I own a small dog daycare and would like to expand my retail section. I would like to carry things that people like and use often but also, carry things that you cannot find in major pet stores.
Are there any products or brands that you really like, and are there particular items that you buy on a regular basis for your dog?
Thanks so much for the help!

Everything! I'm a sucker for smart marketing! I'll buy anything. I've noticed that when looking for dog treats, finding one without "meals" or "bi-products" is kind of difficult. I would like something healthier for my dog that she actually likes as a treat. Perhaps some easy digestible "organic" chews, fancier hypoallergenic boutique type shampoos, rope toys are always a hit (especially if you can find them in safe color dyed cottons). I'm always on the lookout for new toys with different sounding squeakers in them. Good luck!

I always look for Nylabones or any similar products of hard indestructible plastic toys... especially weird shapes the dogs like the different shapes not just plain bone shaped.. also solid rubber balls are hard to come by and they are the best because the dog cant destroy them... I dont know about other people but I find stores dont have enough indestructible toys..everything is too soft etc and my dogs need toys they cant eat!! lol

Yeah, you know... This is a great idea. I noticed PetsMart and Petco has stopped selling the squeaky, plastic toys shaped like things for big dogs and that really sucks because my German Shepard loved those. He had a football and a porcupine that he LOVED and he got a new one every Christmas but the past two years... I haven't been able to find ANYTHING even close to that. All they have for big dogs are boring things like Kongs and weird squeaky toys that aren't easy to squeak... Either way, there's nothing really entertaining for a big dog who likes toys that make noise.

I like buying toys and treats for my dog...I am getting a pup on Monday, so I will be buying even more toys for him to teethe on. I also like buying treats and some doggie clothes...I recently got my Chi the cutest hoodie, and a pair of long john pajamas! I would like to see some cute t-shirts. I can never find any cute ones for males...And I don't think he would like to wear pink or purple...Lol. I also started buying my Chi those Greenies. They are great with cleaning the teeth, and they do alot better than the milkbones...They give them fresh breath for hours, and it cleans the tarter and stains off of their teeth. One of his front teeth was getting nasty and looked like it was rotting...It is starting to turn white again after about 3-4 days of feeding him a greenie once a day....I am completely amazed by them.

My favorite toys are the Kongs, all sizes, and there counterpart toys. All 7 of my dogs love them, and though they are not totally indestructable like the packaging says, They do last a longer time than other toys do. I like the design cause they bounce irradically and really entertain the dogs and me of course when I watch them.
hmm pandora gets a thumbs up for suggesting a Kong and I get a Thumbs down... I wonder whoooos doing the thumbing... intresting....

My dogs favorite toys are the big stuffed bunnys. She loves to rip the guts out of them. I have noticed that at petco and such they only sell the little animals that cost too much for about one minute of pleasure from my dog.

H2O bone shaped water and land toy pure rubber and can't be destroyed
Go to a tennis court and pick up the ones on the ground. Players won't use them if they have gotten wet

My dog's favorite is either a frisbee or a "huck-a-ball" thingy ... the one with the plastic "arm" with a half-cup on the end to hold the ball before you throw it. It's the best lazy-man's dog exercising system ever!
