Nearly 30 million Americans travel regularly with their beloved four-legged friends, especially during summer, according to the Travel Industry Association. But is your pet as comfortable as possible? Here are some products to make it easier to hit the road together.
r Help your furry friend survive the dog days of summer with a Cool Vest. Soak the vest, made of water-absorbing fabric, in cool water. As the water evaporates, it creates a cooling layer that protects your pup from sunlight and heat.
r Save time by nixing water breaks during long drives. The travel water bowl, called the To Go Bowl, fits right into your car's cup holder. The bowl comes complete with a splash-guard and lid, as well as storage space in a removable base for treats or dry dog food.
r Who isn't looking for a better way to pick up after their dog's, ahem, mess? Attach the P.U.T.S. pooper scooper handle to your leash, which allows you to keep one hand free during every walk. Simply open the clamp, wrap it in one of the biodegradable bags stored within, and close the clamp around the mess. Slip the bag off the clamp and you're good to go. — Emily Young
