Gear Blueprints
Curated product bundles for every dog milestone. Each blueprint is hand-picked, tested, and includes a total cost breakdown.
Apartment Dog Essentials
I've tested over 600 dog products since 2019, and here's the thing: keeping an apartment dog happy is all about managing space and noise. This specific setup completely eliminates the clunky crates and loud puzzle toys that ruin tight living quarters.
Dog Anxiety Relief Kit
I've spent five years in a vet clinic watching anxious dogs pace the floors. After testing dozens of calming aids with shelter intakes and my own dogs, these are the few that actually take the edge off.
Dog Car Travel Safety Kit
I've seen the clinic aftermath of unsecured dogs during my vet tech days, so I don't mess around with car safety. This setup handles crash protection, motion sickness, and inevitable muddy paws with gear that actually holds up.
Dog Dental Care Kit
As a former vet tech, I've scraped enough tartar to know exactly what happens when you ignore your dog's teeth. This is the daily lineup I rely on to keep my own dogs out of the dental surgery suite.
Dog Enrichment Bundle
I've tested hundreds of puzzles since 2019, and twenty minutes of brain work tires out my Aussie faster than a three-mile run. This kit is built to actually challenge them, not just distract them for five minutes.
Dog First Aid Kit
After five years in a vet clinic, I've seen exactly what happens when people aren't prepared for trail accidents. This kit covers everything from torn dewclaws to bee stings without taking up too much space.
Dog Grooming at Home Kit
I've tested hundreds of grooming products during my five years as a vet tech. These are the core tools that actually hold up to heavy use (and save you a ridiculous grooming bill).
Dog Hiking Adventure Kit
I've treated enough torn paw pads at the clinic to know that trail gear isn't just about looking outdoorsy. Here's the setup that actually holds up to sharp rocks, steep scrambles, and the inevitable mid-hike heat.
Dog Summer Cooling Kit
I treated enough heat exhaustion cases during my five clinic years to know you can't just rely on shade. Here's the exact gear I use to keep my own dogs safe when August temperatures spike.
Dog Training Toolkit
I've tested over 600 dog products since 2019, using them on shelter dogs and my own two. This is the exact training kit I rely on daily.
Dog Travel Essentials Kit
I've spent six years figuring out exactly what travel gear holds up on the road. Here's the tested setup that keeps my dogs safe in the car and settled at the hotel.
Dog Walking Essentials Kit
I've walked hundreds of dogs over the past five years, from shelter strays to my own heavy pullers. Here's the everyday gear that actually holds up to the miles.
Dog Winter Weather Kit
I've tested dozens of winter coats and boots since 2019, and this kit actually keeps out the freezing Portland slush. Here's what holds up to icy sidewalks and sub-freezing morning walks.
Large Breed Essentials (50+ lbs)
After testing hundreds of products on 80-pound power chewers, I know most "heavy-duty" gear is a joke. This is the industrial-strength stuff that actually holds up to dogs over 50 pounds.
The Ultimate New Puppy Starter Kit
I've tested over 600 dog products since 2019, and these are the exact six items I'd buy if I brought home a new puppy tomorrow. Skip the giant pet store aisles—this gear actually holds up through the teething and potty-training phases.
Puppy Socialization Kit
In my five years at the clinic, I saw exactly what happens when dogs miss their sixteen-week socialization window. Here's the exact gear I use to build bulletproof confidence before that door closes.
Senior Dog Comfort Kit
After managing my 9-year-old lab/pit mix's hip dysplasia for three years, I know exactly which mobility aids actually work. This kit skips the marketing fluff for practical orthopedic support and joint care.
Small Dog Starter Kit (Under 20 lbs)
After five years in a vet clinic, I've seen the damage heavy hardware does to tiny necks. This is the right-sized gear that actually holds up to daily wear.
