7. “Dogs just love vanlife – it really is a dog’s dream. They get to experience all kinds of new places, sights, and smells, and meet all kinds of new people and dogs. They get to run and frolic through some of the most beautiful natural areas this world has to offer. And they get to spend every day with you, their best friend.” – @vanofmydreams

13. “We trudge home after the longest days and we fling open the door and there in the hallways and the foyers and the backyards across the globe are these creatures who believe we are the best thing that’s ever happened to them. Who believe that there is no one, anywhere in the world who is greater than us. It’s a sacred thing to love, and to be loved, by a dog.”– @briannamadia

Van Life with a Dog or Cat

Van Life can come with its own set of challenges and limitations. The biggest challenges that these humans mentioned were the lack of space and hours spent in the car rides. Fortunately, this 2-in-1 Water Bottle helps to minimize the amount of gear travelers need to take! Simply detach the dog bowl from the water bottle, fill with water & both of you can have a drink anywhere. While our furry friends like to sleep, they need to be mentally stimulated too! Our Nina Ottosson Dog Worker is the best fit! This puzzle challenges your dog in new ways while presenting them with tasty treats with each discovery! Additionally, this dog game has built in pieces that don’t come out when your dog plays with it. As a result, pieces of the puzzle won’t be rolling all over the van.

We’re living vicariously through these pawrents and their companions, and it’s obvious why. We’ll put van life on our bucket list to do someday, but for now, at least we can enjoy their adventures with their furry friends!
