If you want your dog to enjoy off-leash freedom on fall camping trips or hikes, this is the ultimate peace of mind. Unlike older GPS collars, it doesn't rely entirely on cell service for the boundary. You can literally draw a custom perimeter on your...

A must-have for the transition into colder weather. As the frost starts to hit the ground, paw pads can get incredibly cracked and dry. I rub a little of this on my dog's paws after every long hike to keep them moisturized and protected from the elem...

Say goodbye to carrying a clunky bowl! This water bottle has a genius rollerball top so your dog can lick water straight from the bottle. The best part? The bottle rolls up flat when it's empty, taking up practically zero space in your hiking daypack...

My favorite harness for active trail days. It has a deep V-neck that keeps the shoulders completely free for running and scrambling over logs. The breathable mesh back is perfect for those weird fall days where it's cold in the morning but hot by noo...

Fall hikes mean wet leaves and thick mud that gets jammed deep inside your dog's paw pads. Do not let them track that into your truck or onto your rugs. You just add a little water to this tumbler, insert your dog's muddy paw, and twist. The super so...

My dog Bo likes to blast through heavy brush and thorns.  Standard slickers will rip instantly. The Kurgo Halifax is built from tough, PU-coated ripstop polyester that stands up to serious backcountry abuse. It has a horizontal harness opening with a hook-and-loop closure so you can easily attach a leash, a...
