March Super Chewer BarkBox Dog Toys

Octopuppy Spynoculars Dog Toy ($14 retail value) A spy’s tools should be indestructible, like this super tough dog toy. It’s made from durable rubber and is dishwasher safe. The textured design is perfect for chewing, but it’s super heavy, so don’t let your pup fling it at you or drop it on your feet. Ouch.

Crack + Snack Decoder Dog Toy ($12 retail value) This interactive dog toy is a treat dispenser designed like a decoder gadget. Speaking of cracking the code, be sure to go to the end of this post for our Free Month BarkBox Coupon Code just for readers!

March Super Chewer BarkBox Dog Treats

Pig and Let Pie Dog Treats ($8 retail value) These Apple and Maple Bacon Dog Treats are Daisy tested and approved! As with all BarkBox treats, these are made in the USA with wholesome ingredients.

The Yam with the Golden Yum Dog Treats ($8 retail value) Loving how creative the spy movie-themed names are for this month’s Super Chewer treats! Sweet potato is one of Daisy’s favorites, so we are saving them for nail-clipping day as an extra reward!

Jones Natural Chews K9 Bacon Roll ($5 retail value) This extra long chew stick is made from 100% pork skin. A crispy, crunchy snack for your extreme chewer.

Duck and Mango Dog Chew ($4 retail value) Made with turmeric and coconut along with mango and duck, this chew stick is softer so it can be broken into pieces and rationed if you don’t want your pup to eat the whole thing at once.

In addition to the great toys and treats, this spy-themed box came with a confidential dossier. I can’t give away ALL the details but the file folder included some really fun extra activities and interactive photo props. There’s instructions on how to pick your dog’s secret identity along with a disguise kit for making a fake photo ID.

 

There’s also info on the back about dog toy and treat safety and a number to call if you need help customizing future BarkBoxes for your dog.

Every Super Chewer BarkBox includes free toy replacement and a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so you can feel completely confident that you and your dog will be totally happy with every item you receive.

How to Choose a Really Great Dog Bed for a Really Big Dog

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

If you’ve got a big dog, then you know that a regular, cheap dog bed won’t last and won’t provide the support they need. Buying a big dog bed is an investment, so we’ve done some research and we are really impressed with one company in particular. Big Barker is a US-based company that makes ultra high-quality dog beds designed especially for large, extra large, and HUGE dogs.

If you’ve got a Labrador, a Golden Retriever, Husky, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Doberman, Newfoundland, Mastiff, Great Dane, Irish Wolfhound or other large dog breed then you will want to learn more about these large dog beds. If you’ve got two dogs who like to sleep in the same bed, or an older dog with orthopedic issues then you might also want to check out Big Barker dog beds.

How to choose the right size and style big dog bed

The Big Barker beds are all made in the USA with 7″ of American Made therapeutic foam and all come with a 10 year warranty covering flattening and shape, so it’s almost a no-brainer, but there are still a couple of decisions to make before getting one.

First, determine the size bed your dog needs. These beds come in Large, Extra Large and Giant. See the size chart above or use this link for more detailed information.

Next decide if your dog would prefer a dog bed with a bolster headrest or one that is completely flat. Our dog Daisy likes her flat dog bed and often hangs her head over the side when she sleeps, but also likes using the sofa arm rest as a head rest sometimes, so I’m thinking of getting her a second bed with a bolster so she can have both options.

Finally, choose a color. This is mostly a personal preference based on what you like and what color dog bed compliments your home decor. Practically speaking, also think about how much your dog sheds and what color their fur is.

All of the Big Barker bed covers are washable, but in-between washing some dog hair is going to show, so take that into account. Replacement bed covers are also available, so you can switch colors if you like.

They also offer optional Waterproof Dog Bed Liners designed to fit whatever bed you get, as well as SUV Dog Beds and Crate Pads for large dogs.

My Life Among the Underdogs: A Memoir by Tia Torres (Pit Bulls & Parolees)

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

We are HUGE fans of Tia Torres and her pack from Animal Planet’s hit show Pit Bulls & Parolees, and are super excited to get our paws on her new memoir My Life Among the Underdogs. It’s a behind the scenes look at her life, her dogs, and her program that pairs parolees with rescue dogs.

Tia has devoted her life to shattering the stereotype that pit bulls are dangerous, vicious predators. As the top dog at the Villalobos Rescue Center in New Orleans, the largest pit bull rescue in the United States, she and her team have rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed hundreds of animals that might otherwise have been destroyed. As she puts it, “Most of the stories in this book are about animals (and a few humans) that needed someone to believe in them and a purpose in order to show their true nobility.”

Meghan Markle’s Rescue Beagle Has a New Book!

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Everyone loves an underdog story. Sure, Meghan Markle was a successful woman and celebrity in her own right before marrying Prince Harry, but she always seemed ‘just like us’ to me. Because she’s so relatable, her story is like something out of a fairy tale. And now Meghan Markle’s dog Guy has published his own fairy tale!

