Huge Hounds

  From your favorite co-founders, Sadie & Martin Let’s face it—big dogs come with big needs. From roomy raincoats to strong harnesses, everything has to be built to size. And when it comes to staying hydrated? Oh, don’t even get us started. We’re talking about big dog water bowls —specifically, the kind that can travel with you on all your messy, muddy, magnificent adventures.                                       Why Travel Bowls Matter for Big Dogs Big dogs drink a lot of water. We’re not sipping—we’re slurping, lapping, and probably making a mess while we’re at it (okay, mostly Sadie). But when you’re on the go—hiking, road-tripping, camping, or just out for a day in the sun—a bowl that fits our needs isn’t optional. It’s essential. Regular-sized bowls? They’re cute, but not gonna cut it. Pl...

  Puddle-Jumping Tips from Sadie & Martin of HugeHounds.com Let’s be real—rainy days are no excuse to skip your walks (believe us, we’ve tried). But for us big dogs, heading out into the drizzle without the right gear? That’s a recipe for soggy fur, muddy bellies, and a whole lot of post-walk cleanup. I’m Sadie, your Saint Bernard and official puddle-splasher-in-chief here at HugeHounds, and this is Martin, my pint-sized partner with big opinions and a very tiny raincoat. Together, we’re sharing our rainy day must-haves—because big or small, we all deserve to stay dry, safe, and stylish when the clouds roll in.   Why Rain Gear for Big Dogs is a Big Deal Most people assume we big dogs can handle anything—and while we can conquer most things, we’re not exactly waterproof. Rain can mean: Soaked fur that takes hours to dry Mud-caked paws and bellies Risk of chills and skin irritation Slippery sidewalks and less control on leash That’s why we created a line of XXL dog clothe...

By Sadie & Martin, Next-Gen of HugeHounds.com Choosing between a harness and a collar might seem like a simple decision, but for big dogs, it's a big deal. As the newest members of the HugeHounds leadership team (Sadie the St. Bernard here and Martin the Pug reporting in), we’ve learned a lot about what really works for our fellow plus-sized pups—and we’re here to share the scoop. Let’s break it down: which is truly better for a large dog—a harness or a collar? Here’s what we’ve sniffed out. Why Collars Might Not Cut It for Big Dogs Collars are great for ID tags and light leash attachment, especially for quick outings or for pups who don’t pull. But when it comes to large or giant breeds, collars come with a few concerns: Pressure on the neck : A collar can put strain on the trachea and spine if your dog pulls or if the leash is jerked suddenly. For big dogs with big strength, that’s a real issue. Lack of control : If your pup sees a squirrel or gets distracted on a walk, a co...

Big Dogs, Big Strength, Big Support—From Your Pack at HugeHounds Let’s be honest—finding a harness for large breed dogs that actually fits and works shouldn’t be this hard. But for years, we heard it over and over from big dog parents: “Everything slips, pulls, breaks, or chokes my dog.” So, we decided to fix it. I’m Sadie, a proud 140+ pound Saint Bernard and Chief Product Tester at HugeHounds. Alongside my partner-in-paws, Martin the Pug (small but mighty), we’ve made it our mission to create gear that actually works for big dogs like me—and doesn’t leave our humans frustrated. Why Big Dogs Need a Better Harness Big dogs come with big power. From Great Danes to Newfoundland’s, Saint Bernards (hi!) to Mastiffs—our bodies are strong, our chests are deep, and our necks? Well, they weren’t designed for flimsy gear or traditional collars. That’s why a heavy duty dog harness is more than just a walking accessory—it’s a necessity. Here’s what the wrong harness can do: Put pressure on th...
