Chewy is a must stop shop for all pet parents. From their fast shipping times to their reasonable prices there is truly nothing to not love about Chewy! Today I’m sharing with you my top 10 must have items for dog parents from chewy.com
1. Benebone
A rotisserie chicken flavored Benebone was one of the very first toys I ever bought for my Siberian Husky puppy and to this day, almost two years later, it remains her very favorite toy. It keeps her busy for hours and she takes it everywhere with her! I never had an issue with her chewing on furniture and I swear this toy was the reason for that.
Chewy Price: $9-18
Bully sticks are a great option for keeping your pup busy for hours. Not only are they a long lasting treat that will keep any dog entertained, but they also help to clean teeth and are 100% digestible for those dogs that like to eat everything they get their paws on.
Chewy Price: $2-65
3. Bones & Chews All Natural Dental Sticks
I bought these as an alternate to bully sticks as bully sticks tend to get a bit pricey. These dental sticks provided the same amount of entertainment while still keeping her teeth clean! They are 100% digestible and contain no added sugars making them a healthy treat for your pet!
Chewy Price: $10.49
4. Four Paws Cotton Web Training Dog Lead
My family enjoys sitting in our front yard on nice days and wanted to be able to allow the pups out with us! This lead allows us to let them be outside in an unfenced area safely while still being able to explore. I purchased this in the 20 foot option.
Chewy Price: $6-19
5. Tylee’s Salmon Freeze Dried Dog Treats
These treats are by far my pups favorite. She immediately begins doing her tricks whenever I pull them out! I love these salmon dog treats because the ingredients are simple, it’s just salmon! They’re low in calories, at 4 per treat, making them perfect for training or even as a kibble topper every once in awhile! These are on the more expensive side, at $15 a bag, but they are well worth it in my opinion.
6. Goody Box
The Chewy Goody Box is by far one of my favorite Chewy products I’ve ever purchased. I bought the Halloween box for Luna last year and loved it so much that I bought her the birthday box for her 1st birthday back in February! I was so excited when I saw they brought back the Halloween Goody box this year with new goodies inside! Each box contains multiple treats, toys, and an adorable bandana. It was so fun to receive the box and see what was inside! And you get it all for the reasonable price of $29.99 per box.
7. ZippyPaws Climbers Mountain Rope Dog Leash
I’ve always loved the look of rope leashes so when I was picking a leash I thought I would give this one a try and I love it. It is thick and sturdy making it perfect for bigger, more energetic dogs and it has really stood up against the test of time. It comes in multiple colors and in a 4 ft and 6 ft option so you can pick the perfect one for you and your pup!
Chewy Price: $9-11
8. Cozy Courier Collapsible Travel Silicone Bowl
I have a couple of these silicone travel bowls that are perfect for hiking, vacation, or car trips.

I keep mine in my car and they have come in handy on many different occasions!

Summer is here and temperatures are rising! What better way to keep your furry friends cool this summer than with some frozen treats? Today I have two “pupsicle” recipes that are sure to keep your pooch satisfied all summer long.
Single Ingredient Frozen Meat Bites
For these meaty flavored treats you’re only going to need one ingredient: meat broth! You can use chicken or beef flavored broth, I did a few of each.
To start, pour your broth into silicone ice cube trays. I got mine on Amazon for relatively cheap!
Next just fill your trays with the broth and freeze! It takes about an hour for them to freeze all the way through.
And you’re done! These are the quickest and easiest treats to make when your dog needs a quick cool down!
Frozen Berry Treats
For these treats you will again need your silicone ice cube trays, along with a blender, water, and some frozen fruit. I used a frozen berry blend that contained blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries but any frozen fruit will work (as long as it’s safe for dogs!).
Put your frozen fruit into a blender along with some water and blend until you’ve got a liquid.
Tip: Add some plain or greek yogurt to give the treats a creamier consistency
Pour your liquid into the ice cube trays and then freeze for about an hour.
Once your treats are frozen pop them out and you’ve got the cutest frozen snack for your pups! These are perfect to enjoy on a hot summers day! Be careful, they stain easily, and are better enjoyed outdoors.

Have you ever stepped on pavement, barefoot, in the middle of summer? If so, you know how quickly that hot pavement will burn your feet. Just like humans, dogs feet can also burn, crack and blister when exposed to extreme temperatures. Hot pavement, blacktop, and even sand can damage your pups paw pads. The harsh winter weather can do some damage to your dogs feet as well. Today I’m sharing tips to keep your pups paws in tip top shape.
Causes
A dogs paw can be damaged from multiple different situations. Hot surfaces can cause a dogs paw to crack or blister, meanwhile, extreme cold can cause the paw to become chapped. The salt used on roads and sidewalks to prevent snow from sticking can also cause infections, sores, and blisters to a dogs feet.
Dogs can also experience injury to their paws from stepping on sharp objects such as rocks or pieces of glass.
If your dog walks on rocky terrain they can end up with small pebbles or sticks in the crevices between their toes which can make it painful for your pup to walk.
Dogs can also experience cracked paws due to seasonal allergies.
What to look for
If you notice your dog limping or licking at their feet a lot, that is a sign that their paws may be damaged. Check each of their paw pads for cracks and bleeding. Your dogs paws should not be super dry and should look mostly smooth. When checking your pups feet, make sure you’re keeping an eye out for anything that could be stuck between their toes or toe pads and remove any foreign objects.
Cures
If you notice that your pups paws seem cracked or dry, using a paw balm can help moisturize them. If your dog seems to be in a lot of pain, or the paws don’t heal after a couple of days, a trip to the vet is a good idea.
Prevention
Be mindful of where you’re walking your dog. If you wouldn’t want to walk barefoot on the pavement, your dog probably doesn’t either. If you notice your dog limping or avoiding the sidewalk during your walks, that is a sign that it is too hot and you should find a grassy area to walk them in instead. You can also purchase a pair of dog booties for walking your dog in extreme weather. Checking your dogs feet daily and applying paw balm regularly will keep them happy and healthy.
