My Review of Guyot Designs Squishy Pet Bowl - 48 oz.
The ingenious Guyot Designs Squishy pet bowl mashes down into a thin, flexible layer in your pack and pops back into shape when you pull it out to offer your 4-legged friend a drink or meal.
Almost Perfect

Gift: No
Pros: Easy To Drink From, Attractive Design, Good Height, Easy to Clean, Stay Put, Tough, Good Depth
Best Uses: Active Dogs, Indoors, Outdoors
Describe Yourself: Long-time Pet Owner
My dog seems to favor this bowl over any fabric/drawstring bowl we've tried in the past. I like that it keeps it's shape no matter smashing it into a bag for a hike. The only thing I wish it had is a place to hook a carabiner on to hang in between water breaks. PS – Love the color (orange)!

Better than expected

Gift: No
Sizing: Feels true to size
Pros: Good Quality, Easy to Put On
Cons: Adjust often
Best Uses: Harsh Weather, Outdoors, Travel
Describe Yourself: Single Dog Owner
I got these for my dog for the hot summers in Phoenix. The first time she wore them, she chased a duck into a pond and lost one of them (think it got stuck in the mud). Since we got her replacements, she hasn't lost a single one. They have saved her paws when going on long rocky hikes and on the hot pavement in town. People think she looks ridiculous, but we don't have to deal with ripped or burned pads ever! They do need to be adjusted often — every water break I need to tighten them. We use the liners and I can't really tell if they help the fit, but I think they do reduce rubbing on her ankles.

My Review of Ruff Wear Palisades Dog Pack
Dogs love to carry their own weight—let them do it with confidence and comfort in this full-featured dog pack from Ruff Wear.
Excellent Harness & Pack!
By emmysue from Phoenix, AZ on 3/8/2010
Gift: No
Pros: Easy To Load, Large Capacity, Highly Adjustable, Comfortable
Best Uses: Extended Hikes, Day Hikes, Special Needs, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, School, Travel
Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer
What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist
We were recommended the Web Master Harness when our dog Dixie had amputation surgery on her front left leg. When I found the Palisades Dog Pack had detachable saddle bags on a Web Master Harness, I knew that was the product for us. Slowly but surely, we're working up weight in the saddle bags by filling the water bladders. Eventually we hope Dixie can once again carry her own water and food on a hike.
About the harness:
Dixie wears just the harness when out and about in town, or camping and hiking. The harness gives her overall support while navigating out in the world. We love the handle — it helps us get her in and out of taller cars and up and down rocks when hiking. It has withstood plenty of wear and washes in the washing machine.
About the saddle bags:
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they detach from the harness. It makes giving her a rest a lot easier than taking the whole thing off her. I like that the bags have water bladders, although I wish the valves were more like flexible Camelbak valves. I like all the adjustment options and everything seems to be withstanding normal wear and tear.
Thank you Ruff Wear for making such a wonderful product!

My Review of Ruff Wear Mt. Bachelor Pad Dog Bed - Medium
Now made with recycled materials, the Ruff Wear Mt. Bachelor Pad dog bed is the perfect place for your precious pup to call home.
Great Camping Bed
By emmysue from Phoenix, AZ on 3/8/2010
Gift: No
Pros: Comfortable For Pet, Easy To Clean, Attractive Design, Long Lasting
Best Uses: Camping, Indoors, Small Pets, Travel, Large Pets, Medium Pet
Describe Yourself: Long-time Pet Owner
Our dog Dixie is a tripawd so she needs a little extra padding when we camp. It's not a super plush bed by any means, but it gives Dixie a warm, dry spot to lay her head. We love that it rolls up relatively small and doesn't take up more room than, say, our tent in the car. We also bring it along when we go to friends' houses. It gives her a familiar place to "go lay down."
