Travel
Dog goggles Amazon Link
Dog backpack K9 Sport Sack Plus 2 Forward Facing Dog Carrier Chewy Link
Car crate- Gunner Dog Crate, Medium Gunner Link
Dog sling carrier Amazon Link
Car seat Amazon Link
Notes:
I initially used the car seat, but as she grew up, she became increasingly unlikely to lay down and would spend her time standing, typically bracing her back legs against the back of the seat. I felt relatively comfortable when she was laying down, but when she switched to mainly standing, I decided that it was too unsafe and I chose to switch to a car crate. I have been very happy with the Gunner crate. It's an expensive product but absolutely worth the cost in my opinion.
I used the dog sling carrier during puppy socialization before my pup was fully vaccinated.

Notes:
Winter boots were an in-person purchase at PetCo, when we had a surprise snow storm and Amazon delivery wasn’t available. They fit really well, although the velcro isn’t very hearty- I’ve had to repair them by hand.

Notes: Bovie loves chewing leashes, and we went through several nylon leashes before I wised up and purchased chew-proof varieties, specifically for tethering in the house. For example, when she was a puppy, we trained her to stay on her place during mealtime, and she was tethered as a reminder. When we are outside eating or working, she has a 50 foot tether so she doesn’t take off down the hill or into a neighbors yard. I don’t keep her tethered for extended periods of time and she’s never unattended while tethered.
