Where did this idea came from? We are testing dog coats for a few years now - by the end of this season, we will have 18 coat reviews on our website! When reviewing, we usually pay attention to quality, material, durability, waterproofness, and freedom of movement, but the most important aspect, warmth, is hard to evaluate. Since Mia can't tell us if her back or chest is still cold while wearing the coat, we got a thermal camera to check them out!

We wrote an article before about the pros and cons of using boots for summer hikes, but we felt it’s time to talk about winter! ;) Does all dogs should have winter boots? There are many different reasons why it could be beneficial to get boots for your dog for the winter, but not all dogs and all trips require one.

When we talk about muzzling, many people with reactive/aggressive dogs say they would never muzzle their dog because they have to defend themselves in a fight.

For the sake of this article, we talk about dog-reactive and dog-aggressive dogs while we know there are plenty of other reasons to muzzle a dog.

What are these soft muzzles good for? This type of muzzle is also called a grooming/ textil/ fabric/ nylon muzzle. This style is fine to use for a few minutes long vet check, nail trim, or similar procedure where you are afraid your dog might nip. They are also great to bring with you for emergencies because they don't take up any space in your backpack and come in handy if your dog gets injured.
