Dog Mother, Wine Lover Cap
Baseball Cap for Dog Mamas
Wine and dogs: Check!
I love wearing this to pet-friendly wineries. This distressed cap features Dog Mother Wine Lover with a paw print and a wine glass embroidered on your choice of cap. It looks worn and weathered but classy.
Spangle Style Bling Dog Lovers Apparel
Stitch n Bling Apparel and More
Bling, Embroidery, and High-End Shirts
I might be slightly obsessed with this company and eve had custom Club Cocker (and other) shirts designed with the founder. This mother-and-daughter team created outstanding t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, jackets, bags, and more, and they wash and wear incredibly well!
Crossbody Dog Walking Bag
Puppington 3-in-1 Crossbody Bag
For everyday use, walking, travel, and more
We own this bag from Puppington in three colors and can’t say enough about how awesome it is. I use it to walk my dog, but also for travel, short trips to the store, at shows instead of a purse, and it has mega room for your phone, poop bags, credit cards, treats, and more.
Make Your Dog’s Jerky and Dried Fruit at Home
Magic Mill Premium Food Dehydrator
10-day food dehydrator for homemade snacks
Feel good and safe by making your own dog treats from chicken breast, dehydrated fish pieces, lean beef, fruits, veggies, sliced bananas, and more. 10 trays means dehydrating in bulk with easy clean up, too.
Shine Bright Like a Diamond
Ladytree Store Pure 925 SS Earrings
Stash it away with ease
I have gifted these, and they look great as second or third earrings or just to display your love of dogs in general. They are lightweight but durable and come in a cute gift box for gifting to a loved one or yourself! Affordably priced makes them twice as nice.
Lady and the Tramp Love
Hallmark Lady and Tramp Ornament
Celebrate the love
Celebrate the 70th anniversary of the classic Disney movie “Lady and the Tramp” with this Spaghetti Supper Hallmark Keepsake Christmas ornament featuring the pair of dogs who fell in love. I plan on keeping mine out year round.
Dog Training Finds and Fun
Dog training should be positive, effective, and enjoyable, so this category highlights items that make learning feel like a game. From enrichment toys to “go to your spot” helpers, puzzle feeders, and clever tools that keep your dog’s mind and manners sharp, these finds turn everyday training into bonding time. Make training feel less like work and more like play!
Dog Training Platform for Fun and Manners
KLIMB Jr from Blue-9
Perfect for indoors and outdoors year round
The KLIMB Jr. is a small but mighty training tool, great for “go to your spot,” confidence building, and fun enrichment. Sir Alvin loves his so much that we have two (they can be used together or alone). It’s lightweight, durable, and easy to tuck anywhere. A fantastic, practical gift for dog lovers. Use code FIDOSE20 to save 20 percent on Blue-9’s website.
Stop Dog Pulling
Reflective Balance Harness Blue-9
Lightweight, effective, and be seen at night
Want a dog harness that stops the pulling and actually fits. Sir Alvin’s walking habits greatly benefited from the Blue-9 Reflective Balance Harness with six-point adjustment and multiple leash attachment areas. He is seen at night thanks to the reflective feature of the harness and matching leash. Highly recommended!
Snuffle Mat for Busy Fun
Luft Pet Snuffle Mat
Foraging fun for dogs
This snuffle mat from Luft Pets is one of my favorite enrichment finds. It entertains dogs, encourages natural foraging, and even helps slow down speedy eaters. The detachable lick mat adds extra fun, and the whole thing is lightweight, washable, and stable thanks to its anti-slip base. A perfect, affordable gift for dogs who love to use their noses.
Brain Games for Dogs
Nina Ottosson Challenge Slider Game
Fun and enrichment for dogs level 3
The Nina Ottosson Challenge Slider is a fantastic enrichment toy for dogs who love a mental workout. With 24 hidden treat compartments and sliding pieces, it keeps pups like Sir Alvin busy, focused, and having fun while strengthening problem-solving skills. It’s durable, food-safe, and a great “level-up” puzzle for dogs ready for a bigger challenge. Oh and perfect for gifting.
Advanced Dog Brain Game
Tower of Treats Level 4 Game
Level 4 tower from Nina Ottosson
Sir Alvin went nose-to-nose and face-to-face with Nina Ottosson, one of our favorite people in the pet industry. Her latest offering is a level 4 brain game for dogs. Fill with treats, and have some patience as you teach your dog this fun, multi-level advanced game. Start slow and work your way through the layers.
