I get asked all the time "what is that?" - "where did you get that?" when it comes to stuff my fans see in my videos and photos...
So that's why we're putting all our favorite stuff here in an easy list! These are all products that we truly use, trust, and enjoy - and would be great for your own dachshund or dog, or sometimes yourself!
1) Buddy Rider Bike Seats for Dogs
Whenever we appear in our bike seats, we get asked allllll the time about these!
The Buddy Rider is one of our favorites lately, as I'm doing a lot of bikes rides in my senior years these days.
Unlike other bike seats for dogs, the Buddy Rider attaches between your legs and between your hands, so the dog is perfectly centered and upfront - not hanging off the front handlebars in a basket, and not towed behind in a trailer.
It's really the optimal spot since us dogs always want to be 'in front'!
We own and use their bike seats both at our house in Florida and our home in Canada. I actually didn't even realize until now that they're a Canadian company working on re-opening sales within the US (tariffs are making it too expensive to import directly for them per their website), but you can buy direct from their Canadian store here to have shipped to the US.
2) My Dog Stroller by Gen7Pets
In terms of outdoor strollers, we really enjoy our Gen7Pets Jogger.
It has 3 large wheels, so can handle some trails and offroad terrain. It folds flat pretty nicely, and just overall pretty sturdy and solid. I've had mine for several years now, and have even flown it to Europe and back, so it's a little banged up but still holding strong!
It's also got space enough for Daphne and I, and sometimes we even throw Oakley into the lower storage compartment!
Buy the stroller here on Walmart.com.
3) PremierSki Stroller Skis
Speaking of our stroller, what about in the winter?
If you own a dog stroller or a baby stroller and like to walk out in the snow, you probably know how difficult and crazy bumpy it can be maneuvering that thing through snow, ice, and slush...
We found these stroller skis a few years back and they have been a godsend for our walks through the woods on our favorite trails.
They attach onto stroller wheels with a little strap super easily, and it's a night and day different to how easy and smooth the stroller moves in the snow afterwards!
Buy them here on Amazon.
4) Buddy Belts Harnesses
Buddy Belts harnesses are our absolute favorite, nicest-looking, and all-around best harnesses we've ever owned.
They aren't bulky, which I love (doesn't hide my muscles and physique) - they come in all kinds of different colors - and are made of real leather that's durable, comfortable, and just plainly, always in style.
You can get 10% off with code CRUSOE10 at buddy-belts.com.
5) Sherpa Airplane Pet Carrier
Also a common one we get asked about is our pet travel carriers.
We love these ones by Sherpa as they are the perfect size for us dachshunds, they hold their shape but are still soft enough to squish and be positioned well under a seat (some carriers are very rigid and it's very inconvenient trying to get it under the seat).
They also have mesh all around so we always can see what's going on, and are just all-around the best pet carrier we've tried - as in our experience, you want something simple, minimalist, lightweight, and soft but holds its shape.
Find them on Amazon here.
6) DoggoRamps Dog Ramps for the Bed & Couch
Yes, my Dad created these ramps but they are undoubtably one of the biggest components of our safety and quality of life at home.
DoggoRamps all use a special PAWGRIP surface that gives us really good traction for going up and down with zero slipping. And especially for an IVDD dog like myself, this is really important.
All the ramps also have the option of strong and sturdy side rails to prevent falls or shortcut jumps (also super important). Plus they're all adjustable height to fit perfectly at your bed or couch.
But beyond just the how well they work, the ramps are made of solid hardwood & made in North America - true furniture grade quality, unlike other ramps that are soft pine, made in China, and don't last!
They also come in 5 finish options to match your home. Here's me with the Coastal Grey at the beach house.

7) Outward Hound Dog Puzzles
We love a good puzzle game! It's so great for keeping our minds sharp - especially for me as a 16 year old dachshund now.
Outward Hound has a variety of puzzles of different difficulties. As much as I hate to admit it, Daphne is pretty dang smart and she does the toughest ones, while I prefer the easy ones..
Because hey, I don't want to think so hard I might hurt myself!
Find these puzzles on Amazon here.
8) My Adorable Dachshund Christmas Sweater
This one is for the hoomans, but if you enjoy our antics or just cute dogs/dachshunds in general, you can't go wrong with our super cute dachshund Christmas sweater, which every year since we launched it is always one of our most popular items around the holidays.
And there's still time to get it before Christmas!
Buy on bonfire here.
9) My Absolute Favorite Squeaky Balls
These balls helped define my brand and personality! I've loved these balls since I was a little pup. They are very soft, rubbery, and make a nice LOUD SQUEAK!
I used to take them everywhere! I'd squeak them on the plane.. at the beach.. at 11:30pm at night..
Anywhere, anytime!
In fact, they even inspired my mobile game called Crusoe's Squeaky Ball POP!
But anyway, if you want to give your dog these same squeaky balls, maybe as a nice squeaky stocking stuffer, you should - but be warned, they're loud!

10) My Sun Hat
Ok I'll admit this one cannot be purchased since this is a custom hat Dad made for me. However, it's something people ask about a lot... and it's really the only hat I've ever seen with a large enough brim to actually block the sun...
It's really the best hat that exists for dogs. There is a soft wire along the edge of the brim, so you can shape it to exactly as you want... You can keep it relatively flat like above, or keep it super curved to block the most sun and reflective UV rays... especially off snow and water.
So I want to know from you....
