The best anxiety meds for dogs treat specific anxieties with minimal side effects.

Best Anxiety Meds for Dogs

If you need an anxiety medication for your dog, you need a veterinarian to assess your dog and prescribe it. However, there are over-the-counter anxiety solutions for dogs that I like. A classic example is for dogs who get nervous or car sick when traveling.

Car anxiety occurs in many dogs. Both you and your dog may be able to avoid the vomit-in-a-crate scenario or huge puddles of drool with Earth Heart Travel Calm, a plant-derived product.

The fable dog bed is one of the best washable dog beds that fits in a crate.

The 5 Best Washable Dog Beds

If your dog spends a lot of time snoozing in their bed, a washable dog bed will last much longer (and stay much cleaner) than one that can’t be easily cleaned. Whether you have a dog who sheds, drools, or likes to chew bones in her bed, a washable dog bed makes cleanup easy for pet parents.

We tested 5 popular dog beds with washable covers at a variety of different price points to find the ones that are worth the money and will hold up to your dog’s daily sleeping routine.

Running with your dog can be a great way to keep both of you in shape.

Running With Dogs

What’s better than running by yourself? Running with dogs, of course. If you run regularly, running with your canine companion is a fun way to spend time with your pup while providing physical exercise. But don’t just start running with your dog — follow these steps to ensure your pooch will make a good running companion and is set up for success.
