Adventurous Dog Essentials

My dog Lily and I love to get out and explore! This stuff keeps her safe and makes our lives easier while camping, backpacking, hiking, or just wandering around town.

Great for backpacking or longer hikes! Lily carries her own food, socks, and poop bags.

Waist-leash with elastic! This thing is a game changer for long hikes. It helps my balance and agility so much to be hands-free.

I cannot leave the house without a good treat bag. Lily is incredibly food-motivated so this helps me keep her on her best behavior and train her while i do it. I love this for hikes but typically leave it home for backpacking.

Tent essential. No claws are touching my expensive down sleeping bag!! These also help keep your pup warm at night and dirt out of your tent.

The only collar Lily wears. I love that the buckle can lock! The reflective strips are great too. It's super durable and has held up great the last three years.

If you stop for water, odds are your dog needs some too. Clipping this to the outside of your pack makes things so quick and easy.

Don't forget your dog's sleep system! This thing is great and will help keep your pup warm at night. It's way better than the cut-up foam pad I used to use😅

I saw a real-life musher recommend this- it's good stuff! Perfect for dry or very cold weather. Also great for a little spa treatment after a long hike :)

I use as training treats, not food! Snag a smaller bag from your local pet store to try them out. Lily goes crazy for this stuff and it's cheaper than buying a ton of branded “training treats”. These were recommended to us by her professional trainer...

I don't actually have this, I just desperately want it. Lily moves around while she sleeps so she ends up slipping off her sleeping pad and out from under her blanket. Then I get woken up as she crawls into my bag🙃 This seems like a great way to kee...

Lily is NOT a hot weather dog. She also has pretty dark fur, so she can overheat easily. I like to splash some water on her belly and ears, then get this wet and tie it around her neck. It helps!

I don't take this whole thing out with me- I bring a few essentials and leave the rest in the car. It's great peace of mind to know I've got it in case something bad happens. And the emergency collar is such a great idea!

GAME CHANGER!! Wipe those muddy feet before you get back in the car! Also great for slobber after the dog park :) these come in mini travel packs too (I can't find them online though) so I keep a few in my car, pop one in my backpack, and never trave...
Petkin Big N' Thick Petwipes

Stink-be-gone. Lily has thick fur that holds on to unpleasant smells. Dog slobber, stinky mud, etc. This shampoo cleans her fur really well and leaves her smelling lovely (but not overpowering). It's also not too harsh on her somewhat sentitive skin....

Any rain jacket will do, honestly. If you're packing a raincoat, odds are you should pack something for your dog, too. Lily's specific Ruffwear rain jacket was discontinued but we treasure that thing! She takes forever to dry off and often shivers wh...
