Our pets have become one of the family. That means that, whenever possible, they come on vacation with us. Because yes, traveling with your dog and not dying trying is possible. The truth is that when summer comes, it’s amazing to see how they enjoy the water, the sand and the change of scenery. If you already have the dog beach you want to go to, the hotel pet-friendly and all the accessories you need for the trip, you only need one more thing: the backpack to spend a splendid day together by the sea.
It’s beach day and you already have the bag with the sarong, the lunch box with the tortilla, the sun protection, the visor and, in short, everything you know you need to spend a day of sun and sea. It’s time then to prepare the dog’s backpack. However, if this is your first time, you may be wondering what are you supposed to take besides the usual stuff on the rides.
The first thing that common sense will remind you of is that you should put your water and drinker. In this context, drinking will not only help you stay hydrated but also prevent you from drinking seawater, which can cause gastrointestinal problems.

You can’t miss your prize bag to reinforce his good behavior and, if we’re going to be out all day, his food ration. However, when we talk about putting your food and drink utensils in your backpack, we are not referring to the ones you use at home regularly, but to laptops that we can fold and take up less space.

It is recommended a sunscreen to protect them from UVA and UVB radiation from the sun. The product is applied to areas with sparse fur such as the abdomen, ears, snout, eyelids, lips or the upper rear area of breeds with light or hairless coats. Also, it’s not worth throwing it out before you leave the house because you have to renew the application after two hours of sun exposure to ensure maximum protection.

On the other hand, if your dog has delicate paws, a protector for pads. In the intense sun, the sand gets too hot and the dog can get painful burns on the pads and in the spaces between the toes.

Also, for this reason, unless you are completely sure that there will be shaded areas, in your beach equipment you cannot miss a parasol. You can take your usual beach bed or, if you want to be even more pro, an outdoor dog bed with a canopy.

By now you have probably included the bags to collect your necessities and that other dogs can enjoy the beach but, as sometimes one gets confused, we include it as a friendly reminder. Finally, on outings outside the usual routine like this, it is highly recommended to always carry the animal’s papers with you, as they could fine us if the authorities asked for them and we did not have them on hand. You can put them inside a waterproof cover if you want to prevent them from getting wet or stained.
