Phoebe and Lily are two-year-old cocker spaniel-poodle crosses that manage the delicate balance of being vigilant watch dogs…
…and also couch potatoes.
They are litter mates and were tiny peanuts as puppies.
Now they’re full grown, but Phoebe is especially still a peanut! In the last two years they’ve had many opportunities to try out some of the awesome dog products available for small dogs at SmartPak! They definitely have some favorites:
Wellness Small Breed Complete Health® Adult Turkey & Oatmeal
Lily, weighing 16 pounds, and Phoebe, only 9, both love this Wellness Small Breed dog food. The kibble is the perfect size for their smaller mouths. I really love the comprehensive formula, knowing they’re getting everything they need for a balanced diet. Even better, this product is available on AutoShip so I can set the frequency for shipping and never have to worry about running out of food for them!
Whimzees Brushzees Dental Chews
Phoebe and Lily go crazy for these chews! I buy the small size which comes with 24 chews which is a great value! Once I give them each one, they chase each other around the kitchen table a few times before settling down together in a chair to work on their treat. Keeping up with their dental care is really important as they age, so I feel good about using these chews as a way to supplement our tooth brushing routines.
Jolly Tug-a-Mal™ Dog Toy
The pups love this toy! The loops on each end are perfect for them to play together. I bought the small pig for them for Christmas this year after the original small elephant they got the year before finally bit the dust. They go crazy for the squeak and the texture of this toy. Unfortunately for the pig, the nose is one of their favorite parts!
Shires Waterproof Dog Bed
This dog bed is seriously great! I have both the small and the large size with the horse print and it’s been my go-to dog bed for the back of my car. The bed is the perfect balance between being comfortable and functional. It’s tough material really holds up well to the dogs jumping in and out of the car on it. The bed is also not super thick which I really like for traveling. It gives them some good traction while we’re driving but it also provides a nice cushion for them as well. The material holds up extremely well to dirt and mud from the dogs after we go for a run or a swim. I just let the bed dry and can brush it off any remaining debris. I’ve had this bed for over a year and half and it’s still holding up to all our adventures!
