Things to bring to
Alaska—pet supplies
Just as we could not bring along enough food for months
of travel, we knew we would need to purchase pet food and treats during our
Alaska stay. As it turned out, dogs are not just pets in Alaska. They are a
lifestyle. We were set. Resources were all around.

Costco carries familiar
brands. There are Petsmart stores in Anchorage. We also became fans of Alaska
Mill and Feed in Anchorage, with its pet supply section that rivals big box
stores plus a knowledgeable staff that is super helpful and willing to spend
time helping customers make selections.
