Bri's Weekly Top Three 12.9.16

Alright, so, surprisingly with the Christmas season so near, I actually worked with a fairly large variety of non-Christmas related products this week, and it looks like the pattern is going to keep up, so yay!  Though next week might be a little heavy on the treat end of things.

I'm a big fan of dog collars-they're a great way to show off a little of your pet's personality without going all-out, and there are so many cute ones out there.  I say this, of course, as a prior husky owner, where her fur was so long you couldn't make out any details on a collar even if you did bother to get a nicer one.  All that aside, I particularly liked Up Country's Bella Floral dog collar.  The light and dark brown are a nice subdued contrast, and I like the colors chosen for the embroidery around the ribbon.  It's something that if that same pattern ribbon were used for a bracelet, or trim on a shirt, I'd probably pick it up for myself.  I also think it's pretty neat how Up Country's collars use a cast brass D-ring instead of a welded one.  It eliminates the weak point of a weld, and tends to just look cleaner-so its just a nice little touch.

Also in the accessorizing realm of pet products, I ran across some really adorable hair bows for pets.  I've always had a slight fondness for polka-dot, particularly when used as an accent, so these were just plain cute and made me smile.  The little bead and pearl in the middle of the double-folded bows that coordinates with the ribbon color is really sweet.

Moving away from the accessories for a bit, I came across the Himalayan Dog Chews again today.  I mentioned them off-handedly before in one of the October articles, in their iteration of Yaky Charms-a dog-friendly popcorn treat, but I haven't addressed them directly or discussed them at length.  Himalayan Dog Chews, in their original form, are a hard cheese made from an ancient Himalayan recipe.  There's only four ingredients: yak and cow's milk, salt, and lime juice, but it creates this chew that almost functions like a rawhide or a bone, except that it softens as the pet chews at it.  It's a really interesting concept, and I know a Brittany and a Corgi who go nuts over anything cheese related, so I might just get some for myself for the next time I visit.

Next week I'll be back, probably with a lot of treats that are either really interesting, or that look delicious enough to make me wish they were for humans.
