Welcome to The Pack, where the editors of The Dodo share pet parenting stories and their favorite products.

Monica's picks:

 
  • We go through a lot of poop bags, and the Earth Rated value pack are the ones I always come back to.
  • This hands-free dog leash has changed our walks — it's especially great for when I need both hands to give out pets.
  • I keep the Springer dog water bottle clipped to my bag. It’s easy to use on walks and doesn’t leak in my tote.
 

Monica is a producer at The Dodo and mom to rescue pups Briggs and Ozzie.

MY PET’S ON THE DODO 🐶

Gabby & Jessy

Rescue poodles, 7 and 8 years old. 

“Gabby and Jessy are living their best lives! These two are partners in sniffing and enjoying treats. Gabby is the first to greet everyone with a few friendly barks, and Jessy prefers to observe for a bit before greeting. Their favorite spot is the couch in the family room, where they love to look out the window to watch the deer, bunnies and turkeys.” — their person
