We adopted our dog Gracie from the shelter, but you would have thought she came straight from the spa, the way she loves to be spoiled. Her pedigree was listed as “hound mix” but we like to call her a beagador to make her feel bougie.

Treat Yo'Mutt
We adore our sweet Gracie, even when she's acting like a demanding diva dog.
Gracie goes crazy over these nesting treat dispensers. They're versatile, too. You can use them as slow-feeders or licky mats.
West Paw makes the best toys--super durable--and they're even made of recycled material.

The good news is that if we ever need to clone Gracie, we'll have ample DNA source material. The bad news is that if I don't use the furminator on her, that source material is all over my couch and clothes.

A monthly box full of surprise treats and toys, with super-fun themes. It's all I'm sayin'.
If your dog is going to go ballistic every time UPS drives by, one of those boxes better occasionally be for them.
Gracie actually has five beds scattered around the house (don't judge me! ha) This one is her favorite for stretching out. Supportive, and she doesn't get hot.

Are these appetizing to me personally? No. But my dog is obsessed with these pork hide twists. She's an avid chewer, and most “long-lasting” treats last her a couple minutes at most. These actually take her awhile to gnaw her way through, they're aff...

One thing we quickly found out about dog ownership is that unexpected illnesses and vet care expenses will come up, no matter how sheltered they are. Pet insurance helps to take away the shock of those unplanned high veterinary bills that can pop up.
