I understand that the pet industry is so incredibly large, with so many options to choose from. I’ve put together a list of businesses that I support from personal experiences to help you decide what’s best for your dog.
Training Supplies
-
Heather's Heroes
This company creates a fantastic lead that can be used as a head halter or a slip lead. This is a fantastic way to transition your dog to a regular lead as they improve on their leash walking.

CSJ Creations
This Alsea, OR, based company makes a multitude of custom leads and collars from biothane and paracord. I have items from them from Newt’s paracord collar to a custom leash that I designed myself! It is a multi-purpose leash that can be hands-free, can be used as a tether, has a built in traffic lead handle, back up safety clip, and the other side is able to be converted into a slip lead. If you’d like this leash, ask for the “Devi Special”.

This company creates the only no-pull harness I can fully stand behind. There are multiple adjustment points, option for a multi-purpose leash for more control, and the design prevents rubbing under the front legs.
-
Bold Lead Designs
Bold Lead Designs is based in Aurora, CO, and they offer a multitude of well-made training tools, including long lines and one of my preferred head halters, the Perfect Pace.

Brigs S&P
This Calgary-based company is the source of my custom multi-purpose leash that I am absolutely obsessed with! They offer custom leads and collars, as well as other training accessories. Tyrael also rocks a blue and black collar with rainbow hardware from them!
Treats & Food
-
Fig & Tyler
The majority of my treats are from Fig & Tyler, as these treats are great for dogs with food sensitivities and I am able to pick and choose which protein I am offering them.

My Pet Carnivore
As a raw feeder myself, having access to My Pet Carnivore and the numerous proteins they offer gives my dogs a ton of variety in their diets. The different raw chews they offer keep their teeth clean as well. I can order online and then go pick up my order in Indianapolis, but they also ship nationally!
-
Spot & Tango
This is my go-to for those who are looking for a great fresh-food option. They also make terrific treats! I am a big advocate for raw and/or fresh diets and Spot & Tango offers frozen or freeze-dried delivery options.

Steve's Real Food
Steve’s Real Food is the first raw food to be manufactured. They offer a complete balanced raw diet in easy to feed nuggets. I like to put together my own whole prey model meals for my boys, but they also do so well on Steve’s that I can easily switch it up without worry about upset tummies.
-
Raw Dynamic
I tend to rotate my dogs’ food to allow for more variety and this is the top food we feed!
-
Real Meat Company
This company uses meat sourced from free-range and humane farms. I like to use the dog food as treats as they are air-dried and easy to break up into small pieces for training. The dogs love them too!
Local Indy
-
Paws Stop
This owner-run business has clearly taken the time to research all of the products that they carry. Not only do they carry a multitude of high quality, fresh, and/or raw diets for both dogs and cats, their employees are all nutrition educated! They are located in Lawrence and will quickly make you a regular after one visit!
-
My Pet Carnivore
This is repeat from the section above, but though this company ships nationally, their HQ is located in Fountain Square!
-
Wagger - Transportation for Dogs
If your schedule makes it difficult to get out and take your dog to the places they need to be, or you have a disability that makes travel challenging, Wagger might be your answer! I have personally worked with Casey, who owns and runs Wagger. She is skilled at handling dogs, patient, and kind. I would 100% trust her with my own dogs.
-
Northside Paws Veterinary Care
It can be extremely difficult to find a vet that truly cares about your dog, not just medically, but their comfort level during their visits. This office if Fear Free Certified and my vet of choice in Indy!
