Saturday with the @Supercollar
The Supercollar has been featured on numerous design blogs and I just had to try it out. So this unseasonably sunny Saturday, we tested it out! Jacob was wearing the size M supercollar at the very last notch (i should have gotten large) and he got his croc and we were off to Washington Square Park!
The collar it self has a retractable leash within and also 3M reflectors. It’s works well but because of his love for chasing pigeons and squirrels, I wouldn’t use this on him on regular city walks. I would bring this only for when we go hiking or if we go to the beach.
I would 100% recommend it for dogs under 20 lbs who have no pulling issues or if you lived in a quieter neighborhood. We walked through Soho and it was quite busy!

No-No for Dogs
Since my dad thought it was okay to give Jacob a piece of his sugarless dark chocolate this weekend while I was gone… I think I better post this for everyone so no dogs will die >_< Jacob is okay. I guess it wasn’t enough to kill him. Yikes
DO NOT FEED ANY DOGS the following
Chocolate, macadamia nuts and onions. Each of these foods contains chemicals which rarely cause problems for humans, but for dogs, these same chemicals can be deadly.- Avocado (all parts) – the toxic ingredient in avocado is called persin (toxic amount unknown). Mmost documented cases of poisoning have been in livestock that have eaten all parts of the avocado and in large amounts. The toxin may be confined to the leaves, bark, skin or seed but the flesh is thought to be poisonous to birds.
- Pear pips, the kernels of plums, peaches and apricots, apple core pips (contain cyanogenic glycosides resulting in cyanide posioning)
- Potato peelings and green looking potatoes
- Rhubarb leaves
- Mouldy/spoiled foods (keep garbage lid firmly on)
- Alcohol
- Yeast dough
- Coffee grounds, beans & tea (caffeine)
- Hops (used in home brewing)
- Tomato leaves & stems (green parts)
- Broccoli (in large amounts)
- Raisins and grapes
- Cigarettes, tobacco, cigars
- Xylitol (sweetener often found in sugar-free gum)
- Cooked bones – they can splinter and cause gut perforation, as well as blockages in the intestine, tooth fractures, and cooked chop bones can get stuck across the roof of the mouth
- Corn cobs – a common cause of intestinal blockage requiring surgical removal
Dogs are not human. Even though sometimes we forget.
