THE GREAT OUTDOORS

No longer is the summer the only time of year when pets are spending time in the great outdoors. Pet travel is a year round affair, with companion pets joining their owners on the road for a variety of adventures. It’s become a bonding opportunity between pet and parent—and there’s nothing that compares to that feeling of being at a scenic location with your best friend.

This creates the need for a wide range of accessories for the entertainment or health-related needs that are expected when a pet is outside of its home. Poop bags are an everyday essential, but there are useful products when a pet is in transit, at a travel destination or even just roaming in its own yard.

What are consumers seeking in their outdoor accessories? Durability tops the list of what determines a quality product that fits into the category of outdoor accessories. It has to be able to endure the rugged terrain or wear and tear that a pet puts the product through for hours or even days on end.

It all adds up to the pet industry providing consumers with access to carriers, heating or cooling vests, paw protectors, GPS collars, tie out systems and even playground equipment.
