Keeping up with your dog’s dental health is one of the kindest acts you can do for baby. Dental disease isn’t only smelly — it can also be extremely painful both for your dog and your bank account. The Bye, Bye Dog Breath Dental Kit gives you the tools to keep your dog’s teeth gleaming and give her a reason to smile.
That’s because the kit includes our Bye, Bye Dog Breath Dental Sticks. These dual-layered chew sticks will help remove plaque and prevent tartar, which lead to dental disease, while the stick’s inner core keeps gums health and breath fresh. Your dog will be in chewing bliss while cleaning her own teeth.
Bye, Bye Dog Breath Dental Powder is the easiest way to support your dog’s dental health — just sprinkle it on your dog’s food. A little goes a long way as it’s packed with minerals to prevent plaque from forming and antioxidants like cranberry that target the bacteria that leads to dental disease.

5. Iconic Circular Wood Dog Lounge
For the home that could appear in the pages of an interior design magazine, check out the MiaCara Iconic Circular Wood Dog Lounge. The Covo dog lounge is a work of art that will elevate your home décor while giving your dog a cozy burrow for some fashionable snoozing.
Designed by architect and interior designer Uta Cossman, it’s made from bent walnut plywood in a shape that offers a protected space for dogs to nest. It’s super strong and easy to clean. It comes with a supportive, open cell foam cushion with removable, washable cover.
Both inner cushion and outer cover are machine washable. The inner foam cushion can be machine dried, or use the spin cycle to remove water and let air dry.

6. Slow Feeder Ceramic Dog Bowl
The Slow Feeder Ceramic Dog Bowl by Magisso is an elegant dog bowl that’s perfect for dogs who hoover their food. Studies have shown that eating too fast can lead to vomiting, choking, and worst of all, a serious condition called bloat.
Magisso has come up with an ingenious design that forces your dog to eat, shall we say, a bit more delicately, leading to better indigestion and healthier teeth. A three-dimensional bone or heart on the inside of the bowl is the trick as dogs have to eat around it.
The bowl is made from a special ceramic that minimizes bacteria and keeps food fresh and water cool. Just soak for 60 seconds to activate cooling, and your food and water will be fresh for hours. Available in three different sizes — XS/S, Medium and Large — and three different colors: Heavenly Blue, Blush and Ebony.
Price: $28-$49

9. Subscription Dog Food
With all the recalls on contaminated, commercial dog food, many dog parents have grown wary of even the highest rated wet and dry dog food. Even brands that are given the all clear contain unnecessary additives and preservatives.
While cooking for your dog is actually often less expensive than the highest quality commercial dog food, the problem is that many dog parents barely have time to cook for themselves and their family, let alone the dog. So how do you give your dogs the best food for them as well as food that they truly love?
The answer is subscription dog food. Brands like NomNomNow, The Farmer’s Dog, Ollie and PetPlate, do the home cooking for you, using human-grade food and fresh ingredients. It’s the modern answer to farm to table — for canines — for dog parents who just don’t have the time, or the confidence, to cook. There’s usually a variety of recipes, so you can rotate the protein while keeping your dog drooling for more. Meals are nutritionally complete with any needed supplements already added and delivered right to your front door, fully cooked. Put one package at a time in the refrigerator and freeze the rest. Just defrost overnight, spoon into your dog’s bowl, microwave for a few seconds to warm, and you’re done. Happy dog, happy dog parent, happy house.
Price: Depends on delivery and size of dog

10. Odin Dog Toy
Inspired by a Seattle couple’s love for their Corgi, Odin, these Up Dog Toys will keep your dog occupied for hours — and look good while doing it. Designed like an object de’art, it’s the one toy you won’t mind littering (or decorating) your floor.
The Odin is an interactive, treat-dispensing, toy with a modular design. You can attach two Odins together to change the shape and keep your dog interested. Treats go in the top and bottom flaps. The angular design makes the ball roll erratically as your dog pushes it and treats fall out. The rubber-like material it’s made from is easy on floors and on your dog’s teeth. Available in slate grey, emerald blue, rose quartz and light gray.
Price: $23
11. Bocce’s Bakery
Bocce’s Bakery is named after a somewhat rotund mutt named Bocce who was told at a veterinary checkup to lose some of his extra poundage. It was during this depressing vet visit that his human realized all the junk that was in his commercial food and treats — and decided to do better for Bocce.
Using only organic, natural ingredients, with Bocce as biscuit-taster, these treats are still baked by hand in small batches. Every flavor has even been giving Bocce’s paw of approval — and he even managed to slim down. The company is known for its yummy flavors like Peanut Butter and Bacon, Bedtime Tea and Banana Split.
The all-natural Holiday Assorted Box from Bocce’s Bakery contains some of their bestsellers: Mint Coco Chip, Shepherd’s Pie and Lumps of Coal.
Price is $15
