🗣️ Comment below and tell us: What’s the craziest thing your dog has ever eaten? 🤔👀
We’ll go first: Last week we heard a story where someone's dog ate a toy dinosaur. No surgery was required as the dinosaur found the exit. We're pretty sure, however, that it wasn't a stegosaurus. 🦕💩

We all love walking our dogs, but it’s not without its worries! Here are the top 5 fears dog owners face and how you can prevent them to make every walk safer and more enjoyable. 💪🐕
1️⃣ Fear: Dog Running Away or Getting Loose
Prevention: Always use a secure, well-fitted leash and collar/harness. Teach reliable recall commands and stick to safe, enclosed areas for off-leash play. Regular leash training builds confidence too!
2️⃣ Fear: Encountering Aggressive Dogs
Prevention: Stay alert and avoid unfamiliar or unleashed dogs. Cross the street if needed, and use a short leash in high-traffic areas. Carry dog deterrent spray or an air horn for extra safety.
3️⃣ Fear: Dog Injured by Sharp Objects
Prevention: Check walking paths for debris or sharp objects. Booties can protect your dog's paws, and regular paw inspections post-walk help prevent injuries.
4️⃣ Fear: Dog Eating Something Toxic
Prevention: Train your dog with "leave it" and "drop it" commands. Keep them close in areas with unknown plants or food on the ground. OutFox Field Guard can also be a safe option for dogs who tend to scavenge.
5️⃣ Fear: Overheating or Dehydration
Prevention: Walk during cooler parts of the day and always carry water for both you and your dog. Take frequent breaks and watch for signs of heatstroke, such as excessive panting or drooling.

🌿 Outdoor Dangers for Dogs in Australia: How to Keep Them Safe 🇦🇺
Australia's beautiful landscapes are home to some hidden hazards for our dogs such as:
1. Foxtails & Grass Seeds – These can pe*****te a dog’s skin, nose, ears, and paws, causing painful injuries and infections.
2. Rocks & Sharp Objects – Jagged rocks, broken glass, and sharp sticks on trails can lead to cuts and injuries.
3. Trailside Trash – Discarded food, plastic wrappers, and other trash can be hazardous if ingested or stepped on.
4. Poisonous Mushrooms – Some wild mushrooms are toxic to dogs and can cause serious health issues if consumed.
5. 1080 Poison (Sodium Fluoroacetate) – A potent pesticide used for pest control in Australia, dangerous if dogs ingest baits left in the wild.
6. Insects & Spiders – Bites from venomous spiders, bees, or ants can lead to allergic reactions and other health issues.
7. Snakes – Venomous species like brown snakes and tiger snakes pose a significant threat, especially in warmer months.
8. Ticks – Bush and grass areas may harbor ticks that can transmit deadly diseases like paralysis.

Top 5 Risks for Dogs in Open Fields & How to Avoid Them
Letting your dog explore open fields is a great way for them to burn energy, but it comes with some hidden risks. Here’s how to keep your pup safe:
Foxtails: These sharp seeds can lodge in your dog’s fur, nose, or paws, causing infections. Gear up with the and always check your dog after walks.
Ticks & Fleas: Tall grass can be home to pests. Use flea/tick preventatives, dress your dog in light-colored protective gear, which can make it easier to spot ticks before they latch on. And do a post-walk check to spot any hitchhikers.
Wildlife: Encounters with coyotes, snakes, or even deer can be dangerous. Keep your dog on a leash or close by in wildlife areas.
Allergens: Fields are full of pollen and plants that can trigger allergies. Rinse or wipe down your dog after each outing to keep them comfortable.
Heatstroke & Dehydration: Fields can get hot fast! Walk during cooler parts of the day and carry water to keep your dog hydrated and cool.
With the right precautions, you and your dog can safely enjoy the outdoors! 🐶🌿

We’re thrilled to share a wonderful testimony from one of our valued customers -their experience truly captures what we're all about.
Here's what they had to say:
Dear Out Fox for Dogs,
We have two 10 months old American Eskimo dogs who eat everything in the yard. Thankfully nothing worse than vomiting episodes and dehydration. But that was enough for us to look for something that will help.
It has been about 4 weeks since we started using the "hoodie" and our lives have changed. We no longer worry about what the pups are getting into and pups have taken to the hoodies like ducks to water. They can do everything except eat things!
A huge thanks to you and Diane who made the hoodies happen!
Best regards!