Bonus: Nina Ottosson now offers healthy and perfectly sized treats for her dog games.
Everyday Dog Wellness Essentials
Good health is what we all long for, including our dogs. This category highlights practical wellness picks that support your dog’s daily health, from coat and skin care to digestion, mobility, and overall comfort. These are the go-to essentials dog parents reach for again and again to help their pups feel their best.
Paw, Nose, and Fold Cream for Dogs
ZYMOX Funky Paws
The first enzyme-based cream for paws, noses & more
We are long-time fans and users of ZYMOX products and are excited about their new Funky Paws cream coming later this year. Combat stinky paws that emit a yeasty odor resembling corn chips caused by bacteria. Soothing itch and irritation while eliminating paw odor. We tried it person and love it so much! Here’s our review.
Probiotic for Digestive Health in Dogs
Nutramax Proviable Probiotic
Recommended by my vet
Sir Alvin has been taking a probiotic since puppyhood for proper digestive support. This veterinary-formulated probiotic from Nutramax supports daily digestive health with multiple beneficial bacteria strains and prebiotics to help your dog’s gut stay balanced, especially after changes in diet, travel, or stress. Sprinkle it over food once a day and ask your vet first.
Memorial Gift for Cocker Moms
ZYMOX Otic Enzymatic Ear Solution
My favorite treatment for ear infections
It’s rare we get ear infections these days, but when we know one is coming, I reach for this veterinary-formulated ear solution, which offers powerful support for dogs with irritated or sensitive ears. Featuring the patented LP3 enzyme system and hydrocortisone (1%), it works without harsh antibiotics to help relieve discomfort, itching, and inflammation. Plus my vet recommended it to us.
Say Goodbye to Fleas and Ticks
Our Favorite Natural Preventatives
We swear by these products
If you are not fond of chemicals on dogs, I can relate. What works for one dog may not work for another. A dog who spends a lot of time walking through the woods or going on trails in Connecticut is more at risk of ticks than a dog who spends her time inside with very little outdoor interaction. Here’s what we like:

Keep Track of Your Dog’s Health
DogMinder Journal/Tracker
Ideal for every dog
I created the DogMinder for pet parents to track their dog’s health and wellness in writing. There is plenty of space for veterinary visits, notes, tracking medications, and much more. A great way to kick off a new year!
Must-Haves For All Dogs
Book lovers, unite. I love staying educated on how best to help my Cocker Spaniels live their best lives. Here are a collection of some of my favorite dog books.
Throw Away All Your Lint/Hair Removers
Chom Chom Roller Pet Hair Remover
The last pet hair remover you’ll need
I am obsessed with this pet hair remover. No more lint sheets. No more sticky tape. Simply roll back and forth along any surface to trap fur and lint into the built-in receptacle. When you’re all done, just press down on the release button to open the dog hair remover and empty it out completely.
Our Favorite Dog Bandanas
K and Co Bandanas
My favorite canine bandanas
Not every dog loves clothes, and even the ones who do still look great in Kirby and Co (K and Co) bandanas. They are custom made, have snaps, and you can even have your dog’s name placed on this double-sided design. A must-have; Sir Alvin has too many to count #sorrynotsorry
Waterless Dog Dry Shampoo
Pride and Groom Waterless Foam
Rinse-free cleanse and odor eliminator
This product is on Oprah’s Favorites year after year, and I can totally understand why. We are obsessed. Cleanse, refresh, and deodorize your dog’s coat without water. Extend the life of a groom or freshen up a coat between baths with this waterless dog shampoo. I love it for cleaning dirty paws after walks, too.
Have Dog, Will Travel
K&H Pet Products Pet Carrier
Sir Alvin’s favorite travel carrier
I’ve been using this travel carrier for years and highly recommend it from K&H. With five easy access doors, this soft-sided travel carrier buckles securely into your car using your car’s seat belt, and for added stability, the top strap adjusts tightly around the headrest, ensuring your dog seat stays securely in place.
Our Favorite Dog Bed
Best Friends Donut Bed
Many colors and sizes for all dogs
We love this dog bed so much that we have two.
With its plush donut shape, raised rim for nuzzling, and cozy faux-fur material, it creates a soothing spot where the pup can feel safe and relaxed. It’s ideal for dogs who seek a soft zone to curl into after play, and a wonderful “treat-your-dog” gift that also looks stylish in your living space.
