A good, comfortable day-pack is essential for hiking with the dog. This one contains water for her and her humans, a folding bowl, external poop bag (always carry it out!), first-aid kit (for dogs and people) and plenty of treats are a must for longer excursions.
Our trusty Subaru, always ready for an adventure with the pupper.
Traveling with a dog is fun and rewarding but requires a little extra planning – activities usually have to be centered outdoors, dining can be challenging in some areas and swarms of tourists could prove stressful for dog and human alike. Consider traveling in the shoulder seasons (early Spring or early Fall) to catch good weather but avoid the crowds.
