Having the right gear makes beach and hiking adventures with your dog easier and safer. From women’s hiking essentials to dog-specific equipment, here’s what you actually need for outdoor adventures in San Diego.
🏆 20+ Times Tested Gear
After years exploring San Diego beaches and trails, these are the products we’ve tested 20, 30, even 50+ times in real conditions—both for ourselves AND with our Shih Tzu Tutú.
We know this gear better than anyone:
- Tested in San Diego’s specific conditions (heat, sand, coastal trails)
- Proven durability over years of use
- Works for women adventurers AND small dogs (tested on both!)
- Real pros and cons from repeated testing
