The A-List for Pets
SPIbelt Leash $20
spibelt.com
Austinites are always on the go. One moment we’re walking our dogs on Lady Bird Lake, and the next we’re running errands or meeting friends for brunch with the dog still in tow. Austin is a pet-friendly city, so why not have a leash that holds your cell phone, keys, cash, ID, and doggie bags all in one pocket? The SPIleash is perfect for all fast-paced pet lovers.
Barkin’ Creek Chicken Bark $9–$30
barkincreek.com
Barkin’ Creek Kitchen’s brick and mortar will open on South Lamar later this summer. Until then, you can purchase their Chicken Bark, a thinly sliced chicken breast selected from local farms. All Barkin’ Creek Chicken Bark is free of hormones and antibiotics and is simply dehydrated and sliced—an all-natural treat your furry friends are sure to love!
Roomba $299–$900
irobot.com
Keep your home clean and free of fur and dander with the help of an iRobot Roomba. These vacuuming robots are powered by smart sensors that guide the vacuum around your home, navigating under furniture and around clutter to thoroughly clean your floors.
The FURminator Deshedding Tool $38–$73
furminator.com
Grooming is made easy with the FURminator Deshedding tool. It works to push through the topcoat of your pet’s coat, removing the undercoat and loose hair without affecting the dog’s delicate skin. A great product with the warm Texas weather just around the corner!
Ruffwear Swamp Cooler Vest $60
ruffwear.com
We all know the discomfort that comes with the Texas heat. Like our human dry-fit clothing, our dogs deserve options that keep them cool, too. We love this vest because it not only protects our furry friends from the sun, but it also provides cooling through evaporation. To activate, simply soak the vest in water, wring out, and place on your dog. The fabric reflects solar radiation while evaporation pulls heat from the dog.
