The Ultimate Dachshund Lovers Gift Guide
We welcomed our long-haired dachshund Django into our lives in late 2015. Since then, we've acquired a lot of dachshund-themed goods. Some of these wiener-decorated items have been gifts from family and friends. Others I've bought myself because... well... a dachshund lover can never have enough sausage dog goods right?
We've compiled our favorite dachshund-themed goods for every member of the family. We included Dachshund Gifts for Her, Dachshund Gifts for Him, Dachshund Gifts for Children, and Dachshund Gifts for the Home.
Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD) in Dogs | Causes, Prevention, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
When we first got 10 week old Django, Mike and I (Steph) would take him outside every 2-3 hours for bathroom breaks. Most of these trips consisted of Django sitting in the middle of a busy NYC sidewalk and staring down strangers until they came over to pet him. We met so many wonderful owners and fans of dachshunds. Surprisingly, so many of these New Yorkers had an unsolicited story to tell us about their dog and intervertebral disc disease (IVDD).
What exactly is IVDD? We did a LOT of research to better understand the unfortunate and often painful condition that affects 20% of dachshunds. Here is everything you need to know: causes and symptoms of the IVDD, prevention, and treatment options.
NYC's Most Dog-Friendly Restaurants, Bars, Parks, and Beaches
We're approaching our third year in New York City with Django (and our 10th year living here overall!). We've lived in five different apartments throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, so we've gotten to know the city and everything it has to offer really really well.
New York City can be an intimidating place, especially if you're visiting for the first time with your dog. Not sure where to eat and hang out with your pup next time you visit? We put together a list of our favorite dog-friendly restaurants, coffee shops, bars, parks and beaches (yes, beaches!) in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.
Lyme Disease in Dogs: Prevention, Symptoms, and Treatment
With ticks and other disease-spreading insects proliferating throughout the United States, dog parents today are increasingly concerned about protecting themselves and their pups from Lyme disease. Lyme disease is commonly transmitted to dogs and humans through bites from blacklegged ticks and can cause serious symptoms and illness.
We partnered with the Cynthia Lopez, editor of Pet Life Today, on this important topic. Here is everything you need to know about Lyme Disease in dogs including preventative care, symptoms, and treatment options.
How to Take Your Dog to the USA
Last year Mike and I took our dachshund Django on our honeymoon to Europe. We had a great time with Django in France and Italy and highly recommend international pet travel when it's done right!
We outlined everything our friends and followers need to do to successfully bring their dog to Europe. But what about our international friends who want to take their pet to the USA? Well, guys, this post is for you!
Here is everything you need to do to take your dog to the USA.
Flying with Pets In-Cabin to the United Kingdom
Mike and I started planning our first pet-friendly trip to London, England a few weeks ago. We've already been to Europe with Django once and even got him a EU Pet Passport in Paris. Planning the trip to London should be easy, right? Wrong. We quickly discovered that no airline offers in-cabin pet travel to the United Kingdom; pets are only allowed to fly to the UK in the hold.
The good news is there are safe travel options for getting to the UK with your dog without having to put him or her in cargo. Here are the best travel options for taking your pet dog or cat to the UK.

Django vs. Hoover's SmartWash Advanced Pet Carpet Cleaner (Video)
When Home Depot reached out to me to test and review their new SmartWash Advanced Pet Carpet Cleaner, I welcomed the opportunity. We were getting ready to move out of our Philadelphia apartment - a one bedroom rental - and the light cream carpet in the bedroom showed clear signs of Django’s presence. In additional to many little smudge marks, there was one very noticeable pee stain.
Here is our honest product review of Home Depot's advanced pet carpet cleaner - and an entertaining product video for your viewing pleasure ;)
