Pet Bag Essentials that Every Dog Owner Needs

 

Travelling or as simple as going out with your dog is a rewarding experience. I am making a point to have Chelsea go with us as much as we can even if we are just running errands. As a “praning” dog mom I am always prepared and having pet bag essentials ensures that Chelsea is comfortable and happy. The following are the things that I always bring on a quick errand/walk.

The bag -  we don’t need to be extravagant when it comes to the bag. I am just using my trusted shoulder bag that can hold a lot and everything that Chelsea needs is covered. There are two main compartments and  a small infront of the bag.

Leash and Harness - harness is essential when going out; I prefer Chelsea to wear a harness instead of collar because it provides better control and reduces the risk of injury in sudden movements or accidents.

Collapsible Bowl and a water bottle - Golden retrievers are high energy dogs. It is important for them to stay hydrated for their well being. I got her bowl at Shopee and water bottle at Daiso.

Treats - If we are just out and doing errands, I am not bringing dog food with us just a little treats as a reward for good behaviour outside

Waste Disposal Bags - Always carry waste disposal bags with you to clean up after your dog. We need to be courteous to other people and the establishment that were in.

Extra Diaper - even though that Chelsea is crate trained [She poops and pee in her crate once we are back]  I am constantly carrying an extra diapers for emergency purposes

Pet Wipes - To maintain hygiene especially if she walked outside, it is our habit to wipe her paws when we got back to the car

Vaccination Card - This probably is the most important one. I always always bring her records because there are establishments that requires to show us proof before entering.

I hope that this list helps you to pack the essentials that your furry friend needs when you are going outside. They are few might be a few things that you want to add, do what’s best for your peace of mind
