Editor’s Note: In an effort to sniff out the best new dog products, we’ve launched Mingus & Dottie Try It, a monthly review column where our contributor Katherine and her pooches put some of these pawesome finds to the test!

This month Mingus and Dottie, in their undying efforts to find you the very best dog products (as well as live lives enviable to most humans), have reviewed the Kingston natural memory foam dog bed from Essentia. So, what did they think?

Smash has a deep-rooted disdain for collars with dangly tags. We’re not sure if something happened in his past or if it’s just one of his quirks, but if you put a collar on him with tags hanging off of it, he goes nuts. Something in his mind breaks, and all he can focus on is trying to chew those tags off, not to mention the collar that came with them. And, since he can’t really reach the tags with his mouth (his nickname is “No Face” for a reason), he tries — desperately — to pull them into a chewable position with his front paws. It’s… pretty sad.
Rather than let our sweet, door-darting dog run free and collar-less, we knew we needed to find a collar with an integrated tag. So, when DogIDs.com reached out to offer their new ScruffTag Paracord Collar for review, I jumped at the chance!

Wrigley has never been much of a destructive chewer (unless it’s a plush toy with a squeaker — he will annihilate that thing in 5 seconds flat). When Smash came into our lives with his wide jaws and constant need to chew, however, it was an eye-opener. We knew we needed to invest in some stronger toys, STAT! Fortunately, I had the opportunity to try out the Bionic Bone from Bionic Pet Products.

Back in June, I attended BlogPaws and had the chance to meet the cool kids behind P.L.A.Y. Pet Lifestyle and You in person. (And, yes, they’re just as fun and cheerful as their name implies!) They asked if I would be interested in testing out one of their new Voyager Lounge Beds. Knowing that we were bringing a new dog home for trial adoption the next day, I jumped at the chance!

Well, two months have passed, that “trial” dog is now a full-fledged member of the family (he has a name and everything — it’s “Smash“), and he’s been sleeping on the Voyager Lounge Bed every night since. Here’s what we think of P.L.A.Y.’s new bed!
