SMALL DOG. EXPENSIVE TASTE.
Max approved.
The very expensive, occasionally ridiculous things I buy for a small Maltipoo who would probably be equally happy with a cardboard box. I have receipts. Several.
PURCHASE VERIFIED · MAXBONE
Two designer carriers, a holiday jumper, and absolutely no regrets.
My maxbone order included the Bridgerton collaboration carrier, the Commuter Carrier Bag, GO! portable bowls in Sand, a Honeycomb Balance Toy, and the emerald-green Christian Cowan Holiday Glitz Jumper. These were all part of one confirmed November 2025 replacement order; the earlier duplicate order was canceled. The dog has a more considered travel wardrobe than I do.
PURCHASES VERIFIED · DOGISTRY
The Rockstar walking collection.
Dogistry orders included a SoHo Walking Set in Rockstar, a Rockstar harness, a Dogistry x Fi Rockstar collar band, and a black-and-matte-rose-gold Metro hands-free leash. A Fi GPS collar appeared as a promotional item. Of course his walking equipment coordinates.
PURCHASES VERIFIED · THE FOGGY DOG
Outfits for the walk around the block.
The Foggy Dog orders included an Olive Harness Walk Set, a Flax collar, an Evergreen Collar Walk Set, and a Candy Canes knit bandana. There is something deeply entertaining about buying a dog seasonal accessories while I personally rotate through the same three sweaters.
ON MY RADAR · NOT PURCHASE VERIFIED
Diggs and Fable.
I follow these design-minded dog brands, too. I found marketing emails, but I haven't confirmed orders for either, so these are on my inspiration list rather than my purchased-and-reviewed list.
AN ACTUAL LOVE STORY
Max and the HigherDOSE mat.
His favorite luxury might just be being near me. Max loves to curl up beside me when I'm relaxing on my HigherDOSE heat mat. It's ridiculous and adorable. I supervise him carefully and avoid exposing him to heat settings intended for people.
IN OUR HOME · KINDTAIL
Even his crate comes in a beautiful color.
Max has the light-green KindTail crate setup. Practical dog essentials, but make them fit the room. It’s part of our actual setup, not just something on my wish list.
IN OUR ROUTINE · CAREFUR
Carefur is in the rotation.
I use Carefur for Max, too. I’ll share the specific product and what I think of it separately rather than guessing which product it is.
PET INSURANCE · FETCH
Because not every dog expense is glamorous.
We have Fetch pet insurance for Max. It isn’t as photogenic as a designer carrier, but it’s another part of taking care of him. This is my own choice, not a claim about what any specific policy covers or what another dog owner should buy.
