Kong Champz review

Check out our video review of the dog toy, Kong Champz.

Overall I did really like this toy.  I think this would be a great toy for a dog who is a regular chewer.  Ahsoka (who's now just over 1 year old) is a very heavy chewer.  She's still a puppy and has a LOT of energy.  When new toys come into our house, they generally don't last very long in her mouth.  I think this toy actually held up fairly well for a heavy chewer.  The stuffing came out in about 1-2 weeks but the canvas outside seems to hold up well.  You could easily even re-stuff and re-sew the toy back together if you wanted.  Ours are currently husks, but she does still play with them sometimes.

Kong Phatz Toy Review

Check out our video review of the hippo toy, Kong Phatz.

This toy is definitely NOT for heavy chewers!  Our puppy Ahsoka just turned one year old. She has always been a heavy chewer and tends to destroy toys pretty quickly.  Because of this, we did some research and purchased some new toys that are supposed to hold up to heavy chewing.  This toy definitely does not hold up.  Ahsoka completely destroyed this toy in about 2 weeks.  I would not recommend this toy.

Ruffwear Dog Backpack Review

Check out our review of our favorite dog backpack, Ruffwear.

If your dog has a lot of extra energy, adding a backpack to your walk can help wear them out and can also help them focus because they have a "job."  A dog backpack is also very helpful for hiking and events because your dog can help carry water and other essentials. I absolutely love the Ruffwear dog backpack.  It fits well, sits properly on the dog, and does not inhibit the dog's movement (unlike most other types of backpacks).

Zuke's Product Review

Today we are reviewing the product:  Zuke's Training Treats.  For this review we tried two different flavors, Wild Rabbit & Chicken.  When it comes to choosing a flavor for your dog treats, it is really ultimately best to pick whatever flavor your dog enjoys most.  I recommend buying a few different flavors.  Try one flavor for awhile, then try the other.  If your dog tends to like a particular flavor better, they will generally be more excited about that treat.
Zuke's are one of my all time favorite treats for training.  The "mini" size is perfect.  If you do have a small dog or small dog puppy, I would even recommend breaking this treat in half so we do not upset the small dog's tummy.  Full grown medium sized dogs and larger can use the treat as is.

Overall Such Good Dogs would give Zuke's treats 5 STARS.  They are fantastic.  They are healthy, made in the United States, and they are the perfect size for training.  I highly recommend trying Zuke's treats for your dogs.

Antlerz Dog Bones

I had repeatedly been hearing about this amazing new dog chew bone called "Antlerz."  This is a real deer or elk antler for dog chewing.  After hearing so many of my clients talking about it, I decided to try them myself.  As far as a chew toy goes, I give it a very high rating.  My dogs both enjoyed the Antlerz bone and became very engaged in chewing it.  It is a very healthy bone for dogs as well, since there is nothing artificial added to the product; it is just straight up Antler Bone. This bone does splinter into very small pieces after a while, however, and I would therefore not recommend it for aggressive chewers.  Otherwise, I would highly recommend this chew for your pup.  Great product, fairly inexpensive, it lasts a good amount of time, and they come in many different sizes.

We got one of the larger sizes for our dogs.

Caravaggio very much enjoyed his!

The bone is getting smaller.

Both my dogs very much enjoyed their Antlerz bones.  I would say the bones lasted about two weeks for Caravaggio and Nekita.  Both of my dogs enjoy bones and chew them fairly quickly.  

Depending on your dog's level of chewing, your bone may last a lot longer.
