows not to leave the dog in the car unattended, especially in warm weather, but for working farm and hunting dogs who are appropriately housed in a vehicle temporarily, the k9keeper is a great addition to a hunting truck or farm vehicle. .

 

 

F Series K-9 Deployment Heat Alert Systems

Or, if you're serious about canine car climate control, have police or search and rescue dogs, or just like fancy gadgets, you can use what the police use:

Police dogs usually work in cars with automatic temperature sensors and auto AC even when the engine is off. To fit your car with this kind of after market customization is expensive, but for search and rescue dogs it's needed.

Designer Dog Tags

Why should your dog's tag be the same as every other tag? Even if he has a microchip you may still want your phone number prominently displayed in case your dog is found by someone without a chip reader. Be sure to use an S hook or split ring. At these prices, you don't want this one to fall off in the woods.

Premier EasyWalk No-Pull Harness

This is ingenious. Training your dog not to pull on the leash is not complicated but it takes incredible consistency. Sometimes you just have to walk the dog. This harness is easy to put on and adjustable. The magical feature is that the leash hooks at the front or at the chest of the dog. With no training at all your dog will no longer be able to walk ahead of you. If he does, the harness causes him to have to turn around and face you. This makes lunging ahead impossible. It’s wonderful for both very large dogs who are difficult to train and small ones who are easily injured by tugging on a regular collar. And now it's "Eco-Friendly".
These are your run-of-the-mill squeaky toys with one wonderful feature…the squeak they emit registers too high for humans to hear it but dogs still do. This is such a great gift for both the fun loving dog and the shift working dog companion. Dogs can play with their toys all night long and not wake a soul. I take my dog to work and his toys need to be office compatible. Perfect solution.

Teckelklub dog coats


Average dog coats are made for the average sized - and shaped - dog. Most dogs have differing body types from greyhound to wiener dog. It can be difficult to find an off the rack coat that will both fit your dog and be easy to use. Teckel coats are made for Daschunds but since the coat does not have to fit the length of the legs these coats fit deep chested dogs that are small. This is a difficult fit and nice to find. They are also fleece and easy to put on the dog having only a wide belt that covers the tummy. This is better than a loose fitting coat that may fit more dogs but won’t keep him very warm underneath.
