You know when you put food into your dog’s bowl and he gobbles it up, swallowing half of it whole, as if it’s his last meal on earth?  Yeah, that’s not so good for his stomach.

Dogs that scarf down their food are often gassy, burpy, or pukey. Not to mention that fast eating also puts dogs at risk for a condition called bloat, or twisted stomach, which closes off the esophagus, reduces bloodflow to the stomach and other organs (including the dog’s heart, yikes!) and could kill the dog within hours.

Time to slow the F down, Fido. 

How can you help stop mealtimes from turning into a feeding frenzy? Somewhere between Kansas and a rainbow, we found the answer: The Emerald City Bowl.

This unique-shaped bowl turns your dog’s meal into a challenging game rather than a gorge-fest.  Not only is it mentally stimulating, but it also turns your dog into a happier, more civilized eater, encouraging him to slow down and actually enjoy his food.

The good news: The Emerald City Bowl is available now for terriers, hounds, retrievers…and your little dog, too.  

The bad news: Now you’ll have nobody else to blame for those farts.

Unleashed Life bowls are a stylish step above your average dog bowl.  With five striking designs, these sophisticated bowls are made to perfectly compliment any modern home.

What’s your style?

No worries. Give your dog a fresh new look for spring with a cool new patterned collar. 

Solid colors are great and all, but it’s time to mix it up with bright, bold, fun designs. These collars really make a statement. What does your dog’s collar say about you?

Does your dog stand a little taller than the rest of the world?  Maybe he needs a dog bowl that stands a little taller, too.

Elevated dog bowls encourage better eating posture and comfort; they reduce food and water gulping and can help keep your dog’s eating area cleaner, too. Many vets say these bowls are a great option for older dogs with arthritis, bad backs or other joint/muscular pain.

If you’re not a fan of elevated bowls, we’ve found plenty of stylish ground-level bowls, too!

Every dog has its quirks.  Maybe your dog has stinky breath.  Or his joints are getting a little creaky.  Or maybe he just needs to chill the heck out (Birdie and Mack, we’re looking at you).

No worries: Isle of Dogs™ has created delicious, 100% natural dog treats that address eight specific canine health & wellness needs, including bad breath, joint health, skincare and stress.

These dog treats are made with whole foods, fruits & veggies and other locally sourced ingredients – things we’d eat ourselves.  In fact, these treats were so tempting that a bunch of us tasted them, too!

These fuzzy, happy little dog toys are made right here in Minnesota. Each Fugly Friend is unique and handmade, with just the right amount of silliness to put a smile on your face and a wag in your dog’s tail.  Honestly, we have yet to see a dog that doesn’t love these toys.

They’re handcrafted from tightly woven Polartec® fleece, with a triple stitched seam. And since no fabric is 100% indestructible to some pups, there’s a plush heart hidden in each toy with a secret fortune on the outside and a Kong squeaker on the inside.

Poop bags: the unglamorous part of owning a dog. How many times a day does your dog go? Once? Twice? Three times (a lady)? 

Needless to say, dog owners go through an enormous amount of poop bags. That’s why it was incredibly important to us to find the best biodegradable bag out there. Because while you’re doing your part by picking up, you don’t want to fill up our landfills with plastic bags, either. That’s just crappy.

So we did a little research - and a lot of testing – and found a brand of poop bags that is 100% biodegradable, made with a renewable, natural plant-based material.  These bags stay strong enough to pick up the, um, largest jobs, but break down safely without any damage to our planet.

Like all of the products we feature on Domestic Beast, we’re proud to say that these bags are handpicked and personally tested by our team. These bags are the shit. And they work.

Which bags did we find?  Stay tuned…
