CREATURE FEATURE
Though those pesky marina gulls will forever be my arch nemeses, I also don’t have fond feelings for the chattering fluff balls that are forever scampering about this time of year. That is why I found this Squirrel! Bandana from The Foggy Doggy sosatisfying; crafted from 100% cotton in an easy-tie triangle design, it suits my stylish sensibilities with its autumnal oak leaf and acorn motifs, all while offering up a sundry of squirrels that I can actually catch. $26 // thefoggydoggy.com
MY MAINE SQUEEZE
Crafted from the same tough and gritty rope used to secure lobster traps to buoys, this Floating Rope Dog Toy byMaine-based Sea Bags may actually stand a chance of withstanding my chompers. Featuring a classic monkey fist knot, the hefty 17-inch-long polyester rope is fit for a game of tug of war both on land or at sea, as the bright orange toy will float should it hit the drink.Fetch! $15 // seabags.com
SPOIL WITH OIL
This heart healthy oil sure peps up a staid bowl of doggie kibble: Say hello to my new favorite dinnertime drizzle, the Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil from Woof. Rich in Omega-3, fatty acids, and chock full of anti-inflammatory properties, this pure, non-GMO product delivers crucial nutrients via an easy-pump dispenser. (Pro tip: My pawrents have also been known to freeze this in cubes so that I can lap it up in pupsicle style when I’ve been especially good.) $29.99 for a 16-ounce bottle // mywoof.com
