Best Christmas Presents for Pets!!

November 28, 2022

I absolutely love this time of year because I love sharing my gift guides! I figured I would kick off this series with the best Christmas presents for pets! Furry friends are usually the easiest to grab for but I wanted to put together this really unique list of presents you’ll both love!

I love shopping for my Frenchie Sky all year so I always find Christmas to be tricky! You don’t want to purchase too many things you know they won’t use but you want to make them feel like part of the family! This list is actual things I am planning on or already have purchased for her this year!

Furbo 360 Pet Camera

Shop Here

This camera will truly be game changer as I have the original but this one swivels! You can turn it all the way around which means you have full view of the room your pet is in. I have such piece of mind knowing I can see Sky when I’m not home and I love that now I can literally see everything. I also pay for the Furbo dog nanny subscription which means it sends me all sorts of notifications on things she’s doing! This is also a great gift idea if you don’t want a whole new camera!

Béis Pet Carrier

Shop Here

Now that the world is open again we’ve been doing a lot of traveling with Sky! For some reason she only likes to sit on my lap in the car which isn’t safe at all so she will be getting this travel carrier this Christmas! We’ve tried car seat but I love this one because it’s TSA approved and fits dogs up to 30 lbs which she is! I like that this expands and has an attachment to slide a seatbelt through or just your suitcase handles so she’s secure!

Pet Stroller

Shop Here

Now this was something I didn’t know I needed, until I got it! I joked for awhile that I was getting stroller for long walks but I finally got one and it has changed everything! First of all, Sky loves it! We went to the boardwalk with it and she even walked around on Halloween in it! It’s perfect for her when we’re in busy places that make be nervous to have her on the leash. This one was also incredibly inexpensive and she fits perfectly in it.

Bocce’s Treat Subscription Box

Shop here

First of all, have you ever seen anything cuter?? Also, this treat box seriously makes her month! We signed up for this box because I love the ingredients they use and all the flavors Sky loves! This is a great gift idea because this ensures that you’re only getting what you need every month! From treats, to poop bags and dental treats this box has everything you and your dog or cat need to get through the month!

Walking Leash

Shop here

Sky and I are obsessed with this hands free leash! It makes my life so easy because I have 2 hands to do whatever I need with. She’s also not big so this works perfectly for us because she’s not pulling me down. This is perfect for coffee runs or now as it gets colder you can keep your hands warm in your pockets and she still gets a walk in!

I hope these best Christmas presents for pets gave you some ideas on what to get your furry friend this holiday season! Filling up a stocking for her is also my favorite so I always add her treats and favorite bones in that! I have other gift guides from previous years you can check our here but also be sure to just subscribe so you don’t miss this years posts!

Pet Favorites I Can’t Live Without!

March 16, 2022

Now that I’m a dog mom, I am always on the look out for new pet favorites. Today’s bonus post is dedicated to all the products I’ve found that make life so much easier. I think that the key to having a pet is finding products that work for the both of you.

As we head into the warmer months, I find myself grabbing for these products even more on walks and trips. I have affiliate links to each product below but there is no pressure to purchase from them!

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag- Shop Here

This little bag is essential for my walks. I find that since we’re not wearing jackets in the spring with pockets, I need something like this. It perfectly fits my phone, keys, and of course treats for Sky.

Not only is this bag functional but I love that it is stylish and comes in lots of colors. This was also a great travel bag when we were on vacation but it fit everything I’d want to carry!

Snuffle Mat- Shop Here

At first glance you’re probably like you are crazy. This snuggle mat is seriously the greatest part of Sky’s day. I throw some treats in it, pull it smaller, and then she’s busy for about 15 minutes.

Enrichment toys like this are a great addition to your dogs day. They help to keep your dog busy and stimulate their brains. I like these especially on rainy days when Sky doesn’t want to walk but I know she needs to do something.

Freeze Dried Treats- Shop Here

Sky picked these out herself when we were at the pet store. They were on a bottom shelf and she wouldn’t stop sniffing them. She ended up loving them so we are now freeze dried raw people.

It’s funny because these used to gross me out but they really have a lot of health benefits for pups. I use these as a high value treat for her when we’re out and about and I need her attention.

I told you these bonus posts would be short and sweet! I’ve been enjoying putting them together for you to get more content out!

Let me know any pet favorites that you have tried or if you are planning to try any of these!! For more pet posts click here!

French Bulldog Life Hacks You Need to Know

October 15, 2021

I love my french bulldog but as many of you know, they are a very particular breed. After having her for now 2 years I can say I have found many french bulldog life hacks that I want to share. I love this breed but you have to be prepared to care for them and their many needs. You can read more posts like these here!

