Okay, what should I bring to the fest for dogs? Im bringing my Doberman, I wanna make a "Dipar bag" for him.

Question

And I dont know what to put in it. what should I bring? He is very hyper, hes only a year and 1/2 .
Im bringing a leash& collar, also his choke chain bc of the other dogs, it will be easier for me to handle him. But what else should I bring? I know water and treats, but what else?
We live in florida and its going to be held at our extremly large flea market, And it gets pretty hott, and I want to make sure were BOTH comfortable. This is the web site for it.http://fleamall.com/pages/event.html

And what should I bring and put water in? I want to make a back pack. So please. Give me ANY IDEA!!! For me AND him. Also, Ask me questions if you need more. I'll check in every few minutes and edit.

Answer 1

First of all plenty of water! A bowl to put the water in. Food, because you dont want to eat in front of him. Treats, toys, an umbrella for shade, leash, collar.

Answer 2

Bring pediolyte and potassium pills and ice in case of heat stroke. If no room for ice the little boxes that you place in the freezer can be brought.
The pop up water bowls are convenient( these are heavy nylon, I believe). They are easily turned over, though. A heavy shallow type bowl is much more stable.
A large umbrella or some type of covering for shade. On a really hot trip we wrap large bottle of ice in towels and place this inside the kennels with the dogs. Is there a place for an electric fan to put on him?
You will need your hands free at times , so will either need a carrying kennel( with the heat, wire would be recommended) or stake out method( but then you have tangling issues).
When outdoors,a fly gel for horses can be applied to dogs to keep all insects off.
Always bring plenty old towels. You never know what may come up.

Answer 3

You could get water bottles with water in them already. If you want to freeze one to keep eveything cool in the pack and this way you won't need to bring ice.

It looks like a lot of fun!

Answer 4

bring hand sanitizer, you will probably eat and flea markets are dirty. also bring a bowl and two or three water bottles for you and your pup to share.
