A trail kit built around a hiking dog’s needs: water and food, paw protection, control and identification, and a pet-specific first aid setup for the injuries dogs pick up on the trail.
Scenario: A summer ridge hike with the dog. The rock is hot, the water sources are spaced out, and a mile in your dog tears a pad and starts limping. You need to water them, boot the paw, and get them comfortable enough to finish or turn back.

Scenario: A wildfire evacuation order comes with an hour’s notice. The human go-bags are ready; the dog and cat need to be too — carrier, leash, a few days of their food, water, and the vaccination paperwork the emergency shelter will ask for at the door.
