Just because they are covered in fur or related to wild wolves doesn't mean domesticated house dogs don't get cold. All canine breeds can get a little chilly in the colder months, and short-haired varieties are naturally more susceptible to cooler temperatures. To keep your pup warm and cozy throughout the year, get them a quality dog sweater. Ranging from traditional hoodies to knit pullovers, they come in all shapes and sizes. Since they are as fashionable as they are functional, they'll not only feel great, but they'll look great, too. Our ranking includes some of the most well-rated options on the market, suitable for dogs of all sizes and breeds.

It is no secret that dogs can smell bad. Heck, humans can smell bad too. But we bathe more often than dogs — well, some of us do, anyway. Bathing a dog can be a hassle, so it is extremely helpful to have a product that can keep your dog smelling pleasant in between baths. That product is dog deodorizer, alternatively called dog deodorant, dog cologne, or dog perfume. It's as easy as applying spray deodorant or perfume or cologne to yourself: just spray it on your stinky pooch and eliminate the stink. There are some good deodorizers out there, but we found the best, so read on for our favorite dog deodorizers on the market today.

Dogs love bones, and we love dogs — which is why we love giving our dogs bones. Not only does a good bone keep our canine companions stimulated and occupied when we can't give them the attention they deserve, but these natural chew toys are also good for their overall health, helping to strengthen their gums and jaws and remove tartar build-up and plaque from their teeth. And while any old meat bone from the supermarket may keep our pups satisfied, we know that there are other options out there that are even more delicious and safe for them. We combed through dozens of dog bones on the market to find the best of the best, including the safest, the toughest, and the tastiest.

One of the downsides to having a dog is that there always seems to be hair everywhere. But there is a relatively easy and affordable way to prevent most of the shedding: use a de-shedding tool. A de-shedding tool is a comb of sorts that removes hair before your dog can shed it, ensuring that it ends up in the trash and not all over your furniture and clothes. A good de-shedding tool is designed to be sharp enough to remove hair from your dog's undercoat but safe enough to avoid hurting your best buddy. We found the best tools out there to get the job done, so read on to check out our favorite options.

When it comes to healthy immune systems and digestion, dogs are really no different than humans — it all comes down to the gut. In the former as in the latter, maintaining the right balance of microorganisms in the stomach is key to natural digestion and even immune system functioning. As humans, we often incorporate probiotics into our diets in order to maintain this balance — and so it is with dogs. Containing live microorganisms found naturally in K9 bodies, dog probiotics can help inhibit the growth and activity of harmful bacteria, as well as prevent other intestine-related issues, such as inflammatory bowel disease and diarrhea. Our ranking includes veterinarian-recommended varieties from some of the tops brands on the market.

Hiking and trekking with your furry best friend can be a blast, but there's really no reason for you to shoulder the full burden of your belongings alone when they are by your side.

Taking dogs in the car is risky. They can jump around and distract you, or even obstruct your driving. They can jump out of the window or into your lap. A dog car harness can solve this problem. It's essentially a seat belt for a dog. But it gives the dog a little freedom to move around so they are comfortable. The most important criteria for a dog car harness is its safety features. It has to keep your dog safe while you encounter different road and traffic conditions, and execute different moves, like sharp turns or stopping short. It is also important that the harness is comfortable for your dog. Otherwise, it is unlikely to last as a long term solution. And lastly, it needs to be easy-to-use. You don't want to spend a bunch of time getting your dog in and out of the harness. We reviewed a number of harnesses to match the above criteria. Read on for our reviews of the 4 Best Car Harnesses for Dogs.

They say that good fences make good neighbors. But what if you need a fence inside the house? Indoor dog fences help keep our furry friends away from parts of the house that are off-limits, which is especially important when there's nobody home to supervise them. While we'd like to allow them to roam free, a good indoor fence may be the only thing preventing Lady from tearing up those couch cushions, or Charlie from chowing down on that stash of chocolate treats hidden in the kitchen. If training and trust aren't enough, take a look at our four favorite indoor dog fences.

Dog leashes are one of the most essential tools in the dog owner's toolbox. In most places, it is illegal to walk a dog without a leash. In addition, it can be dangerous for both you and your dog to walk without a leash, or with a subpar leash. What makes a good leash? One that's strong enough to hold a big, active dog. One that will last for many walks. One with a handle that allows you to maintain a tight grip without hurting your hand. Comfort, durability, and safety are the main categories in which we evaluated a number of the top dog leashes on the market. We came away with 4 we believe are the best available.

We've all dealt with those unbearably hot days that never seem to end, but imagine how much worse it would be if you were also wearing a fur coat that you couldn't remove. That's exactly what our dogs go through every time it starts to swelter outside, so we think it's only fair that we should help them out. Dogs love to go for a dip on a hot day just as much as you do, which is why we've come up with a list of pooch pools your furry friend is sure to love.

The idea of dog shoes might strike some people as counter-intuitive. After all, animals in the wild don't wear shoes. But pet dogs aren't living in the wild, and their paws are not acclimated to all surfaces and conditions. If walking on certain surfaces is causing your dog pain, dog shoes will protect their paws and prevent them from getting hurt. If your dog is slipping on slick floors or slippery terrain, dog shoes will provide the traction they need to walk or run normally. If you're tired of your dog tracking dirt, mud, snow, etc. all over the house, dog shoes will keep their feet clean and dry. Read on for our reviews of the 4 Best Dog Shoes that will make life easier for you and your dog.

Though your dogs probably won't be getting a mani-pedi anytime soon, it's really important that you look after their nails. This is not just for cosmetic reasons, either. Nails that grow too long can become a health problem, because the nails can impede movement and even redistribute the weight and pressure of your dogs' gait in an unnatural way. Left unchecked, nail neglect can cause permanent damage, but even if it doesn't get to that, it can just make everyday walking difficult. To help you choose from the best options on the market today, here we've gathered four unique products that we believe in.

Until dogs develop a society of their own, we humans have to accept the unfortunate reality of our pets' lives, which is that many of them have to spend a large portion of their days alone at home. Thankfully, though, modern technology offers us a way to keep tabs on our furry friends. Whether you're at work, out and about running errands, or just lounging in the other room, installing a dog camera in your house will let you see what Buddy is up to all day long.
