Dogs
by Carrie Boyko, CEB
Oliver must know there's something exciting coming up. He's been spending a lot of time practicing and posing for travel photos. And the decisions--oh my! Today we had to go through his wardrobe and pick three Tshirts for Blogpaws to pack in his new Solvit HomeAway Travel Organizer. We decided on his All Things Dog Blog logo shirt, a Dogs for the PAWS Tshirt, and another that we'll keep secret for a fun surprise.
His travel bag is much cooler than mine. It carries his food (Organix travels with us everywhere we go!), his water, two bowls, his poop bags (we like Flush Puppies because they're so eco-friendly), and even bandanas, Tshirts, and important "don't-leave-home-without-its" like dental bones and a ball. More below....
We recently got a nametag that is perfect for travel bag identification. It came from our friend Rosalyn at Sugar the Golden Retriever. I couldn't wait to put that on his bag since it has my name on it. I attached it to one of the zippers on Oliver's travel bag. This should defintely make sure no one mistakes it for their own, don't you think?!! Thanks to Rosalyn and Sugar for this nice gift.
You would think that Oliver is just about ready to go, with all the loot in the photo up there, but there is still more to consider. Be sure to check back for more on Oliver's travel preparations.
Did you notice the cool collapsible bowls with Oliver's travel kit? And the food bag that that holds 10 cups of food seals up really tight to make sure his chow stays fresh. We'll be able to travel with a one-liter BPA-free, polycarbonate water bottle to make sure there's always some wet stuff for Oliver on the trip.There's even room inside the bag to take along our new microfiber towel in case Oliver needs a touch up in the tub or gets rained on. He vetoed the idea of an umbrella. No girly stuff for Oliver!
It's a very nice kit with all sorts of cool pockets for all those little things that every puppy needs; don't forget the leash, collar, tags and harness. There's plenty of room for it all in this great bag. If you would like more detail, check here.
Are you thinking about taking a trip with your fido? The nice folks at Solvit Products would like to help make your preparations easier. You can visit their site's retail locator for assistance in finding a store near you that carries their travel, mobility and access products. You can also order your own organizer online through Amazon.
Another option is to take your chances at winning one. In conjunction with Solvit Products, All Things Dog Blog is giving away two kits of everything you see in the picture just above this sentence. (Sorry, Oliver and his clothes don't go; we're sort of attached!) This kit is incredibly spacious with 6 pockets, in addition to the interior compartments, made specially so the water and food containers remain standing up. It's a terrific design, clearly created with much forethought. They even placed a dispensing hole in one of the front pockets for your doodie bags! Are you ready to enter?
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment about your pup's travel plans. If you'd like to get extra entries to improve your chances, here's more possibilities:
Full disclosure: Solvit Products sent me a HomeAway Travel organizer to review. We have packed it to take to Washington, D.C. for Blogpaws, and have determined it completely meets Oliver's needs for the 1-week trip during which we will be away. Solvit Products did not pay us to offer this opinion and these thoughts are our own.
