hey dog mom.

Marion Ida is a fashion and beauty photographer in Vienna. Anyone who knows her work knows the tone: honest, close, full of feeling. Her lovestory shoots are not classic family photos. They are staged like an editorial, with the same fine eye she brings to magazine work.

Three package sizes for every stage of life: Mini for a spontaneous session, Medi for parents-to-be, Maxi for newborns with time for breaks and details. All images in colour and black and white, with no limit. And yes: your dog is very welcome as a co-star, which makes the Mini package a charming choice for a woman-and-dog shoot.

What is nicer than holding shared moments in a picture? For your family, for friends, for yourself. In a world where we store thousands of photos on a phone and never hold one of them in our hands, real pictures are a gift that moves people.

The Twisty Ball is a snuffle ball for curious dog noses, a game and a genuinely lovely design piece in one. Hide favourite treats between the layers and the searching, sniffing and puzzling begins. Mental work that visibly settles many dogs: a few minutes of focused sniffing can make a dog pleasantly tired.

Carefully made from cotton and in colours that suit a smart flat. The Twisty Ball is the snuffle toy you do not have to hide in a drawer.

VEGDOG is one of the few brands in vegan dog food that really know what they are doing, with product development that happens together with specialist vets. All-In Veluxe is the mineral powder that turns a home-cooked meal into a complete one.

The difference is in the details: vitamin B12, L-carnitine, taurine, DL-methionine. These are the amino acids and vitamins that home recipes typically lack. Home-cooked dog food without supplementation leads to deficiencies over time, which is not disputed in veterinary medicine. All-In Veluxe closes that gap and turns the well-meant into the genuinely good.

Hanfred has managed something the dog industry rarely pulls off: functional food you actually want to hang on your bag. The 4in1 Minis are single-protein snacks with four functional ingredients: hemp for mobility, milk thistle for a happy tummy, valerian for calm and lavender as a gentle balance.

The real trick is in the packaging. The zipper pouch has a loop and looks good enough to stay on the lead, on the rucksack, on the It bag. Functional treat meets accessory, a format Hanfred deliberately marked as a “Fashionable Edition”, because it belongs where dog accessories rarely land: the visible part of your outfit.

Small, clever, well chosen. Just right for anyone who hangs their snack pouch on their bag rather than hiding it in a drawer. Available in several varieties, horse, beef, game and chicken, each single protein for dogs with food sensitivities.

Some gifts are loud. And then there are QCHEFS dental flips, the quiet, honest gift that works. Five crunchy flips before bed: antibacterial milk peptides reduce bacteria in the mouth, so bad breath fades and clean teeth stay clean. The oral flora comes back into balance, with no brushing at all.

What sets QCHEFS apart from ordinary chew sticks: a scientifically grounded mechanism rather than mechanical friction. The flips, produced in Germany, are a natural alternative to professional dental cleaning, and especially relevant for small breeds such as dachshunds, chihuahuas or cavaliers, where gum disease is a common problem.

We developed the Beach Towel for dog mums who no longer want to dry their dog in a worn-out terry towel after every rainy walk. Foldable, feather-light, in a size that works on a sun lounger and is not too bulky for the boot of a car. The material pulls water away fast, so a dog bath is done in minutes.

Packed and ready in a gift box, so you can pass it straight on.

If you want to care for your dog with love and are looking for a gentle professional shampoo, take a closer look at Le Citron d'Amalfi by Jean-Fred Noël. This premium dog shampoo smells like a holiday in Italy, of organic lemons from Amalfi, sun-warmed and refined.

A well-judged formula: vitamin E and plant keratin care for a thick coat with undercoat, while lemon and lime extracts regulate sebum production and help prevent flaking. White dogs keep their bright white, poodle coats keep their volume, and dogs with undercoat get the care they deserve.
