Dog Gear Recommendations
Car Accessories
Backseat Dog Hammock
I used this when I had my Honda Fit and it worked so great to protect my back seat.
Dog Seat Belt
This seat belt fastens to the headrest of any seat. Not only would it protect Copper in a crash but it keeps him contained in the car when opening a door. Make sure to only fasten it to a harness - never a collar
Front Seat Cover
Now that Copper rides shot gun I use this front seat protector. It helps keep the seat from being destroyed from dog nails and hair. It's not too difficult to remove for a human passenger either
Outdoor Gear
Dog Water Bottle
I cannot quantify how much I love this water bottle. It is so versatile and I've had dozens of people comment on it as well
Dog Lifevest
The sizing on this was wonky for Copper's muscular build. We ended up sizing up due to his weight to an XL but it isn't a risk of slipping off. Very practical with the leash loop and hand grab on top. It also still allows male dogs to pee :)
Dog hiking pack
On long hikes Copper carries his own water and supplies. This backpack has worked well for us
Shoes for Hot Weather
While Copper is not a fan of putting these shoes on, they have been very useful when we need to walk on hot pavement.
Light up nighttime collar
This glowing collar is essential for after dark walks. Hint: you can actually cut it to be your exact length with regular scissors .
Waste Bag Holder
After a year of holders breaking every 2-6 weeks this one has held up for almost 2 years.
Basic Dog Essentials
Dog Harness
Copper has worn this harness every day since I adopted him in 2021. Years later it has clearly been worn quite a bit but is still great!
Dog Crate
I bought this crate before I even adopted Copper. It has held up so well! It's relatively easy to fold up and compact for travel.
Slow Feeder Dish
Does your dog attempt to inhale their food as fast as Copper? This dog dish is great to force them to slow down and swallow their food.
The not so fun stuff...
Poop Bags
If you can find a more economical place to buy poop bags please share. 900 poop bags lasts us less than a year.
Nature's Miracle
If you have pets and haven't discovered Nature's Miracle yet. You're welcome. It's the best at cleaning up messes..
Noise protection hoodie
I call these Copper's "Thunder Ears". They help a lot to dampen loud noises and keep him calm during loud thunderstorms.
