July is National Picnic Month - take your dog along!

I think we pride ourselves about knowing all the major holidays and for that matter, some not so major but who really would have known that July is National Picnic month?

We are all about celebrating and being outdoors, so what better way to celebrate one Saturday than to celebrate National Picnic Month? Grab the dog, grab the kids and the picnic basket and get to the park or a local dog park. Our very own Sugarbear and Little Sis love picnics and so will your dog, it gives you a reason to really get outside and enjoy the day.

When packing up your picnic for the day, don't forget vital items: food, eating utensils, drinks and a blanket. For the picnic-going dog you may need a few more items.

Your dog will need to remember some vital rules and fashionable dog items when picnicking with the crew:

• A dog hat to keep the sun from your dog's eyes - try the great dog bucket hat, perfect with any outfit.
• A good dog leash and collar to ensure your dog doesn't run a muck. Sugarbears Pampered Pets has a great Up Country Red Bandana Dog Collar, Dog Leash and Dog Harness set, surely to set the mood.
• Protect your dog's eyes with a pair of Doggles
• For the Diva dog who likes to prance in the grass, get one of the custom dog tutu's exclusive to Sugarbears Pampered Pets.
• Must have a portable dog bowl for water to keep your dog hydrated during play
• Gotta have a great dog toy, try the Oddball Jr dog football.
• A dog's gotta eat, so try the Peanut Butter with crust dog treats

Go ahead, plan your picnic and have a great time doing it!
