Our whippets wear collars and leashes from WAG Collars in Red Deer, AB and we HIGHLY recommend!! Custom and pre made options available! Cloth or leather, martingale or hound slips & buckle collars for your air tags!
GPS & Tracking Devices:
Tractive GPS Systems
Tile(universal air tags) & Collar Holders
Apple Air Tags & Collar Holders
Coats & Outerwear (be sure to check measurements when ordering apparell)
Beds (double check for correct sizing when ordering):
Kennels & Crates for home and travel:
Cool Runners Soft Sided Portable Pet Crate / Carrier 36-Inchs x 25-Inchs x 25-Inchs
these are GREAT for travel as the fold flat and are easy to set up BUT the sides and door are cloth mesh so you need to teach your dog to behave nicely in these or they will get wrecked.
Petmate 21551 Vari Kennel Ultra Fashion (28l X 20.5w X 21.5h
**good puppy kennel but MAY need to upgrade later**
Petmate 00400 Sky Kennel
36x25x27
this is a "400" and generally a perfect adult whippet size - STRONG RECOMMEND
Precision 1127-11274FD 36x23x25-Inch Two Door ProValu
I am not totally in love with wires, but if this is what you want this should be the right size - bigger is never a problem for an older crate trained dog - but do not go any smaller than this. Cover it with lots of blankets to make it a cozy den!
Tasty Snacks, Supplements & Training Treats (this suggestions are not to replace your veterinarians care but are items we are fond of and see benefit in):
Brunswick Sardines In Spring Water
Sardines in water provide a great snack packed with Omega 3s! These can be added to a meal or given as a treat and then you can skip the added oils on food!
Grizzly Salmon Oil
If feeding whole fish isn't your thing this is my favourite salmon oil supplement, it can be added to meals very easily. Great source of omega 3s.
PRO TIP!
Why Omega 3s?
-
improved coat and skin
-
great for heart health
-
awesome for joint health
-
stronger immune system
Diggin' Your Dog Firm Up Pumpkin Super Supplement
pumpkin is an awesome digestive aid and either of these powdered varieties can be used in place of canned pumpkin
Why Turmeric?
-
reduces inflammation
-
helps with digestion
-
fights cancer
-
improves cognitive function
-
promotes healthy skin and coat
how much turmeric powder can you give? 1/8 to 1/4 tsp per day for every 10 pounds of body weight
What is Taurine?
Taurine is an amino acid required for proper heart function. It is found naturally in meats, especially fish, shellfish and darker poultry meat. You can add it as a supplement to your dogs diet to help keep their heart strong.
If using the capsules as below you can give up to 1000mg/day to an adult whippet.
FortiFlora Powdered Canine Probiotic
Our favourite probiotic by far! Great to have on hand for upset tummys and as a preventative during potentially stressful events (company, travel, bringing home your new puppy).
Benny Bully's
The BEST training treat on the market!
Large Milk Bones - these are a breakfast snack at our house
Pets Agree Oink! (Bacon Flavour) - another house favourite!
Pets Agree Toothday - anything by these guys is pretty delicious
PRO TIP!
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A PET NAIL DREMEL TOOL - THEY HAVE NO POWER. Get a corded "real" one. Trust me.
