Subaru Drive - Drive’s Favorite Pet Accessories Picks

Puggle, Hokie, wearing a Klippo dog coat that says, Got Bones? Standing behind Hokie is pug, Nemo, who is wearing a generic coat in green.

“For cold days, our puggle, Hokie, sports a padded dog coat by Klippo. It resembles a cape, and he looks like a cross between Elvis and Dracula in it.

“For toys, his brother, rescue pug Nemo, loves the Petstages Carrot Stuffer treat dispenser ($15). It’s a rubber carrot with three holes to chew treats out of. Load it with food, and he will go after it.”

Jackson, the super mutt, is seated on top of a striped covering in the back seat of a vehicle. He has dark fur and brown eyes.

Embark® Dog DNA Test Kit ($129)

“To find out my dog Jackson’s breed, I used a DNA kit by Embark. According to the report I got back, he is 24% boxer, 23% Lab, 15% beagle, 11% Australian cattle dog, 10% pit bull terrier, 7% golden retriever, 4% German shepherd and 6% ‘super mutt.’

“My favorite part is that Embark notifies me when Jackson matches another dog’s DNA profile. There are a lot of Jackson look-alikes out there.”

Nature’s Miracle^® Hooded Flip Top Litter Box

“I travel a lot with Velcro, my gray rescue cat. I don’t go on any car trips without the Nature’s Miracle hooded litter box.

“It has high walls that prevent spills, even when I remove the snap-on hood. I put the box on the floor in front of the passenger seat with the hood off, or I buckle it into the back seat with the hood on. It fits well either way, and I’ve never had any issues with spills in my vehicle.”

Dan Saacks is wearing a green cap and red T-shirt. He's got Olive, the whoodle, strapped into a K9 Sport Sack Air 2 on his back. Olive has her paws resting on his shoulders and looks relaxed.

K9 Sport Sack ® Air 2 ($75)

“The K9 Sport Sack Air 2 backpack dog carrier is our go-to for our whoodle, Olive. Whether we’re riding the subway or hiking on the beach in Cape Cod, it’s proven to be convenient and cute to carry her on our backs. She’s a little squirmy in the beginning but good once she gets settled.”

Mia at her favorite place, the beach. She's standing on sand and the water's shore can be seen in the distance. She is a medium-sized dog with light-brown fur.

MalsiPree Dog Water Bottle ($19)

“The MalsiPree Dog Water Bottle is our favorite accessory for our dog Mia’s favorite place: the beach! This bottle gives her quick access to fresh water – all we have to do is push a button to fill the attached bowl.

“We also don’t go anywhere without a roll of Doggy Do Good® compostable waste bags ($12/60 bags) attached to her leash. We’re always looking for little ways to be more environmentally friendly.”
