If your pet is a handful, the bright Kapai hip pack from Cotopaxi, made out of repurposed fabric (from $35, cotopaxi.com), can hold all your essentials in two compartments, leaving both hands free to play. Another accessory to bring on your walks? A classic felt tennis ball from Wild One ($9, wildone.com) to toss around. The toy comes in two unusual colors-cream and lilac-and is sure to set your dog apart from the pack.
Walk This Way
Wilderdog's leashes ($32, wilderdog.com), crafted from rock-climbing rope, can be lengthened and shortened. A carabiner locks the rope onto harnesses and collars like these from Leeds Dog Supply, which supports no-kill rescues and shelters ($19.95, leedsdogsupply.com). Pair with a Wild One Poop Bag Carrier ($8, wildone.com).
Riding High
Let your pet know you have their back by carrying them in More Than a Backpack's dog carrier ($39.99, morethanabackpack.com). The padded, lightweight backpack is made from mesh and features an elastic neck area to keep your curious companion cool and comfortable.

THE NEW RULES OF BUSINESS TRAVEL
In the era of hybrid teams, everyone is a road warrior-not just sales teams and C-suite execs. It's part of why business travel spending is expected to finally reach, and perhaps surpass, pre-pandemic levels by the end of the year, according to Deloitte.
