9 Have Your Dogs Gone Boating?
If your pooch's water bound this season, I've selected my seven favorite doggie life jackets on the market now. Just like people need a P.F.D. (personal flotation device), don't let your dog be without his C.F.D. (canine flotation device) whether in a boat, or if he happens to take a long walk — or flying leap — off a short pier! While some are for swimming and others for safety, all have a Read more
Treats: don't leave home without them. But, if your travels bring you by water, the risk of soggy yums enters the dining scene. Even though undiscerning pooches will still gobble them up, it's not as pleasant for owners to find these smushed in a pocket or sticking to a purse. I know, 'cause I've been there. Since boats and beaches can be wet and sandy, don't add in dirt to the equation with Read more
When your dog's outfield includes a water landing, you want to make sure your ball of choice not only floats but is visible for the catching and fetching. After all, the sport isn't fun when the game has to stop because the toy can't be located. The glow-in-the-dark (and in the daytime) Meteorlight ($10) uses an LED light to shine brightly in all surroundings. The standard size is perfect for Read more
This dog has definitely not gone off the deep end; in fact, he seems rather hesitant to even puppy paddle in the shallow looking water. However, what's a brainy pet to do when there's a ball in the horizon? The water looks pretty dingy so I can't say I blame him for this problem-solving technique — way to make a figurative splash while (not) making a literal one, smarty pooch! Read more
Ahh, Summer! To celebrate the warm season, we're dedicating this week to Wet 'n' Wild fun! Before I share the best boating tips, products, and more, I wanna hear your furry firsthand experiences onboard! Many dogs — like my pal's pup, Sam — looooove taking a watery ride, while others prefer the stability of solid ground. Have you ever tested your pets out? Have Your Dogs Gone Read more
Must be a nice life, spending the weekend on a boat in Portofino, Italy! These super swimmers set sail with some fashionable dads, (Domenico) Dolce and (Stefano) Gabbana. With special harnesses for easy lifting back onto the boat, the two retrievers look like pro swimmers and retrievers, naturally. The dogs took turns fetching this familiar item — a Kong! With a couple versions meant for Read more
I'm counting down the hours to Dog Day on the Bay! That's right, next Sunday we're boarding a big boat on a pet-friendly cruise around San Francisco. North's been all over the country, but he's only been on a ferry, never a swanky trip with a bow-wow buffet and "poop deck." Color him excited! Hopefully, he (and his pal, Samson) will be on their best behavior as the trip also includes people food Read more
How cute is Sam?! The Wheaten Terrier already found her sea legs thanks to this Outward Hound lifejacket . . . even though she's just a puppy. It's never too early.The insulated vest does double-duty as a flotation device to keep a dog's head above water when swimming or grab the easy handle for quick rescues should she take an unexpected dive. Coming in five sizes ($16 and up) to fit most pups Read more
The days of "Rubber Duckie, you're the one — you make bath time lots of fun" may have gone down the drain, but that doesn't mean your child's nautical entertainment needs have to end. The Vilac Balloon Powered Boat ($9) offers a retro option for playtime in the bath, pool or pond. I'm no mechanic, but it appears the balloon lets out air through a little tube and propels the all-wooden boat Read more
Ahoy lil matey! Tis time to let your sails shine in the morning glory. If you have decorated your tot's room using a beach or ship motif, you should definitely check out these amazing handmade pieces of art from Ann Woods. Delicately created from scratch, the artist has paid attention to every last detail, which is why you might be willing to pay the pricey $450 tab. Choose from a simple black Read more
