With the weather warming up, it’s the perfect time to head outdoors and make new memories with your pup. From casual strolls through the neighbourhood to full-blown camping weekends, there are endless ways to explore together. To help you prepare, we’ve rounded up essential gear and adventure ideas that will keep tails wagging all season long.
No matter where your adventures take you, being prepared is key to keeping your dog safe, comfortable, and happy. A small, well-stocked bag can make all the difference. Here are our top recommendations:

⓵ Go on a hike
Check out dog-friendly trails nearby and let your pup explore new terrain, scents, and challenges. Hiking not only exercises their body but also strengthens your bond as you explore side by side.
⓶ Go for a swim
Cool off with a splash at a dog beach, lake, or stream. If you’re up for more adventure, bring a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard. Always check water quality before diving in and pack a swim jacket for extra safety.
⓷ Try a new dog sport
Expand your pup’s horizons with activities like dock-diving, nosework, or agility. Local groups often offer beginner sessions, making it a great way to test what your dog enjoys most while giving them mental and physical stimulation.
⓸ Visit a dog park
Sometimes the best adventures are simple ones. Dog parks give your pup the chance to stretch their legs, socialise with other dogs, and burn off energy in a safe, open environment.
⓹ Go for a drive
If your dog loves the car, make a day of it. Treat them to a pup cup around town, or stop at a dog-friendly café for a bite together. For longer drives, investing in a car seat or back seat cover will make the journey as comfortable as the destination and protect your car from any adventure mess.
⓺ Set up a photoshoot
Turn a simple outing into a lasting memory by organising a photoshoot. This could be at a local park, the beach, or even your backyard. You don’t need a professional camera — even smartphones can capture magic moments. Get creative with candid action shots, or bring friends and their pups along for a playful group adventure.
⓻ Go camping
For the ultimate escape, plan a weekend at a dog-friendly campsite. With plenty of open space and new trails to discover, it’s the perfect way to slow down, recharge, and deepen your bond away from the bustle of home life.
Adventure is always better with your dog by your side. Whether it’s a short stroll, a splash in the water, or a weekend camping trip, the right gear makes every outing safe, simple, and full of joy. So pack your essentials, grab your pup, and head out to make this season unforgettable.
