WILD THANG
Even if we hit some chop, this Mealtime Kit from Wild One doesn’t slop. Crafted from a combination of food-grade stainless steel and non-slip silicone, the three-in-one food, water, and placemat set contains spills and protects floors courtesy of the raised edges on the mat. The bowl’s grippy silicone base ring also prevents any slipping and sliding around, whether that’s to withstand a wave or hang tough against a handsome but very hangry pooch. (Not that I would ever be so unladylike as to shove my bowl around when dinner is late…I said 6 p.m. SHARP, people.) $70 // wildone.com
FISH & SHIPS
You humans have long had Ivar’s, Anthony’s, Spud’s, and other Northwest staples at your disposal for quelling fish and chips cravings; now I have Bocce’s Bakery to satisfy mine. Inspired by the summertime classic, these Fish & Chips Recipe dog biscuits are made with premium salmon, oat flour, sweet potatoes, and fresh parsley; plus, for an additional two paws up from Pearl, the crunchy little snacks are also wheat-free and baked right here in the U.S.A. $6.50 per 5-ounce bag // boccesbakery.com
FETCH THAT FLOATIE
On your mark, get set, fetch: This soft, stuffed Lunker Floating Throw Toy by Ruffwear is perfect for summer adventuring as the kernmantle rope handle makes it easy for my mom to launch it into the atmosphere so I can fly after it from the dock, plus it gives her a slobber-free spot to pick it back up once when I’m set for my next round. The recycled foam core makes this one buoyant little toy, while the durable, abrasion-resistant fabrication helps protect against my pearly whites should I decide to remind it who’s boss. $25.95 // ruffwear.com
