Does your dog eat so fast that it seems like they inhale their food? Here is a device that will slow them down and make them use their nose to find their food. Just tuck pieces of kibble into the folds of this mat and give it to your dog. Your dog will eat slower to aid digestion. In addition, the hunt for the kibble will keep their mind active. These are hand made by one of our As Good as Gold members. Please note that each one of these mats are multicolored and unique. The snuffle mat that you receive will not be the same color as is shown in the photo. The photo is just an example of one particular color scheme. Each mat measures approximately 12 x 14 inches. -
Here’s the perfect item for snuggling with that “special” companion on a chilly night. (Of course, your “special” companion is your dog.) There is plenty of room for both of you under this 50 x 60 inch fleece blanket. The blanket has folded, hemmed edges for durability and is made from 100% recycled polyester fleece. These blankets will make a fine addition to your dog’s bed. They work great for lining the bottom of the crate to give your pup a soft surface to lay on while they are in there. Everyone knows that As Good as Gold dogs never jump on the furniture, but just in case yours is one of the few who missed that lesson, this blanket is perfect for protecting your favorite chair if your pup jumps on it. When the blanket gets dirty, it can be machined washed and dried to make it look like new again. Best of all, the blanket proudly displays the As Good as Gold logo embroidered on the corner. -
There is one thing that most dogs have in common: Fur. It gets everywhere during shedding season. This lint brush does a great job to get that dog fur out of your furniture and off of your clothes. It works on car upholstery, too. I used this brush for the first time to clean the upholstery and carpet in my car and I got fur out that was there for years. My recommendation is to use the brush with a handheld vacuum. Brush until the fur accumulates, then vacuum it up. Repeat until the job is done. When you are not using the brush to clean your home or car, use it to message your furry friend. The soft, flexible bristles give them a message that is even petter than petting. -
Hardwood floors. Tile floors. Vinyl floors. They are all the latest fashion. They make your home look spectacular. They also make your dog’s dishes slide around the house while they are trying to eat or drink. Here is the perfect solution: Just slip one of these mats under your pet’s food and water bowls. This mat has a textured vinyl surface on one side to grip to your dog’s bowls and a no slip bottom surface to grip that slippery floor. These mats measure 13 inches wide x 19 inches long x 3/32 inch thick. Is your dog a sloppy eater? These mats readily wipe clean with a wet cloth. In the center of each mat, is the As Good as Gold logo to remind your furry friend who they can thank for finding them their wonderful home. Here is another use: The mat is the perfect size for use as placemat for your table. Use them for the humans in your home to protect your table from spills. -
O.K. You and your golden are all ready for a walk. You have water for yourself and for your dog, a water bowl for your dog, bags to pick up after your furry pal, treats for you and your dog. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a bag that would carry all of this stuff? Here it is. This pet accessory bag measures 9 ¾ inches long x 8 ½ inches wide x 5 inches deep. Plenty of room for all of your stuff. The bag has a Velcro secured pocket, a large zippered compartment, a mesh compartment for your water bottle, and a shoulder strap for easy carrying. Also included are two 5 inch diameter x 2 ¾ deep collapsible bowls and a 6 ½ inch long x 4 inch wide x 1 ¼ inch deep detachable zippered case with a belt clip. All of these items are made from durable, quick drying 600D polyester. The As Good as Gold logo is printed on the outside of the bag in full color. When you meet someone on your walk that asks you where you got that beautiful golden retriever, just point to the logo and tell them all about this wonderful organization. The pet accessory bag is also great for those road trips with your pup. -
Here is an item that both you and your furry friend can use. This cotton terry velour towel is ideal for your day at the beach or the lake. The towel measures 30 inches wide by 60 inches long. Plenty of towel to spread out on the sand, dry yourself or your dog after you have gone for a swim. This is not only an item for the summer. Keep one on hand by the door for those times when your golden insists on going out in the rain. Great for wiping the snow and mud off your dog after a walk. Most goldens will seek out, and roll in, any mud puddle that they can find. These towels are great for cleaning your golden before they roll around on your best rug. Best of all, the towels have the As Good as Gold logo embroidered on the corner. -
