Hiking and Running: Bring Fido on your next hike with the Top Paw™ Reflective Backpack. Made of lightweight material and decked out with handy compartments means pups can easily tote their own food, snacks and waste bags. Keep them nourished with TurboPUP complete meal bars, a portable, healthy food on-the-go. These all-natural, high-protein and grain-free bars are perfect for pet parents who get out with their dogs.

Camping: Collapsible bowls like the Petmate® Collapsible Travel Dog Bowl make hydration away from home a snap! The bowl collapses down to less than half an inch and is made of durable, non-porous silicone. Camping and other outdoor adventures are often synonymous with insects but you can help protect your pets from pests with an Insect Shield tee, neck gaiter or bandana. This lightweight gear is designed to provide long-lasting, effective, odorless insect protection.

Beach Bumming: For pups that love to romp in the water, the Top Paw® Neoprene Reflective Life Jacket offers versatility and athletic styling. A durable rescue handle makes it easy to help dogs out of the water in the event of an emergency. For pups who prefer a more leisurely beach experience, the Martha Stewart Pets® Flamingo Swimsuit will have them beach-ready and adorable.

Playing in the Puddles: PetSmart offers a variety of stylish rain coats to make romping through puddles a blast. The Top Paw™ Dots Rain Coat, also available in trendy floral and plaid patterns, brings fun and comfort to dogs on rainy days. Matching booties are also available!

Nighttime Adventures: Outdoor playtime doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down – continue the fun safely with light-up collars, harnesses and leashes. Top Paw® Dog-E-Glow™ products all have an LED light tube sewn in to make dogs more visible.
