Canadian pet gear guide

Storing pet gear at home

A small storage zone for walking, travel, grooming and feeding supplies can reduce duplicate purchases and make worn gear easier to spot.

Group by use

Walking gear near the door and travel gear together can simplify routines.

Dry wet gear first

Do not seal snow- or rain-soaked equipment into storage.

Keep food-related gear separate

Food, treats and feeding accessories should be stored according to packaging and hygiene needs.

Keep records

Model information for powered feeders, fountains or trackers can help with recalls and replacement parts.

General product-selection information only. A pet's health, anatomy, mobility, breathing and behaviour can change what equipment is appropriate. Follow product directions and ask a veterinarian or qualified animal-care professional when those issues matter.