His Royal Dogness, Guy the Beagle: The Rebarkable True Story of Meghan Markle’s Rescue Dog has just been released in hardcover and we were super excited to get our paws on an early copy so that we could tell you all about it.

Like all good fairy tales, Guy’s begins in the backwoods of Kentucky. He was lost and living alone until he met his forever owner at an adoption event; her name was Meghan Markle. They did everything together: went on walks, played fetch, and binge-watched Suits. Guy absolutely adored her, but he wasn’t the only one. A human loved Meghan, too; his name was Harry. Tall and debonair with hair the color of a traffic cone, Harry was also a prince.

Guy soon finds himself in London, ecstatic about this new adventure. He works hard to fit in to the royal dog way of life, but he struggles. He has no fancy papers, no high-class education, and no command over the British puparazzi. As Meghan and Harry’s wedding day approaches, Guy feels as alone and desperate. But when the Queen gets into a bind when a royal tradition is nearly forgotten, Guy’s backwoods Kentucky skills might be able to save the day. With the Queen’s encouragement, Guy learns the true meaning of family—even if it’s a royal one.

This is a cute, funny and heartwarming book for dog lovers of all ages, and makes the perfect holiday gift. Daisy is a rescue dog too, so Guy the Beagle’s story is especially touching.

Grinch Super Chewer Box Review + Holiday Deal

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

We found ourselves feeling Grinchy already, even with Christmas still several weeks away. The perfect antidote to the holiday doldrums is the box of goodness that is Daisy’s monthly delivery of Super Chewer toys and treats. In case you hadn’t already heard of it, Super Chewer is a dog box subscription service designed especially for dogs who are toy destroyers and extreme chewers.

It’s a monthly delivery of the most durable dog toys and extra long-lasting treats, customized for your dog’s size and food allergies.

Every Super Chewer Box includes $45+ worth of dog stuff:

  • 2 Extremely durable dog toys (plus free toy replacement)
  • 2 Full-size bags of natural dog treats (made in USA)
  • 2 long-lasting meat chews (made in USA)
  • Free US Shipping
  • Satisfaction Guarantee (Scout’s Honor)

Every month’s Super Chewer Box has a different theme, and this month’s theme is The Grinch. It’s a special limited-edition box that’s still available as of this writing, so I’ll keep things brief so you can get right to it if you want to snag one for your dog!

Here’s a look at what was in the November Super Chewer BarkBox along with the retail values of each item if purchased separately:

November Super Chewer BarkBox Dog Toys
  • Fred the Reindeer Dog Toy ($14 retail value) A super tough and durable squeaky toy made of natural rubber. For outdoor play, the bright orange would make it easy to see in the snow…or in our case, the sand. Daisy ran off with this one as soon as I unwrapped it, but I’ll try to take a photo later of how CUTE it is!
  • Grinch’s Sleigh Dog Toy ($14 retail value) Also made of natural rubber and super strong, with a durable nylon rope for tug and a squeaker in the body of the sleigh. I’m actually saving this one as a stocking stuffer for Daisy on Christmas eve.

November Super Chewer BarkBox Dog Treats
  • Roast Beast Deliciously Wicked Duck Dog Treats ($8 retail value) Duck is one of Daisy’s favorites, and I LOVE the Grinchy treat bag! As with all Bark dog treats, these are made in the USA with natural ingredients, free from soy, wheat and other stuff dogs shouldn’t have. You can customize your dog’s plan based on any food allergies, which is just one of the many things we love about having this subscription.
  • Roast Beast Chew On This Pork Dog Treats ($8 retail value) These have pork as the protein and flavor.  Who could argue with that? Not Daisy! She loves bacon, ham, basically anything with pork, but we don’t let her eat too much people food so these are the perfect holiday treat for her instead.
  • Plato Pet Treats Thinkers Salmon Dog Chew Stick X 2  ($6 retail value) There are always full-size meat chews in every month’s Super Chewer box, and Plato makes some of our favorites. This time it’s a double batch of their salmon treat sticks, yay! Called Thinkers because this dog snack is packed full of DHA and Omega-3 fatty acid famous for its cognitive benefits. This treat is true brain food.
  • Plato Pet Treats Duck Stick ($3 retail value) Another of our favorite treats from one of our favorite brands. Although we like surprises, we never tire of getting these in our Super Chewer box.
The Grinch Limited Edition Max Antlers for Your Dog to Wear

Daisy is feeling pretty Grinchy having to model the special Max Antlers that were included in this month’s Super Chewer box. We always LOVE the little extra surprises and bonus items that their folks dream up for each month’s theme. This one is the perfect photo prop for Instagram, and making some Grinch edition photo cards for Christmas if I can find the time.

The Grinch box is still available and there’s a special offer if you hurry and order here soon!
