5 Essential Items Every Dog Parents Must Have This 2024

With so many dog tools and accessories available, it can be overwhelming to know which ones to focus on. Start by identifying the essentials—items that are most useful and would be included in a basic Dog Parent 101 Starter Pack. This approach will help you narrow down the choices to the most practical and frequently used tools.

So, without further ado, here’s Joyride Harness’s ultimate guide to the 5 Essential Items Every Dog Parent Needs!

1. Joyride Harness

Taking your dogs for a walk with a collar might not be the best long-term option due to the pressure it places on their necks, which can lead to tracheal collapse. Harnesses are a safer alternative that prevents these issues.

The design of our harness not only considers your dog's health and safety but also serves as an effective training tool to reduce or eliminate pulling, helping train your dog to heel on a specific side. Ultimately, the goal is for your dog to walk beside you, not lead you.

2. 2-in-1 Seatbelt and Double Handle Dog Leash

Get the best of both worlds with the 2-in-1 seatbelt AND double handle dog leash. Easily unbuckle from a car ride and lead straight into a dog walk with the double handle dog leash that this seatbelt doubles as! Convenient, safe, and secure! Only the best for your forever fur baby.

3. Deshedding Gloves

Not only are they easy to use, but they also help maintain a clean and healthy coat for your beloved pet. Regular use of these gloves reduces shedding, stimulates natural oils for a shiny coat, and keeps your furniture and floors hair-free.

4. LED Light Harness

These are really bright and catch drivers' attention much better than reflective materials. An ideal LED dog harness should be bright, have a long-lasting battery, and offer different light modes. 

The Joyride LED harness is perfect for your dog. After charging, the harness light lasts 6-8 hours. It goes around the harness, so your dog is visible from all sides. You can set the LED to blink quickly, slowly, or stay on continuously.

5. Eco-Friendly Poo Bags + Dispenser 

Nobody likes poop scoopin'! So, we made these bags to better deal with those poopy situations. These aren't your typical cheaply made poop bags that rip, tear, and leak. Not only that, they are biodegradable, earth-friendly, and come in our original blue color print!
