Let’s face it: there’s a dizzying array of products for dogs out there. Sometimes you get what you pay for, but often you don’t. I’ve had years of experience trying different products for my dogs, so I thought I’d share that experience with you with “Drew’s Picks”. I won’t review these products in detail, but I will post the products I trust to keep my dogs healthy and happy.
In Inventory
I stock the following items and am pleased to offer them upon request. Please email us using the links below each item.
Ecollar Bungee Collar – $39
This collar is meant to replace the standard buckle collar that comes with a receiver.
The bungee collars maintain the constant snug fit required for e-collars while maintaining comfort for your dog.
Creates consistent e-collar contact which makes for better communication between you and your dog while using the e-collar.
Easy on and off features…no more fussing with buckles!
The collar flexes with your dog’s neck allowing the dog to breathe easier as the neck flexes.
20 Foot Long Leash – $39
Made from Biothane
Biothane is a durable, waterproof material that is perfect for the e-collar receivers that I use from E-Collar Technologies.
Biothane-coated nylon webbing has several features that make it an ideal material to use in these bungee collars. It is lightweight, durable, and moisture and abrasion-resistant. It is easy to clean and very flexible. Biothane also has antibacterial properties because the coating is impenetrable to bacteria.
Available on Amazon
LONG LEASH (MINIMUM 15 FEET)
Having a high quality durable leash is a must when you are training your dog. No more soggy wet leashes or rope burn. Biothane leashes are my favorite as they are long durable, waterproof and easy on the hands. Switch to a Biothane leash and have a much better time training your dog on walks and recall.

Supplements
Adored Beast Apothecary, a brand I trust and use with my dogs.
PROBIOTICS a MUST!
Process diets do not give dogs all the nutrients they need. Gut health is something I see over and over again being a problem for most pet dogs.
HEATHLY GUT
DIGESTIVE ENZYME – PRE & PROBIOTIC
Our pet dogs probably aren’t getting enough natural enzymes in their everyday diet, especially if you are feeding processed or dry foods. If you feed raw food like I do, this is still a beneficial top up for your dogs overall gut health.
If you are feeding kibble, you can mix it up in a bowl with a raw egg or broth. If you’re feeding raw just mix it into the patty with a bit of water.
This supplement mimics as close as we can to enzymes in a dogs body.This can help your dog absorb nutrients in the food quickly to get the most of their diets.
LOVE BUGS
Contains 14 strain probiotic with 30 billion allergen-free CFU.
Probiotics, or “friendly” bacteria, are the gut’s defense system against “bad” or dangerous disease-causing bacteria. Prebiotics serve as a fertilizer so the gut can grow a bountiful amount of this friendly bacteria leading to wonderful health benefits such as combating yeast, helping with seasonal allergies and IBD, and helping to prevent tooth decay!
GUT SOOTHE
I have used this over the years for my dogs when they have had an upset stomach. It helps them heal up to get back to their natural state of health. If you have a dog with a sensitive stomach, gut trauma, inflammation in the gut, leaky gut syndrome, or if your dog has been on long courses of antibiotics, then this supplement will help .
Gut Soothe is a proprietary blend of anti-inflammatory herbs, nutraceuticals, and pre and probiotics that soothe and replenish the lining of the bowel, fight yeast, and combat unhealthy bacteria.

SUPPLEMENTS TO IMPROVE CANINE HEALTH
TURKEY TAIL MUSHROOM EXTRACT
I like knowing that this mushroom has many benefits to our canine’s health. I am using this supplement with Maple’s diet everyday. The Turkey Tail mushroom is, to date, the first medicinal mushroom that the FDA has funded for research in the fight against various types of cancer. Research shows that turkey tail mushrooms can help slow the spread of cancer cells, and when used in tandem with other traditional cancer treatments, improves survival rates.

Another stellar mushroom supplement this Chaga extract.
CHAGA EXTRACT
This is a daily supplement for my dogs.
Known as the “King of Medicinal Mushrooms,” chaga is the second most antioxidant-rich food in the world next to cocoa. A nutrient-dense superfood, the chaga mushroom grows on birch trees throughout the northern hemisphere. Chaga has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, and today, doctors, alternative medicine advocates, and researchers are increasingly interested in its many health benefits.
BASKERVILLE ULTRA MUZZLE
I love these muzzles as they are made of safe rubber, and your dog can properly eat, drink and breathe in one. For pet parents that have reactive and aggressive dogs, this tool will help prevent a bite from happening which will reduce your stress when interacting out in the world. You will need to check the sizing guide make sure you get the right fit so that your dog can’t pull the muzzle off entirely.
DOGGIE DON’T DEVICE
Stop Barking & Bad Behavior: Stop dogs from barking. Also correct fighting, jumping, biting, nipping, chewing, begging & leash aggression behavior
Loud: Device produces a very loud audible noise (more than 100 decibels) that humans & animals can hear.
Easy to Use Training Tool: Push button & say command. Loud noise redirects dog’s attention to stop unwanted behavior.
Eventually, simply showing the device will get dog’s attention
Includes Rechargeable Battery & Cord
I’ve used this device on multiple occasions to help curb nuisance behaviours like jumping. This can interrupt your dog as the behavior is happening so that you can redirect your dog and show them what to do.
Check out this YouTube video to learn more on how I’ve used it to curb over excitement and jumping with Maple.
Halti Headcollar
This head collar can help deter your dog from pulling you down the street. It requires a good protocol to help condition your dog to wear it comfortably. I’ve helped so many clients use this device effectively. Not ALL dogs love these, but when it works it really works! Find out more here.
