Olly Dog Travel Bowls

($16-$20)
www.OllyDog.com
(800) OLLY-DOG
These groovy collapsible bowls are perfect for traveling with
your pet. Even though it folds up neatly for easy storage, the sides are stiff, which means it stays open and upright when your thirsty pal needs it. Choose from the Three Dog Bowl, which holds more than three liters, or the smaller Olly Lapper (one-and-a-half liters), perfect for a quick trip to the park.

Armed with an adorable vinyl bone bag filled with lavender-scented shampoo, conditioner, travel candle, and “between baths” spritz, Fluffy can make life on the road more like life at the spa. And, even better, the all-natural products help repel bugs and fleas.

Car Seat & Harness

($25-$70)
www.PetsBestProducts.com

For a secure ride, just hook the heavy-duty strap to your pet’s harness and fasten it into your car’s seat belt. The seat also includes a removable travel bowl for food and water.

Dog Powered Scooter

($540 for single)
www.DogPoweredScooter.com (541) 383-3845
If you’ve ever found yourself behind the leash desperately trying to hold on while your dog drag races down the sidewalk, then this may be just the thing for you. Now you can harness all of Fido’s (most abundant) energy into a hobby that is fun for both of you: dog-powered scootering. Creator Mark Schuette says the scooter is easy to ride and handle because the design allows the rider to have directional and speed control, utilizing both a steering wheel and brakes. Additionally, the harness connection is designed so that no weight is placed on the dog. Make sure to check with your vet to see if this is a good form of exercise for your pet.