Bentonite Clay Shampoo

I’ve found that shampoos with Bentonite Clay work wonders for my ichy Frenchie. This class has been shown to work wonders for itch and hotspots which is something Sky suffers from over the summer. I love the Moosh brand shampoo because it’s all natural and doesn’t have harsh cleaning chemicals. For me, I would never want to put something on her skin that would potentially have bad effects later on. I stick to all natural and organic ointments and creams. This shampoo does the job to clean her and keep her skin soft and itch free.

Dasuquin Hip and Joint Supplements

I became interested in giving her hip and joint supplements after some research. Dasuquin was recommended to me by my vet so I have just stuck with it. Starting a pet on hip and joint supplements early, especially if they are a breed prone to issues, can help lessen the chances of developing major issues down the road. One thing I’ve learned with French Bulldogs is the key is to make sure they are bred well and then do everything you can for preventative care.

Portable Fan

This one is life changing. Everyone knows Frenchie’s overheat easily so it’s important to have ways to cool them down. I am obsessed with this little fan because it’s perfect to carry for her wherever we go. The flexible legs are great because I’ll attach them to her carseat in the car to give her an added level of coolness. This little fan from Amazon is powerful and I actually got the recommendation from my cousin who uses this on a baby stroller.

Life Jacket

Because Frenchie’s are top heavy, this French Bulldog life hacks is essential. Life jackets might seem pointless but they can save your pups life. We have this one from ruff wear because we needed one that would prop her head up enough. Some have a buckle around the neck but we need one that was all floating material to support her head so that she can’t get her head stuck.

I hope this French Bulldog life hacks post helps you whether you have a Frenchie or not. All of these tips and tricks are great for a different breed as well. Let me know in the comments below your French Bulldog life hacks or if you have any pet tips or tricks!

French Bulldog Products You Can’t Live Without

May 28, 2021

I’m back again with another French Bulldog products post. You all loved my last one, Frenchie Must Haves for Heat so I thought I would share some more general products. My puppy is now almost 2 years old and I seriously can’t believe it. This is such a magical breed and these dogs have the funniest personalities. Frenchies also can be prone to health issues. Most of these products are geared toward setting them up for success.

Pet Ramp

This ramp was actually a more recent purchase. I noticed Sky would jump off my bed and land really hard. French Bulldogs are more susceptible to things like IVDD and hip/joint problems so I knew we needed to find a solution. I love this ramp, it’s not the cutest in my room but it provides her a gentler way to get off the bed and she seems to be okay with it!

Ear & Eye Cleaner

Finding good products for your pet is literally the best thing you can do. Sky got an ear infection around 6 months old because of those giant and open ears, so we started cleaning her ears out 1-2 times a week. This ear cleaner was recommended by our vet so we love it. We put in in her ear, massage it, then let her shake it out and we take a cotton round and wipe out any excess.

As for eye cleaner, I honestly never thought twice about her tear stains until around January of this year. I noticed they were getting a lot of buildup and even seemed red on the skin. We started wiping her eyes with medicated wipes from out vet once a day. Now, we use these every other day just to keep out infection and bacteria. It’s important to look for eye wipes that are safe to use near the eyes and are anti microbial so they actually work and help to seal out moisture.

Car Seat

I almost cringe every time I think about how we used to drive with her in the car. I would just let her sit on my lap in the front seat and I now realize how dangerous that is. Dogs really need to be restrained. If you get in an accident, you don’t want them thrown from the car. We are OBSESSED with this Pup Saver car seat. It was pricy but it is actually crash tested and rear facing. I feel so great knowing that she’s as protected as a baby would be. This is probably my top french bulldog products.

Travel Water Bowls

The one thing I tell everyone is that Frenchies get overheated quickly. I always make sure to have water bowls in whatever car I’m in and fresh water. After going in to a store or walking around she needs some water. I love these with a lid from Amazon. These help to keep the car clean because once she’s done we can cover it up.

Healthy Treats

This is a big one because Frenchies really can’t be too overweight. It puts a lot of stress on their bodies and can flare up a lot of the health issues we’re trying to prevent. I like to look for low calorie treats that have good ingredients. My favorite brand to buy for her is Bocce’s Bakery. These treats are only 4 calories and have good ingredients that I would eat myself.

Another pro tip that I like to do in the summer is swap out treats for fresh fruits or veggies. I find that things like watermelon and cucumbers help to refresh her in the summer and keep her cool. You can even make your own puppy pops which not only are good treats but can help to keep your pup cool in the summer.

I honestly could go on and on about French Bulldog products. I am obsessed with Sky and am always looking for ways to make her life better. Frenchies are such interesting little characters but you need to make sure you really know what you’re getting into before you get one.

Let me know if you have any dog products you can’t live without because I am always looking to try new things!
