Dane Ranchin’ Tools
we are happy to share some of our Favorite Great Dane things (read as, tested and possibly not yet destroyed).
Take our recommendations with a grain of salt, Chat with your vet and decide what works best for you and your Dane.
Eat. {Play}. Love.
Victor Classic - High Energy, Dry Dog Food
We typically feed Victor High Energy to all of our Great Danes, from puppy to adults. They do exceptionally well on it.
Diamond Premium Puppy
The littlest Great Dane puppers sometimes head out eating the goodness inside this purple bag. While we could say we only feed it because purple is our oldest’s favorite color and she rules the roost … the truth is, the puppies and mamas get chubby on it. And chubby is our favorite.
Gorilla Grip Silicone Pet Feeding Mat
Choose from lots of great colors. We are pretty partial to the turquoise, but to each their own. ;)
Outward Hound Fun Feeder Slo Bowl
Whoever said “don’t play with your food” clearly never had a fun feeder. Porter, our newest little Great Dane dude, really likes this one. Or, maybe he doesn’t and he gets frustrated because it makes him eat slower. At any rate, that’s the point, and you should get one. :-)
Dane-Sized Accessories
K9 Ballistics Chew Proof Aluminum Elevated Dog Bed
Our good girl Zara loves her super XL bed like this one. And really, it’ll hold up to all that your puppy will do to it. It’s also lightweight but strong. Basically, if we could heart-eyes an elevated dog bed — it would 100 percent be this one.
Most importantly, IT SHIPS ALREADY PUT TOGETHER. Well, minus the legs … but they screw in, in less than 5 minutes. So. Winning.
We should also share that we tried a LARGE quantity of the “basics” dog bed from a popular distributor. It should be noted that while cheap, they are frustrating to put together; and, will likely need to be replaced in a year or less. Do with that information what you will.
XXL Giant Dog Crate
Buyer beware, two person assembly required.
Serta Ortho Quilted Pillowtop Pet Bed
Highly recommended by, well, everything that is not a puppy. Linking the large size below, but we prefer the XL size. NOT recommended for year one (puppy things, ya’ know).
Mighty Paw Leather Dog Collar
It’s the smell of new leather for us.
It’s also ruggedly handsome and gives that “fresh from the ranch” street cred — if your beach bum, or city street walker, needs that kind of thing in his life. No discrimination here — our girls also wear these on their dainty necks.

Handmade 6-Foot Paracord Multipurpose Dog Leash
This leash, a definite gem, comes recommended straight from Lily’s family in Colorado, Pearce Danes Posse members. Also -- it’s handmade in Oklahoma, so we will call that one a win.
Halti Headcollar and Training Lead Combination Pack
Halt, collaborate and listen. Put a halt to tugging and pulling on long walks with your four-legged pal.
KONG - Tire for Power Chewers
Chewers gonna’ chew. For the dog needing new tread.
KONG - Extreme Goodie Bone for Power Chewers
We’ve got a bone to pick with you … JK. The good comments were taken.
What you need to know in three words: Power. Chewer. Approved.
Becky with the Good Hair {and Skin}
Vetericyn
The dogs. The horses. The cows. The humans. We put it on everything with a wound or irritation.
