Gear for the Adventurous Dog

Letting your dog come along and enjoy your active lifestyle can be exciting for you both. It takes a little bit of planning and even some special gear, but you and your dog can be prepared and ready for the great outdoors in no time. If you will be spending lots of time outdoors, you can even hike or walk in areas where your dog can go off-leash for some time. The perfect gear for this sort of activity is a dog harness combined with a leash and a dog backpack.

Since you will doubtless need food, water and other things, also, this can be a lot to carry. But with a great backpack, your dog can carry her items while you carry yours. Not only can this supply your pet some more exercise, it can usually help her focus on what she’s doing and make her less prone to become distracted and try running or pull against her leash.

Don’t weigh your dog down with items, but adding some to a back pack could be a good idea. Let your pet wear the pack empty at first, since she’d take a while to start liking the concept of having the new bulk on her back.

Carrying water along on adventures is vital, but who has room to carry an awkward dog bowl? Feeding and watering your dog calls for one, however. A folding dog bowl is the perfect solution. These bowls fold flat and can fasten to a dog harness, collar, leash or belt with the attached snap-hook.

You can also put it in your dog’s back-pack or your pack to carry along. You simply unfold the bowl inside out to offer your dog water and/or food. The material dries fast, so you can fold it back up and be on your way in virtually no time.
