Brands We Worked With
Helping dog owners make informed decisions through unbiased product reviews and educational articles since 2018
We started Dog Gear Review after realizing how hard it is to find in-depth, unbiased reviews and guides for different product categories. We understand the challenges of finding reliable information and aim to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each product to help dog owners make informed decisions. We believe that the needs of every dog and owner are unique, and our goal is to help you find the best gear for your dog.

Floating dog toys play a crucial role in ensuring that water-loving dogs can safely enjoy retrieving objects without the risk of swallowing excessive water, a common issue with larger balls. When choosing a floating toy, it’s essential to consider its visibility and buoyancy, as these factors help dogs easily locate and retrieve the toy in the water.
Generally, don’t leave dogs in the car on warm days if avoidable. This is something that’s repeated on every platform, every summer, and still, many dogs die in cars every year. Cars heat up fast, and dogs can overheat quickly, even on a day that doesn’t feel hot.
When it comes to our dogs, ensuring their safety during walks or outdoor adventures should be our main priority. One crucial aspect of safety is selecting the right gear - especially for dogs who lunge or get scared easily and try to slip out of their harness/collar. However, sometimes it is hard to know which dog harness is the right choice as many of them claim to be escape-proof.
There is a strong pushback against using collars, while most people don’t know about the risks of using a poorly fitted/sized harness. Many seem to think that any Y-harness is safe for dogs, which is not true - especially if the goal is to use it for pulling sports. The unpopular truth is that a poorly fitting or designed harness can cause the same health problems or injuries as a dog pulling in a collar or while wearing a cross-shoulder harness.
