The days are getting longer and the weather warmer, which means summer is just around the corner. With so many fun outdoor activities to choose from, it can be hard to decide which ones to include your furry best friend in. We’ve rounded up five ways to keep your dog happy, engaged and active all summer long.
Planning a trip to a local campsite or a weekend in the wild? Summer is the perfect season for camping with your dog. Whether they are lounging around the site or joining you on a trail, the right gear will keep your pup comfortable in the great outdoors.
Pack an Outdoor Dog Tent to give your pet a secure space that offers shade from the sun and protection from the elements. If you have your own tent, your dog should too.
Don’t forget to bring a Trailblazing Coat. Warmer temperatures bring more bugs, and this lightweight coat helps shield your dog from insects and dirt while keeping them visible with reflective piping during low light hours.
Beach trails, mountain hikes and wooded paths are all ideal summer adventures. The fresh air and variety of scents will have your pup wagging with joy.
Bring along an Explorer Pack to store treats, a water bottle and poop bags with ease. Its design helps you stay hands free and trail ready!
Tuck a Landscape Series Travel Bowl into the pack to keep your pup hydrated. If you're feeling the heat, your dog definitely is too. Take regular water breaks to stay cool and energized.
For high energy dogs, build an agility course in your backyard or at a local park. Use the PLAY Tunnel as a core obstacle and supplement with DIY challenges made from items you already have at home.
Encourage your pup through each task with praise and treats. A Deluxe Training Pouch makes rewards easy to access while keeping your hands free.
For dogs and people who enjoy relaxing in the sunshine, a picnic is the perfect outing. Head to a park with your favorite snacks, cold water and a comfy setup.
Keep your picnic fun by having toys like the Go-Go Astro Ball for your pup to toss and chew around - and don't be worried if your pup is a super chewer because there's a second hidden ball within for double the fun!
Don't forget to bring an outdoor bed like the Scout and About Outdoor Bed or Outdoor Chill Pad, so they can lounge in comfort beside you, but don’t be surprised if you end up lying on it too - It is just that cozy!
When you are not out exploring, keep your dog engaged at home with a treat-filled toy. The IncrediBall is a durable ball that bounces, floats and doubles as a treat dispenser. Try an EverLick Mat as well, for another way to keep your dog engaged as they search for treats.
Fill either with your dog’s favorite peanut butter or yogurt-based snacks. For an extra cool-down, freeze the stuffed toy before giving it to your pup. It turns treat time into a fun and refreshing activity, while being easy to clean and dishwasher safe!
