My recommendations
This page is for dog owners seeking recommendations for all things relating to dogs. Explore my curated selection of doggy essentials, including fashionable + functional dog brands, treats, my favourite dog gear and the very best (in my opinion) small businesses.
All recommendations are my own and I will make sure it is clearly stated if sponsored :)

Django & Co
A small business in Aotearoa, New Zealand that make the most stunning dog ID tags, raw leather collars with forward-facing hardware (take a look at their website to understand what I mean) and more! I own one of their collars, a lead, a cute toy and many different doggy ID tags - including tags that I use especially for the pups I look after.

RUFFWEAR
My top pick for all-round dog harnesses. Super sturdy with quality materials! Great for those who love an adventure.
