Summer is the time to enjoy outdoor activities and festivals. This weekend is the StreetFest at the Beaches International Jazz Festival in Toronto. If you are planning to bring your dog along, this post 101 Essentials Dog and Outdoor Events is for you! #Woof
{UNO} Doggy Back Pack to carry on all your dog’s items
{DOS} Apply Sunscreen to your dog! The sunscreen should be fragrance free, non-staining, and contain UVA and UVB barriers similar to sunscreens made for humans. Consult your veterinarian, but there are some sunscreens available made specifically for pets.
{TRES} Bring water! Provide plenty of water and keep your pup hydrated
{CUATRO} Don’t leave your dog in the car for any reason!! NO HOT PETS
{CINCO} Carry a portable bowl for your dog
{SEIS} Bring snacks but please only share with your dog! Northern and Hero Dog Treats are great for breaking into small pieces.
{SIETE} Poop and scoop. Don’t forget to bring the poop bags. Earth Rated poop bags and dispenser are our go to go!
{OCHO} Hands free leash. We use Smoochy Poochy
{NUEVE} Bring a phone or camera to snap some photos!
{DIEZ} Cooling Jacket. My boxers can’t handle the heat very well so a cooling jacket is a must. Check out Must Love Dogs or Hurtta
{ONCE} Avoid heat stroke. Beware of the amount of time you are out walking. Look at your dog’s signs of tiredness and take breaks under shaded areas
