These dog ball launchers allow an owner to easily pick the ball up and throw it quite far. Be prepared for a sleepy pooch.

Having a dog bed which is built to last is great for dogs that are prone to chewing.
You’ll find many products that promote themselves as having unchewable dog beds.
11. Metal Dog food and water bowls
Unlike their plastic dog food bowls, you’ll find that they don’t hold on to odour as much. Something that in the heatwave became even more important!
Often the metal dog water bowls are described as very easy to clean and some even come with a great non-slip bottom.
12. A secure dog food storage container
There are a few different things you need a good puppy food container to do. Like keeping the dried dog food stored in it fresh and crunchy.
It also needs to be quite secure to make sure that your dog or playful puppy can’t break into it and eat the entire contents!
13. Dog Cooling Mat
I think that the recent heatwaves have really taught us the power of a dog cooling mat.
There are many different options available, from the cheaper B&M pet cooling mat that was super popular to the more advanced ones.
