12 Father's Day Gifts for Dog Lovers in 2021





What is the best present for a dog loving dad? Every year, this question has us stumped...

We hope that some of these gift suggestions will help you celebrate Father's Day 2021 on Sunday 5th September, which hopefully we will get to spend enjoying outdoor adventures with our dogs...




The Kurgo Wander Hammock Car Seat Cover is a must if your dog travels in the car! 

Durable and waterproof, this seat cover protects your seats from loose fur, drool and other pet messes. 

With secure loops to fit around your car's headrests, the Wander Hammock - available in Hampton Sand or Charcoal - is easy to install and has seatbelt openings so you can secure your dog whilst travelling.

For those long road trips, the Kurgo Enhanced Strength Tru-Fit Harness will ensure your dog's safety. The Tru-Fit Smart Harness has been crash tested with dog dummies weighing up to 34 kg, making it one of the safest dog car harnesses on the market!

Small and powerful, the Tech4Pets 4G Smart Pet Tracker allows you to keep an eye on your pet anytime, wherever you are. 
With the SeTracker2 App, you can use geo-fence to send an alert to you if your pet leaves a preset safety area. In case of an emergency, press and hold the SOS button to immediately call you and if you do not answer, the pendant tracker will circularly call 3 pre-set emergency numbers. 

The GPS and historical route tracks your pet’s exact location anytime. To save on battery, the power saving mode pauses the tracker if your pet is not active or resting.

In Afghanistan, sometimes all that stands between coalition troops and death or serious injury is a dog. Highly trained dogs and their handlers search for improvised explosive devices or hidden weapons out on patrol with combat troops.

It’s a perilous job, often putting them right in the firing line, and making them high priority targets for the Taliban insurgents they’re fighting.

Shane Bryant, a former Australian Army dog handler, spent 10 years in Afghanistan working with elite American special forces and training other handlers and dogs. War Dogs is his story – a riveting true account of the hidden war in the mountains and cities of the world’s most dangerous conflict, and the comradeship between man and dog that has saved numerous lives.

This re-released updated edition of War Dogs by 
Shane Bryant & Tony Park looks at the effects a decade of service as a contractor had on Shane, his personal life and his mental health as he faced a new enemy: post-traumatic stress disorder.

RRP: $7.51 (paperback) from Amazon Australia
