Man’s best friend has been a faithful accompaniment on outdoor adventures for centuries, long before the advent of gear aimed at the creature’s comforts. Nowadays, a hike or a camping trip is hardly official without a furry friend to enjoy nature with, but that doesn’t mean the animal should be any less accommodated than he would expect to be at home, if not more so. If your four-legged friend is a frequent companion on your outdoor trips, consider getting him or her the appropriate gear to make the trip easy and efficient for both of you. They already love you, but they’ll flip over this gear!
Granite Gear High Visibility Coat
If you’ve got a large dog, chances are good they don’t escape your line of vision that often. Still, when out in the woods, why take a chance that your dog could stray further than expected, or worse yet, be mistaken for game by a unwitting hunter? Outfit him in this coat from Granite Gear. Not only is it brightly colored, it features four reflective strips along the length of the body so he’ll stand out at night. Lined with fleece on the inside, this coat will also keep that doggy warm and cozy.
Granite Gear Dog Booties (Set of 2)
Dogs’ feet are equipped with more durable padding than human feet, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t susceptible to temperature and injury. These dog booties from Granite Gear slip on paws easily for better traction on snow, and the velcro straps to secure them snug around the legs have reflective tape for higher visibility. These booties are sure to give your best friend an advantage in the frozen outback.
You don’t accept anything less than the best rest you can get on your camping trips, so why should your faithful companion? This dog bed from Mountainsmith is portable, washable, and stuffable, so you can ensure your pooch sleeps in total comfort on any outdoor adventure. The underside is weather resistant, which helps keep the heat close to your dog’s body and the moisture out. Plus, it compresses down into its own stuffsack when not in use!
