This leash is the trick! I used it this past weekend when Gracie and I visited the vet and ran errands. During previous excursions “in public,” I felt as if my shoulder would be dislocated whenever Gracie spotted something of interest. As advertised, the Wacky Walkr leash restricts pulling.

When she charged forward, the leash absorbed the impact. I only felt a slight tug. Gracie did not seem bothered. This will be the shortest product review ever – buy this leash if you have a dog who loves to tug!  It is amazing!

Outward Hound Portable Water Sling with Bowl

Sold at PetSmart


When I spotted this kit at PetSmart, I thought it was a fantastic idea. The blue sling holds a standard 20-ounce water bottle. The khaki water bowl is tucked away in the little pouch on the front of the sling. You unfold the bowl, give your pet a drink, and then store it once again in its little pouch. So convenient, right?

Unfortunately, the water bowl is not quite waterproof. The material is not as thick as it needs to be. Gracie prefers to sip a little water and have more later. By the second stop, the bowl begins to sweat. By the third, you are left with a little ring of water on the ground where you place the bowl. Subsequent stops lead to a soggy bowl.

The material on the blue sling part is thin too. The water bottle of course will have moisture beading on the sides. The water eventually soaks through the fabric and moistens your clothing. For me personally, it is not a big deal, since I am usually covered in white dog hair at that point. All vanity is gone. Regardless of that, the product should be made with a thicker material. As an added benefit, the water would probably stay cooler longer.

After I bought the Outward Hound model, I found that another company makes a better version. This product is so annoying that I am going to buy the other model. Look for the review in the future.
