This little pup is literally lovable – how many of you have ever seen with a heart-shaped spot?! Crazytown. Make sure you share the love right back, and don’t forget to include these 5 must-have items for your couture canine carrier.
1. Doggie Bags. Okay, so maybe 4 complete rolls is a tad much (if not, you might wanna make your next trip one to see the vet!), but at least 4-5 bags, just to be safe. Just think of it like this: your doggie bag is essentially like a diaper bag – better to have and not need than to not have and need. (stock up on petco.com)
2. Doggie Tooth Brush. Nothing is worse than a dog’s bad breath! So while you are out and about with your little furry friend, be sure you have the necessary tools to keep those pearly whites nice and clean. (shop for the EZDOG Tri-pet Finger Brush online)
3. De-Shedding Brush. A dog’s coat can be so beautiful and fun to pet – not so fun removing from car seats or your new wool top coat. Be prepared, and carry some sort of de-shedding brush or tool, like this FURminator, available in a wide range of sizes for dogs of all sizes, weights, and hair lengths.

4. Yummy Yummy Doggie Treats. Dogs are like humans, in that they can be tricked into submission with the help of delicious treats. I’d recommend bringing a combo of something substantial and a lightweight treat – just depending on how long you plan to be out for. Stella & Chewy’s Duck Duck Goose Dinner is great for a longer trip, while the Carnivore Crunch Beef Recipe or Carnivore Kisses are great for shorter trips, as rewards for good behavior.

5. Cute Dog Toys. Again, dogs can very easily be compared to small children, in that they have short attention spans. Keep you and your dog happy and never forget to bring a toy – be it a frisbee, a tennis ball, or a holiday-themed chewable play thing, like Willie the Thanksgiving Turkey.
