1. A covered, elevated outdoor bed, so you and your best pup can while away the afternoon in the backyard without worrying about them overheating in the sun or on the ground.
2. A compact, zip-up pet first aid kit that easily fits in your car, suitcase, or hiking backpack. No one wants their spring fun to include any boo-boos, but it pays to be prepared, and this kit will help with most problems you'll run into exploring the woods or beach.
3. An escape-proof cat leash and harness, so you and your indoor kitty can safely explore your backyard, neighborhood — or even the park, if those spring ~vibes~ have you feeling bold.
4. A foldable pool that you'll probably enjoy as much as your pup.
5. A foldable small animal outdoor playpen, so your bunnies, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, reptiles, or other lil' friends can safely enjoy the sunshine with you. It can also double as an indoor travel playpen, for when you and your tiny buddy need space to play while you're on the road.
6. A foldable splash pad for dogs who can't get enough of sprinkler time. The pad is made of thicker PVC than splash pads made for humans, so it can stand up to your pup's paws.
7. A fully enclosed mesh outdoor cat tent, so your indoor cat can relax with you al fresco, without any fear that they'll wander off or get spooked and bolt.
8. An indoor/outdoor drinking fountain that hooks up directly to your garden hose and auto-refills when it's empty, so your pals can romp in the yard to their hearts' content and never get thirsty.
9. A portable playpen with a zip-up dog door, so your pup can chill safely and comfortably alongside you at the beach, while camping, or at any other spot.
10. A Chuckit! floating fetch toy that works on land and in the water, so basically, wherever you go, you never have to stop playing fetch (yes, your dog designed this toy). The toy's bright colors make it easy to find in the water, and the rope gives you extra leverage for swinging.
11. A saddle backpack with both zippered and open compartments, so your medium and large dogs can carry their own water, bowl, treats, and waste bags on your next voyage through the great outdoors.
12. A frozen treat toy, because if you're cooling down with an ice pop, it's only fair that your pupster have one, too. Just fill it up with their favorite treat — from peanut butter to broth to wet dog food — and let it freeze, then let your hot dog loose on it.
13. A cooler vest, so you can help your canine companion literally chill. Just soak it in cool water, wring it out, and put it on your dog to lower their temperature during walks, play, or just outdoor hang-time on sweltering days.
14. Or a cooling bandana with Velcro closures, for furry friends who don't really do the whole "clothes" thing. Soak the bandana, wring it out, refrigerate for 10 minutes, and make your dog the coolest in the neighborhood.
15. A spray-on sunscreen that's equivalent to SPF 30, for your pup's nose, ears, paws, belly, legs, and other exposed areas. Dogs can get sunburned on long days outdoors, just like people can, so a sunscreen like this is essential to prevent burns, irritations, and even longer-term skin conditions like melanoma.
16. A hands-free leash with shock-absorbing bungee and a zip-up fanny pack-style pouch, so you and your pup can enjoy springtime jogs, hikes, or even just outdoor errands without trying to juggle a leash handle.
17. A pressure-activated cooling mat that you don't have to freeze — it becomes cool every time your pet lies down on it.
18. A dog rain poncho with reflective stripes, for folks who live in parts of the country where "spring" actually means "two solid months of wet dog."
19. A mesh indoor/outdoor hammock cat bed that will help your fave feline beat the heat by allowing air to better circulate around them.
20. A set of cordless electric clippers with six guard combs, because your pup needs to get rid of their winter wardrobe (aka shaggy, heavy fur).*
21. An indoor/outdoor shower wand with push-button control that you can attach directly to your garden hose, so even if you can't make backyard bath time painless, you can at least make it a little easier.
22. A roll of scented pet waste bags, because it's not like you ever want to smell a bag of dog poop as you carry it home on a walk, but in the warm weather, you need something to cover up the stank. And yes, they're also...kinda cute!
23. A soccer ball with tabs that make it easier for pups to pick it up or play with it in new ways. Plus, it floats in water.
24. A bike-mounted leash attachment, so you and your medium-to-large dog can enjoy long springtime rides (without worrying about how you're going to hold a leash and handlebars at the same time).
25. A wooden, screened-in, two-floor cat patio with a ramp and multiple levels, for indoor cats who are ready to have a little outdoor vacation this spring.
26. An Outward Hound life vest with a rescue handle and foam chin panel that will help your pup keep their head above water.
27. A portable water bottle with a built-in drinking cup, because staying hydrated is always important for your furry companion, but it's especially important as temperatures rise.
28. A silicone-bristled paw washer, so you can simply enjoy watching your pup have fun in the dirt or sand, instead of worrying about how they're going to absolutely ruin your house afterwards.
29. An Outward Hound floating floppy toy that takes all the fun of your dog's favorite plushy and brings it poolside. It won't become water-logged or sink to the bottom, and its squeaker works no matter how wet it gets.
