OUR FAVORITE LATE SUMMER DOG GEAR
by Brian Koons
Engearment breaks down it's must have picks for summer dogs.
At Engearment, our adventure dogs love spending time outdoors as much as we do. And, just like us humans, sometimes dogs need gear upgrades too. Here’s a list of some of our favorite items to treat your fur baby this summer.
When we buy gear, we often put safety first and buy the most durable gear we can find to keep up with our active lifestyles. Why wouldn’t we put as much thought into purchasing gear for our adventure dogs as well?
Founded in 2015, Gunner Kennels created the G1, the toughest dog travel crate available. Despite a hefty price tag (MSRP $399 – $699) Gunner Kennels are the only travel crates to receive a dual 5-Star crash test rating from the Center for Pet Safety and carry a lifetime warranty.
How durable are they really? The G1 large crate can withstand 4,000 lb. of force, a 200+ ft cliff drop, a 12-gauge shotgun at 7 steps, and 630 lbs. Dropped from 8’4”. Need more convincing? Take a look at some of the testimonials from customers who got into severe car accidents and their dogs traveling in the G1 crates survived.
Key features of the double-wall roto molded G1 travel crates include tie down points, and a recessed floor with drain plug (so that your dog isn’t sitting in water or mud on the way home).

This month, JR Ligget’s expanded its soap line by introducing a new animal product line that includes six bar (3.5 ounces) and six liquid shampoos (8.45 ounce recyclable bottles, 16.9 ounce recyclable bottles) designed for specific animals. For example, “Max” is a dog flea and tick shampoo with CBD oil. “Bella” is a shampoo designed for sensitive dogs.
All of these products are formulated with essential oils, such as Olive Oil and Coconut Oil, and none of the products contain any detergents or genetically modified organisms. These formulas are meant to leave essential natural oils in the dog’s coat and remove just the unwanted dirt and dander leaving behind a clean, healthy coat. One bar is the equivalent of 24 ounces of liquid shampoo.
