Gear to keep your pooch happy and healthy in the dog days of summer

Gear to keep your pets safe, comfortable and entertained this summer — and beyond.

If the sun is out, Seattleites — and their canine pals — are outside taking full advantage. But dogs need more than a leash and last year’s chew toy to enjoy the hiking trail, a boat ride or your family camping trip.

Here’s some gear to keep your pets safe, comfortable and entertained this summer — and beyond.

On the water

Headed to the beach? Be sure to pack a few floating toys, such as Cycle Dog’s Flat Tire Flyer($14), made from post-consumer recycled material, or West Paw’s Bumi Tug Toy ($11–$15, both at Mud Bay), which can be used for games of fetch or tug-of-war in or out of the water.
