Recommended travel gear for dogs
Gear worth packing.
Practical dog travel gear in one place – for comfortable car journeys, hydration, rest, time by the water and shared trips.
What is useful to take when travelling with a dog?
Adapt your gear to the length of the journey, weather and what awaits you at the destination. A few things, however, are useful again and again on ordinary trips, competitions and longer holidays – a comfortable harness and leash, water with a bowl, a place to rest and equipment suited to the season and planned activity.
Water and hot-weather gear
Fresh water should be available on every journey. A travel or spill-resistant bowl is practical, and in warm weather you can add cooling gear depending on the situation. For sport or more demanding activity, choose hydration supplements according to the needs of the individual dog.
Rest on the road and at the destination
Travel bed or Vetbed gives your dog a practical place to rest in the car, crate, hotel, tent or beside a competition course. Compact and easy-to-clean versions are especially useful for travel.
Gear according to your plans
If you are heading to the water, your gear may include a life jacket and a dog drying robe. For a hike, focus on a well-fitting harness, a suitable leash, enough water and basic gear for dealing with minor mishaps.
You do not need to take everything. Pack what matches your trip.
You need different gear for two hours in the car, a full-day hike or a week by the sea. This category therefore brings together our recommended travel products for different situations. If you already know where you are going, you can continue straight to the relevant category.
