ASD - Dog Truck Ramp ASD Dog Truck Ramp As dogs age, the impact of continuous loading and unloading in the back of a pickup can put a lot of unnecessary stress on joints. The ASD Dog Truck Ramp from Banded/Avery is a great solution for those of us with aging gun dogs. It is completely foldable and can be stored easily. It is made of non-slip fabric; the surface is light and integral steps make climbing up and coming down a breeze.

Burr Paw Mitten Burr Paw Mitten Watching the live demonstration Burr Paw put on at Pheasant Fest had us instantly sold. This Velcro-like mitten is designed for fast and easy removal from clothes, gear, and pets. It won’t take care of deeply twisted cockleburs, but smaller burrs come off dogs easily and effectively—which can be a huge time saver for those of us who run thick-coated breeds at the tailgate.
