Beach Days with Your Pup: Must-Have Beach Dog Supplies + Tips for a Perfect Day in the Sun
Share
There’s nothing like a day at the beach including sunshine, salty air, and sand between your toes. And if you’re like us at Aloha Dog Co., your pup is part of the crew. Whether you're paddleboarding, strolling the shoreline, or simply soaking up the sun, bringing your dog along makes it even better.
But a great beach day with your dog takes a little planning. From the right beach dog supplies to smart safety tips, here’s how to make every seaside adventure smooth, safe, and fun for both of you.
🐾 The Must-Have Beach Dog Supplies
Not all gear is built for sand, saltwater, and adventure. That’s why we created Aloha Dog Co. to make bold, durable gear that’s ready for the elements. Here’s what to pack:
1. Beach Dog Collar
Your regular collar might not cut it. At the beach, you want something quick-drying, fade-resistant, and secure. Our beach dog collars are made from durable nylon with reinforced stitching and sturdy buckles, designed to hold up against sun, salt, and surf. Bonus: the tropical-inspired prints make your pup look as vacation-ready as you are.
2. Beach Leash
A long, tangle-free leash is key for sandy walks and ocean play. Our beach leashes are lightweight but strong, giving you control without getting weighed down when wet. Plus, they come in matching colors to your pup’s collar because beach style matters too.
3. Collapsible Water Bowl
Hydration is non-negotiable. Always bring a bowl and plenty of fresh water to keep your pup cool and prevent them from drinking seawater (trust us, you don’t want that cleanup).
4. Shade & Towel
Dogs can overheat quickly. Bring an umbrella or beach tent, and lay down a towel so your dog has a cool spot to rest.
5. Dog-Safe Sunscreen
Yep, dogs can get sunburned especially those with light-colored fur or short coats. Look for a pet-safe sunscreen and apply to sensitive areas like their nose, ears, and belly.
🏖️ Tips for Bringing Your Dog to the Beach
Now that you’re packed, here are a few beach-smart tips to keep things safe and stress-free.
Know the rules: Not all beaches are dog-friendly, and some have leash laws or time restrictions. Look it up before you go.
Keep it cool: Avoid midday heat. Go early or late to beat the sun and the crowds.
Rinse off: Salt and sand can irritate your dog’s skin. Rinse them with fresh water before heading home.
Watch the waves: Not all dogs are swimmers, and even strong ones can get pulled in by rough surf. Stay close and use a long leash for water play if needed.
Check the paws: Hot sand and sharp shells can cause cuts or burns. Keep an eye on those feet.
