I’m a professional pet sitter in Northumberland, which means I spend a good part of my week walking dogs, staying in their homes and discovering which bits of dog kit are genuinely useful.

I’m not interested in filling cupboards with fashionable nonsense. If something appears here, it should solve a real problem, offer decent value or at least make a dog very happy. Some links may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you—but recommendations will still be based on usefulness, not on who offers the best biscuit money.
