Products We Trust, Partners We Love

Because Your Dog Deserves Better Than “Whatever’s Trending”

Finding products you can truly trust for your dog isn’t always easy. The pet industry is full of viral trends, one-size-fits-all advice, and confusing marketing that can make even the most thoughtful dog guardian second-guess their choices.


That’s why this page exists.


Here, you’ll find dog food, supplements, enrichment tools, and resources I’ve personally used, tested, and trusted — both with my own dogs and in my work supporting clients. These are brands that put dogs first, offering real nutrition, meaningful enrichment, and practical solutions that actually support behavior, health, and everyday life.


How to Use This Page

You don’t need to buy everything here — and you don’t need to change everything at once.

Use this page as a reference point when you’re researching, replacing, or upgrading products for your dog. If something shows up repeatedly in your dog’s routine — food, supplements, enrichment, or daily gear — this is where I recommend starting.

Think of this as a curated shortlist, not a checklist.


Why Trust Matters

If you’re a listener or follower of The Dog Who Asked for More, you already know this isn’t a space for gimmicks or quick fixes. It’s about supporting real dogs and their humans with honesty, clarity, and compassion.


Every product listed here is something I’ve personally used with Toby and Fitz, or recommended to clients navigating reactivity, gut health, food sensitivities, enrichment needs, or daily-life overwhelm.


Whether you’re looking to upgrade your dog’s diet, address behavior through nutrition, soothe sensitive skin, or find safer enrichment options, this page is meant to be a trusted starting point — not another source of pressure.


How We Choose Products

The products featured here are carefully vetted based on:

  • Real-life use with my own dogs and client dogs
  • Ingredient quality, sourcing transparency, and safety
  • Functionality — does it genuinely help dogs thrive, not just look good online
  • Alignment with our mission to support overwhelmed pet parents with practical, compassionate solutions
     

If it doesn’t meet these standards, it doesn’t make the list.


What You’ll Find Below

Food & Supplements

Real dog food, targeted supplements, and gut health solutions designed to support digestion, energy, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Whether you feed kibble, raw, or a hybrid diet, these tools make nutrition more approachable and effective.
Start here if digestion, energy, or behavior feels “off.”


Grooming Essentials

Low-stress, skin-friendly grooming tools and wellness products that help keep sensitive dogs comfortable. From paw care to coat maintenance, these picks are chosen to make grooming easier and less stressful — for both ends of the leash.


Enrichment & Everyday Gear

Enrichment toys, durable chews, and daily essentials we use with Toby and Fitz to burn energy, reduce boredom, and support emotional regulation. These tools are especially helpful for reactive dogs, high-energy pups, and dogs who need alternatives beyond walks.
Start here if your dog struggles to settle or stay regulated.


Pet Parent Resources

Education, tech tools, and thoughtful extras that make life with dogs more manageable. From health trackers to training support, these are resources I genuinely believe can help you feel more confident, informed, and connected.


Why Shop Through Our Links

Some links on this page are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

When you shop through these links, you’re helping keep The Dog Who Asked for More free, accessible, and growing. We only recommend products we use, love, and trust enough to stand behind publicly.


Some purchases include exclusive discounts — but every single one helps support the larger mission: creating honest content, supporting overwhelmed dog parents, and continuing real conversations about behavior, nutrition, and care.


A Quick Note

These recommendations are educational and supportive, not a substitute for veterinary care. Always consult your veterinarian for medical concerns specific to your dog.


Thank you for being part of this community. Together, we can give our dogs the nutrition, enrichment, and thoughtful care they deserve — without falling for every new trend along the way.
