gearing up for spring with alcott adventures :: review and giveaway

disclaimer no giveaway

I have not been shy about the fact that I am 100% over this Winter (yay! We are officially in Spring.). I need this snow to miraculously melt overnight and green grass to be as far as the eye can see. But, as ready as I am for Spring, I think Jasper is even more ready. This Winter has been especially brutal on him.

The wet and snowy ground irritates his paws and he can only tolerate the cold for a very short amount of time. But he so desperately wants to be wherever we are, especially when we are all outside. Anticipating that Spring will be a slow warm-up this year and knowing our cabin-fevered family will be outside whenever possible, it is definitely time to outfit this dog!

Honestly, we’re not a big “put a sweater on the dog” kind of family. Mostly because our 80 pound Boxer doesn’t typically fit in doggy sweaters, nor would you really want him to. But the dog gear from Alcott Adventures? That is some doggy gear Jasper can get behind!

Practical, yet still stylish (for your everyday dog), Alcott Adventures features gear for the traveling dog, the explorer, adventurer, the boating dog…even the essentials for the “everyday pooch”. Regardless which category your pup falls in, Alcott Adventures’ gear will have you enjoying your Spring adventures!

I love the Essentials Visibility Dog Vest and Adventure Leash for those Spring evening runs or walks. The Explorer Adventure Jacket looks like a perfect fit for those chilly Spring days in the yard. And the Mariner Life Jacket is a Summer boating must have! (Jasper isn’t a very good swimmer…I had no idea there were dogs who couldn’t swim!)

And the blankets, Explorer Pup Tent and Explorer Sleeping Bag are just begging to be part of our Summer camping fun!

But for now we are happily testing out the Explorer Adventure Boots!

With Jasper’s sensitive paws, the Adventure Boots have been so wonderful! After a little learning curve and some getting used to (and lots of laughs from us), Jasper is totally fine wearing his new boots! They fit snuggly around his “ankles” (do dogs have ankles?) but allow enough room for his paws to flex and move. The reflective top material makes them comfortable and gives some reflective visibility in the evenings, while the rubber soles keep him stable on pretty much any terrain, including the snow. Mostly, they give his paws the protection he needs from the wet and cold snow!

Now, if only Alcott Adventures could make the Midwest weather cooperate so we can be outside more!

    I love the shade canopy! my parents adopted my foster dog, and I love her like she was mine! they often go camping, and though she loves being outside, she’s like me, a wimp in the heat. I think she’d enjoy the shade canopy so she could rest in the shade but not miss a single thing.

    I really love the pup tent! I’m a little torn though, I want it, but I really feel like my little guy will just crawl up with us in our tent….worth a shot!

    The trunk bed looks awesome! I also like the adventure jacket, but I’m not sure it’s big enough for my Great Dane mix…
