Summer-ready your pet for epic outdoor adventures

Surfing dog with swag on

Summer has landed and it’s time to throw the bikes on the car, slather on the sunscreen and, most importantly, get outside for some rockin’ adventures with your furry bestie. Camping with your cat? Check. SUPing with your pup sitting on the nose of the board? You betcha. Grab these outdoorsy pet essentials from Walmart and get ready to wag more and be inside less.

Carry on with Fido

Want to bring your small pup or kitty everywhere with you this summer? This secure and preppy-looking pet carrier is both airline- and pet-approved. The poop-bag pockets and cushioned bottom are nice perks and the large zip-front makes it easy to lure them inside with treats.

Keep on strollin’

Yes, your pet is officially a fur baby. This foldable pet stroller has a mesh pet bag so your F.O. (furry other) can check out all the other pets on the block and the bag ingeniously detaches so you can also use it as a carrier and as a car seat. Slip your iced coffee into the cup holder and let the good times roll.

Meow if you like sushi

If you enjoy a good spicy tuna roll and taking your cat to the park, this is the harness for you. It’s easy to put on, adjustable for comfort — and did we mention it has cute images of kitties and sushi rolls all over it? Now if you can only get Fluffy to hoof it all the way to your favorite sushi place.

Keep your pet cool on a cot

This hammock is raised off the ground so your pet gets airflow from all sides, which is ideal for hot dogs and cats in summer. The flexible fabric has a cushy give to it, so it’s easier on their joints, and you can simply hose it off when it gets sandy or muddy. The rust-resistant steel frame is porch- and campsite-friendly.

Run your dog ragged on road trips

A good dog is a tired dog, right? This gadget collapses into the size of an ice cream scoop so you can pack it with you and exercise your pup on the go. You’ll be seriously impressed at how far this thing will fling the ball — up to 150 feet — and the balls are brightly colored so you won’t lose them at the rest area.

No more scratchy-scratchy

Before you take your dog on any outdoor adventure this summer, outfit them with this vet-recommended flea and tick collar. It’s odorless and non-greasy, which is nice for you, and it will keep your bestie free of itchy disease-ridden pests while they hike, swim, and fetch their little heart out.
