Treats and Chews

Flossies Spiral Chews

Review: Merrick has a great chew that keeps dogs teeth clean and minds occupied, called a Flossie. Flossies are all natural, high protein and low in fat. Basically, they are curly beef tendons. The curl of the Flossie allows for more and better angles in a dog’s mouth, and therefore can help reduce tartar buildup. All Merrick chew treats are all natural with no preservatives, additives or artificial colors and are made from U.S.D.A sourced ingredients. The treats are only dried, not smoked.

Flossies come in 3 sizes: regular, jumbo and phat.

After looking for a good chew that isn’t harmful to our dogs, we were referred to Flossies. They are all natural and break down in the body for easy digestion (even for a Shiba with a sensitive stomach) and are large enough that choking has never been a problem. The only downside is if you have a heavy chewer, he or she will probably chew through one pretty quickly.

Natural Choice Crunchy Treats by Nutro

Review: These treats come in various flavors -- apple, blueberry, and carrot. Natural Choice Crunchy Treats are made with real apple, whole brown rice, and oatmeal. They are great for training treats (break in half for training Corgis). No corn or wheat and no gluten!

Where to find: Various PetCo locations



Good Dog Treats

Review: Wholesome and natural, Good Dog Treats are wheat and corn-free and come in four unique flavors: Peanut Butter & Jelly, Apple Dumpling, Chicken Pot Pie, and Blueberry Cobbler. Each 8 oz. box offers delicious, tiny bone-shaped treats, making the perfect for training (or any other time!). These are great Corgi-sized training treats. They break in half easily and the flavors are always a big hit -- especially the apple dumpling.

Where to find: Locally, Ma & Paws and (occasionally) World Market locations


Sniffers 101 All-Natural Training Bits

Review: Developed by a Veterenary Herbalist and Certified Dog Trainer, these treats are made of all natural ingredients and have no corn, wheat, or gluten in them. As a bonus, they have lemon balm, chamomile, and lavendar as active ingredients to help calm your dog and ehlp him focus during training. Do they really work? All we know is our dogs love the liver flavor, and these treats are soft enough to break into bits without crumbling, so they make great training treats.

Where to find: Various PetCo locations



American Natural Chews 5-Pack Knee Bones

Review: There is always discussion about what is good to use to clean a dog's teeth. Some owners like to give bones, and others are not comfortable with that. If you are a bone-giver, these bones are great. Natural beef knee bones help reduce tartar and plaque. They are small enough that a Corgi can get his/her mouth around them, but not so small that a Corgi can swallow them. American Natural Chews are made in America from American cattle. Remember: Always take bones away from your dog when the bones get small enough that they could be swallowed. It is usually best to supervise your dog when giving him/her a bone. Bones are usually not given daily -- rather as a teeth cleaner once a month or less. If you have any questions about giving bones to your Corgi, check with your vet.

Teva's Treats

Review: What could be better than homemade treats shipped right to your door? Teva has come up with some wonderful recipes that have been such a hit with friends that she is now going to feature her treats on a website. She will be offering seasonal boxes (Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Fall/Halloween) and will have other cookies and treats available year-round.

Where to find: Contact Teva by email for now, and watch for her website (coming soon!)

Toys

Material Dog Dr. Noys Replacable Replaceable Squeaker Toys

Review: As all Corgi owners know, Corgis are notorious for destroying soft toys either to roll in the fluff or to destroy the squeaker. Material Dog has created what we call the “indestructible” dog toy! These toys are made of soft fabric, but no fluff, so there is no mess. Also, the squeaker is enclosed in the toy by very strong Velcro and in its own fleece pouch, so it is nearly impossible for the corgi to get to it. A bonus is the toy comes with an additional squeaker, should your furry friend break the one in the toy.

We love this toy, paws down! Our pheasant has been through multiple dogs now, all heavy chewers, and is still in close to original shape! We have replaced the squeaker a few times, but the toy itself is still holding up strong!