🐾 Does your dog have a habit of eating things they shouldn't? 🐾
We know how frustrating and concerning it can be when our furry friends eat things that aren't good for them, especially p**p 💩. That’s why we’re excited to share a testimonial from one of our happy pawrent who found the perfect solution with the OutFox Field Guard!
/////////////////////////////////////
Hello!
I am reaching out because I really wanted to share how helpful and impactful the Outfox has been for mine and my dog's quality of life.
She has fairly severe compulsive pica, and she will obsessively eat p**p, sticks, grass, and other things that are incredibly dangerous to her. She is very persistent and had been able to take off any muzzle I've had her wear prior to the Outfox, even with tons of positive muzzle training. We are working with a veterinary behaviorist and going through medication trials for this which have been helpful but take a long time to help, and have limits to how helpful they can be. Exercising her outdoors every day was completely exhausting and scary with her behavior problems, I was constantly afraid she was going to really hurt herself.
Once I found the Outfox, I felt like we had a brand new life. I can take her off leash hiking every day and give her so much freedom that I had never been able to give her before! She is way more comfortable wearing the Outfox than any other muzzle and she wears it quite happily whenever outside. She can romp around, run, swim, and play with other dogs all while wearing her Outfox! I can actually relax and enjoy being outdoors with my dog every day without being in a constant state of panic about her really hurting herself. I also feel the Outfox has really helped us give her behavior medications the best chance to work because it prevents her from getting into these unhealthy obsessive patterns of finding things to eat.
I feel really grateful this product exists, it's been a complete lifesaver. And as a fun bonus, it keeps all the foxtails out of her face/ears, and keeps her from being stung by bees in the face (she is very allergic to bees)!
Thanks so much for making this product, it's been so so helpful for us. ❤🐕

For years, Diane enjoyed hiking with her dogs in the open spaces and parks in the Bay Area where foxtails are prevalent during much of the year; however, with their fun and adventure came the risk of dangerous foxtail injuries for her dogs.
After her dogs’ many painful experiences of getting foxtails in their eyes, ears, and noses and after numerous trips to the vet, Diane was determined to find a way to keep her dogs safe on their hikes. She knew the solution would be something that would shield her dogs’ faces—something to act as a barrier against foxtails. Using her technical design experience, she invented the OutFox® Field Guard and made it available to the public in 2010.
Top Priority - Comfort and Protection
As Diane’s top priority was to make a guard that would be as comfortable as possible for dogs, she thoughtfully designed every aspect of the Field Guard with meticulous care and detail—from the color, to the material, to the form. Her idea was to create a black mesh hood that covers and protects the dog’s entire head. She chose the color black because it is the easiest to see through while also serving as a sunshade. After a long search for the perfect material for comfort and function, she finally found a mesh that was non-abrasive and held its shape well. She placed all of the seam edges on the outside of the guard so the dog would have the smoothest side of the hood next to its head. Diane also made the guard large enough so that it would touch the dog as little as possible. An elasticized opening made it easy for owners to slip the Field Guard on and off without having to adjust it every time.
Convinced she had done all she could to make the Field Guard comfortable, Diane tested the prototypes on her dog Iris as they went on a hike during foxtail season, and though it looked unusual, Iris seemed perfectly comfortable. In fact, she was so comfortable that she ran over to the water bowl after the hike and drank right through the hood without even noticing she was wearing it! Diane was thrilled because it proved the Field Guard was comfortable and didn’t restrict Iris’s usual activities.
Though she continues to get lots of comments and curious looks from people who’ve never seen a dog wearing the OutFox® Field Guard and don’t know what it is, Diane hasn’t had to take her dogs to the vet for foxtail removal since they’ve been wearing the Field Guard!
Ten years later, thousands of dogs worldwide are now enjoying more freedom because they are wearing the OutFox® Field Guard—and thousands of happy owners are enjoying peace of mind. Diane couldn’t be happier to make this possible!
