We view working with brands as an opportunity to review new products or to showcase products that have become staples in our household. In many cases, we work with companies after we have already tried out and adopted the brand for our pup. We only try out the best products and ensure to provide as honest of a review as possible. We especially love seeing the brands we work with give back to the rescue community. If you are interested in working with us, please shoot us an email at calvinthelabrador@gmail.com.
Here are some of the brands we have worked with:
Chewy, PupBox, Whisk & Wag, Petcube, Amazon Treasure Truck, Best Bully Sticks, PetPlate, P.L.A.Y, Haute Diggity Dog, Healed by the Hound, Bad Tags, Bravo! Pet Foods, Okra & Molly, Kirk & Willie, Noah’s Bark, Platinum Pets USA, Poochie Pets, Mutt Cosmetics, Pincause, Plato Pet Treats.
Bad Tags –
You know Cal – always cheeky and a little sassy, but a total cuddle bug at heart. That’s why we love the Bad Tags Brand. You are guaranteed to find a tag that fits your dog perfectly. My favorite tags? “I Still Live With My Parents” (wouldn’t have it any other way) and “I Kiss on the First Date” (slobber is best!).

Calvin is a jokester so Haute Diggity Dog toys are prefect for him. HDD creates witty designer parody plush toys. They are squeaky, fuzzy, and remarkably cute! Calvin has grown quite a collection. He has to start every morning with a Starbarks Frenchie Roast before hopping in his Furcedes. Don’t forget the Grrrona to end the day.

Noah’s Bark –
Noah’s Bark focuses on all natural dog biscuits – available in beef, chicken, and peanut butter. The company aims to promote a healthy lifestyle and help the pet rescue community. The founder of Noah’s Bark recognizes that food makes a difference – “just because your dog will eat anything, doesn’t mean it should.” Her dog Sheba was constantly sick, and food made all the difference. Those who have been following us for some time know that Calvin has had many stomach sensitivities – he will eat anything but many options make him sick. As a result, we try to keep his treats as healthy as possible!
