Dog muzzles often get a bad reputation. Some people assume dogs in muzzles are always aggressive while others think muzzles are inhumane. Yet, muzzles can be a great tool to protect dogs and those around them, as long as you use a properly fitted muzzle and positive association for your dog. However, a short snout dog muzzle isn’t as common as standard muzzles. My dog has a very short nose. I’ve considered getting her a muzzle to prevent her from eating gross things in the ya

As someone who regularly volunteers with dogs, a martingale collar is a tool I’m very familiar with. But recently, I realized that many people haven't heard of this product. Rather than being worn frequently like a regular collar, these collars are for special cases like training and containing escape artists. So, what is a martingale collar? And how do you use one?

People love Corgis. Their long bodies and short legs are adorable, so they’re a popular breed in pop culture. But whenever a breed gains popularity, that leads to more people wanting that breed. And a higher demand for a breed often leads to more sketchy breeders selling those dogs. So, whenever someone tells me they want a Corgi, I highly suggest Corgi rescue organizations. Can You Rescue a Corgi? Yes, you can absolutely rescue a Corgi. While they’re not one of the most comm

Some locations get extremely cold in the winter (unfortunately, I live in one of those places). If you’re shivering during colder months, your dog might be just as cold. Of course, some dogs are built for the cold with dense coats, but others are a lot more sensitive. I’ve found that dog pajamas are a cute way to help dogs stay warmer in the winter.

As the winter holidays approach, people often put together festive desserts for the occasion. Dogs love treats more than anyone, so they shouldn't have to miss out on that tradition.

As the weather gets colder, many people spread road salt across their sidewalks and steps to ensure nobody slips and falls. While sidewalk salt is a great way to protect humans, it’s not always safe for pets. Walking my dog in the winter is difficult because if she steps on certain salts, her paws get overly sensitive, making her not want to walk on that foot anymore. So, the perfect way to keep both people and pets safe in the winter is to use pet-safe sidewalk salt. Mutts A

There’s such a wide variety of dog walking gear out there. While attaching your dog’s leash to a harness instead of a collar can lead to less pressure around their neck, it doesn’t automatically help with proper leash training. Some dogs even pull more on a harness. So, to encourage good walking habits, you need to work on positive reinforcement training with your dog while walking. A front clip harness can help with that when used properly. Mutts About Pets is reader-support

Dogs and Pokemon are two of my favorite things. I have all kinds of Pokemon stuff, including clothing, stuffed animals, cards, and even a shower curtain. However, I surprisingly don’t have any Pokemon-themed pet products. That’s when I realized that I rarely see Pokemon pet supplies, which is surprising considering how popular the franchise is. So, what are some of the best Pokemon dog toys? Are there even that many available? Mutts About Pets is reader-supported. When you sh

A lot of people use the terms “reactive” and “aggressive” interchangeably. I know I used to when I was younger. Yet, after meeting a wide variety of dogs through work and volunteering, including reactive and aggressive ones, I’ve learned that those two words are more different than most people think. While some dogs can be both, many dogs are reactive without aggression. So, when it comes to reactive vs aggressive dogs, what’s the difference? What is a Reactive Dog? Cornell U

By now, most dog lovers know that puppy mills are bad. Yet, that hasn’t stopped these breeding businesses from existing and even thriving. I volunteer at table events where I help spread awareness about puppy mills, and I have had many people ask me “which states have banned puppy mills?” Unfortunately, the answer isn’t as uplifting as you’d think, but it’s important for us to know so we can make positive changes. This was one of my former foster dogs who came from a bad bree

Planning a dog-friendly vacation can be tricky. You need to focus on outdoor activities, but even then, not all outdoor events allow pets. Many big theme parks, such as Disney , Universal, and Six Flags, don’t allow dogs besides service dogs, but those are some of the most popular travel destinations. So, are there any dog-friendly amusement parks? And should your furry friend visit them? Do Dog-Friendly Amusement Parks Exist? Yes, you might be surprised to learn that there a

Disney is nicknamed “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” so it makes sense that you’d want to experience that magic with your furry friend. Even though I’m obsessed with both Disney and dogs, I’ve never thought about bringing my dog to Disney because I know it would be too much for her.

A lot of dogs have a high prey drive. While this can pose a challenge for dog parents, it’s a normal behavior for certain breeds. Having a high prey drive doesn’t have to be a negative thing, as long as the dog’s human can handle it. So, if you’re looking to get a dog, it’s important to familiarize yourself with dog breeds with high prey drive so you can find the best dog for your lifestyle. Remember that while certain breeds are more likely to display a high prey drive, ever
