Dog Gear Review (2024)

19/12/2024

What are your plans for the holiday break (if you have one)? 🎄

I am looking forward to some well-needed reflection time, hopefully paired with long hikes. 😊 At the end of the year, I always try to slow down and rethink my priorities, and goals as so much can change within 12 months.
It is also a good time to have a high-level plan on what type of collaborations we would like to focus on next year. Got any ideas? 🤓

My regular day work got really busy lately but I am slowly catching up with photo editing, answering emails and messages, and have a couple reviews on the way as well 😉

I loved this photoshoot of the Non-stop dogwear Rush Harness. 😊

This is a light harness with a length between their Line and Freemotion harnesses. Quick and easy to put on with two buckles on the sides so it's great for gear-shy dogs or dogs just starting pulling sports.
Also suitable for everyday walks. 😉

It's a bit hard to show the fit on photos exactly because it is so light that it tend to ride up without leash pressure. I will need to take a few photos when she pulls a bit to prove that it actually has a great armpit clearance on Zulu. 😅

What do you do to "winterize" car setups? 🧐

The cold weather arrived in our area recently so Zu got an extra blanket or two so she can snuggle in her car crate and we reached the season when she is traveling wearing a base layer as the back of the car can stay significantly cooler than the front and she has thin hair and no body fat to keep her warm.

It is super helpful to have a temperature monitor back by the crate even in the winter months - I was really surprised how much colder it can get back there even when I am comfy in the driver's seat.

Crate: Thule Allax
Baselayer: Hurtta Razzle-Dazzle Midlayer

We received the FidaPet No Pull Harness for some testing and review! 😉

It is made of 900D Nylon Oxford fabric, plastic buckles, and thick padding. It has a built-in p**p bag dispenser, reflective lining all around, a padded handle, a no-pull front attachment, and hidden saddlebags inside the zippered section (photos on this coming soon)!🤓

Have you seen the new Trekking dog bed from Non-stop dogwear ? 👀

It's lightweight but insulated and durable. Packs up pretty small so you can use it as a travel mat or for hiking/camping trips!😉

Received a new tracker to test from PAJ GPS 😎

The PAJ PET Finder is a cell-based (4G) tracker so it comes with a subscription but it should work globally, not like other options that are limited to certain countries!👌

It offers live tracking, a Battery saving zone, activity, and routine tracking, and up to 5 days of battery life. It also has a sound feature for recall training, an LED light option, safety zones, and geofence alerts. 😉

Interested?

The Axaeco Harness X-Run review is up on the website! 😊

This harness is lightweight but durable which is great for gear shy dogs like Zu! Its length is between a long and a short harness on purpose to combine the best of both words and distribute the pressure on the chest while pulling without covering the dog's back. 😊

If you want to read how it worked for us, head over to our website to check its review where we discuss the fit, design, and materials in more detail! 👇😎

Non-stop dogwear's newest backpack is here! 😎

The Trail Light Backpack is lightweight, waterproof, and has a breathable base that uses the HexiVent material (same as the Rock and Rock Long Harnesses) to help with airflow and quick drying under the backpack. 👌
It has two large pockets and additional bungee cords on the side/top for more storage if needed. 😉

In the US it is only available in XS at the moment but it should be stocked up soon.

What do you think? 🤓

The reversible Hurtta Razzle-Dazzle Midlayer is a fleece jacket that can be used as a standalone sweater or as a base layer under another coat! 😉

I love all the smart adjustment points that will really help to fine-tune the fit for dogs with awkward ratios - like Zulu. 👏 You can adjust the back length, waist circumference, and even the collar to tailor the fit as needed. It doesn't have a zipper or buckle so you just pull it over the head and legs.

The front section has overlapping layers with a cut-up design between them so it covers the shoulders without restricting their movement. 😉

Super excited to finally have the chance to review the Hurtta Extreme Warmer coat - specifically the Extreme Warmer III Eco! 😉

This is my first time using Hurtta winter coats and I am incredibly impressed with its quality, and the smart adjustment points that will really help to fine-tune the fit for dogs with awkward ratios like Zulu 👏

Have you used the Extreme Warmer or its previous versions? How did you like it?🙂

Some thoughts on Thule's new crash-tested Allax crate:

✅It was super easy to assemble
✅ Provides great airflow (also good in winter so Zulu is not cold in the back of the car)
✅Has an adjustable length to fit different dogs/cars (not the same as its crumple zone for accidents)
✅ Comes with a lockable door, and an emergency exit on the back so you can access it even if you cannot open the tailgate.

