## 💧 Water & Food
- ☐ **Water bottle** — your dog needs to drink more often than you think. A bottle with a built-in bowl makes breaks easy and saves you from searching for water sources.
> **Tip:** PupRoam's water bottle (249 kr) has a practical bowl that's easy to use with one hand — perfect for quick stops on the trail.
- ☐ **Dry food or treats** — good to have for replenishing energy or as a reward during the hike.
- ☐ **Collapsible food bowls** — take up no space in your pack and make it easy to serve both water and food.
- ☐ **Extra treat bag** — unexpected encounters or tough stretches might require a little extra motivation.

## 🦺 Safety
- ☐ **Collar with ID tag** — your contact information is the fastest way to get your dog home if you get separated.
- ☐ **Reflective vest or reflective leash** — essential at dusk, in fog, or if you are near roads.
- ☐ **First aid kit for dogs** — bandages, wound cleaner, tweezers, and a small amount of activated charcoal can save the day in case of minor accidents.
- ☐ **GPS tracker** — if your dog catches a scent and runs off, you'll immediately see where it's going.
- ☐ **Leash (short + long line)** — short leash on trails and roads, long line when you have plenty of space and your dog can sniff around more.

## 🛌 Comfort
- ☐ **Plopp (sit/lie pad)** — a warm and dry place to rest makes all the difference for your dog during longer breaks.
> **Tip:** PupRoam's Pet Nest (299–369 kr) is lightweight, padded, and can be used as both a seat cushion and car protector.
- ☐ **Dog blanket or winter plush mat** — even dogs with thick coats can get cold if they lie still in wind or cold weather.
> **Tip:** PupRoam's winter plush mat (199–499 kr) is thin and packable but provides surprisingly good insulation.
- ☐ **Extra towel** — for paws, wet fur, or an unplanned mud puddle.
- ☐ **Raincoat** — many dogs enjoy all weather, but a raincoat keeps them dry and happy when it's pouring.
---
## 🎒 Accessories & Practical
- ☐ **Poop bags** — the obvious one. Pack more than you think you'll need and always have a roll easily accessible.
- ☐ **Your dog's commands on your phone** — save a list of your most common commands/signals in case someone else needs to look after your dog during the trip.
- ☐ **Toy or ball** — a quick retrieve session in the middle of the forest is both play and mental stimulation.
- ☐ **Camera/phone** — you'll want to capture the moment. Just make sure you have battery life left for emergency calls.
- ☐ **Water bottle for yourself** — don't forget your own hydration if the trip turns out to be longer than planned.
- ☐ **Mosquito repellent (dog-friendly)** — mosquitoes and gnats can ruin an otherwise wonderful evening walk for both you and your best friend.
