Best Tips For Safe Pet Travel

Meet Doe, our new Rat Terrier puppy that we just adopted from San Diego!  Doe is a 14 week old female pup that is cute as a button, but fiesty as a whip.

My husband and I owned two Rat Terriers before named Jumper and Tinker.  Tinker was the first dog to be featured as “Field Trip Dog” on SoCalFieldTrips.com.  We loved Tinker’s personality so much, that we wanted to adopt another Rat Terrier when were able.  So now, the new dog journey begins with Doe!  

Doe is a very high energy puppy who loves to soak up the outdoors and enjoys walking, jogging and playing ball for hours on end.  She doesn’t hesitate to tell us what she’s thinking either.  She makes all sorts of funny noises when she wants our attention or is chasing after one of the kids.  

We also quickly discovered that Doe doesn’t like household chores, and would rather chase after the broom, than help pick up the leaves.  Oh, my!  We definitely have our hands full, but we can’t resist her sweet looking face!

5 Ways To Nourish Your Relationship With Your Dog

Are you looking for a healthy dog food? In 2007, with help from pet nutrition experts, Rachael Ray created Nutrish super-premium food and treats for dogs inspired by recipes from her own kitchen. Every Nutrish DISH recipe is made with whole ingredients you can see, like slow-roasted chicken, carrots, peas and apples. Plus there is no poultry by-product meal or fillers in the recipes.

If you’re a dog lover, you know that dogs are like friends – even more, best friends!   To a dog person, there isn’t much difference between a human friend and a furry one.  We love them both.  The best part about owning a dog is that they love you unconditionally, no matter what.  And for that rare quality, this affection is reciprocated tenfold.

In my life, that one special dog is named Field Trip Dog!  He is a rescue puppy that I got three years ago from a local animal rescue in Southern California.  He was surrendered by his previous owners who could no longer care for him and apparently there was some mistreatment involved.  Field Trip Dog was only 5 months old at the time when I rescued him.  But now he is a healthy, happy 3-year-old mutt with a big, bright future ahead of him.

I only want what’s best for Field Trip Dog.  The best of friends, the best excercise and of course, the best food.  I want to nourish him from the inside out!

So, to encourage you to “nourish” your own relationship with your special canine, here are a few suggestions:

Feed your dog high quality dog food

Feeding your dog top quality dog food is very important!  That’s why recently I made the switch to serving Field Trip Dog Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® DISH Beef & Brown Rice Recipe.

Hi!  My name is Field Trip Dog and you often hear my mom talk about me on SoCal Field Trips.com.  However, today I’m taking over as “dog and chief” and are going to share with you about a recent get away I took with my parents to Carlsbad, California.

It had been a stressful week back at home and we couldn’t wait to get away.  I looked forward to running through the lushish green grass at the dog park and strolling down PCH and smelling the fresh ocean breeze.

To be honest, it’s hard to have a getaway weekend with my parents when I’m not accepted at most places.  Don’t get me wrong, normally when I see people they greet me warmly and give me a lot of affection.  The unfortunate part though is that when my parents go on vacation, I usually have to stay home with a sitter.  I wish most places would accept me, but the truth is they don’t.

But last weekend was different!  I finally got to go on a fun getaway weekend with my parents to San Diego, where we stayed for two nights, three days at Extended Stay America San Diego – Carlsbad Village by the Sea.  That’s right, I was the welcome third wheel!

A Field Trip to The Huntington Dog Beach

Posted on July 14, 2016 | Filed Under: Field Trips in Orange County, Giveaways, Pets, Products | 19 Comments

Huntington Dog Beach is located in Huntington Beach, California and is 1.5 miles of pure doggy paradise. Dogs can frolic freely off-leash in the waves and chase other pooches into the sunset.

One our favorite things to do as a family on the weekends is to take Field Trip Dog to the Huntington Dog Beach in Orange County.  The Huntington Dog Beach is 1.5 miles of pure doggy paradise where furry friends can frolic freely off-leash in the waves, sniff in the sand till their hearts are content and chase after other pooches into the sunset.  Named one of the country’s top 10 Fido-friendly beaches by Fido Friendly Magazine and a Critic’s Choice pick in the Orange County Register, the Huntington Dog Beach is the perfect place to spend a few hours with your favorite mutt.

For some time now, I have been looking for a reliable beach wagon to take with us.  Between all the sand toys, buggy boards, beach chairs and snacks that I bring, I normally have to go back to our car two or three times to get all of our stuff out.  But on Sunday I took our new Rio Brands Wonder Wheeler Deluxe instead.  The night before I packed up all of our supplies in the car and then unloaded them into the Wonder Wheeler the next day at the beach.

The Wonder Wheeler Deluxe is not your everyday wagon!  It uses the same technology as a baby stroller and has two gigantic 10 -inch rear wheels and an extended neoprene handle that makes pulling it across the sand a breeze.

Furthermore, the wagon’s 4.5-inch diameter front wheels helped my husband push the cart down the concrete path to the Huntington Dog Beach with ease.

About the Huntington Dog Beach

The sand at the Huntington Dog Beach is similar to other beaches in Southern California.  It is hot and grainy and most children love to play in it!  I highly recommend bringing along some sand toys for your children when you visit though.  It can help keep them entertained for hours!  An umbrella is also handy to help protect yourself from the sun.

The waves at Huntington Dog Beach are fun for children and dogs too!  Field Trip Boy had a fantastic time boogie boarding with some of the other pet-loving kids, while Field Trip Dog chased him in and out of waves over and over again.  Just make sure to bring an extra towel with you to dry off your furry pet afterwards!

After our fun-filled day at the beach, it was time to pack up and head home.  Again, I had no problem loading our stuff back into the Wonder Wheeler Deluxe, because it has 15-cubic feet of storage in all.  The beach cart literally has pockets for everything, including an umbrella.

I never worried about running out of space either.  I put our wet clothes and towels in the large mesh bag and our leftover snacks in the cart’s removable tote bag.  For larger families, the Wonder Wheeler Deluxe even has space for a cooler and can carry up to four beach chairs at a time.

Once we got back to our car, I simply folded up the Wonder Wheeler Deluxe using the two push levers on the sides.  I can definitely see myself using this cart again when we go beach camping, off-roading or boating in the future because it is multifaceted.
