Toys & Products
Toys, gear, and products that have passed Hazel’s rigorous testing.
Puppy Essentials
SmartPetLove Snuggle Puppy Behavioral Aid
A lifesaver for crate training and puppy anxiety. Hazel slept with hers every night with the heartbeat feature on, and carried it around the house during the day to keep it close. The realistic heartbeat mimics the feeling of being with a littermate and helps puppies feel calm and secure. One of the best things we did for Hazel as a puppy.
Rocco & Roxie Professional Strength Stain & Odor Eliminator
The best odor remover we have found, and a total lifesaver especially with a puppy. Enzyme-based formula that breaks down and permanently eliminates pet urine, feces, and vomit odors rather than masking them. Works on carpet, hardwood, upholstery, and fabric. Certified safe for use around pets and kids.
Upgraded Invisible Cabinet Latch Locks (10 Pack)
We installed these on every cabinet Hazel could reach throughout our home. No drilling, no tools, installs in minutes. She has not gotten into a single cabinet since. One of the easiest and most important things we did to keep her safe.
Kiscords Baby Safety Cabinet Locks for Knobs
We use these on our double office doors. If you have double doors that a dog can easily push open, this is the fix. It is a strap that loops around the handles and locks them together so the doors cannot be pushed open.
Favorite Toys
Hazel is a heavy chewer who destroys toys and beds. These are the only toys that survive.
ZippyPaws ZippyTuff Squeaker Ball
Hazel’s absolute favorite toy. She is obsessed with this ball over anything else we have ever given her. It lasts way longer than you would expect for a heavy chewer and the squeaker actually holds up.
West Paw Skamp Tough Dog Chew Toy, Aqua Blue, Large: 8.5-in
Durable rubber toy that actually survives Hazel. She has destroyed every other chew toy we have bought, but this one holds up. If you have an aggressive chewer, this is the one.
Bed and Gear
PetFusion Dog Bed
Hazel chewed up every other dog bed we bought. She did not like her crate, spent most of her time on the floor or trying to jump on our bed. Then we got the PetFusion and she loves it. Never chewed it once. It is her safe place now.
Grooming
We use two shampoos and rotate depending on what Hazel needs. The Pride + Groom smells so good you will genuinely consider using it on yourself. The Earthbath is the one you grab when your dog actually needs skin relief.
Pride + Groom The Sensitive One (Shampoo)
Made for puppies and sensitive dogs. Reduces dandruff and soothes skin. This is what we use on Hazel every bath.
Pride + Groom The Final Coat (Conditioner)
Detangling conditioner that extends the life of a groom. Works great on Hazel’s coat.
Earthbath Oatmeal and Aloe Dog Shampoo
Soap-free shampoo with colloidal oatmeal and organic aloe vera, made for dry, itchy, and sensitive skin. Helps re-moisturize, heal, and soothe while neutralizing odors.
Flea and Tick Prevention
Elanco K9 Advantix II
Repels and kills ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, lice, and biting flies. We use the large dog formula (21-55 lbs) and apply monthly. Simple and effective.
