Perfect for day hikes or longer backpacking trips. RC Pet Products' Ultimate Trail Pack is lightweight, yet roomy enough to carry everything your pet needs and more. Features include adjustable, detachable panniers, webbing gear loops, an opening for poo bags and sectioned interior compartments tokeep your dog's load stable.

H2O4K9 Water Bottles
The über mod-looking H2O4K9 is a light-weight, stainless steel water bottle with a twist off cap that doubles as a water bowl. Durable and stylish, the H2O4K9 is made from 100% recyclable materials, holds 25 oz. of water, and comes in 8 cool colors. An ideal gift for dogs on the go.

Paracord Dog Collar
The Paracord Dog Collar by Survival Straps is thick, durable, stylish, and handmade in the U.S.A. And if you're ever in a bind, the collar unravels into a durable military grade paracord. Have your pet's military spec dog tag woven into the collar or simply hang it from from the d-ring.
