Pet owners love getting products with their pet's name, face or breed on them. It makes us happy to have a reminder of our pet to show off to our friends, family and co-workers. Many of us even keep photos of our pet around our home or office. What if you could have a large personalized canvas, like this one from Personalize My Pup, to show your dog off in style?

The best part is, you can put pictures of any animal on one of these canvases. While I’m obviously featuring a painting for dog owners, you can get a custom handmade piece of art of a horse, bird, hamster or any other pet. If you send in a picture of your animal companion, Personalize My Pup will put their face on a canvas.

"If you choose to order one of these canvases, you'll need to do so on the company's website. They also offer shirts, socks, phone cases, fleece blankets and other products that you can get your pet's face on. All you have to do is upload a photo with your order, and they'll customize your product."

Traveling with your dog is a lot of fun, but you have to make sure to bring the right supplies along for the trip. Having the right travel gear will make it easier and safer to bring your pooch on adventures. My Pet Pail puts a unique twist on a traditional travel feeder.

Enter My Pet Pail, which has made our hiking trips a lot easier! Travel bowls aren't just good for hiking and outdoor adventures. They're also ideal for car trips, long traveling adventures and camping. See what makes My Pet Pail stand out from other travel dog feeders.

"You can store food and water right in the bowls without having to worry about spills. There are also two 20-ounce removable bottles inside the pail. These bottles have screw-on tops to seal in food and water."

One of the most frustrating and disgusting things that can happen to a pet owner is finding out their dog has been sprayed by a skunk. Your first instinct will probably be to get him into the tub, but do you know how to get rid of skunk smell on dogs? Read the full guide here: https://topdogtips.com/how-to-get-rid...

So, do you know how to get rid of skunk smell on dogs? I do! We live in a rural part of central Maine, and skunks are quite a common nuisance in our area. I've had dogs for more than 20 years, and unfortunately I've had the opportunity to try many different remedies to remove skunk spray.

"Use this mixture like a shampoo. First, thoroughly wet your dog's coat. Work this mixture into the coat and down to your pup's skin. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes, or as long as you can get your pooch to stay in the tub without getting to anxious."

We take our dogs for rides in the car quite often. While I love bringing them along on adventures, I hate having to clean the car when they get out. That's why our vehicles are equipped with dog car seat covers to keep dirt, debris and water from getting on the upholstery. I tried the BarkinBuddy Dog Car Seat Cover to see how it measured to other seat covers I've used in the past. Read the full review here: https://topdogtips.com/barkinbuddy-do...

I've compared dog car seat covers in the past, and I was surprised to see some unique features on the BarkinBuddy Dog Car Seat Cover. How did it compare to others I've tried? Would I recommend it? I'll give you all the details of my experience with this product in the following review.

"This seat cover is waterproof, which is an absolute must-have feature when shopping for a product like this. Even if your dog doesn't swim, he's going to step in a puddle or walk through wet grass from time to time. It's necessary to have a car seat cover that won't allow the water to soak into your upholstery."

What's more challenging than grooming your dog at home? Choosing grooming supplies, of course! There are so many dog grooming products available, so how are you supposed to know which ones are effective, affordable and comfortable to use? This review will give you all the details of happyhund Dog Brushes to help you decide if they will be a good choice for your pup. Read the full review here: https://topdogtips.com/happyhund-dog-...

It's really important to do a bit of research before you start shopping for the best dog brush for your pet. If you're not sure what type of coat your dog has, that's the first thing you need to figure out. Here's a tip: if your dog's hair continuously grows, that means it is hair and if it stops growing at a certain length, that means he has fur.

"I just wish the teeth were a little bit longer, so they could hold more fur. I fill the brush with just one swipe down my dog. I would definitely recommend this as a deshedding tool for small breeds, but if you have a large dog you'll want to look for a tool made specifically for large breeds."

There is nothing wrong with having your dog sleep in your bed. In fact, a majority of pet owners like having their pooch snuggle in bed with them. However, some owners complain that they don't sleep as well with their pup in their bed. If you fall into this second category, learning how to keep dog off bed is going to be necessary for you to get a good night's rest. Read the full guide here: https://topdogtips.com/how-to-keep-do...

If you've provided your dog with a high quality pet bed but he still jumps up to sleep with you, this habit can be changed. With a little time and patience (and a lot of praise and treats), your dog can be taught to sleep in his own bed. You may even be surprised to find that he enjoys having his own space more than he likes sleeping with you.

"At first, put the bed in an area where your dog spends a lot of time. After a few days, the bed will start to absorb the smells of your home, your human family members and your pets. With time and patience, your dog will start spending more time on the bed. Eventually, he'll be comfortable taking naps or sleeping through the night on his comfy new resting spot."

During the cold winter months your dog may need something to help him stay warm. Providing a jacket or sweater for small breeds, senior dogs and pets with thin or very little fur is the easiest way to keep them warm. Learning how to make a dog sweater is a great way to reuse an old sweatshirt and save yourself some money at the same time. Read the full guide here: https://topdogtips.com/how-to-make-a-...

If your dog could benefit from an extra layer of warmth, learning how to make a dog sweater is a cheaper option than buying one. In this DIY guide, I will show you how to make a dog sweater using an old sweatshirt or fleece pullover.

"The cuff of the sleeve will be the collar of the dog sweater. Slide the cuff over your dog's neck and estimate where you'll need to make slices for the arm holes. If the cuff is too small to fit around Fido's neck, cut down the sleeve until it is the correct size."

When I'm speaking with other pet owners about the benefits of homemade dog food, they always ask about the cost. How much does it cost to make homemade meals for your pet? Is it more expensive than purchasing commercial dog food? This guide to the real cost of homemade dog food is just how I personally budget, but it will be a great starting point for any owner new to making homemade dog food.

When you're thinking about the expense of homemade dog food, you have to first think about the quality of the food you'll be making. You will be using whole foods and no artificial fillers, preservatives, dyes or harmful ingredients.

"I start with the protein source, because that's always the biggest part of the expense. I budget about $0.75 per serving for cheaper sources, like chicken and beef. If you choose (or need) to use a more expensive protein, like venison or bison, your cost could be upwards of $1.50 per serving."