Egg Babies

Review: The ultimate in long-lasting toys for dogs who love to seek and destroy. Keeps pets occupied with three removable squeaking eggs that fit inside the toy's body. Pets learn to remove the eggs without destroying the toy for repeated play and fun. Egg babies come in various animal forms -- platypus, fish, dragon, hedgehog, turtle and alligator. Replacement "babies" (the eggs) are also available, and they make fun soft squeaky toys even without the "pet" they go in!

Where to find: Locally, at Red Bandanna locations.

Collars and Leashes

Northwind Collars

Review: For those who prefer the martingale collar, Northwind Collars is the place to go. Owners Kay Nierengarten and Mark Shubert have been breeding and showing Whippets for over 25 years. Kay started making martingales as a hobby, which led to her making them as a business. Northwind Collars offer lots of color and design choices, as well as various sizes.

Corgi Inspired Gear for Humans

DreamEyce Studio Custom Dog Art and Pins

Review: All of Emily’s pins are one-of-a-kind creations and are great Gear for any Corgi lover. Emily will custom make a pin of your Corgi, be it Pemmie or Cardi. She does Corgi sculptures, as well, and the fact that Emily has a darling Cardigan as an art inspiration is definitely a plus!

I would highly recommend Emily’s pins to anyone looking for a unique way to capture the spirit of their own Corgi or as a gift for a Corgi lover. Emily can get a little busy, so it may take awhile for her to return e-mails or send out your pin, but the wait is well worth the product.

Where to Find: online at www.dreameyce.com
or e-mail to godlevsky@dreameyce.com


Horse Crazy

Review: A wonderful place to find unique Corgi pottery and art is at Horse Crazy in Draper, Utah. Tammy Armantrout runs a great tack shop along with her RHT Pemmie, Maddy. She carries a limited amount of art by Darcy Conklin, a Corgi person herself, along with Corgi art frames and stuffed Corgis. Darcy has a fun, folk-art approach to her pieces, which range from kitchen tiles to pasta bowls. Darcy will also custom make pieces on request.

We were very excited to find Horse Crazy and its hidden treasure of Corgi art. Horse Crazy is located right off the freeway in Draper, so is pretty accessible. This is an excellent place to find great Corgi art pieces that no one else carries. The only downside is that there is a limited amount of things to choose from and since Darcy is so busy, it can be hit or miss as to how many pieces Tammy has in stock. We’d recommend calling first to see how many Corgi pieces are currently available.

Windfall Company Corgi Ornaments

Review: The best thing I found this year to add to Corgigear are handmade felt dog ornaments made by a woman from Canada. She is a seller on Ebay, and has made custom Corgi ornaments for me, capturing the personalities of each of our Corgis! The cost is very reasonable, and she does beautiful work!

To find these ornaments, look for "Windfall Company" on Ebay. This lady does ornaments for various breeds, and her work is amazing.

Corgi Grooming Supplies

Plush Puppy Products

Review: Used by official groomers, Plush Puppy has wonderful shampoo and coat conditioners for your Corgi! Our favorite shampoo is the Natural All-Purpose Shampoo with Henna. It is a very concentrated shampoo that will last a long time, and is formulated from organic sources, with extracts of henna, alpine herbs, and lichen.

Plush Puppy also offers a Deep Cleansing shampoo and Itchy Coat shampoo if your Corgi has a coat with special needs. Even though Corgis don't usually require conditioner, Plush Puppy has a nice Silk Protein Conditioner that will help hydrate even the driest of coats.

Where to Find: Online at www.plushpuppy.net



Furminator

Review: Who hasn't heard of this? Corgi owners are always looking for ways to get excess hair out of their Corgi's coat (and off their own clothes and furniture, too!), and the Furminator is one good way to do that. Basically, the Furminator is a rake that takes out a lot of our COrgi's fluffy undercoat. It doesn't do so well on guard hairs, though, and you'll need another brush or comb to get those hairs out. We really like the rake, but have not found Furminator's other products (shampoo, conditioner, treats) to do anything more to stop shedding than any of the other products on the market.

Where to Find: Locally, you can find Furminator products at Ma & Paws , The Red Bandanna, PetCo, and PetsMart.
