TropiClean Fresh Breath Water Additive
Dog breath never smells great, usually because dogs eat dog food that doesn't smell great. There are also a host of other reasons for bad breath which include bacterial growth which can damage your dog's teeth. That's where TropiClean comes in as a quick and simple additive to your dog's water bowl that will keep your dog's breath fresh so you don't have to lean away when they come in for kisses. Just make sure to add the TropiClean after the bowl is filled with water. Dogs tend to dislike the foam caused by filling up the water bowl with the TropiClean already present.

Musher's Secret Paw Balm
Cracked paw pads have been a real issue for Cerberus both when we up the amount of hiking on rocky terrain as well as dryness caused from winter cold. Musher's Secret has been a life-saver for his paws for the last few years. It's helped calm the itching that causes him to lick his paws especially during the winter. As a side note, your dog will try to lick this off their paws after you apply it which is totally fine. This is safe for them to consume and they will not lick off enough for it to become ineffective.

DakPets Deshedding Tool
The deshedding tool has really helped with managing Cerberus's sleek, short coat. Doberman fur specifically can be difficult to groom with a large, long-prong brush. I like to use this deshedding tool after his bath and he's dried off because the fur seems to come off the most easily after that. This specific tool has a detachable head if you prefer to hold just that but comes attached to a handle.

Warren London Guava & Mangosteen Hydrating Butter
Warren London Guava lotion is something that I use for Cerberus almost every week. It smells good and keeps his coat hydrated and healthy, and of course he really likes the pampering and having this rubbed in. It also helps with minor deshedding since loose fur will come off as you rub it in. I like to towel him off after applying this lotion to clean up any remaining loose fur and grease.

Girl With The Dog Shampoo Sprayer
The Girl With The Dogs Shampoo Sprayer is pretty much just a garden hose add on that has allows you to toggle between dispensing plain water and dog shampoo with several spray settings. I generally use the shower setting using just water to get Cerberus wet and then adjust the sprayer to dispense the shampoo and rub that in manually. Is it much better than a commercial hose add on? Probably not, but it is conveniently and works well specifically for dog baths.

gonicc Dog Nail Clippers
If you have a Doberman, then you're familiar with the massive dark nails that can be tricky to trim since there are no visible blood vessels in the nails so you don't always know how much to take off. That's the beauty of these specific nail clippers because they have a guard that precents you from taking much off at a time which gives you more assurance that you won't accidently hit a blood vessel.
