Dog Bike Carriers and Baskets Take your pup for a bike ride with these convenient and fun bike baskets from PetZip, Kurgo and Snoozer.  

After a long winter, it is finally time for warmer weather and getting outdoors with your Furry Traveler!  Here is our list of this year's top 10 pet supply items for spring:   1) Dog Safety Harnesses  Whether used to keep hyper dogs from interfering with the driver, risking the safety of the vehicle's passengers, or to secure a dog for its own protection, dog harnesses are perfect for transporting pets on the road. We offer several harnesses with differing sizes, fit, and durability, so you can select the right harness for your furry friend.     2) Snoozer Sporty Bike Basket  The Snoozer Sporty is a doggy bike carrier with durable microfiber, removable inner padding, and a comfortable chin rest for a pooch to enjoy a relaxing bike ride as much as its owner. With two side pockets for water bottles and a removable rain cover, this item is perfect for a spring cruise in the park, be it rain or shine.     3) Kurgo Winga™  The Kurgo Winga is an ingenious outdoor toy that allows owners to engage with their pet during playtime. With a durable rubber disc that can be launched up to 200 feet in the air, this is the perfect item for energetic pups to play with alongside their owners at the park on a sunny afternoon.     4) Car Seat Covers  With more time for muddy adventures and trips to the closest lake, river, or beach, a seat cover or cargo cover is a must!  These items are invaluable for springtime activities by providing car seats with protection from muddy paws, dog hair, and unfavorable odors.     5) Raincoat for spring showers  Doggy raincoats are a must-have item to prepare one's pooch for heavy spring showers. Some dogs may love splashing in puddles, but this rain gear will keep pets from getting completely soaked on walks throughout the spring. Plus, this accessory is just too adorable not to own and provides any owner with a great prop for a priceless doggy photo shoot.     6) Dog Water Bottle  The Handi-Drink is a compact, portable water bottle for pets on-the-go that has a patented rubber flow-control valve in the cap to prevent leaks, spills, and backwash contamination. It is available in three different sizes and includes a dispenser tray, belt clip and carrying strap for convenient transportation.   7) Doggy Backpack  The Day Tripper Backpack is a travel pack for pets to wear that features two zippered pouches that can be used to store dog supplies and toys in. Structured to adjust for balance load and padded for extra comfort, this rugged travel pack is perfect for hikes, camping, and other fun outdoor activities.     8) Dog strollers Furry Travelers knows that pet owners on-the-go are often left missing out for their pets or troubled by having to leave their dogs home alone for public events, festivals, and gatherings. We have dog strollers to fit every type of dog and activity so owners can now bring their furry friends along without the worry.  This picture is from a trade show we brought Cookie and Katie to.  It came in very handy!     9) Dog Carrier-Backpack  The SHERPA Back Pack is the perfect hybrid of a backpack and a dog carrier, used to transport pets from place-to-place, be it around town or the globe. It can be used as a handbag or shoulder bag, and fits comfortably under airline cabin seats.   10) Hands-Free Leash  Finally, a solution for active pet owners who enjoy taking their dog along for a run or brisk walk but hate having their hands in a bind. The Patento Pet Hands Free Leash wraps securely around the wrist, allowing owners to free up both hands so that they can jog with a more natural posture.   TO GO BOWL  Of course, we must also mention our own To Go Bowl!  Remember to take it along while out and about with your pooch and you won't need to share your drink or make a special stop at the drive through for water.   Have a Happy Spring!    

This is the first of many products that I will be reviewing for Furry Travelers.  The reviews will be posted weekly, so please check back with us.  If there is a specific product you would like us to review, please let us know!   I chose the Wander Carrier because it is one of the travel products I use most, and absolutely love.  I travel quite a bit with my little Bichon Frise, Cookie (below), and we have found this carrier to be very sturdy, versatile, convenient and comfortable.      Sturdy:  The Wander Carrier is made of luggage grade fabric with a solid top, waterproof bottom, and the sides are reinforced with a steel rods.  You definitely feel your pooch is protected in this carrier.    Versatile:  Of course I have used the Wander Carrier to carry Cookie from place to place, but I have also used it as a crate for short periods when I had to leave her alone in a new location such as a hotel room.  Having this familiar carrier helps Cookie feel at home wherever we may be.  Finally, and maybe the best safety feature, is that you can strap the Wander Carrier into your car by putting the seat belt through the handle and around the carrier.  What a great design!   Convenient:  While there are many carriers around, this is the only one that I know of that is both sturdy and also folds down to approximately 2 1/2 - 3 inches for easy storage.  There is an interior tether to attach to your dog's harness and even a side pocket to keep a dog leash, car keys, cell phone...   Comfortable:  What good is a carrier if your Furry Traveler isn't going to be comfortable?  The Wander Carrier comes with a washable soft fabric pad and the adjustable carrying strap is padded, too.   I have used my carrier for over a year and it still looks good enough for me to use as a display item when I have a booth at a Pet Expo or Dog Show.    The Wander Carrier holds dogs up to 18 pounds and is 17" long by 11" high.  See more details or order yours by clicking here.

I never thought of myself as one that would use a dog stroller, but I have become a big fan.  I use a dog stroller for two different reasons.    One, I have a 15 year old Bichon Frise (Sammy) with major back problems resulting in her inability to walk for any distance.  Putting her in the stroller while I walk our other dog, Cookie, gives her the opportunity to be a part of the family, get some fresh air and sunshine.  Once I started doing this on a regular basis, she seemed to become a happier little dog.    I also use a dog stroller for Cookie when I work at dog events.  Cookie is my "assistant" at these shows and I have found the stroller to come in handy both when setting up and breaking down our booth because I can roll her around in it and not worry about her leash getting tangled as we set up, as well as throughout the day to give her a break from the activity.   And I'm sure everyone has seen dog strollers while shopping.  While I haven't done this (yet), it is a great way to take your little one with you when you go to the mall.   We have two models that have been popular at Furry Travelers:  The PetZip 3 in 1 Stroller, and the Pet Stroller XL.  The images below are of the 3 in 1 Stroller (including Cookie at a trade show in Atlanta).   This 3-Way Stoller covers all your needs.  Along with it being a dog stroller, it conveniently converts into a car seat as well as a carrier.  Holds up to 30 pounds.  Available in Red or Navy Blue.   The Pet Stroller XL is another great stroller and one I have used for almost 2 years now.  This stroller has really worked hard for me and has held up just great!  It also holds up to 30 pounds and it is long enough and tall enough to hold more than one dog, or taller dogs.  It easily collapses to fit into your trunk.  The colors are great, too.  Tangerine and Lime.   So which stroller is for you?  If you don't need the car seat, my vote is for the Pet Stroller XL.  If you like the 3 in 1 concept, you can't go wrong there, either.   For more information on all our strollers, click here.

This time of the year is perfect for sunset strolls through the park or neighborhood. However, sometimes our furry friends are not up for the task. If your pups are too tiered or too small to keep up with you, just take out your PetZip I-Cute Buggy dog stroller and bring them along. The I-Cute Buggy dog stroller is light-weight with a cute dot pattern. The stroller features a double 360 degrees turning front wheel which makes it a great option for quicker pace jogs.  Plus, its easy to fold and stores flat once your home!     http://www.furrytravelers.com/m7/60011--i-cute-pet-buggy.html
