What's in your dog bag/closet/car?
Been doing my shopping piecemeal but want to get organized and have everything handy in the car. Was curious what everyone keeps on them. I always have a leash, collar, a couple toys and treats in the car but that's about it.

When I travel to train with my dog, I carry the training tote with everything I need for training, lots of lines, collars, toys, treats, paper towel, baggies for garbage, and hand sanitizer.
I carry a small stainless water bucket and a jug of water. I think a muzzle would be handy, just in case you ever need it for an emergency. Two of my dogs can be aggressive with strangers, they'd need muzzling if they had to be handled in case of accident. Paperwork copies of license, chip number, vet info would be something to have in the vehicle... I always think what would happen if I'm in an accident, dog escapes/ not sure that would even help. There was a rollover accident on the freeway near me and a small dog escaped one of the vehicles(his people were killed) The LEO's never knew about the dog, until the relatives searched for him, CL ads never did help return him to the relatives. I guess if I had my dog with me, I'd want the responders to know just in case the dog ran off. |

Our obedience club gives out nice training bags that include a spray hand sanitizer, a dog shaped poop bag dispenser and a mini-flashlight that I keep in it. I also keep a nylon slip lead to keep Stosh or any other dog secure while changing training collars or when you just need a lead in a hurry. I keep a card with my name and info, vet's info and the place I board him and an emergency contact of someone who could take him if I was in an accident or something. And treats of course and a little zip lock bag of dry food- I'm not sure why, I guess I just don't like the idea of him needed a meal and not having it.

So to steer that comment back on track- one thing I *always* have in the car if my dog is with me is her seatbelt harness. And it is always on her, and she's always buckled in (unless the car is parked).

I have an insane amount of "stuff" in the truck.
I keep three tupperware bins. The largest has two first aid kits - one for people, one for dogs. A double roll of paper towel, a jumbo size of those clean-up wipes and dishsoap...oh and an extra stainless bowl. A couple of microfiber towels, my extra shammy, a bag of extra collars/leashes, extra clicker...One smaller one has our flyball stuff - harness, hock boots, gloves, treats, tugs, ball...The other smaller one has our "outside" stuff - winter gloves, tug, jolly ball, extra ChuckIt balls, two frisbees, a couple of tennis balls...treats...Just sitting in the seat hammock is a flirt pole, my ChuckIt stick, stainless bowl, two jugs of water and two fleece blankets for the crates if it gets hella cold. THEN I have a tote for SchH. Tug, treats, dowel, dumbbell, gloves, drag lead, long drag lead, squeaky ball reward for tracking, flag for tracking, clicker, fursaver, prong...jeez, maybe that's it in that bag. I keep my hiking boots, hiking socks and an emergency car kit underneath the hammock. My training chair is behind the other seat...The boys ride in crates...which each have bowls in them and I always put the leads I'm using connected to their crates and right beside...poop bags are in various nooks and crannies for whatever reason...in my console I have a leather credit card keeper with their AKC cards, their UKC cards, their Microchip cards... I haul a lot of ****... |

In the car:
-Dog seatbelt harness -Luggage tag with pet info attached to the seatbelt strap -"In case of emergency" folder containing a form with my info, dog's info (age, temperament, medical conditions, tattoo and microchip #s, etc), a vet care release and emergency contacts; several photos of my dog(s); and vet records. -Spare leashes/slip leads (mostly in case I find a stray) -Jug of water -No-spill bowl If we are going anywhere besides just around town, I also have my dog first aid kit in the car with us. My x-pen was also in there since last summer but I recently took it out. I also have paper towels, dog blankets and towels in the car, and usually a few dog toys. In Bianca's backpack, which I take with on some walks and all hikes, I have: -A mini first aid kit -Water (in Platypus soft bottles) -Bowl -Spare collar and leash -Matches -Knife -Baggies -Compass -Mini flashlight -I.D. card with emergency contact info -A whistle -Treats -Clicker (sometimes) -My cell phone (sometimes) -Safety flashing light (sometimes) If I'm going out for a short trip or walk I don't bring a bag unless I put Bianca's pack on, so usually everything just goes in my pockets. I generally take baggies, treats, clicker, Bianca's Halti, pocket knife, Mace Triple Action, and of course my keys and cell phone. |
