If it’s your first dog or your fifteenth there are some innovative new dog supplies every dog owner can use to make Fido’s life, as well as their own, more comfortable.
Dog crates are an essential part of every dog owner’s life. It’s likely the place where your dog spends a lot of their time when you’re at work and where they go when they need a little time away. But what to do when you’re visiting? Port-A-Crate makes travel easy for small and medium dogs with their line of collapsible, ultra-storable, portable crates that range from 15 inches to 31 inches high. For larger dogs Midwest has a similar answer, with their Life Stages travel and training crate’s fold and carry crate design. And there is no longer a need to have an unsightly wire cage in your house, either. Cratewear now produces a line of personalized crate pads and covers, to help your dog’s crate blend into your household as well as feel more comfortable for your favorite pal.
There have been a lot of innovations in dog safety in the last few years, particularly in the area of vehicular safety seating. From auto insurance that covers your pets to safety harnesses, you can rest assured that your dog will be safe in the car. Travelin’ Dog makes a full line of harnesses that work with your car’s seatbelts for small to medium dogs, and booster seats with harnesses for smaller dogs. For larger dogs SolVit makes hammock style seat cover that will keep your pet safely in place while he or she rides in the car, as well as protect your car seats.
Grooming your dog, too, has taken new steps. For finicky dogs who don’t like the scrape of a comb KONG has created the ZoomGroom, a rubber comb which attracts loose hair, dead skin, and dander, whisking them away while giving your pooch a nice massage. For a deeper clean Furminator has created a deShedder shampoo and conditioner line.
Dog training has become easier too, with two exciting new products that help make it easier. Innotek has created the Free Spirit No Bark Collar that helps encourage your dog to not bark with corrective stimulation that is triggered only by the dog’s bark. Dog obedience training is easier now too, with PetSafe’s collarless remote that enables you to train your dog with sound.
To make feeding your pet easier PetSafe has made the 5-Meal Automatic Pet Feeder. This automatic feeding bowl can contain up to five meals and releases them at a set time, giving you the ability to feed your pet for up to five days without having to think about it. You no longer have to worry about refilling your dog’s water bowl with the Drinkwell Pet Fountain, which purifies and recalculates water in the bowl, acting as a constant fresh water fountain for your pet.
