As a family who loves the outdoors with our two pups, Kiki and Zamba, finding dog gear that actually stands up to both adventure and everyday life is no small task. Enter: OneTigris. We recently enjoyed a Sunday adventure with the whole family and …. spoiler alert: we were blown away.
Between our sassy Boston Terrier, Kiki and our powerful Rottweiler boy, Zamba, we need gear that’s not only stylish but seriously durable. From harnesses and leashes to travel-friendly beds and toys, OneTigris made this family outing smoother, safer, and a lot more fun.
The Harnesses: Comfort + Control
Let’s talk harnesses first. As any Rottweiler mom will know, they can be a bit of a tank on walks, but Zamba’s OneTigris harness held up beautifully. The fit was secure but comfortable, and the front-clip design gave us more control during our walk without restricting his movement. Not to mention the side pockets to store treats, poop bags or your car keys if need be! You can also add fun embellishments to stick on the side- of course we opted for the Rottweiler.
The Matching Leashes & Collars: Style Meets Strength
Okay, we’ll admit it—we love a good matching set. The collars and leashes looked great on both pups, but more importantly, they are built to last. No fraying, no awkward grips, and no slipping buckles. Both Kiki and Zamba felt secure and stylish. Kiki wears her pink collar and matching leash with pride.
Plus, Gia LOVED helping walk them with the soft padded leash handles. It became a team effort!
The Adventure Bed: Nap Time, Anytime
This one might be our favourite: the OneTigris portable raised dog bed. It folds up easily, is super lightweight- even Gia can carry it when it is made up! And gave an elevated spot to relax between activities or when one of the pups needed a short break. No wet grass, no dirty bellies—just chill vibes under the trees.
The Toys: Fetch Game Strong
We brought along a couple of OneTigris’ adventure balls. If you follow us over on Instagram then you’ll know just how ball obsessed Zamba is so these balls were a total hit with him! Tough enough to survive Zamba’s intense chew sessions, and light enough for Kiki to carry around like a prize. And fun enough for Gia to play fetch with her two best friends.
Family-Approved Fun
What really stood out to us about OneTigris is how thoughtfully designed everything is. It’s not just dog gear—it’s family adventure gear. Every item added value to our outing, from the ease of packing to the peace of mind we had knowing our dogs were safe and comfortable.
Gia was able to join in every step of the adventure, holding leashes, throwing balls, and helping set up the dog bed. She loved being involved, and it turned into a full family bonding experience. We made memories that’ll last a lifetime—and took plenty of Instagram-worthy photos along the way.
Ready to Try It?
If you’re a dog-loving family who’s always on the move, we can’t recommend OneTigris enough. Their products are tough, stylish, and genuinely improve the adventure experience—for both humans and pups.
We have an awesome discount code for you: When shopping on Amazon here use “InfluencerUS” at checkout for some extra savings on your purchase. Because if there’s one thing we learned this weekend, it’s that when the dogs are happy, everyone’s happy.
Here’s to more muddy paws and memory filled adventures, with gear that keeps up with it all.

It’s hard to believe that our two hooligans are in fact two years old! It’s safe to say there hasn’t been a dull day because one way or another both Kiki and Zamba make us giggle daily, and I cant thank them enough for it.
It’s been two years since we suddenly lost Zara and our hearts were shattered into a million pieces! But it has also been two years of slowly repairing our broken hearts and learning to love again when we didn’t think it was possible.
When I first laid eyes on Kiki, she completely took my breath away because she was so tiny! As the saying goes though, dynamite comes in small packages and oh boy did Kiki come into our home with a boom! She has a spark in her that I can relate to being an Aires myself. It’s a spark I hope she never looses because in all honesty it makes Kiki, Kiki.
Then I cast my eyes on Zamba and instantly burst into tears because obviously he reminded me of Zara simply because he is a Rottweiler too. But thats where the resemblance stays. We didn’t want to ‘replace’ Zara, however Zara is the girl who changed our perception as a family on the Rottweiler breed. And for that I can never thank her enough! In all his fluffy glory, my baby bear Zamba sat there, looked into my eyes and I just knew he was my boy! He has grown into the most goofiest, mischievous and needy but oh so lovable boy I could ever have dreamed of!
So today we celebrate the day that both Kiki and Zamba stepped into our hearts and we fell head over heels in love…
No celebration would be complete without a birthday cake, so here is the recipe for Kiki and Zamba’s Gotcha Day Cakes.

We are no strangers to the Learning Resources brand, in fact, it is our top brand for interactive, educational and fun toys for kids!
If you’ve ever asked your child, “How was school today?” and received a one-word response like “Fine” or “Good”—then this review is for you.
If you follow us on Instagram, then you’ll know that Gia started Year One, back in August 2024. It was a big deal for us! Naturally so many things changed in our daily routine, we became busier with afternoon sporting activities and engulfed with homework which lead to less time to really talk. I found myself casually asking Gia how her day was in the car while on our way to the next activity and her usual answer became “fine mom”.
We parents deserve better than vague answers and shrugging shoulders. Enter Learning Resources’ Unpack Your Day Conversation Kit—the game-changer in parent-child communication.
What Is the Unpack Your Day Kit?
This isn’t just a deck of cards with random questions—it’s a thoughtfully designed conversation starter kit that has really helped Gia open up about her day in ways I never imagined. Instead of basic, yes-or-no questions, it gives creative, engaging prompts that actually gets Gia talking.
What Makes It So Great?
Instead of “Did you have fun today?”, you’ll ask things like “What was the funniest thing that happened at school today?” or “If today was a colour, what would it be and why?” Genius, right?
Some questions are deep, while others are downright hilarious, making it easier for Gia to relax and share more.
There is also no need for an hour-long interrogation—you just pick a card and start a meaningful conversation. We like to set our Rainbow Visual Timer from Learning Resources too, we set it to 15 minutes (it can be set for 1, 3, 5 &15 minutes- it is AWESOME) and each day we have a meaningful conversation about Gia’s day!
The first time we used this kit, Gia and I laughed so hard they almost fell off their chair. Instead of the usual “School was fine” response, I got a full breakdown of who said what at break time, and the latest dramatic canteen story. It was like suddenly unlocking a behind-the-scenes look at Gia’s school life—without the guesswork!
Our final Verdict
A Must-Have for Parents!
Some children find it difficult to open up and this kit will truly help you connect with your child. Unpack Your Day is a total game-changer. It turns after-school chats into fun, meaningful conversations that deepen your bond and keep you in the loop about your child’s world.
Want to try it for yourself? Get your Unpack Your Day Kit here! Your future self will thank you when you finally know who swapped who’s school bag in the locker! 😆
