Muttluks All-Weather Dog Boots
Lined with fleece for warmth and comfort, these boots help your snow Lab get through winter walks. The double-wrapped fastening system keeps them on securely, and the rugged but flexible sole protects paws from salt and ice.
Lab owner review: “My energetic Lab…sprinted around the dog park for 30 minutes AND they STAYED ON! He was loving it and didn’t fight it once! Our dog park is a gravel material so I bet it made his paws feel better while still doing what he loves!”

Waterproof Reflective Poncho
This large, lightweight poncho will keep your Lab dry in a rainstorm. The waterproof material drapes over your dog to keep water out, while elastic leg straps and an adjustable belly strap keep it firmly in place. Plus, it comes in several bright, fashionable colors!
Lab owner review: “My chocolate Lab thinks she is a toy poodle. She hates the water including the rain. Some water dog. I got this for her walks and she likes it much better than the cold rain…Guests at the park love how cute our girl looks in her rain coat and she now happily goes for rainy day walks without fuss.”

Shark Fin Flotation Vest
Labrador retrievers are water dogs, so a flotation device may not seem necessary. But if you take your Lab boating in open water, a safety vest provides necessary safety and peace of mind. This Lab floatation vest has adjustable nylon straps, quick release buckles, and a heavy duty fastening system to keep it secure. The strong handle, reflective accents, and ripstop material add extra safety. And the shark fin is awfully cute!
Lab owner review: “I bought this life jacket for my chocolate Lab pup Sam. He’s 7 months and was a little timid [of] the water, but after he got his new life jacket, he’s unstoppable! He loves it!”

Doggles Originalz Protective Eyewear for Dogs
Dog sunglasses protect your pup’s eyes from irritants and the elements. Doggles are one of the most-trusted brands, and they come in sizes that will fit even the biggest Labrador retriever head! The shatterproof lens and wrap-around style keep out dirt and debris, and the reflective coating shades dogs’ eyes from the sun.
Lab owner review: “My nine-month-old Lab has dry and allergic eyes that result in greenish discharge from his eyes after riding in the car with his head out the window. [I chose Doggles because] they look sturdy yet simple without any frills. The fit is almost perfect…All in all, a great and practical fashion statement that can save your pup’s eyes.”

Pawdicure Nail Polish Pen for Dogs
Is your Labrador retriever a true fashionista? This nontoxic polish pen lets you paint their nails to perfection. The polish is water-based, odorless, and dries in under 40 seconds. There are 15 bright colors to choose from.
Lab owner review: “We painted our 2-year-old chocolate Lab’s nails three weeks ago. She still has some on. It understandably wore off some after three days at the beach. After a touch-up [with a] second coat she looked pretty the rest of her vacation.”

Necktie for Dogs
Whether you’re looking for a pride costume, photo shoot accessory, or just an everyday business casual look, this rainbow necktie is a fun addition to your Lab’s wardrobe.
Lab owner review: “My 85 lb. black Lab loves his new formal wear! The Large/X-Large tie was a perfect fit for him. It’s a small tie as seen in the pictures, but this is ideal because it doesn’t get in the way at all. In fact, he didn’t even seem to notice he was wearing it, so we could leave it on for extended periods of time.”
