Fashion On The Go

Whether you’re headed to the dog park or out for a weekend getaway, there are a few essentials every furry baby needs – and why not make sure you both are hitting the town in-style. As active (and destructive) as Bailey is – I never leave the house without a few staples, just in case we run into trouble.

Here are a few of our favorites to make sure we are both fashionable and prepared on the go.

• Eco-chic b. Happybags:  This adorable bag is large, comfortable and good for the environment. It’s made out recycled water bottles, which makes it extremely durable and soft. It’s machine washable and comes in a variety of colors and designs.

• Excel Ear Cleansing Pads: These pads are compact and easy to use. Bailey is not always cooperative with her ears, but doesn’t seem to mind these small wipes. You never know when water, dirt or slobber at the dog park might come into play.

• Neosporin: Too much rough housing during playtime, hot asphalt, or a nip at the park can happen anytime. We always carry Neosporin with us.

• Gentle & Tearless Vanilla Milk & Honey Wipes: A good wipe down after playing outside keeps everyone clean before getting in and out of the car – or entering the house.

• Cynthia Rowley Towel: If there is water around, Bailey will find it. Whether diving into a mud bath, pouncing in a puddle or rolling on fresh dew – she’s there.  Thankfully, our Cynthia Rowley towel is highly absorbent, quick drying and lightweight.

• Pinch Collar & Leash: We never leave the house without it! This is the ONLY way we can walk Bailey – it’s a lifesaver.

• Extra Collar: You never know what Fido might get into… and a quick collar change might be needed if there’s mud or water involved.

• Long Lead Rope Leash: Bailey’s not off-leash ready just yet. Our long lead rope gives her a little extra freedom if we find a quiet and open space (and Bailey is in her calm state).

• John Paul Pet Full Body & Paw Wipes:  No one wants a smelly doggie around. Bailey is notorious for following her nose and rolling around in scents. Body wipes are a great quick fix.
