`PAW-SOME ADVENTURE PET CANINE GEAR

The latest products for your adventure pet

With summer here, family trips with adventure pets are bound to happen. Perhaps you travel with your adventure pet year-round.

With so many options out there, seeking items beyond the local chain store is sometimes necessary to find exactly what you need. From food crates to dog beds and water bowls, we’re here to help you hunt down the latest effective and quality pet gear available.

We take a page from our story about traveling safely with your dog (“Four Wheels and Four Legs,” page 62). Included are some options for a first aid kit, travel dog bowls, and more. Let’s face it—your furry adventure pet needs some great outdoor gear.

Filson/Dog Bowl

Every adventure dog needs a good travel bowl. The collapsible dog bowl from Filson folds to store in a pocket or clips onto your pack with the attached hanging loop. Choose oil-finished Tin Cloth or acrylic Blaze Orange. Both have a nylon lining and hold water, food and treats for your pup.

RUFFWEAR/MARTINGALE DOG COLLAR

A good collar for your best friend is a necessity, and one that adds extra levels of safety is even better. We like the Web Reaction Collar from RuffWear. It’s a martingale collar with a buckle for easy on and off. The reflective Tubelok webbing helps you see your pup in the dark or for others to see you if you’re out walking at night. The martingale feature is handy for those dogs who back out of traditional collars and provides more control when your dog is on a leash. There’s also a separate ID tag attachment point with a silicone tag silencer.

The protector is water-resistant and breathable and features Orvis’ Grip-Tight backing, which holds the hammock securely in place. It’s made from polyester and is machine washable to keep things fresh.
