STHLM Dog Spa Shampoo & Conditioner

Best Dog Shampoo for Spring: STHLM DogSpa Review

OK, we need to honest here and say that we're suckers for gorgeous packaging, but the DogSpa range delivers way more than beautiful packaging.


DogSpa is a boutique Swedish range of cruelty free, vegan, and all-natural dog shampoos and conditioners. All their products have a properly balanced pH, to prevent the dog getting irritated skin.


There are two collections to choose from - the Sensitive Series and the Hydrating & Softening Series.


Seriously, these are Spring spa essentials for the pampered pup. Question - When did our dog's grooming products start look better than ours ?


STHLM features in our Best Dog Shampoo Round-Up

Honeycomb dog slow feeder bowl by SodaPup

Earth Rated - Poo Bag Dispenser

Let's face it, scooping the poop has to be the least pleasant aspect of owning a dog.


We tested a whole range of dog poo bag dispensers and have to say that the newly redesigned dispenser from Earth rated is the best on the market.


It dispenses the bags through a slit as opposed to a hole and in testing it worked like a charm.


Its chic, modern design makes it the perfect attachment to your dog’s lead, or even your belt or bag.

Best Dog Treats : Pooch & Mutt

A fetching finds this Spring that will make tails spin !


Hot off the press are these new and original dog treats from Incentives Pets. Delicately freeze-dried to help preserve the goodness and flavour, Boosts are a super- nutritionally dense dog treat that really packs a punch.


There are three types available, but our overall favourite in testing were the Egg Yolk Boosts. These little gems are the ultimate superfood for your dog.

Pet Head Paw Butter for dogs

SodaPup - Mandala Dog Slow Feeder

We are huge fans of the US brand SodaPup. If you haven't come across SodaPup, we recommend taking a closer look at their selection of slow feeders (they call them enrichment trays), chew toys and treat dispensers.


Throughout their entire product range, SodaPup focus on beauty and originality in their designs. We love this Mandala slow feeder because it's shallow so ideal for serving small amounts of wet and dry foods together.


Designed with a series of individual chambers, it's perfect for preventing your dog from eating their entire bowl in just a couple of mouthfuls. It also encourages fussy pups by making mealtimes more fun.


So great quality meets stunning aesthetics in this utterly gorgeous Mandala eTray.

From the premium memory foam mattress to the plump filled bolster, the whole bed is beautifully constructed using high-quality materials and attention to detail.


Removable covers make keeping this dog bed clean and fresh, a walk in the park !
