Summer is here, and that means one thing: it’s time for sunshine, sniffing new spots and making memories with your furry best friend! Whether you're heading out on a city stroll or escaping to the countryside, we've put together a summer checklist so your dog or cat is ready for whatever the season brings.
1. Comfy, Secure Harness
The foundation of any good adventure! Our breathable, adjustable harnesses are made with lightweight fabrics to keep your dog or cat cool and comfy. For summer, try designs like Meadow, Blossom or Paws Ahoy, perfect for long days outdoors.
2. Matching Lead & Collar
Coordinate in style with a full set. Our leads are sturdy but soft in hand, and our collars are designed for everyday wear. Bonus points for matching bow ties or sailor bows, because adventures should be fashionable too!
3. Poop Bag Holder
Functional doesn’t have to mean boring. Our poop bag holders clip neatly onto your lead and come in matching designs to your set. Always be prepared, but make it cute!
4. Nose & Paw Balm
Hot pavements, rough trails and long walks can dry out paws and noses. Our handcrafted, all-natural Paw & Nose Balm is soothing, moisturising and easy to pop in your bag. A summer essential for dogs and cats alike!
5. Cooling Water Bowl or Bottle
Always pack water, especially on warmer days. Pets can overheat quickly, and hydration is key. Portable collapsible bowls or bottles with built-in dishes are great for travel.
6. ID Tag & Microchip Info
Make sure your pet's collar has an ID tag with your contact details, and check their microchip info is up to date before travelling.
7. Sun Safety
Avoid walking in the heat of the day, and provide shade during breaks. Remember, cats and dogs can get sunburn too, especially those with white or thin fur. Stick to early morning or evening outings when it's cooler.
Final Tip
Snap some photos! Adventures are about fun and bonding, so don’t forget to document those happy tails and whiskery smiles. From park walks to beach trips, Pipkin and Bella have everything you need to make this your pet’s best summer yet! ☀️🐾
