This section is for businesses who sell pet products that I have personally purchased and recommend to buy from. I will continue to add as I try new items for our dogs.

• Fluff N Tuff Pet Toys www.fluffntuff.com www.fluffntuff.com This company makes durable stuffed pet toys that, for most dogs, are un-destructable. My dogs love them and would normally de-stuff and de-squeak a stuffed toy within 5 minutes. However, for whatever reason, my dogs LOVE these. We now own approx 15 different "Fluff n Tuff" stuffed animals. I wash them in the washer every week to 2 weeks and put them in the dryer. They come out clean and are holding up really well. Our oldest is Edsel the Elephant. The only damage he has is a tear in his tail. All of the others are in perfect shape and my dogs have not attempted to destroy them. Highly recommend these toys. They may not hold up for extreme destructive chewers. They are worth the price! Buy direct from the company at their website.

My dogs normally have stuffed animals de-squeaked and un-stuffed within minutes. I purchased several of the Fluff and Tuff Stuffies and my dogs love them! I have had them for months and the dogs havent killed them yet! I highly recommend!"

So, if you're walking down the street and an humane society officer or animal cruelty officer sees your Doberman or Boxer with cropped ears and docked tails, you can be given a summary offense, unless you have a certificate that states a vet did the work... but what if you have a rescue or a dog with no documentation... then what???
