About This Site

Dog Gear Picks is written by Gwen Hollis, a retired school bus driver who has had dogs her whole life and admits she buys a lot of gear for the one she has now. Every review here comes from living with the product: no-pull harnesses for a dog who pulls, chew toys for a dog who chews everything, orthopedic beds, deshedding tools and slow feeder bowls. She is not a vet or a trainer, and anything about your dog's health belongs with your own vet.

Dog Gear Safety

Fit matters. Use each maker's size chart and check a harness fit before every walk: you should be able to slide two fingers under each strap, and no strap should rub behind the front legs. A harness that is too loose can let a dog back out of it near traffic. Never leave a harness or collar on a dog who is unsupervised in a crate.

Supervise all chewing. No chew toy is indestructible. Inspect chews often and throw them away when they are worn down small enough to swallow or when pieces break off, splinter or crack. If your dog swallows a piece, or shows vomiting, gagging or a change in appetite, call your vet.

Groom gently. Deshedding tools can scrape or irritate skin if pressed hard or used too long in one spot. Do not use them on cuts, rashes, hot spots or irritated skin, and follow the maker's directions for your dog's coat type.

Slow feeders are for eating speed, not a medical treatment. Fast eating, choking, coughing up food or a swollen, hard belly can be signs of a serious problem, including bloat, which is an emergency. Call your vet right away.

Wash bed covers and bowls as the maker directs, and keep foam inserts out of the washing machine and dryer unless the label says otherwise. Nothing on this site is veterinary advice.
