The Alcott Explorer Pup Tent – chances are, you’ve seen it in some of your favourite Instagram photos (or maybe on @dogsthathike or @alcottgear ) and you have wondered to yourself “Wow, that’s so cute! But what is its practical application?” We are here to answer those pressing questions for you. After months of use we […]
Editors note: This is an individual product review – if you are looking for information on pet first aid head over First Aid for Fido on the Trail. Robin injures himself pretty frequently on the trail and I always make sure to carry first aid products to patch him up. While he’s generally surefooted and fairly […]
The Original Fleece-Lined Muttluks are just like the Original All-Weather Muttluks (suede sole, nylon upper, thicker nylon toe cap, and stretchy leg cuff), but with the addition of a thin fleece liner. The lining makes them stiffer overall than the All Weathers and also harder to cinch tightly around the ankle. However, I do really like the reflective ankle […]
Active dogs like Ellie and Atlas need healthy paws in all seasons. While dog boots are an awesome concept and work wonderfully for some, sometimes it is easier to use a paw protecting balm instead. Musher’s Secret provides a very safe and reliable alternative to traditional boots for most situations. We’ve been using Musher’s Secret […]
One after another, they carry us on our journeys. They keep us upright and separate us from the hot sand, harsh snow and sharp earth. They take a beating for us and without them; we wouldn’t be able to trek on easily. Our feet are a crucial and often overlooked body part that requires care […]

If you’re anything like us, the list of hikes and camping trips we have planned for this summer seems to be growing by the minute. With all the planned and recent time on the trails we were excited to test out the Ruffwear Singletrak Pack on our adventures and could not be more pleased with […]
When heading out to the dog park on a sunny afternoon you really see dogs of all shapes and sizes. From tiny Chihuahuas all the way to Great Danes, the dog world is filled with breeds with many different features. Dachshunds have short legs and long bodies, Sighthounds sport deep chests and some bully breeds […]
During our long walks it is not uncommon for Emma to lose interest in her ball, usually it’s right after she has dropped the slobber covered ball in dirt. Now it’s my turn to carry the slimy ball in my hand because I’m not putting that back in my pocket! Thankfully the Alcott Essential Treat […]
I think most of us can agree that our dogs have way nicer equipment than we do. Reggie is decked out in all the latest high-tech outdoor equipment and I’m just bumming around in 10-year-old hiking boots, a Gore-Tex jacket with a broken zipper and my backpack held together by safety pins. As the shabby hiker […]