⚠️Remember that this crate needs to sit in the cargo area, pushed against the back of the last row of seats for safety so you cannot just put the seats down to fit a bigger crate.

What do you think? 🙂
I can't wait to use it more and then write its review in a few months!

The Rocky Mountain Paw Protection Doccasin Leather Dog Booties are unique because they do not have velcro straps, zippers, or any buckles - instead, they come with a shoe horn that we use to slide on the elastic neoprene cuffs! 😲😎

The wide elastic section keeps the boots in place and more evenly applies pressure than tightening a strap that helps prevent chafing, especially for dogs with dewclaws. 🤓

These boots are best to protect paws on summer hikes or from hot pavements but they also have all-weather booties as well.

What do you think? Would you try it? 😁

Non-stop dogwear Trekking Fleece review is up on the website!😎

The Trekking Jacket is made from a soft yet durable fleece fabric and is reinforced at the spots where higher tear and wear are expected. It is designed to cover the dog’s large muscle groups and provides warmth without restricting movement. 😉

The fit of his jacket is highly adjustable by two elastic cinch points, the chest strap, and the popper adjustments offering two settings above the tail. The elastic and wide leg straps ensure that the back of the coat stays in place and doesn't flip up even in strong wind. 👌

There are small reflective tabs added to the coat for visibility in low-light conditions and there is a leash opening on the back so it can be used over a harness as well. 😉

Moodboard of a rainy morning 🌧😊

The KuoriPomppa is Pomppa Dogwear's new waterproof shell jacket designed to keep your dog dry without making them too hot. It has all the cool features like an adjustable neckline, adjustable & removable leg straps, a harness opening and it is 100% made of recycled materials! 😊

The Wool Jacket review is up on the website!😊

This coat is made with a mix of merino wool and polyester to provide warmth and dry quickly. It is a thinner base layer/sweater designed to have a big coverage over the main muscle groups. It has a leg loop, multiple adjustment points, and a harness opening as well!👌

We are testing a new temperature monitor and loving it so far!😉

The Necto Cellular Temperature Monitor comes with two years of cellular service included and works through AT&T, T-Mobile, and Cellular One networks which provides pretty good coverage!👏

You can set the temperature and humidity range and it send you notifications where there is anything to be concerned about.

It can be used in an RV (or any other space_ while plugged in but it also offers up to 72 hours run time on its rechargeable battery. 😎

Have you used it? How did it work for you? 🙂

Also, any technology can fail, so having a temperature monitor still doesn't mean that dogs can be left unattended in a locked car on a hot day.

The Black Lab Brands Trailblazer bed review is up on the website! 😊

This is a waterproof, odor-resistant, and durable mat that can handle scratching and digging! It can be rolled up for storage and it's easy to carry with the detachable handle (that can also double as a leash!) 👌

The material is so sturdy and easy to clean that I don't need to worry about it, and it is padded enough to keep Zu comfortable. 😉

Since Non-stop dogwear came out with the Rush harness, we keep getting questions about how it compares to the Line/Freemotion harness and when to use which one so I wrote a detailed article on the topic! 😉

https://doggearreview.com/article/nonstoprushvslinevsfreemotionharness/

The short version is:

✨ Rush Harness – This ultralight harness is designed for everyday adventures, especially if your dog tends to pull. Using light materials also means that this harness is a lot less padded than the Line or the Freemotion.

✨ Freemotion Harness 5.0 – This long-pulling harness is built to keep your dog comfortable even during long, intense pulling sessions. It is heavily padded so it stays in place very well.

✨ Line Harness 5.0 – A versatile harness for loose-leash walks, trekking, hikes, and free running - or running with dogs who only pull lightly. With multiple leash attachment points, it can adapt to any situation and the thick padding ensures it stays in place very well.

Check out the article on the website and let me know if you still
have any questions! 😉
