Promising reviews: "This puppy ice cream smells great. I bought the maple bacon flavor for my 4-month Chihuahua, and she loves it. The size of the products is good for small dogs. I give her one scoop because she is tiny. This ice cream is perfect for the hot summer days." —Neryna Cuadrado Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four flavors). Promising reviews: "We were skeptical at first because the dogs weren't quite sure about them, but we can't let ourselves be caught without them now. Our 9-year-old male Australian Cattle Dog likes them occasionally, but our two under-a-year females love them, fight over them, and even fall asleep chewing on them! We especially like these smaller-sized pieces because the longer ones we got before seemed to lose favor with the dogs after a while, but these they can finish and not leave for me to find in strange places." —Danny Scarbro "I have a very easily bored, mischief-prone Australian shepherd-poodle mix, and these are a godsend. They don't stink, she loves them, they last far longer than other edible chew toys, and she remains interested in them all the way to the end. I was so happy to find these on Subscribe & Save at a good price." —Philly Transplant Get a four-pack from Amazon for $26.95 (also available in other pack sizes). Promising review: "My dog loves the treats made in this maker, and I love the relative ease and speed. I wasn't too crazy about the included recipes, but I found quit a few good ones online. The online recipes make between 36 and 48 treats at a time — very generous — and use common household ingredients. Since I have a very fussy dog, I'm glad I found this." —Diane Mettam Promising review: "My dog loves these. We live in the South, so allergies are pretty serious here. When spring came around, I noticed he was constantly gnawing at his paw and not eating as much as he used to. I did some research and found this product. I was skeptical, as he’s kind of picky, but he is obsessed with them. He waits at the pantry door every morning for them. He thinks they are treats. I noticed — within hours — that he was no longer gnawing at his paw, and his appetite was also back to normal. When he finished his first tube of these, I decided to wait to order more and see if they really worked or if his allergies just wore off. A few weeks went by, and I noticed him gnawing at his paw again and not eating. I ordered them on Sunday, and he’s back on them again. He was so excited to see them again and is no longer gnawing at his paw. :)" —Alyssa Get 90 chews from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in five styles). Promising review: "Got this for my 24-lb dog, as he usually lies on the concrete patio when we’re all outside, with the sun blazing down on him. Got it set up and didn’t even have to coax him onto it. He loves it! He’s so comfortable and definitely cooler with that canopy over him. It’s also held up well through the heat, rain, and some surprisingly strong windstorms. Definitely recommend." —Prairie Dove Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors). Promising review: "This was a huge hit, both of our chocolate labs LIVE for peanut butter. Instead of the yogurt icing, I melted some actual peanut butter in the microwave and used that as icing instead. Chuckie could barely wait for it to bake!" —aim1030 Promising review: "This is my first Fourth of July with my rescue dog, and I didn’t know how she was going to react to fireworks. I bought this ahead of time just in case, and I'm so glad I did. She started shaking and panting as soon as they started going off. I put this on her and she almost immediately stopped trembling, and now she is asleep! I honestly had my doubts that something so simple would work." —weez Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in seven sizes and two colors). The heartbeat has two modes: 24-hour continuous use or 8-hour use with automatic shut-off. It comes with AAA batteries and a one-time-use heat pack. Snuggle Puppy is a small business that was created in 1997 by a breeder who wanted to help a litter of puppies transition to their new homes. It ended up being so effective that the line was eventually expanded to help other pets with stress and anxiety. Promising review: "This product is genius! Ten stars! Well-made, with clear directions for use. I have an elderly pug who has become increasingly needy. I can't sit with her all day. I tried snuggling her next to articles of my clothing or a shoe. She still cried and whined. So I searched online for some sort of calming dog product. After watching the video, I ordered Snuggle Puppy, and it arrived the same day. I had it out of the wrapper and next to my pug in five minutes. She rubbed her head on it so I knew she liked it. I turned on the beating heart, and no more crying and whining. I should have purchased this a long time ago." —Clarabella Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in seven colors). Promising review: "My English Mastiff (and the biggest baby ever) loves his ducky. He has ripped up other toys, but not his beloved duck. He has had it for a few months now and brings it everywhere around the house with him, even sleeps snuggled up with it. I don't know why dogs seem to love this toy so much, but I would highly recommend purchasing." —Kristen Promising review: "My pet loves this bed. It's easy to clean and very soft. I've spent a fortune on other beds and he never went near them. This one has a great price and he is in it all the time." —S.B. Get it from Funny Fuzzy for $58.76+ (originally $113+; available in three sizes and four colors and patterns). Promising review: "My dog loves the little bees. However, I don’t think she’s quite clever enough to get them out of the burrow. My kitten is the one who retrieves the bees, and the dog gets excited to steal them from her! Overall, I love this for both of my fur babies." —scarevans Promising review: "FANTASTIC. My dog LOVES this grooming too. He sits there and just chills. The other tools that I used were definitely not his thing. If I could give this item a 10, I would." —Coach Roy Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors). Promising review: "We bought this bed about a month ago for our boxer mix. She gets very chilly in the winters, even in the south. From day one she has loved this bed. She dive rolls into it. The added bonus is that she now prefers to sleep in what we call her 'taco' and doesn’t jump in our bed at all anymore. So all of us are sleeping better." —ShellyATL Get it from Amazon for $61.99+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "My dog has long fur (double coat) and she tolerates it when I use the slicker brush, but she actually relaxed and settled in when I brushed her with this. The only drawback, which wasn't enough to take off a whole star, is that the velcro has sharp corners and pokes my wrist a little when I move around. That won't stop me from using it, though, because my dog gives it two enthusiastic paws up." —Amazon Customer Promising review: "I bought these for my staffy. We live in New England, and in the winter, the trail behind our home gets very wet and then freezes over, which cuts up her feet on our walks several times a day. Her paws get so raw that she will limp around the house and leave trails of blood. We tried wrapping her paws in vet wrap, different barrier ointments, etc, but it was never enough or she would lick/chew it off. I never thought she would tolerate boots, but we were desperate enough to try. She ended up doing great with them and was so excited to play outside with our Shepherd mix! She does periodically stop and try to bite at the boots but is easily redirected. The boots are easy to put on her and stay on really well, though she is a very submissive dog so it might be more difficult with other dogs." —Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in eight sizes and seven colors). Promising review: "This product is great. My puppy is a digger, and we have red clay-type dirt. It gets her paws clean fast and easily. So much better than having to get a bath every time she digs." —Mandi Bultman Get it from Amazon for $19.74+ (available in three sizes, eight colors, and with or without a lid). Promising review: "My little dog loves this dog puzzle! He has very high energy and even with two 30-minute walks every day he can play for hours. We got several different types of dog puzzles and this one is definitely one of the favorites. I hide several small treats in the mat to engage him for 10+ minutes. Out of all the puzzle this was the easiest for him to pick up on but has yet to get bored of it. He knows when I bring it out it means treats!" —Jessica The reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.
