Dog Gone Smart Dirty Dog Doormat

At first glance, this doormat is colorful and cute, with a big white paw print outline in the center.  When you look closely at this fluffy textured mat, however, you’ll notice that the microfiber material is super absorbent, too. The product description claims that this doormat can hold up to seven times its weight in water, dirt, and mud — which may make this the ideal gift for your dog’s feet rather than yours!

Fortunately, customers agree. Countless reviews appreciated the rug’s super-absorbent qualities, soft and paw-friendly texture, and easy cleanup. Sounds like a winner all around!

At first glance, trail mix might look like a healthy snack for everyone in your home. It has a little sugar, some healthy fats, and a small number of carbohydrates to keep you going throughout the day. Sounds great, right?
Although people can eat as much trail mix as they please, the same isn't true for our canine friends. There are many ingredients in this popular combo that aren't safe for dogs to eat. Let's go over a few of the reasons why as we answer some of the most common questions:

As a small dog owner, you might gaze longingly at the humans who can play endless games of fetch with their shepherds and go for 5-hour walks accompanied by their collies. But you can have all sorts of good times with your little guy. Don't let their size stop you from planning outings together. While, of course, you'll need to work within your beastie's physical constraints, there are lots of things you can do while accommodating their diminutive size.

Hang at the dog park
This is the pastime of many dogs, both large and small. Don't stay away from the park just because your bud can't race around for hours on end. Many parks now specifically set aside sections for small breeds. Take your pup there to find friends of a similar size. If you want to foray into the big dog section (or there isn't an area available for your pup), you can always ask the group if the dogs in there are friendly to their little cousins.
Go for hikes
While it might take a little preparation (and possibly a dog sling), your tiny Fido can enjoy hiking, too. You should work up to this by doing a little bit more each day or each week until they're ready to strike out for a longer adventure. Also, be sure to prep with necessary accouterments, such as water, treats, possibly a dog carrier, and mushers wax if it's winter.
Travel together
One of the biggest benefits of having a little dog is they can go on planes and trains. If your pooch seems to enjoy exploring new places, take them with you on vacation. The fees to travel by air can be a little high and there are some rules (you need them to lie down quietly under the seat for the duration of the flight). But for many doggies, they prefer the flight to staying behind with a sitter.

We'll cut right to the chase (something terriers love), this dog breed group includes some of the spunkiest buddies in the canine family. The terrier class of dogs represents a wide variety of pups, everything from the small Norfolk terrier at just over 10 pounds to the sturdy bull terrier at 70 pounds.
However, there's something all these guys have in common: They have boundless energy and love to play. While you might not have heard of some of these breeds, a terrier could be the perfect dog for you.

What is a terrier?
Chances are, you know a couple breeds with the word terrier in them, but this is actually a completely separate dog group, like Sporting and Herding. Terriers were predominantly originally bred for vermin hunting, and you'll discover a lot of that in their personalities today. Note some "terriers" belong in the Toy group, namely the Yorkie and the toy fox terrier.
Is a terrier a good dog for me?
There's a good chance that a terrier will fit well into your life, but they're not for everyone. Here's what you need to know before bringing home one of these pups.
They're not tiny apartment dogs
Despite the small size, you can't keep these little buddies in a tiny space. Many terriers require as much exercise as a Lab or golden, despite being a fraction of their stature. Make sure you have a good play area, preferably both inside and outside.
There are lots of different kinds
And each one comes with its own unique set of challenges and personality. Many pit bulls fit into this category along with Jack Russells and miniature schnauzers. Look closely at exactly what type you're getting and if you land on a terrier mix, ask which breed they most emulate.
Some are hypoallergenic
Kerry blue, Scottish, and Westies all have hypoallergenic hair, similar to a poodle. While this coat is great at preventing the sniffles, all dogs with this kind of fur require maintenance, typically including professional grooming and haircuts.
If you don't entertain them, they'll make up their own games
Don't forget, their version of playing probably means destroying your stuff or getting the zoomies. We can't stress this enough: You should only adopt a terrier if you are ready for daily walks and playtime.
Some don't like other dogs or kids
Lots of terriers love people and pets and make great family dogs. But others will only bond with one person. Some are mouthers that will put your hand or their leash in their jaw even into adulthood (this isn't a bite and is usually non-aggressive). You can carefully train this out of them, but it can be scary for small children.
