1. A jar of paw protectant that's made from natural waxes, so you can protect your adventure buddy's paws from hot concrete. This balm is also 100% more likely to stay on their feet than dog booties.
2. A package of calming treats so your puppy doesn't get so worked up on the airplane. Treat them to a delicious lil' bite anytime you'd like to kick back and relax — they will too.
3. A travel water bottle because dogs get dehydrated too — they just can't *tell* you. Keep them feeling their best without the hassle of a flimsy silicone bowl.
4. A spray-on sunscreen — yes, dogs need sunscreen and no, you can't just use the human kind. If you should be wearing it on sunny days (which you should), they need to as well.
And while it can be used on all dogs, dogs with white or thin coats or light-pigmented noses and eyelids are more at risk for sunburn. Read more about why dogs need sunscreen at American Kennel Club.
Promising review: "This stuff works. I've tried several other dog-safe 'sunscreens,' but none were effective. My dog has a scar on his snout from before he was rescued off the streets as a puppy, and because he has no fur covering that section, it easily turns pink and blisters and bleeds when he's in the sun. Plus, my vet was concerned that he could develop skin cancer with all the constant sun exposure. But all of the pet-safe sunscreens I could find didn't have any ingredients that would actually block UV rays, and all the ones with effective sun-blocking ingredients weren't pet-safe, so it seemed like a catch-22.
"It took me a long time to find one that both worked effectively and was safe. This is it! It doesn't irritate his skin at all. We can go to the beach for a couple of hours, and his skin looks just as good as it did at the beginning of the day, whereas in the past it would have burnt. So glad to have found this product." —sknappy1

5. A tasty wellness supplement to help keep your best friend nice 'n' healthy for your big adventures. Your dog will get a much-deserved treat, and you can rest easy knowing you're doing something every day to keep your fur kid at their best.
6. An airline-approved dog carrier for when it's time to travel the friendly skies. It has plenty of breathing room for a small pup, and the shoulder strap disconnects and doubles as a leash.
Roverlund is a small business creating design-forward gear for pets and their owners. The small size fits dogs up to 12.5 lbs and the large size fits pets up to 20 lbs.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this dog carrier. Extremely high quality and though it was a tad on the expensive side, it looks and feels even more expensive that it really is. I would definitely purchase this again, and it fits my miniature Schnauzer perfectly!" —Quietstorm80
Get it from Amazon for $159+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
7. A stylish treat pouch so you always have everyone's most important stuff at the ready. It has space for pup supplies *and* human necessities; wear it as a crossbody or a fanny pack and be the most well-stocked one at the park.
8. A waterproof blanket because you shouldn't have to sacrifice clean furniture for cuddles. Add this throw on top of the VRBO couch and voila — it's a dog couch.
9. A practically indestructible Kong chew toy that your power chewer won't destroy in five minutes. You'll be able to leave your hotel room to grab a quick bite without your bored pup ripping up your bedsheets.
10. A car seat cover to keep your back seats protected when your wet and dirty dog jumps in after a beach day. Take more day trips with your best friend this summer with this machine-washable cover.
Promising review: "Just bought a new car and needed something quick to take my dog to the vet. This fits perfectly and is durable enough for two large dogs." —Melissa LaCroix
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
11. A 100-piece pet first aid kit to help put your mind at ease knowing that you can handle the unexpected. Keep your canine at their best even when their vet is 1,000 miles away.
This 100-piece kit comes with helpful essentials, including an emergency dog thermometer, a collar, a tick kit, and more!
Promising review: "It has everything I need for my dogs in the event of emergencies, and it's the perfect size for travel or hiking. Highly recommend it." —Jack & Molly
Get it from Amazon for $34.49+ (available in two colors).
12. A pack of hygienic waste bags that are thick, puncture-resistant, and fit your hand, to prevent unwanted contact with your pet's "organic materials," ahem. You *cannot* trust just any old plastic bag.
13. A swivel seatbelt tether for keeping your excited dog under control while you're driving. You won't be distracted by their cuteness and they'll be safer for it.
Promising review: "The Kurgo has strong components and is easy to use. It snaps into the car’s seat belt receiver. The other end has a sturdy carabiner-type latch that I find easier to use and more secure than other clips. It’s also adjustable, so you can limit how far your dog can move." —AR_RattyDad
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four styles, three colors, and two package sizes).
14. A space-efficient pet food travel system that holds up to 6 cups of kibble. Even better, the top and bottom serve as bowls, so you can enjoy an on-the-go meal with your dog.
Promising review: "I really like this travel food and water container. The bowls nest nicely on both ends, and the handle is easy to take off/put on. So easy to take along in the car, easy to carry, and holds enough food for a weekend trip for my furry kid. I love how convenient and portable this is, and it's compact enough that it doesn't take up much space at all. It's also well-made. Very happy with this purchase." —Dessum Huddles Parker
Get it from Amazon for $8.61 (available in two package sizes)
15. A nonslip portable sleeping mat — well, where else are they supposed to sit? Give 'em some of the comforts of home with this foam bed.
Promising review: "We travel for a living and take our dog with us. Soooooo many times, his water bowl tips over, or the water sloshes over the side onto usually my bedding. I am 100% pleased with my purchase. This is a game changer when traveling with animals. My only wish is that it becomes available in smaller sizes." —BSlaugh84078
Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in two sizes).
16. A pop-up kennel so you can leave your dog alone in an AirBnB without them trashing it. And hey, sometimes your dog just needs to be alone in their own space — nothin' wrong with that.
17. A flea and tick collar that'll let your dog join you anywhere and everywhere. This collar releases small doses of medication onto their coat for up to eight months, keeping them itch- and bite-free.
