How much "stuff" do you pack for your furbutts? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Rhetts_mama · 08-03-2013, 04:41 PM

School starts back next week and we needed to do some clothes shopping for the skin kids. Cali is too young to leave home alone, so we took her with us.

DH thought the amount of stuff I packed to accompany is was a little over the top. I thought it was just the bare necessities. It took up an entire purse just to bring the following:

Her carrier
Leash
Harness
Bowl
Bottled water
Nutrical
Bag of food
Several pee pads
Wipes
Chew toy

So what does everyone else pack when they are out and about. And how do you carry it all?

Cali did awesome, BTW. She loved all the attention and had perfect manners in the stores.

I haven't taken Jasper out anywhere yet. But, I believe I would take what you did along with some baby wipes and a change of clothes in case he needed it. I've been thinking about finding a cute diaper bag for his things. Do you think that is over the top? I don't think a tote would be big enough.

And I might add a light baby blanket just in case its cold wherever we are.

A day trip ,,,, collapsable water bowl,water bottle,tiny pup blanket,poop bags,leash,harness,snacks all in a yorkie purse that a friend gave me. We also take the stroller and carseat. Just like little kids.

MomtoJasper · 08-03-2013, 06:37 PM

Totally forgot about poop bags!! A yorkie purse? Sounds like an excuse to buy something new for Jasper.

I told my husband I wanted a stroller. He wasn't amused.

My husband made fun of me when I got a stroller. He hates clothes too. BUT...when he noticed how much attention he gets pushing the stroller with two cute little yorkies in it, he just about wrestles me for the stroller. He even pushes the stroller when I'm not with him. Everyone at the park knows us as those people with the stroller. Cute yorkies in a stroller = chick magnet. Maybe if you tell him that.....

MandiesMom · 08-03-2013, 07:23 PM

Today was my first outing with Mandie. I packed the following:

Food
Bottle of water
Bowl
Wipes
Brush and comb
Grooming spray
Harness
Leash
Camera

Leash
Extra scruncii
And of course 2 toys

I also brought a dress to put on her but never made it to her body lol

I went to a dog show in June and took two of my dogs. I had all of the dog stuff in one small cloth grocery bag. 3 days worth of food, treats, bowls, extra collars and leashes, poo bags, health info, and I think that's it. I had their two crates in the back of the truck.

Verbena · 08-03-2013, 07:56 PM

I know. I have the same list lol. I talk to my DBF about a stroller. He actually thinks it is a good idea. He want to a Yorkie event with me so he sees we actually need one. He likes that it has a basket under it when we go to festivals. We can put our purchases under it. I had him help me pick one out. I gave him a choice of three.

Always the car seat if Sammy is going too its the big snoozer if its just Callie its the smaller one. If its a pet expo the stroller goes too. Callie has a diaper bag minus the diapers lol. I am so ocd there is probably more I forgot.
It has:
Water
Two collapsible dishes
Treats
Little thing of dog food
Poo bags
Blanket
Wipes
Extra shirt or two
First aid kit
Toy
Comb
Extra Harness
Extra Leash
Extending leash
Then there is the vomit bag. Callie occasionally gets sick in the car so I always have the vomit bag and it has
Extra blankets (for the car seat I always put one in the carseat)
Clorox wipes
Baby wipes
Zip lock bags
Trash bags
Paper towels

No hand sanitizers?

I have poop bags, blankets, wipes, canned food and kibbles, pee pads, treats, first aid kit, water, plastic bags, 2 toys, leash & harness, hand sanitizer. These are always in my car but if we're taking someone elses, that will all be packed in the doggie backpack I use to carry Zoey in.

My friends laughed at me but it stopped when they saw how practical it was. Some friends actually had to borrow some of the stuff on the list for their dogs. LOL

The yorkie purse was a gift from a friend. It doesnt hold alot but it works for a day trip. When we go in the RV,Mina and Skittles have their own closet and drawer in the trailer.

When I purchased the stroller (not very expensive from a flea market) my DH asked "what are you going to use that for?" I have been eyeing a MUCH nicer stroller and he thinks it is a great idea. Shocks on the front wheels,wont shake the babys up.

I'd definitely recommend a stroller

We use ours a lot, even at home. I'll bring it inside & set it next to my desk & ZoE will jump up & take a nap in it. I also use it in the yard if I'm working on a project, so Zo can be right next to me & have a comfortable place to lay down.

In fact, we use it so much, that I just ordered a second one, so I always have one in my car trunk. I got sick of being out somewhere & not having it with me if I didn't think to pack it before we left. So, now I'll have one for around home & one for when we are out n about.

I have been eyeing baby diaper bags to put all the goodies in. Lol

Everything on your list minus the nutrical and pee pads plus Anna's anti anxiety pills.
